AirDrop always shows the same person on all devices!

Hello all gurus,
I started AirDrop on my 3 Apple devices: a MacBookPro, iPhone 6 and iPad 3. This works almost as expected a big detail about:
Each unit, when he shows me another device to transmit a file: it is named by my wife name (a regular entry in the Address Book) with his thumbnail photo ...
So, I do not even know with which device I will communicate!
When there are two devices "connected", he writes in gray below my wife name the device type: Macbook or iPhone for example ...
I do not know if this behavior is correct... If yes, how "affect" an address book user to a device for it to be the name and thumbnail that appears to other AirDrop users on my network?
Thank you very much in advance for your answers ...

EarthLink is a POP account. If you want your mail in sync across devices you need to switch to an IMAP account like iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook.com. All of these offer free accounts.

  • Album artwork on Apple TV is incorrect..always shows the same album for all. How do I change this?

    I have a 2nd Gen Apple TV and stream my music to Apple TV in my home.
    Lately, the artwork for ALL of my music shows the artwork of 1 album cover.
    How can I fix this so each album displays the correct artwork.

    You'll need to restore your phone from the latest backup you made before he synced his phone.
    To check if there is still a backup you can use, do this:
    Open iTunes Preferences:
    Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
    Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
    Click Devices (the iOS device doesn't need to be connected).
    iTunes will show the phone number, IMEI, and serial number of the backed up iPhone when you position your mouse pointer over a backup (iTunes shows only the serial number for iPad and iPod touch). You can use this to find the backup you want to use.
    Then restore from that backup by following this article:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    Do the same with his device after that, using his old backup.
    If you can't find one, set it up as new device without using any backup.

  • Sub Report in Table, always showing the same data

    I created a main report with data from a dataset. The DataSet has a column: @Region_ID. The Main Report is Page-Grouped by this @Region_ID and shows a tablix with some datarows foreach region. 
    I now want to include a subreport into the table and pass the parameter @region_ID to the subreport, which also calls a procedure including the passed @region_ID. I set the @region_ID-Parameter to "always refresh"
    I added a textbox on the subreport to display the values which has been passed to the subreport. 
    I now have a multipage report, with a page for every region. The subreport displays various @region_ids in the textbox, but the data for the subreport itsself, shows the same data on every page. It seems like it has called the procedure only once, with the
    first @region_id, and now displays this data on every page, allthough it does not match.
    Any suggestions what I did wrong?

    Hi tkrasinger,
    According to your description, you have the issues on displaying the parameter in subreport. It only shows the first value of the parameters. Right?
    In Reporting Services, when we execute a procedure with parameter, this procedure will only be executed one time. This is the reason why it shows the same value in your subreport.
    In this scenario, we can just right click on the textbox of region_id, go to
    Texobox Properties -> Action -> Go to report. Select the subreport, add the region_id as parameter in
    Use these parameters to run the Report. When you click on the textbox, the region_id will be passed to the subreport. So that the value will be displayed dynamically in the subreport. 
    Reference:
    Add a Subreport and Parameters (Report Builder and SSRS)
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
    Best Regards,
    Simon Hou

  • CC the same person in all new compositions

    I always want to CC my partner all my outgoing email. Can I use rules or applescript or automator or ANYTHING(!) to automatically CC her? I know I can CC myself, but she needs to be in the loop. I'm tired of CCing her everytime.

    Welcome to the discussions.
    Have a look at this page which details how to add a receipt-request header to outgoing mail. In the example he demonstrates how to do what you want, except bcc rather than cc. Mind you, I think this would be better done as a bcc header. Note that this change will affect every outgoing mail, and can't be turned off without reversing the process.

  • Why do you have to buy the same app on all devices?

    If you have multiple apple products like iphone, ipad, mac..ect. I understand the different versions of the OS but still, I would think they'd have a bundle price or something. I've had to rebuy the same apps over and over. Is there any way around this?

    Some apps are universal, most are not.
    As provided, these are entirely different platforms.
    Just as you would have to buy a movie twice of you wanted to watch it on a dvd player and a vcr.
    You would have to buy the same video game twice if you wanted to play on a Wii and a playstation.

  • HT204053 I want to change my apple id on the ipad to use the same id on all devices but how?

    How do I change apple ID on a device such as iPad or iPhone?

    Go to "Settings > iCloud" and delete your current account that you do not want to use.
    After that you have the ability to sign in with another Apple ID/iCloud account. Just go to "Setting > iCloud" again and sign in.

  • Thunderbird is showing the same email no matter which email I click on.

    When I open Thunderbird it always shows the same old email no matter which email I click on to the right. I can only go back directly to the email provider to read my email. Is that a bug in Thunderbird or is it virus?

    Select the folder, right-click, select Properties then Repair Folder.

  • From one of my yahoo groups all the messages come thru appearing from the same person. Why is this?

    I belong to several yahoo groups and use the filters to send them to their respective folders. Lately with one group, all the messages appear to be from the same person, which I know is not true from looking internally. I've looked on my providers site at my email, at at the groups site, they are that way so it's happening when it comes into Thunderbird. Running version 24.6.0.
    Thanks Dwight from WI

    They aren't in the address book. Anyway I went into the config editor and set something to false and it took care of the problem. Don't remember what it was. Something with "Show" in it.
    Thanks for your time!

  • Payments from customers all show the same name

    I sell a number of products daily and the FROM part all say the Paypal payments are from the same person. The name is from one of my customers. How do I stop this from reoccuring. I don't want to delete all my emails. Any tips would help. Thank you.

    Delete the paypal address from the address book as Thunderbird is using the name associated with that entry.
    Alternatively disable the use of Display names from the address book.
    Tools menu (Alt+T) > Options > Advanced > Reading and display
    Deselect the Show display names checkbox

  • Hi. My husband and I have always shared the same iTunes account.  Since installing iCloud, all our contacts and calenders have merged on our iPhone 4, which we do not want.  How do I rectify this? Does my husband need to set up his own apple ID?

    Hi. My husband and I have always shared the same iTunes account.  Since installing iCloud, all our contacts and calenders have merged on our iPhone 4, which we do not want.  How do I rectify this? Does my husband need to set up his own apple ID?  If so, where do I need to change his email address info, so that his calender and contacts remain his?  Thank you

    You can continue to use the current AppleID for iTunes, but your husband can create a new AppleID to use to create a new iCloud account that will be his own and not overlap with yours.  If you do not have another email address to use for an AppleID, just get a free Gmail account and use that.
    You can have as many AppleIDs as you want (or at least, as many as you have email addresses for).  You can use a separate AppleID for the store, another for iCloud, and even another for iMessage if you wish.
    You will want to keep the current one as the shared one for the store as all your previous purchases are permanently tied to it, and thus you need that AppleID to update or redownload your current purchased content.
