I get this popup message whenever I start the computer. Sometimes I get it when I start the Opera browser too. I'm not even sure what iCloud is, but it's not jiving with my email account for some reason. What I don't like about the popup is that slows the start up procedure. Any ideas on how to get rid of the popup? The OS is El Capitan 10.11.6

It isn't obvious, uncheck iCloud.

Why are you overpaying for hardware in the first place?

I unchecked iCloud. Thanks, I'll try that. This computer is a 2007 MacBook Pro. My late great brother gave it to me. I like the Mac operating software. I don't know why Macs are so popular with liberals, but I'm not one of them.

My main issue is upgrading. You'll be locked out of the latest OS. You can probably put Linux on it.

With people.

No need to put people in boxes on this one.

I started the computer up this evening with the iCloud box unchecked. I still got the popup message. The computer seems to be starting up just fine, but there is a very long delay in launching the Opera browser. After the browser finally loads, then the popup message is displayed. I might have to take this computer to a Mac specialist.
