Purchased refurbished imac 2013 and transferred files from Time Machine. All good, apart from "Missing_Title" appearing in system settings with the number 1 in a red disc next to it. Updated the operating system to Sequ0ia v15.0.1 but the "missing_title" entry still appears! Have rebooted and unplugged power and still no joy! Any clues?
iMac, OS X 10.11
Contacted Apple Support, after trying several different options, logging out of my apple account and back in resolved the issue. The "Missing_Title" was due to a sync issue with my new mac and my apple account.

Restart in Safe Mode followed by a normal Restart and then check to see if it is gone.
Sadly buying a used or refurbished Mac that was not properly prepared for resale, is nothing but trouble.

A 2013 iMac is obsolete and can only run up to macOS 10.15 Catalina.

The red number 1 means there is a software update.
As noted, a 2013 iMac does not support Sequoia.
Well then, that drastically changes the response.
The red number 1 means there is a software update available.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by missing Title...?
FWIW an Apple Refurbished Mac has the same Support Coverage as a new Mac.
Hi, so, there are no software updates available when I select "software update" under "general" in "system settings". Opening system settings, I get an entry in the left hand column, between my Apple Account name an picture and WiFi. I've attached a screen shot, hopefully this helps.
Sorry, typo's in my entry. This is a 2023 iMac from Apple from their refurbished stock, I would hope they know how to refurbish their machines!
