Remove a computer Apple TV

Fundamental question: is it possible to shut down a computer to appear in the list of computers Apple TV without turning off home sharing on this computer?

More details: I have two computers, an iMac and a MacBook Air. The iMac has most of my iTunes library, but I have home sharing enabled for the laptop so that I can access my music library here. Because administrator accounts both computers are on my behalf, and both have home sharing, when I go in the computers list on my Apple TV (4th gen) to watch or listen to something of my iMac, I see the iMac and MacBook listed, with exactly the same name so I can't tell which is which. The order that they are listed in the changes at random too. In order to achieve half of the time I select one, it of the MacBook and isn't the content that I want and then have to go back and select another. Not something huge, but boring.

I never need to access anything on my MacBook through Apple TV, so let me just to stop the spread upward in the list. Is it possible to do without having to disable the home sharing on the MacBook?

You might close the lid, quit iTunes, you log out of your user account or close the Macbook down, all that these will work.

Given that you do not turn off home sharing and your problem seems to be mainly a identification, why not just change the name of one of the computers (System Preferences > sharing > computer name)

    I have a computer on my list of "scan to" on my HP Envy 7640, which is no longer in use.  How can I remove the computer name in the list?

    With the help of Apple / Mac OS X Yosemite

    Thank you!

    I can't help but wonder if the computer is still on the same network as the printer. Even if you have no more than the computer, you may give it to someone else who uses the same network as you? I think it's weird that the printer is always to see the computer. If this computer and the printer are not on the same network, perhaps to restore the printer to the factory settings would help. To do this test, please complete the following steps;

    1. On the front panel of the printer, scroll down to the second main menu screen by sliding your finger to the right of the screen to the left
    2. Choose settings, or Setup
    3. Select printer maintenance
    4. Go to restoration
    5. Choose both restore factory default settings

    Once this operation is completed, you will need to reconfigure the printer to your wireless network. Please let me know if this is the case. Thank you.

  • How to remove a computer from my working group under XP and Windows 7?

    We have recently implemented a network composed of our three computers (2 XP) Home Office and 1 Windows 7 to share files and printers.

    However, we found its malfunction and could not share what we expect.  One of the reasons, we can see it, could be one of the computers have been infected.

    So, we try to remove this computer from the working group.

    However, no matter how hard I searched on Internet, there is no way to remove the infected computer's existing working group.

    There that experts can help us?

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    You cannot remove a computer from a working group, but you can change the name of the working group.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/295017

    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/51711-workgroup-name-view-change.html

    But that will not necessarily mean that they are not accessible by other computers on the network, or it will necessarily make the other less likely to be infected through this PC computers.

    The only way to "withdrawal" of a computer on a network is to unplug the network cable or remove the name of the wireless network.

    If you are concerned about a possible infection, you must get the malware to day and scan for malware protection.

    However, I suspect it's more likley your problems are caused by the lack of knowledge in the topic network different Windows operating system. This can help...

  • cannot open a session - tried to remove the computer from a domain

    XP pro SP3-

    My computer was an area where I logged on using a card chip.  I remove the computer from the domain and use it at home.  In the network dialog box, I changed from one domain to a home network and restarted by fashion.  Now, it's starting to use CTRL-ALT-DELETE, then a username and password that I did not and I do not have the opportunity to specify a field or use the smart card.  Blanks do not work.

    I want to undo what I've done and join the field, I can use the smart card and unlock the computer.  Any ideas how I can do this?  I can not use safe mode or get to the command prompt.

    Thanks JW

    I went hat in hand for people to support admin area and after going through a long list of their combinations of name/pw super secret they have finally found one that worked and were able to reconnect to the field.

    I intend to set up a new user with local newspaper on but all first I have to work around security policies when they me reconnected to the field.  I plan to permanently remove this computer from their LAN, who has started all this in the first place.  Pain in the neck for policy all number, disables USB (kill all external drives, including the optics I) etc.  I can fix it everything that it (still) was not aware of this bump on the road when I tried to switch on my home network.

  • How can I remove a computer not recognized in my homegroup?

    There are three computers in our House, and a fourth is resumed, a name that I do not recognize. It seems that the only way to remove a computer from homegroup is through this computer, which obviously I can't do, is there another way?

    Hello

    I suggest delete and join the homegroup and check if that helps. If everyone leaves the homegroup, it doesn't exist. For more information, see leave a homegroup.

    Hello

    Method 1:
    Temporarily disable firewall and antivirus on each machine.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks

    Method 2:
    You can also follow these steps and check:
    a. go to the control panel and access the system and security.
    b. go to administrative tools and then double-click Services.
    Locate and stop following 2 services, after that try to leave the homegroup. You can also set the startup type of the services disabled.
