Lately I've been getting an "apple wants to make changes" prompt asking for my password. Is this Apple or someone hacking me?
iMac, macOS Sierra (10.12.6), 3.06 gh, Intel Core i3
Thank you for your reply. Here's the prompt that came up again this morning. The user name is filled in, I changed to XXs, and the password is blank. It just appears randomly, it was about 9:15 this morning while reading mail, computer had been on all night. Late 2017 iMac running Sierra 10.12.6. iPhone 6s was attached charging. Do not have iCloud upgrade and iPhone backup has been failing for a few weeks, not enough free space. 500G available on iMac. Other than this, everything seems pretty healthy.
Thank you so much for your help! It looks like it worked! If it didn't I'll be back!
Thanks again,
Krista
Thanks for the quick response!
When I hold down Command + R key it is just refreshing the page or nothing happens. Is there another way to access that Disk Utility?
You hold down those keys when you startup your Mac and keep them held down until the Apple icon and progress bar appear.
People have approached Apple Support with this issue and were told to install and run anti-virus/malware software. It's worked for some.
