Hi folks,

I think I know the answer but hoping there's a different one;)

Updated my Mac Mini M1 to 12.4 and now it's nagging me to accept the new T&C for iCloud. Problem is that it won't accept I've clicked ok, I just go back to the window saying I need to accept them.

The obvious thing to do is sign out and sign in but when I've done this before I got asked about deleting local files and data (eg Photos), said 'no, keep them' then ended up with many duplicates of things. It was probably a few years ago so I'm being paranoid but it was an absolute disaster to resolve. If I say to delete local data – which I've also done – it took days to redownload everything.

Anything else to try to stop the nagging?...

Cheers,

Jason

Do you not have to scroll all the way down and before the OK button works?

yes, I've done that about 17 times. I even did it really slowly in case it was checking I was actually reading;)

Cheers,

I gave up and signed out, then back in and haven't dared open Photos. It did give me a stupid error about using iCloud photos, saying the disk wasn't formatted correctly (it is) then I realised it was still running. Quitting Photos allowed it to work (just in case anyone else encounters this...)
