Hey guys,
been a few times i've left my mac pro unattended, and on return seen a dialog box popped up. I'm not sure what it is so i been clicking 'cancel' everytime.

Could you guys clarify what the window is actually trying to change?

Nothing showed up on my system-do you have the iCloud package installed? If so, it sounds like it is referring to the cloud syncing of documents in iCloud.

yea got full icloud updates and synced with iphone 4 running ios5. Might be service for iCloud syncing to mobile devices?
 
Today I had some weird things happen. I got a prompt saying my iCloud password was invalid. Later when I got home my email passwords had to be re-entered. I started using the laptop and noticed after a full charge I only had a few hours where it use to be 4-6+. The laptop was getting hot and the fans running go I looked at activity viewer and noticed a process called ubd was at 200%. I killed it then it came back to normal. I guess there are still some iCloud issues out there to be worked out.
