Strange iMac behavior

Hi there,

I'm having a variety of strange behavior on my iMac (hardware overview pasted below). I've tried most normal troubleshooting measures with no luck. All hardware is up to date. I've also reached out to the individual app developers, again with no luck. All of these things I can do on my MacBookPro with no issue.

These are the big issues I have right now -

1. Skyfonts app won't allow sign in. I have a current, active subscription to both Myfonts.com and Fonts.com. Neither will allow me to sign in on my iMac, although I have the correct passwords. I am able to sign in with no issue on my laptop. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the app several times, changing passwords, etc.

2. I'm trying to install a program (Craft Manager from Invision). After unzipping the download file, it won't open. I double click on the app, and the first time, I get the warning about it being an app downloaded from the internet. After confirming that I do want to open it, nothing happens. Subsequent clicks do nothing except the little flash of the app that would indicate opening. There's no trace of the app working in the Activity Monitor or when opening the Force Quit menu. This happens from the download folder, desktop and applications folder. It opens with no issue on my laptop.

Smaller issues, not sure if they're related (seems like it all might be some kind of permissions issue) -

When using Airdrop from my iPad, it drops automatically to my laptop, asks for permission each time on iMac.

Messages on iMac only show iMessages, no regular text messages or messages from numbers not in contacts, though they do on my MacBook.

I've tried using Migration Assistant to copy the system settings from my laptop to iMac, running First Aid on the disk utility, scanned for malware, started in safe mode and can't get anything to work.

Any ideas? I'm comfortable working in the command line, feel free to suggest advanced fixes or checks!

Thanks!!!!
