icloud data isn't syncing after sequoia update

AND whO at APPLE is looking at these issues? IT HAPPENS literally EVERY update. The last one, I had to simply take the Sonoma update OFF my computer. It just wouldn't work. I was so out of date on my OS I had to take this one and update Chrome too, or stuff wouldn't work. My computer is a 2019 iMac

I'm having the same issue on a 2020 M1 MBP...

Signing out and signing back into my iCloud account also worked for me.

Just started having this issue on my 2020 Intel MBP after the Sequoia update. MacOS keeps asking for my MBP password to restart sync and verify my security settings. This was annoying in the previous MacOS versions but this is a new level of core functionality disruption for Apple.

I was able to resolved it by signing out of my apple account and re login

Removing my iCloud account and signing back in worked for me too.

Having similar issues - Any apps using iCloud Drive seem to only sync intermittently. Some are apps I develop, but also getting problems with Notes, Photos and iMessage. Seems that one starts working, another stops.

same here. I can see everything on my desktop, but when I try to attach things to emails, or open files, I see and empty clud sitting next to the file name. Where can I see what's happening with cloud???

Hi, do you mean signing out of iCloud through a different device ? I have the same issue described above but cannot even access iCloud on this MBP anymore so if it gets resolved by signing out on any other device I’ll try that. Thanks

Sequoia update 15.1.1 knocked out all my documents on my Mac Mini (M-2) and from the iCloud. Also changed settings, e.g. syncing Documents to iCloud and others. External back-up also seems to have been affected. At this stage, am at a loss how to get my documents back and would be grateful for some solid advice.

I am also facing the same problem in my macbook pro after sequoia install cloud data sync has stopped and it is not accepting my mac password and just keeps

asking for it ..very frustrating

Having the exact same issue on my M1 MBA with Sequoia 15.0.1. Started last night, won't take my password and keeps asking for it.

I think it's just a bug, because all my data is syncing across devices (Notes, passwords, contacts, Drive, etc.). Signing out of iCloud is so inconvenient though.

Hi, @I5SUser, did you mean sign out of iCloud on another device? Thank you.
