Missing Apple Account in the System Settings on MacBook Air

When I open System Setting I cannot see Apple ID, or my name displayed, or a sign in option. Also, nothing opens when I click on iCloud.

Try to boot your Mac in the safe mode to see if the issues persist


Start up your Mac with Apple silicon in safe mode

  1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > Shut Down.
  2. Wait for your Mac to shut down completely. A Mac is completely shut down when the screen is black and any lights (including in the Touch Bar) are off.
  3. Press and hold the power button on your Mac until “Loading startup options” appears.
  4. Select a volume.
  5. Press and hold the Shift key, then click Continue in Safe Mode.
  6. The computer restarts automatically. When the login window appears, you should see “Safe Boot” in the menu bar.
