What security settings on my MacBook Air can I check on(and where in Ventura 13.0.1)to correct this issue of Apple Pay being disabled?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.0
Hello IndianaFred,
Are you receiving the following error: "Apple Pay has been disabled because the security settings of this Mac were modified."
If so, the steps on this page should help to get that resolved: If Apple Pay on your Mac is turned off because security settings were modified - Apple Support
Check security settings
If you're using a Mac with the Apple T2 Security Chip, Apple Pay requires the highest level of startup security. If you lowered your Secure Boot setting, use Startup Security Utility to raise it to full security.
Check for the latest software updates
For the strongest security, install the latest Apple software updates.
To make sure that you always get important security updates promptly, keep the “Install system data files and security updates” setting enabled in Software Update preferences:
1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Software Update.
2. Click the Advanced button.
3. Select “Install system data files and security updates.”
Security updates help make your Mac more secure by identifying malicious software and preventing its installation. When you restart your Mac, they also remove any malicious software that is already installed and identified.
If you still get the same Apple Pay alert after installing all available software updates and restarting your Mac, contact Apple Support for help.
As the page notes, if you still get that error after trying the steps, the best path forward will be to reach out to Apple Support here: Apple Support
Cheers.
Thanks, Barney-15E I don't believe I did although it may be caused by an app called CleanMyMac X which also prevents malware.
CleanMyMac X which also prevents malware.
No, it doesn’t. macOS prevents malware. Brick,MyMac just causes problems.
