ICloud drive not syncing on yosemite

So I use iCloud drive quite extensively across my iPhone, iPad, mac and iCloud.com.
All devices (including iCloud.com) always seem to be kept in sync, except my mac. I'll find files that are more than 24 hours out of sync with the rest of my devices.
Any thoughts?

Did this recently start happening? I use the same devices and starting this past weekend, experienced the same issue.
Last night, I disabled iCloud Drive on my Mac and re-enabled it and that was a big mistake, as on my Mac iCloud drive has been "setting up iCloud Drive..." for the last 12 hours. For me, iCloud has worked perfectly until his past Saturday.
If I open Keynote, I can see document, but they all look like this (iCloud waiting to download)
For an experiment, I disabled iCloud Drive and re-enabled on my iPhone and now it has been stuck at updating for the last 12 hours:
If I look in my router's client list, I can see there is no activity from my iPhone or iMac, so it appears to be waiting on iCloud.
One last experiment, I update a presentation on my iPhone and it immediately gets uploaded to iCloud, so this appears to only be a download issue.

ICloud Drive not syncing photos before 2013 to iPhone 5 -

My iCloud Drive ios 8, not syncing propenly with Windows 7 laptop. Storage fine on iCloud, but iPhone and iPad 5 only receiving photos back to 2013, photos before 2013, in same Windows laptop folder, not appearing on phone or pad.

Double check this thread, especially the last few pages, this is impacting many people:

Why is iCloud drive not showing all my folders?

Greetings and Salutations,
Upgraded everything to ios8 on the iPad, and to Yosemite on the iMac and Macbook Pro. I bought 200gb of iCloud Drive storage and then moved what was on an external drive to the iCloud drive on my iMac. No problem. Then I go to the Macbook Pro, open the iCloud Drive and what do you know? Only about half of the folders and documents are showing up! Same thing on the is iPhone 6 and the iPad 2 with iOS 8.
Anyone else having this issue with iCloud Drive not syncing correctly? Appreciate the help!

Again, my issues were limited to the iPad.
In Settings/iCloud I signed out of my iCloud account. It asks you a couple of times about what data you want kept on your iPad. I chose to delete everything to give a clean slate. (You might want to opt to keep stuff depending on your situation.) It will also remove your device from Find My Phone if you use it.
I then turned off the iPad, waited 10 secs, and re-booted it. I then went back into Settings/iCloud and signed into my iCloud account. It then verified my account (it took a while to do this), and I went into Numbers to check that it had access to my iCloud Drive. It may have been that Apple's servers were really busy last night but it did take a while for all my documents to be available in Numbers, Pages, etc. It wasn't instantaneous but the apps were telling me that things were being updated so I left it to it. All fine now.
You could also do the same steps in OS X System Preferences/iCloud.

ICloud Drive Not Finding Latest Revision

Is anyone else having issues with iCloud Drive not pulling updated versions of Numbers files?
It's getting to the point where the service is so friggin' unreliable that I have to check every single file on my iPhone prior to using it on my Macbook because iCloud Drive just seems to refuse to pull the latest revision of a file in Yosemite. I'm fine as long as the last time I updated the file was on the Macbook, but if I update it on my desktop, on iCloud.com, or on any of my iOS devices, the Macbook won't ever find the newer versions of the file.
The only success I have is turning iCloud Drive off (allowing the files to be deleted from my system) then turning iCloud Drive back on. This will pull the latest versions only there's no way to prioritize the order of the files or which files to sync so it can take an hour or more to get everything back onto my system so that I can open it.
Any ideas short of dumping iCloud Drive and using a reliable service like Dropbox?

Hey Tim Klein,
Thanks for the question. I too would be just as frustrated if my documents were not staying up-to-date when using iCloud drive. It sounds like you have found an applicable work around, but let’s see if we can actually resolve this issue.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately Office for Mac does not support the correct protocols to work with iCloud.

Icloud drive not showing in settings - icloud

Hi, I am in ios 8.1 and using iphone 5c. I am not able to find "iCloud Drive" in Settings -> iCloud menu in my iphone. Am i missing something?

Looks like something is wrong in my iphone. apps like 1Password is not able to lookup in my icloud drive and are giving me the error message "icloud drive not available : icloud access is restricted by parental controls or device management"
Please help!

ICloud is not syncing photos

iCloud is not syncing photos from phone to ipad? When I login to icloud.com there is no Photo folder?? I read somewhere that you must close camera on iphone for photos to sync, have been doing that, but that's not doing it now.

Photo stream photos are uploaded when the camera app is closed, the device is connected to wifi and has at least 20% battery life remaining. Also, only photos added to the camera roll after enabling photo stream are uploaded, not earlier photos. If those conditions were met and the photos are still not uploading, try turning photo stream off, then back on. Before turning it off, if you have any photo stream photos on it that are older than 30 days and are no longer in the camera roll, save them to the camera roll or you will lose them. (Open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward pointing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll.)

My iPad and iPhone have the same syncing calendar but my Windows 7 PC with iCloud does not sync/show the same calendar...please help!

My iPad and iPhone have the same syncing calendar but my Windows 7 PC with iCloud does not sync/show the same calendar...please help!

iCloud will not sycn a calendar from an external source. In order to use iCloud to sync it, you would have to move it to iCloud and stop using Google. I know how to do that on a Mac, but I'm not sure how to do it on a PC. If you're using Outlook, I suspect you export it as an .ics file to your desktop, then import it to the iCloud account in Outlook. I'm sure you could use Google to find the specific steps.
However, there's really no reason not to just use Google to sync your calendar across your devices. Instead, just continue to use Goole calendar on all your devices and they should stay in sync. Take a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0Jj0KFgbYI.

ICloud calendar not syncing with Mac calendar

I deleted the default "all calendars" calendar from my iCloud calendar in a browser because it was the only way to solve a bizarre issue where I had 2 sets of every event from an extra calendar that I had subscribed to and then unsubscribed from in Google Calendars. After I fixed my Google calendar (deleted, re-imported) and re-subscribed to the Google calendar from my Mac calendar everything looks back to normal in my Mac calendar and on all my devices. HOWEVER...I can't get anything from the Mac calendar (which is getting its data from my Google calendar) to come back and repopulate the iCloud calendar viewed from a browser.
If I enter a new event in either the iCloud or the Mac calendars it appears in the other calendar within a minute, but all of the events that populated the Mac calendar when I imported my old google calendar to repopulate it have never migrated (unless I manually go to each event and change it from a gmail calendar event to an iCloud event in the Mac calendar).
Help! Any ideas??

iCloud will not sync your Google calendar. To get it into iCloud, you have to export it as an .ics file, then import that to an iCloud calendar on your Mac. See http://www.groovypost.com/howto/osx-lion-import-google-calendars-icloud/.

ICloud calendar not syncing with mac

on my iPhone, when I input an event in my iCloud calender, it doesn't sync to my iCal on my Mac. (BUT, it does work the other way - if I make an event on my Mac it does show up in that calendar on my phone...) Any help much appreciated.

After downloading maverick, iCloud will not sync across my devices

Since downloading Maverick [10.9], iCloud will not sync across my devices. Mail is not working properly. I'm being asked for passwords from everything.
Also, every time I close and then reopen Mail, I get a message saying "Mail cannot connect to the iCloud account "iCloud", requiring my password, again!
Is there a solution to this? How can I find out if it's server related, etc.?
Thanks to anyone out there that can help!

Try restarting your router and all the other devices.

Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

I think I may be having the same issue In a round about kind of way. Just got an iPhone4S ... everything worked great until today when I started tinkering with the settings in my new phone and noticed my cloud was getting full and I had two iPhone back ups on there at 4GB a piece. So.... I deleted the old back up of the iPhone4 and after that is when I started noticing issues. The cloud on my phone can no longer authenticate itself , unable to tell me when the last back up was, and will not perform a back up at all. Furthermore I am unable to download apps or updates on my iphone4S, they all sit in "waiting" status....
I also must say that I purchased an iPad 2 and still have my original ipad in the house and active. Both back ups are in the cloud and both devices work fine independently and can download apps and back up fine as well. I'm pretty sure this may be the culprit concerning this issue and I too have no idea how to fix it. Please Help!!!

My iCloud is not syncing with my outlook

my iCloud is not syncing with my outlook

How do I upload my Microsoft Outlook to replace the Calendar and Contacts on Icloud? My computer is Windows 7 and Microsoft Outlook 2007. Icloud is all messed up and will not let me delete incorrect information. It keeps saying it cannot delete because of server error.
My iphone 4 and my computer are correct. Only Icloud is wrong. I have had to disable Icloud until I can figure out how to correct it. If anyone knows what I should do, please let me know.
Thanks.

ICloud pictures not syncing - Shared streams will; camera roll will not

Hello
Ever since I got my new iPhone 5c my Camera Roll will not sync with my computer. The shared streams will sync, the pictures will sync with my other devices just not the computer.
I have tried untinstalling the icloud from the computer and reinstalling, I have signed out and back in on both the computer and iPhone, I just cant figure it out.
Has anyone else had this happen?
PLEASE HELP!!

Similar issues, although maybe not quite as catastrophically bad. I've got a Mac Mini, an iMac, and an MBA, all running Yosemite, an iPhone 6, and an iPad 3 (both iOS devices are running iOS 8). The iOS devices seem to sync okay with changes made on the Mini, and vice versa, but the iMac doesn't seem to be syncing at all with the other devices, nor does the MBA. Based on the original post, I'm not going to bother calling Apple and spending an entire workday trying everything short of replacing the main logic board to try to figure out the problem.
What's particularly annoying is that Yosemite just went through an extended beta period. Unfortunately, there was no equivalent beta program for iOS 8, so there were probably plenty of areas where Apple simply did not do sufficient QC in an area where things need to work flawlessly: file management. Some of the files I keep on iCloud are hundreds of pages long, and the notion that they may become lost or corrupted gives me chills. Apple advertises iCloud Drive as a way to safely and reliably work on your files on multiple devices. So far, it is neither.
