“iCloud and iMessage accounts do not match" error I have an iPhone and iPad with latest versions of iOS. I’ve noticed that iMessages between devices are not syncing and when I tried signing out of iMessage on both devices I get “iCloud and iMessage accounts do not match" error. I am for a fact signed in on both devices with the same user name and all settings the exact same between devices. Any ideas? I have turned iMessage off and on both devices, signed out and in and both devices and restarted both.

MacOS - frequent "security settings verification required" "confirm Mac password" and "Some iCloud data isn't syncing" messages My Mac is frequently asking for password verification - pretty much constantly. I have upgraded the OS to 15.0, and changed the Mac password however the requests prevail. This was happening prior to MacOS 15.0 but not as frequently. It's pretty much constant now. I had previously noted that there were sync problems on iMessage, and it would take a while for iPhone messages to be replicated to the Mac. Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this? There are an iPhone and an iPad on the same iCloud account - both on the latest OS. I can't find any troubleshooting guide, although a Google search indicates that others are having the same problem.

Sign in to iMessage with Apple ID I can’t sign into iMessage with Apple ID. I get the message “An unknown error occurred.” I have tried rebooting but I get the same error.
