[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1621948"] Long shot, but there is a bug in Yosemite (and mavericks and several generations back) where if your Mac goes to sleep and the network loses connections, when it wakes up and reconnects the name of the Mac will become "whatever (#)" where whatever is the original name and the number increments up from 2 to infinity, I guess. That's why nickyr had to delete the (11) from his machine. There is no fix. But [URL="http://www.macworld.com/article/2849849/bugs-and-fixes-whats-with-yosemite-renaming-shared-devices.html"]this article[/URL] discusses some possible approaches. What I did was to go into System Preferences/Energy Saver and set the Computer Sleep slider all the way to the right at "Never." That way the CPU never shuts off and you never lose the WiFi connection, so the renaming doesn't happen. You can let the display sleep have the screen go black, just leave the CPU ticking over. It seems to be working for me. [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
