[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1833112, member: 38864"] Well another day, another round of hassles with Catalina. I was trying to upload a file to my user account on my wife's Mac mini and I kept getting prompted that Finder wanted to read that folder, was asked for a password, then it rejected the action anyway. I finally just got on it directly and immediately it starts on me with the looping "update your Apple ID" nonsense. Grrrr.... So to make a long story short... the looping problem for the Apple ID is reportedly solved by signing out of iCloud ([I]Overview[/I] tab in the [I]Apple ID[/I] preference pane), rebooting, and logging back in to iCloud. That seems to have worked here. The Sharing issue I resolved by disabling file sharing on my user account on the Mac mini; rebooted; then re-enabled it. I also deleted the Keychain entry that stored the login credentials for the Mac mini on my MacBook Air. In retrospect, all fairly basic troubleshooting steps that I never considered as far as the looping issue. I'm losing my touch. Well at least the sharing one I figured out myself. *grin* [/QUOTE]
