Apple ID - Update in settings

[D1G1TALR0B0T]

Since upgrading to Catalina yesterday under settings -> Apple ID it displays the message:
"Some account services will not be available until you sign in again."

I can sign in and the message will disappear, however it will always come back asking me to sign in again.

Is there a solution for this?

It’s no help to your situation but I’ve also got this same issue on two machines ??‍♂️

 

[anthonymoody]

Same issue.

Had this problem on two iMac machines also. Completely resetting the keychain resolved it for me, but this is a pain in the a**.

YIKES. I hate the nuclear option. I'm going to suffer the consequences for a few days and hope for a fix...

 

[JMountainDew]

Yep, same issue here. Would rather not have to reset keychain if possible.

It keeps asking because system doesn't know how to verify for two-factor authentication from that window. I signed out completely and re-sign in and it ask for two factor code. Problem went away. This seems like a big oversight from Apple's part.

Yup - logged out and back in, and when I did it prompted me for my iPad passcode and now all seems back to normal.

hi when you logged out of Apple Icloud did you keep everything on the computer or remove everything?

thanks

I told it to remove everything because otherwise the archive takes forever. No issues finding anything when I logged back in because it's all in the (i)cloud.

For me i chose remove everything because when I log back in I don't want duplicate contacts or calender and I know everything is in the cloud. But if you have some items that are locally stored and I'm not sure if you select remove everything option they will get deleted or not.

I'll echo the statement that signing out of iCloud, restarting, then signing back in solved the problem for me.
I didn't choose to keep all my files because I didn't feel like waiting.

I didn't even restart. Just logged out and back in.

I have the same issue I was not sure if I needed to delete everything or keep everything I guess I’ll have a delete everything and just re-download from the cloud

Tried that. Now, the Apple ID in System Preferences just hangs.

I did the same and it seems to have fixed it.

Sorry for the following dumb question, but when I started logging out of iCloud, it prompted me to create a desktop folder of all sorts of things that were going to be deleted by me logging out. That scared me. Did you have to do that?

Ooops... I didn't read the above responses. It still makes me nervous logging out and deleting everything. My desktop items are in iCloud. I don't want to lose them

 

[Super Spartan]

Didn't have this issue, this was a clean install on a brand new MacBook Pro, I simply activated KeyChain first on my iPhone then activated it on my laptop and that was that.

 

[markgpearse]

Logging out and logging back in worked. However, when my desktop items, which were deleted when I logged out, showed back up on my desktop, the icon size was larger. Obviously not a problem, but odd what happens sometime.

Ah so this is when you log out and you choose to keep everything on the computer it prompts to create a folder, or when you choose to delete everything?

I logged out of iCloud. Chose not to download a copy of everything in iCloud to a special desktop folder. After I logged out, everything was deleted from my desktop and my documents folder. Everything remained in iClouds. I logged back in and was able to get everything back on my desktop and in my documents folder as it was all in iCloud. When I logged back in had to set up some iCloud related stuff. At the end of all that the AppleID went away and I no longer have the notification issue.

On a scale of 1 - 10 in terms of tech proficiency I would say I am a solid 7. I feel sorry for people who are 4 - 5s, which is probably the majority of people.

Try signing into iCloud on Safari, then sign back out. Have no idea how this helps but it corrected this issue on my 2015 MBP.

Thank you! this worked for me for both, Catalina on my iMac as well as iOS 13 on my iPad.

Nope because I didn't choose to keep local copies. Someone explained this process earlier.

Same problem here: Three Macs with 2-3 user accounts (+ 1 admin account each). All upgraded from Mojave to Catalina. I use for specific reasons the same Apple ID in all accounts. Worked fine under Mojave.

After also having the problem described and reading the solutions above and elsewhere, I removed ALL Apple ID and ALL iCloud settings on ALL Macs for ALL accounts. Then I rebooted each machine and started to setup the Apple ID's for the different accounts. Looked all perfectly fine. Now - after a day or so - the message "Update Apple ID settings" keeps coming back on all accounts on all Macs. Pretty annoying.

Is there any information which services may not be available (until you sign in again)? I'm mainly using Contacts, calendar, purchases, find my Mac. So if these are not affected, I may just ignore that message for the time being. .....
