Get rid of “some iCloud data isn’t syncing” notification in settings

Hi njzues,

I have an M1 Mac and get the exact same annoying message. I have turned off every conceivable iCloud data link and the message just won't stop. It may sound a bit silly, but I'm seriously considering ditching my Mac and just using my PC. Too bad, because there are some very clever things I like about the Mac OS.

If anyone can help me to turn off this persistent annoyance it would be much appreciated.

You make some assumptions that just aren’t always true. I have never ever EVER used a passcode on any of my devices, yet I have this EXTREMELY ANNOYING message about setting up my new iPad. Pray tell, how do I get rid of it without letting it FORCE ME to do something I don’t want to do!?!?!?!?

Hey njzeus,

It's virtually impossible to use your iPad without using iCloud because it integrates into nearly every aspect of the tablet. If you see the error to resume data sync on your iPad it is because an iCloud feature is enabled that is attempting to sync with your iPad. Does it give you a clue about the data that it is attempting to sync? (e.g. Photos, iCloud Drive, Contacts, etc.)

If it does, and you do not want to use iCloud for that service, you should be able to trace it back and disable the specific service at Settings > [your name] > iCloud.

The Settings app and iCloud services are system settings and there is no way to disable notifications for either. Your best option is to find the data it is attempting to sync and disable it.

Kindest Regards.

We want to change payment method

I went into the area where I was receiving the message proceeded to delete anything that was in iCloud it made me set up new passwords for my MacBook and iPhone and the message went away. Simply go to that message area and follow whatever it prompts removing everything and then turn off iCloud.

Apple Pay requires an iCloud account.

Signing out of iCloud will disable Apple Pay and remove your cards from this Mac.

I cannot disable these apps linking to the iCloud:

Change payment card

Apple is not saving my just changed password?

deleting learning by access to iCloud for Siri from my iPad seemed to have resolved the issue!
