Are you seeing this during the initial setup phase, or after you have migrated your data from an older device? If the former, I would suggest contacting Apple Support directly for assistance as this should not be happening with a brand new notebook. You can do so by simply selecting the Get Support link in the upper right-hand side of this forum's web page.


Also, if this notebook is within the 14 days of purchase, you can return it for a full refund or replacement.

thank you , i followed the set up instructions and data migration, only had it 7 days! never been able to access the apple id app store etc, thinking of erasing all and re set up from scratch & not data migrate from previous laptop, as some data may have corrupted? see if that fixes issue? i have moved all required files to external hard drive so nothing lost.
