Thanks Daniel I think I did that, sorry I didn’t add that to the list; it’s been a trial. I might not have turned the computer off whilst signed out of iCloud so will try that another day. iCloud seems to be working despite me needing to agree to the T & C.
There is a popup that flashes up far too quick to read, but some clever people have done a screen recording with Quicktime and have been able to freeze frame it. The message says “Server Error iCloud could not be activated because of a server error. Please try again.” Regards Tim > On 23 Jan 2023, at 8:10 pm, Daniel Kerr via WAMUG <wa...@lists.wamug.org.au> > wrote: > > Hi Tim > > I’ve had that before also.
