[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1604730"] Alright, just to find out I just went into System Preferences/iCloud and de-selected one of the sync'd items. I was prompted for a system administrator's password, which is my login (I'm an administrator on my system). So, it's not your AppleID, it's your OSX login password iCloud seems to want to make changes. If you don't have your system set up to make you log in (and that's a very bad practice, by the way), you'll need put in that login request box your login name and password that you gave way back when you created your account when you first got your Mac. If you don't remember that password, there may be ways to reset it, but I'm not the person to ask how to do that, sorry. I don't know. But if you DO remember what you gave as password back then, put it in now and you should be able to disable iCloud. BTW, the password you give to allow software to install is the same password you can use here. [/QUOTE]
