can't log in on my macbook pro

Hello,

I have an older macbook pro( late 2013) with Catalina.

Suddenly I can't sign in with my apple id anymore. I made no update and even didn't sign out.

Any ideas? Or is this just the end of macs with Catalina ???

Your Mac user account is your login user name to your MacBook Air.

See the following Apple articles:

BTW:

You are sign in here .  .  .  with your Apple ID & Password.

Your Apple ID is the personal account you use with all Apple products and services. It includes the email address and password you use to sign in, as well as the contact, payment, and security details that you use with Apple.

You can’t merge multiple Apple ID accounts.

What happens when you use the same Apple ID & Password that you use to sign in here?

Hey Raicya,

thanks for the explanation. Sorry I maybe didn’t describe it correctly.

For sure I have a sign in account with my password.

That’s all fine.

i just can’t sign in to iCloud anymore with my Apple ID and password. It works in the browser and on my phone but not with the MacBook. So FaceTime or our gmail Mail account for example doesn’t work…
