iPad Name Keeps Changing
I noticed a while back that the name of my iPad somehow became "Unknown Host". So I changed it in General > Settings to iPad. Didn't think anything else about it for the most part. On one occasion, I checked back in and found the name to be iPad (2). Today I noticed it was iPad (4). What in the world is going on? I've looked everywhere I can think of--associated with my AppleID, iCloud ID, and backup listings--and can find no reason why the name keeps changing. Any ideas?
