Is your Apple ID legit?

I’m using it on my iMac and it’s working fine, how could it not be legit?

Apple does not recognize your Apple ID on that computer.

It is either reinstall or call Apple about your problem. Alternatively, maybe you picked up a virus that is causing the problem.

A virus? Is there such a thing for the Macs?

 

[madrich]

Yup!

 

[zoran]

Like which ones? And are there antivirus apps around?

There are no viruses in the wild that can infect a Mac. Malware yes, viruses no. Run an anti-malware program such as Malwarebytes. You don't need an anti-virus program.
