Computer name confusion All the Preference settings show the proper computer name. However, when I connect with AirDrop, the name that appears is "Test". To make matters worse, I've decided to try the Mail app (rather than Gmail web) and the mail app lists my name as "test". I've checked everything through the Preference apps (Apple and Mail) and through Terminal. They all show the correct name. This is on Monterey 12.0.1. How do I get rid of "test"?
