I also found a few incantations that involved terminal commands and careful sequencing of steps to try to force some iCloud process to “re-evaluate” but nothing has worked. I think I am vindicated now! (Though I am flummoxed as to how it does not affect my Mac mini!) I had told an Apple Senior Adviser previously that I thought the problem surely had to lie in iCloud itself but he told me I wasn’t correct in that assumption. After days spent setting it up as my primary computer (taking over from the MM) I realised the problem was back! And it is exactly the same. I sold the iPad Pro and bought an M1 MacBook Pro (now taking the MBP role in this story). Life (and iCloud) was great until the M1 Macs landed. I wiped and sold the laptop and bought an iPad Pro. After four months of no more than this (seemingly endless) basic troubleshooting and (seemingly endless) log collections, it was going nowhere and I gave up when Apple claimed they tried to contact me but my phone never rang. I even installed High Sierra (original OS for the laptop) and it was still there. It happened late in the Catalina beta cycle and never went away through all of the above machinations, most of which were at the direction of Apple Support/Engineering. I originally hit this problem with a 2016 MBP I bought refurbed in 2018. Selling the laptop and using an iPad for 6 months, then buying a completely new laptop that uses a different CPU and an OS you’ve never touched before does not fix it! Changing networks (wifi in multiple locations plus Ethernet at home), uninstalling VPNs, starting in Safe Mode, and booting off an external drive do not work. Turning iCloud Drive off for >24 hours then back on does not fix it. Turning iCloud Drive off and on does not fix it. Installing a different version of the OS does not fix it. Obviously the focus is entirely on the MBP.įormatting the SSD and reinstalling the OS does not fix it. Here’s the fun part where I tell you what I have already tried, or at least, what I know doesn’t work. I’ve even left it untouched for >24 hours and still nothing. And when it “fails”, it usually looks like it is constantly trying but it never actually gets anywhere. ![]() It seems the issue lies in the MBP sending data to iCloud. The successful syncing of any of the ones that work occurs in ~5 seconds to all devices. “Anywhere” includes iCloud Drive on the web (including on the MBP). Files can be created or modified anywhere except the MBP and they sync everywhere including to the MBP. Files can be deleted anywhere and sync everywhere. Folders can be created, changed, deleted anywhere and sync everywhere. If you change any of the bolded terms, it works fine. ICloud Drive works flawlessly, except: Any file that is created or modified on the MBP will not be synched up to the cloud. I have iCloud Drive turned on everywhere, and I have “Store Documents and Desktop in iCloud” turned on on both Macs. The Mac mini is on the latest Catalina version, the others are all on the latest current OSes, though as I will explain the releases are probably immaterial. I have a MacBook Pro (MBP), Mac mini (MM), iPad mini, and iPhone 11 Pro. ![]() I am hoping the clever hive mind here can suggest some things I haven’t tried. I’ll spare you the rant (well, mostly) that I’d love to make about trying to get Apple to sort it. ![]() I have an incredibly annoying iCloud problem that Apple seem incapable of fixing (if they’re even trying).
