I am the owner and administrator of my 2020 MacBook Air but, for some reason, I am no longer considered the owner and unable to update software. How do I reestablish myself as the electronic or virtual owner?
Why do you think that is the case?
Please explain what's happening.
My Macbook Owner designation no longer exists
