 So no problems signing in to your iCloud Account on all four units - ie 2 
 iDevices & 2 computers.

 I don’t understand your above comment? 
 Are you in Photos.app on the MacBook Air? What option were you trying to 
 change?
 Is it asking for your MacBook Air User Account password?

Re: iCloud sign in

[Severin Crisp]

To clarify:-
I can sign in to iCloud on all 4 devices and my username and password 
are accepted on all.  
When viewing Settings/iCloud/Photos/Options on the MacAir and I  try to 
alter a setting, the setting is changed but asking for confirmatory PW it is 
rejected

Sorry I was not clear on this.
