My ipad has two names

I do not know how I did it, but my ipad has two names as far as my PC is concerned. Apparently in my initial zeal of getting my ipad set up (and the fact that it came "broken" and the "Geek Squad" had to restore it to "factory settings"), my ipad did not get a "name". Somewhere thereafter, when I tried syncing, it/itunes asked me for a name for my ipad....and so I did (Belles ipad")
SO, now my ipad has an "ipad" name and a "Belles ipad" name, as far as my PC is concerned. I think it was causing "issues" for awhile, but now when I sync, I make sure it is to "ipad". HOWEVER, when I finally got to a wifi connection (I live very rural, so that was a first...), and I downloaded books to the Kindle app, it downloaded to "Belles ipad"
Is this going to be an issue when I sync to my PC next time? How can I get back to one name for my ipad (how do I eliminate "Belles ipad")? I think I need to "register a new Kindle" on Amazon so that when I download more books, so that it all goes to "ipad". I do not want to loose the info on "Belles ipad"
Did that make any sense?
TIA

Don't know if it helps, but do you know you can change the iPad name in iTunes? From the list on the left, just double-click on the iPad name and you can change it to whatever you want.
Just an idea.

Why does my iPhone has two names?

My iPhone 4 has two different names .
One in My Computer where I enter to copy my photos from it to the my computer, and one in iTunes . Why is that?
I have attached a photo : http://s8.postimage.org/hjp36vb85/why.png

You don't understand. Look at the PHOTO . If I change it in iTunes, it only changes ther. In My Computer, where the photos are, it still says "ank"

My AirPort Express Has Two Names

No, it's not the title of a bad 50's sci-fi film... I recently did the paperclip reset to factory settings on my 5-year-old AX. When I went to set it up again using AirPort Utility, the device was found and given a new default name. The previous name was "Base Station ea9bd" or something like that. The new name it was automatically given after the factory reset was "John Doe's AirPort Express" (where "John Doe" is my account name). I proceeded to complete the setup to use it to print wirelessly (the only function I use it for). However, when I went into System Preferences>Print & Fax>Open Print Queue>Printer Setup, the location is listed as Base Station ea9bd. Again, everything works fine, but I thought that when I did the factory reset, the old base station name went away, and I expected that the location would now be John Doe's AirPort Express. How could the printer be hooked up to the old name and still be working if the AX now has a new name? What am I missing here?

ideas
buy one (or two) of those newer md031 airport extreme base stations as they have a higher power output.
ur post is implying 'join a wireless network' so i dont think limiting to 2.4ghz or 802.11b or 802.11g would help..
using 2.4 or 802.11b would help over distances, if ur creating a network and joining it then thats not an option
the airport has a couple settings like power output (make sure its set to 100%) or multicast rate that might be worth trying out. multicast set to low helps with clients joining at longer distances and multicast set to high kicks off clients at distances
put the aiprort express up high on the wall so it has a better chance of not being obstructed ?? and not on the bottom of the baseboard??

Try connecting the iPad to the computer that you do not want to WiFi sync with and uncheck the WiFi sync option in iTunes. Then click on Apply. Reboot the iPad and see if that does the trick.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Can two Apple IDs be linked so that they can share data? My iMac and iPad have the same Apple ID and sync contacts, bookmarks, etc. My wife's iPad has a different Apple ID. Can it be linked somehow to mine to share contacts etc?

No. You cannot link your contacts to hers. However, you can use Home Sharing to share the information:

Setting up Home Sharing for Apple TV (2nd & 3rd generation)
iTunes- Setting up Home Sharing on your computer

I get message "this ipad has not been backed up for two weeks..." It freezes on the screen, if I plug it in it does not let me shut it down and lock, it has virtually frozen my iPad, does not respond to cancel

I get a message on my wife's iPad " this iPad has nor been backed up,for two weeks, an iPad backs up when it is connected to wifi, locked, and charging". The message will not go away, hit cancel and it does nothing iPad is frozen on this screen. Plugged it in closed cover for a few hours, still frozen, what to do?

Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

The column name "PERNR" has two meanings. ABAP/4 Open SQL statement.

Hi All,
Could anyone advise on what are the error I encountered at below code.
I get the error in " The column name "PERNR" has two meanings. ABAP/4 Open SQL statement." . This errors happen to all the key fields I have selected in below code (eg: pernr, subty, objps, sprps, begda, endda, seqnr).
The field zeih also encountered error in "Unknown column name "ZEIH". not determined until runtime, you cannot specify a field list."
SELECT pernr
               subty
               objps
               sprps
               begda
               endda
              seqnr
              zlsch
              ZEIH
SELECT * INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS
          OF TABLE i_pa0009
          FROM pa0001 INNER JOIN pa0009
          ON pa0001pernr = pa0009pernr
          WHERE bukrs IN s_code AND
          banks NE space.

Hi,
In this query
SELECT pernr
subty
objps
sprps
begda
endda
seqnr
zlsch
ZEIH
if you have used joins and if both the database pa0001, pa0009 has the above mentioned fields you will get the error message as the control gets confused as to which table of the field you are referring to..., instead use them in this way
SELECT pa0001~pernr
for each field mention to which table it belongs and ~ before the field name in the above fashion, this will remove the error

No, I made sure nothing was checked for that section when i found out he could see my screen. At the top it says "computers on your local network can access your computer at: blah blah". I think thats how hes doing it but i dont know how to fix it.

My ipad has the message-This ipad hasn't been backed up in two weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wi-fi. I press ok and nothing happens. I have it locked, plugged into wall, and conected to wi-fi.

Go to Settings, iCloud, and then Storage and Backup. You will then see a button to backup your iPad. It may be that you have much stuff (i.e. photos, apps) for it to do a full backup but you will be able to tell what the estimated backup should be and what it will consist of so that you can choose to prune down items. If you don't want to backup and get rid of the messages you can just turn backup off from this area as well.

Make an appointment with the Genius Bar at your Apple Store. If they determine there is an issue with your iPad, it will be replaced.
