Apple ID "verification failed, an unknown error occurred"
Hi,
Recently I have been signed out of my Apple ID on my MacBook Air. For some reason I haven't been able to sign back in on my MacBook even when using the correct email and password - I always end up with a message saying "Verification failed - an unknown error occurred".
As you can imagine this is very frustrating and I have tried various solutions that I have googled with people posting about how they fix this issue on the iPhone but never a MacBook.
My Apple ID is the same for both my iPhone and MacBook, and so the strange thing is that it is working perfectly on my iPhone but will not sign into my MacBook - preventing me from allowing any app updates or using all the features in a MacBook linked to Apple ID (Mail, FaceTime, Photos etc.)
I am able to also sign into my iCloud using the safari browser, but not my MacBook itself - therefore it must be an issue with my MacBook and not the Apple ID account.
Does anyone know how I can fix this issue and what this 'unknown error' might be???
Thanks
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.1
