Wifi hub has started showing up as shared in explorer, seems to be a server and will not let me see any corresponding file/program info

Ok so I am constantly very paranoid on my mac ever since I was attacked badly a year ago and my system was totally compromised (I attached a second monitor and fiddled with hardware settings, so when the main screen went to sleep the other would stay on). Within a few days I saw him controlling my mouse and copying loads of my info (some valuable) into a dropbox account when screensaver or sleep was on. I've a pretty good reason to be cautious.
Suddenly in the last two days I've noticed that our Bt.HomeHub shows in explorer on the left as 'shared'. Strange thing is right clicking and getting info gives nothing but blank and spinning wheels (pics below, top left), when I click on the server it I get three requests from NetAuthSysAgent (three request diags bottom of pic 1). After confirming them I can try to join the network BtHuB4 Network as a 'registered user' with password (what password?! I never set up our hub to share anything, let alone act as a server) or as guest. Selecting guest just says connection failed.
Also I have two what seem like ghost drives of some sort appeared in my computer folder, both are hidden, and I'd like to know what their function is, what is stored there (both say zero bytes). Second Pic.
I use little snitch and have been monitoring what NetBiosd and Nptp have been doing and they seem to be making so many UDP connections even the little snitch network monitor crashes after a couple of seconds just monitoring it's actrivity, every time the traffic in any system process is ridiculously higher than others it's when it's connected to server [IP addy] bthomehub.home, I got a screen capture just in time after clicking view logs, you can see the box is pixelating after a second or two already. Third pic.

Noticed in system log in console the only thing that shows up when I fail to enter the BtHub4 log in as a guest was this:

I'm pretty confused tbh what going on, when I start seeing things I don't know what they are or what they do pop up, and all user access to disable/change/modify/delete them is not there, I worry I've been hacked again!
Thanks if anyone can clear anything up.

EDIT: To try to work out what those two midden volumes are do I tried this in terminal, gave me this:
[code]
garys-mac-pro:volumes gary$ ls -l -a -i
total 524
13694 drwxrwxrwt@ 7 root admin     238 30 Oct 22:07 .

47104 drwxr-xr-x   1 gary staff    2048 12 Sep 17:59 Untitled 1
garys-mac-pro:volumes gary$
[/code]
I presume those ghost type volumes, net and home, are the ones showing up there with names as . and .. and run by 7 root admin. Shouldn't technically I be the user admin since only I use this machine? No idea why i'm listed as gary staff ... Soz for all the questions, I really wanna learn

My MacBook Pro has Mac OSX 10.5.8 and will not let me update any further. Why?

I have a MacBook Pro that I purchased in 2009 (It doesn't have a SD card slot, but is an aluminum body). Right now it's using Mac OS X 10.5.8 and will not let me update any further, which means that I cannot install any new versions of iTunes or some other programs. How can I fix this?

You can't upgrade beyond 10.5.8, that is the final step for Leopard.
You can purchase Snow Leopard (10.6.x) from Apple (but you should have 2G of Ram installed, and sufficient hard drive space). Your Mac is fully capable of running Snow Leopard and will probably already meet the specs I mentioned.

When it starts setting up the trial, it says "trying to connect to server" and will not go any farther in the process. I have left it for multiple hours, yet it never works. I need help!!

I already stated the problem above, but I am able to download the file. Yet, when I try to begin the setup it says "trying to connect to server" and does not do anything else. I need help to finish the set-up!

The iTunes Store has no phone support and never has. Contacting them has always been via web form. Go here:

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

IPod shows as camera and will not let me use as disk space. Please Help!!

Okay, so i know that this has probably been asked before, but every similar question i read was a little different from my specific problem. Maybe someone on here can help me. :)) *crosses fingers*
I've had my iPod Touch since summer, and I just got a new laptop for Christmas. So I want to transfer my iTunes over to my new computer, of course. I read the tutorial on Apple Support, but when I went to drag my Library over to my iPod, it was showing up in My Computer as a camera, and will not let me use it as disk space. I've also followed the steps to stop the automatic Camera pop-up when I plug in my iPod. Yes, my iPod is set up on manual, so disk use SHOULD be enabled, correct? I am positive that I also have the latest iTunes software. AND my USB ports are up to date.
Sorry for the overly-thorough problem description, but I have read too many of the similar posts, and I know all the usual suggestions. But seriously, any help is appreciated. Thanks guys.
-Happy New Year

Hi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Sorry to say that you cannot use an iPod Touch as an "external" drive, unlike the "Classic" etc. which I believe have this feature.
To transfer your library you will have to back it up to disc(s), a different type of HD or use a network to send the files over.
Good luck,
Dud.

HT2534 When I try to set up an Apple ID, it's asking for a credit card, and there is no "None" option, like this page suggests. How can I bypass this? This iPad is for a younger child who has no credit card, and will not need to make any purchases.

When I open iTunes, it will not allow me to preview or download TV shows. The preview and download options are gray and will not let me view them. I have tried installing the latest Quicktime but it tells me that I have to do software update and when I do, Quicktime does not appear to need an update. I have no idea what to do

Click on your preference and check the Parental tab for possible restrictions. Open iTunes, then click the iTunes menu, select preferences after the window opens click on the Parental icon, take a look at the content restrictions section.

I changed my Appleid online yesterday because the old one was based on an email address that is no longer active. My phone still shows the old Appleid and will not let me access APP store etc. How can I get the phone to accept the new ID?

I channged my Appleid at appleid.com and now the phone stills shows my old id and will not let apps that require id/password prompts work.

Just scroll to the bottom of the screen in the store, log out and then login with the new ID.
As long as you changed it from the manage account option at https://appleid.apple.com/ (ie. replaced the primary email address with a new one), then all your old purchases should be fine.

If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPod into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

I downloaded the new version and it has reverted to the old and will not let me re-install the new because it thinks it is installed

I downloaded the new version of Pages and it has reverted to the old version. It will not let me re-install the new version because it thinks it has it installed

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

There is no user name needed to "enter" or use iPhones...
Assuming you mean your iTunes Store account ID:
Settings > Store > tap ID > sign out > sign in with new ID

Wifi hub has started showing up as shared in explorer, seems to be a server and will not let me see any corresponding file/program info
