[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1761392, member: 175845"] You've probably got some apps or software running that also wants to sync to any data you might have in iCloud or whatever it is that Apple now wants. I have such an app that I had to disable some of its functions as it was so annoying, and the cause seems to be that Apple is now, as of June 15th, insisting that a password needs to be setup or setup two-step-authorization. I'm sorry I don't have all the details handy. For example from one app I get: [I]Your iCloud password for [email]username@somewhere.ca[/email] is incorrect. If your Apple ID is using two-step verification you will need to create an app-specific password.[/I] and [I]"Fantastical, iCloud, and Two-Factor Authentication Apple requires an app-specific password for your iCloud account in order to use Fantastical. You can generate an app-specific password after you enable two-factor authentication on your iCloud account[/I]." Have fun sorting it out and you can thank Apple!!! Yet some more and other PITA security protection it seems. - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
