actually windows works great and has the best software library and drivers. everything works, and works better on Windows. CJs that CJ themselves into oblivion notwithstanding.

i have strong reservations about your judgement. unless, of course, you're doing "trolling"

i had a similar issue. basically both my Mac and iPhone decided to unauthorized iCloud Keychain at once, and since neither were authorized, neither could be used to authorize the other.

thankfully, the passwords are still there on the Mac, so it can be fixed.

i did a bunch of random crap, but i'm not sure anything i did actually fixed it and hitting "reset keychain" may have just worked without really resetting the keychain.

anyway take a breather, everything works. it sucks but it's not as bad as using windows everyday trust me.

but yeah timb needs to fix it.

yeah everything's back to normal now i think, except my airport password was stored in the lost keychain so i recently had to hard reset the airport because i didnt have admin access to it anymore.

i thought that was gonna be a pain in the rear end though because it was annoying setting up airport to use PPoE initially, but i was able to just "restore previous airport settings" and reset the password no prob. at least tim made that part easy on me.

still though, i'm never using my appleid to login to my machine EVER AGAIN.

i would imagine it's an old printer? look for the "made for iPhone" or "AirPrint" logo when you get a printer. I got one for under $100 canadian earth dollars. i think the majority have this now. but check to be sure.

i think this is a slightly different problem that i had. apple signed me out for security reasons. that's actually pretty cool that they could detect (falsely) a security breach and lock me out of my laptop. i think i reset my password with my phone and kept on trucking with no problem.

if i'm ever murdered i can RIP knowing no one will find my hentai.

on the other hand os x made me elevate 3 separate times to switch my boot partition starting with el capitan

or how many elevates it takes to change wifi settings since it shares wifi AP lists over icloud so I have to janitor saved networks across os x and ios so the ios device won't literally murder its own network stack
