Apple ID verification I am trying to update some apps I’ve installed, however, apple always ask for a verification code. So I enter my password and then it says a verification code has been sent to “my iPad”, but I don’t have any other device connected to the Apple ID that I’m using. I do however use to have an iPad but it is not included in the trusted device list. What’s gone wrong and how can I fix this?

Using this Computer with TFA:

You can't. So enable Two-Factor Authentication(TFA) on the iMac.

Go Here: Two-Factor Authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support
Scroll to: Turn on two-factor authentication on your Mac
Proceed form there as necessary

See if anything here helps. If necessary, you can use account recovery as explained in the link at bottom of the article.
