OS X :: How To Add A Host Name To My IMac's
Nov 23, 2009
When I look on my routers DCHP tables, I can see my two iMac's but there is no 'Host Name' data next to the IP Address (there is with the various other devices).Where to I tell the iMac what 'Host Name' I want it to have in order for it to report this back to the router?

First thing to say is that the G4 starts fine (remarkably quickly in comparison with the new iMac) and appears to run okay. However, on running the disk utility I’ve found that there is a problem with the hard drive and it won’t verify either the hard drive or repair the permissions. Like many of its kind the optical drive has failed and therefore I can’t use the installation CD to reinstall or anything else. My daughter has been using the G4 for some years but has upgraded to MBP and wants me to take her files and put them on another hard drive and then wipe the G4 clean. At the moment the disk utility will not work at all. So I’ve been attempting to start it up in TDM via FireWire. The G4 starts up okay in TDM (the FireWire symbol appears on the screen) but there is no sign of it on the new iMac. In the light of what I’ve said so far does it seem probable that I will ever be able to get the start-up disk to work? I have connected the two computers via a Wi-Fi network and have been able to see the disc but when I have run the disk utility it has always reverted back to the G4’s own program.

I have a MacBook Pro. Recently, I bought a silly little app called Remote Jr. for my iPhone. It allows me to view my desktop through Wi-FI or 3G iPhone internet from anywhere. However, the little app is nothing but trouble. I need to find the host so that the Remote program can locate my computer.

Is it safe?

Is there a way to run Mac OS X as a virtual machine on a Mac OS X host? My Mac OS X system is configured as a server for my home network. It provides mail, DNS, and DHCP services to other systems on my home network. Occasionally, I need to establish an IPsec VPN connection to work from the Mac OS X system. When I do this mail, DNS, and DHCP are not available. Are there any options aside from purchasing another system to be the server for my home network?

I have a machine running OS X Server v10.4.11, and I'm trying to export some NFS mounts. I have the intended shared directory (a folder called NetBackups on a disk called xRAID L) added in Workgroup Manager, with access set to "World", but if I issue the command to another OSX machine (IP has been replaced with 0s) "sudo mount -t nfs 000.000.000.000:/Volumes/xRAID L/NetBackups test", I get an access denied error.

So I've been having a lot of internet issues since clean installing leopard. My neighbor, who works for Verizon, came over to take a look and thought I was having some DNS issues. He edited the "host" file and now my internet connection seems even worse. I found instructions online on how to edit the host file, but could someone post what the host file is actually supposed to look like in Snow Leopard since I don't know what he changed? I still have a completely clean install of SL, no 3rd party apps yet.

having a problem connecting to my built-in FTP server. I can connect to it from the macbook pro it is running on by using my IP address or my loopback address. however when I try to connect to it from another host (on the same subnet as my MBP) I can't. My MBP just doesn't respond to the connection attempts. I ran wireshark on my MBP and it shows that it doesn't respond. I can see the SYN packets coming in but no SYN/ACK packets are sent back.

I have gone through the setup of my newly installed lion server software. I setup a server.example.private host name and have turned on file sharing, and VPN. I bought the server software so I can access my host computer from my IPad and a windows based laptop. When I attempt to setup the profile manager I get to the screen in the directory admin setup that asks for the host name and password, etc. The name and host name are already populated with a generic names and the password fields are blank. Whether I leave the generic fields blank and try and enter a new password or change the generic fields and password to something new I get the same error message every time. It says "Computers host name is invalid. The host name does not resolve to any configured address on this comp. ensure the host name is correct. How do I find out what the correct host name is for my computer?

Im very green to the apple way of computing, before I got this new aluminum macbook from santa I've always used windows. Anyway, I am loving my new apple but of course transferring all my old stuff and getting used to how the new programs work can be quite a hassle. Right now im trying to get apple mail to function like outlook did. Please be patient with me. I have several email addresses, private, business, hobby, etc. They go with several of my websites. But they are all hosted with the same server, so although every email has a different name, they all use the same mail server, user name and password.
I know I can add new accounts and by adding different email addresses to the name, divided with a , I can send emails from different addresses. But here is my problem. Every email I send comes from the same sender, the same name but a different email address. info@hab.nl & jo@jo.nl all come from sender Jo, not from hab & jo as I would like. Everytime I try to add a new account I get this message; "The account "jo" already has this hostname and username". I know it does! But I still want to use those with different email accounts, just like I used to do in Outlook.

is it possible to network 2x virtual machines (on the same box; a Mac Pro) using any of the available VM suites out there (vmware or parallels, etc)? I'm developing/QAing client/server apps, and it would suck if i have to purchase more machines when I have 8x cores and 16GB of RAM available at my disposal on my MP.

I recently moved from a pc and used to broadcast audio using winamp using shoutcast to host.
It seems the best alternative on mac is nicecast which i use frequently.
It would be nice to find a mac host (like shoutcast) so people could connect in without me sending them a url.

After I upgraded to 10.7.4 I receive popup windows informing that: This computer's local hostname "ComputerName" is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to "ComputerName-1.local" every time my Mac wakes up. The number at the end of computer name increases every time I wake my Mac Pro up.
- Disk permissions repair brings no errors.
- After Mac restart - the same result
- As before I use both LAN and WiFi connections with LAN in higher priority.

Before last week, I was always able to go to http://localhost. Now all I get is Unable to connect. I don't care if I go to http://192.168.1.xxx or 127.0.0.1. Still won't work. It use to go to whatever my index.html file was. Now nothing. What might have happened?

For several years now, daily, I've ran through a number of different HDD's under relatively stable (although hard-working) conditions (Seagate, WD, and now Hitachi). None of them ever crashed until recently (WDD Caviar Black 640MB). But there have regularly been periods of time (before that) in the past when I would hear what sounded like sharp-twang on Shutdown - like a noise from a toy ray-gun or something. It's happened a few other times in the past, although an HDD has never failed shortly thereafter.

I have created a website using my iWeb application, but I cannot figure out how to get it up and running through my host. I have an account with justhost.com, and they claim it is an easy process to get iWeb sites online through them, but I have tried and still can't figure it out.
