Airdrop sending to multiple devices instead of the one selected I'm using AirDrop to send 6 pics from my iPhone to my MacBook, but when I select it from the lost of available devices, the photos are also sent to my work Mac Mini! However, if I chose to send to my Mac Mini instead, the photos aren't sent to my Macbook... Why are the pics being sent to a device that hasn't been selected?
