Your computer might be changing its name every time it is connected to a different computer network. A different computer name will cause StyleGuard to disable the style collection.
To resolve the problem:
Bring up the Terminal (a system application). To open the Terminal, navigate to your Applications folder, open Utilities and double click on Terminal. You will be greeted with a message similar to this:
Last login: Tue Mar 6 17:21:36 on console

It consists of your computer name, your current directory and your short username. When you first start Terminal, your current directory will be “~” which is short for your home directory (/Users/Your username).

scutil --set HostName SGMacBookPro
(Note the — before set is two dashes next to each other, –set)
You will be asked for your admin password since you’re using the sudo command. After the command is executed you can verify that the changes took place by typing:
