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

Maybe just click Sign Out. If you really want to continue using this, create a new iCloud account (free) and log your computer into that (and DO NOT post a screenshot). Also don't enable two-factor authentication because that will cause problems with an older OS like this.

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.
