I've been getting a persistent dialogue box that advises:
"This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with "email address" (User Name)
Open iCloud preferences to fix this problem."
Two buttons are offered: "Later" and "iCloud Preferences".
If I click on iCloud Preferences, I am asked to enter my Apple ID Password. However, iCloud does not recognize my Apple ID Password (even though all other Apple outlets like the App Store and iTunes seem to know it).
It's then suggested that I could change my password but I am not about to do so as iCloud appears not to talk to other Apple places. So, as I don't use iCloud anyway, I'd just as soon rid myself of any iCloud interference.
I could do that by clicking on the button: "Sign Out"….but iCloud then issues the threat:
"If you stop using iCloud for Calendars and Reminders, calendars and reminders stored in iCloud will be erased from this Mac.
Your calendars and reminders will still be available on other devices using iCloud."
There is a button: Delete from Mac
Assuming that, by other devices, Apple includes Time Machine and Super Duper backups I'd like to hit that delete button and get rid of iCloud once and for all. I am also assuming that, when I hit the delete button, my Super Duper and Time Machine backups should be turned off.
If I'm correct about the last paragraph, what's the correct process to restore my Calendars and Reminders?
