Annoying Update message on settings

Just updated from 13.1 to Ventura 13.2 this morning Tuesday Jan 24, 2022 on 2 Apple M- Class computers

The same " update my account to continue to use iCloud " reappeared as did a secondary alert related to " New Term and Condition of iCloud. "

Used my Computer Password and presto, both disappeared there after and not returning

Hello welshwhizz,

Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. To see if you can update the Apple ID in System Settings, we suggest to restart your Mac in safe mode. This helps to verify the startup disk, delete some system caches and more. Once you're in safe mode, let's see if you can update the Apple ID account. Then you can restart the Mac as normal and see if that helps remove the notification you're seeing. If needed, here's how to restart a Mac in safe mode:

Start up your Mac with Apple silicon in safe mode

1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > Shut Down.

Wait for your Mac to shut down completely. A Mac is completely shut down when the screen is black and any lights (including in the Touch Bar) are off.

2. Press and hold the power button on your Mac until “Loading startup options” appears.

3. Select a volume.

4. Press and hold the Shift key, then click Continue in Safe Mode.

The computer restarts automatically. When the login window appears, you should see “Safe Boot” in the menu bar.

Start up your Intel-based Mac in safe mode

1. Turn on or restart your Mac, then immediately press and hold the Shift key until you see the login window.

2. Log in to your Mac.

3. You might be asked to log in again.

On either the first or second login window, you should see “Safe Boot” in the menu bar.

These steps are outlined in this helpful article: Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support

Kind regards.

Has the User added a New Device to the mix of Computer, iPhones or iPads they use ?

This pertains to the iCloud Aspect Only.

I added a new M2 MBA on Friday past running Ventura like the other 2 Computers and 1 iPhone running iOS 16.3.

The annoying iCloud Alert was presented on all other devices.

As for Apple Store issue

1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.

2 - Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drivers from loading. It will only load the Minimum amount of Core Apple Processes to allow the the computer to function at a reduced Level of Performance 

3 - Does the issue present in this mode ?

4 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.

If the user whats the latest and greatest versions of macOS  all is not lost.

Explore the Apple Trade-In  Process where the Value of the exiting device could be used against the cost of a new Apple Computer, iPhone or iPad  

Or Shop Refurbished Apple computers at an Apple Reduced Cost

Have used both previously and have been satisfied each time.

Actually, just finished trading in Old M1 MBA for the new M2 MBA and receive a few $$ against the cost of the 512 GB SSD / 16 GB RAM machine and it flys

Yup received 1 of these on Saturday or Sunday regarding " update my account to continue to use iCloud. "

Out of the Blue and for no real reasons AFAIK.

In my specific case - it did not required the Apple ID Password but rather the Computer Password

To be honest, I first input my Apple ID Password and was presented with the No Go type of error.

Then realized that was not the issue but computer password and presto - no more issues.

Having similar issue with Catalina 10.5.7. Unable to upgrade to Ventura due to a pre 2017 model. I continue to reply and add my Apple ID to the requests but they keep coming up. I haven't noticed any problem with software access yet, but it's just annoying having the notices constantly appearing.

OK, I understand this. It says I have a Late 2013 iOS on one of my iMac's. I have downloaded the latest Catalina software upgrade, or at least it says I'm up to date. Does this mean I'll just have to live with the annoying request for now?

I also have a note that there is an update in the App Store, however I can't get it to open up. The search window remains blank. No access to the App Store, latest upgrade possible, looks like it's going the way of my iPad mini.

:-(

Thank you too 👍
