Oh Marcus, In my reply to WAMUG on 17/11/2016 Re: ERROR BEHAVIOUR OF NOTIFICATION CENTRE NC I specifically detailed the procedure to ‘ERASE & REINSTALL’ Sierra & ‘Perform Post-Installation Tasks and stated in RED ---- /Quote from my Reply: After your computer boots into mac OS Sierra 10.12 Perform Post-installation Tasks: A) Respond to Immediate Questions Among the most common questions are requests for your user account password or Apple ID password. For example, certain apps may once again need an administrator’s authorization to make changes to your data, and various apps that use your Apple ID (including iTunes and iBooks) may need you to sign in again.
Check System Preferences > iCloud to make sure you’re signed in to iCloud (and with the correct Apple ID). Do the same in iTunes (Account > View My Account) and the App Store (Store > View My Account). NOTE: Make sure “iCloud Drive” in NOT activated! (unless you wish to use it; you can set it up at a later date if needed) /End Quote from my Reply ---- I don’t know how I could have been clearer with warning you about iCloud Drive! You will now need to follow Peter’s advice to correct the situation.
