some iCloud data isn't syncing

Yes, all is back to normal now. I think the passwords were minimal since I don't use the phone for online business - I use a computer for that. But, everything looks great after a backup and restore.

I’m having the same issue i just got my new iPhone 14 and im getting the same message and when i press resume data sync the little thing spins but does nothing sometimes it will make me enter my password but gives me an error message i dont feel like resetting my phone and going through that process again

Also getting the same issue. I’ve tried signing out of iCloud and back in and the error still pops up.

When I try to click resume sync,it’ll spin for a bit but nothing happens.

Advanced data protection is off also.

Anyone else have any luck?

Hi all

I am trying to set up a iPad mini 6 with the latest software from scratch I to am having this issue where my passwords keychain, health and map data are not syncing. I do get the resume syncing button I click it nothing happens. I enter my iPad and iPhone passcodes, and it says verification failed, I tried resetting the device to factory settings with no luck. I tried signing out of iCloud and back in with no luck.

Can anyone help me with this or does anyone have any other suggestions that I could try?

I'm having the same problem - as I log out an in on other devices the same issue is occurring... I have a brand new MacBook Pro 14" M3 Pro and it's not allowing me to sidecar throwing errors that iCloud doesn't have two factor authentication when it does. All my Macs are updated to the latest 17.2. SUCKS.

Seems to working here too. I could enter my PIN code and then the encryption key. After this, it was restored. Seems to work so far. Tried it all day and didn't get the popup which let me enter those two things.

I wonder why Apple has a server status page, if they don't list things there ...

I bought an iPhone 15 Pro yesterday and I got this issue! I’ve tried all the steps mentioned in this thread and all didn’t work.

Last thing I tried was I backed up my previous phone (13 pro). Then I erased new phone (15 pro) so I could start setting it up again, then set it up from the back up I created from the 13 pro.

At first I thought it didn’t work, so I slept. I woke up and the Resume sync issue is still there. I checked the old phone and noticed it now has the issue and its Passwords and Keychain is off so I turned it back on and tapped resume sync.

I went back to the new phone and did the same and I was finally able to turn on Passwords and Keychain and it’s now syncing.

Also, the passwords didn’t appear right away. But it finally worked!

I went back to this thread to share this immediately because I know how frustrating this is!

I have the same advice but in both iPhones 13 and 14 Pro Max and I have to reset this a lot of times..What's wrong with this I even call Apple for support, they told me that I have to make backups to correct that, I made the backup but it doesn't correct that.

I upgraded to iPhone 14 pro in 10/13/23. On 10/17/23 I had an issue I had never seen happen before (animated files folder with files coming out of it like Microsoft but I have only Apple's file folder in my phone, called my carrier since it came from them, told to turn off phone then reset it. Since that date 2+ months now, still getting can't sync message on iPhone. Encrypted data needs verification code, but verification doesn't work. Only have access to calendar, mail and contacts. Everything else gone. I get calls 2x week from Apple support as they are working directly with iCloud engineering. We have done diagnostics, screen recordings, you name it. Everything I am told to try makes me lose more functionality. I lose everything on my phone everytime I have to wipe and start over. The highest level of security is turned on my phone but no codes from trusted sources work. I have a $1k phone that I cannot save, update, do anything. I am a professional artist, all my work is in my cloud. Unable to work since October. I am working with highest level at Apple iCloud engineering and nothing works. My choice is delete my iCloud filled with photos of my deceased relatives and all my artwork, and start fresh with a new iCloud account. Or I can try to set up using physical keys at the cost of $75 per key and you have to have a minimum of two, or lose everything if I have to start over. And there is no guarantee the physical keys will work. They need to get this fixed. I see a class action coming if they can't figure this out.

On my iMac Desktop: I am getting the same message: "Some iCloud Data Isn't Syncing" Your end-to-end encrypted data stored in iCloud can't be accessed on this device. It includes saved passwords and data from Health and Maps. Verify your account information to resume syncing.

After clicking "Resume Data Sync" it prompts me to type my password into the box. After typing in my password and hitting "Continue". Nothing happens.

same here on MacOS Sonoma 14.2.1:

Some iCloud Data Isn't Syncing

This MacBook Pro isn't syncing your end-to-end encrypted data across all of your devices. It includes saved passwords and data from Health and Maps. Verify your account information to resume syncing.

Trying to press "resume data sync" - no go. sometimes it ask for a password, sometimes it does nothing.

iCloud has become unusable due to its simply being unreliable. Its embarrassing to use this "(fill in what you think it is)" in front of my customers. I am paying for this by the way. iCloud drive downloads tons of GB over and over again. How do you like that mother nature?

I had the same problem exactly and every time I tapped resume sync and put in my passcode it sent me right back to the "some iCloud data isn't syncing" page. I had help from an advisor (which is probably ai) and it didn't help so I turned off my passcode and then as long as you have another apple device connected to your account (for example a mac or iPad) you'll be able to use your mac or iPad passcode instead which will work (at least in my case it did). I've seen this happen multiple times before and this does work.

I never had these turned on, so why am I getting error messages? Come on Apple, start fixing things!! Is this your poor attempt to get me to use the false hood of Two Factor? With todays technology, we shouldn't need two factor, we have face id and finger print, also you should already know where most people live by IP address, and you should know when someone from another area is trying to log into an account that's mine, block them, not me!! You have this false sense you feed to people you are safe with two factor, but your not. Your iCloud got hacked a year ago and you never mentioned it publicly. I got little notice and that was it. You are the ones we have to worry about, and this is why i won't use iCloud to hold keychains and passwords.

SO why is my syncing giving error for something I don't use???

After working with advisers from Oct 23 on this same issue when I lost all access to my data, I was advised to hold on for the next big update for IOS. Unfortunately with every new update I was losing more and functionality of my 14 Pro. I ended up having to get a new phone. Old phone couldn't log out and I couldn't even wipe the phone. My whole artistic life's work was in my icloud as well as 4 deceased family members' as well as our newest family member's photos and memories. In order to erase my phone, we (me and the advisor) had to use the icloud "find" address on the web. The only way to erase the phone was to agree that all of my data would be deleted as well as my icloud account. I was given 30 days to download my data but the person who set up my phone at the store turned off all my data except calendars, contacts and message, turned off access my data on the web, and turn on all the highest security. Even my 2FV family members' codes wouldn't work. I couldn't do anything from October, have lost all my data, my life's work as an artist, photos, and now had to created a new icloud account to basically start from scratch on the 3rd iPhone 14Pro. I bought new in September, am locked into a 3 yr contract with my carrier, traded in a perfect XR, got 2 defective new 14Pros and now am using a reconditioned 14Pro, which will be my last iPhone. I have been an iPhone user since 2008 when we got the first corporate iPhones. Apple has all of my intellectual property. Never again. (I am retired, dealing with the effects of treating a life-threatening illness, and couldn't continue backing up to my laptop bc it stopped working.) But it wouldn't matter anyway, since I can't access on the web. Next phone - a really nice flip phone...when I finish my 3 yr contract. I wish Blackberry would come back - wonderful company and phone. Wishing you all good luck and hoping you never have to grieve your life's work! Hoping you can all keep your data and don't have to start over. All the best ~

Logging out of my iPad and logging back in worked for me but.. to log back in took a real effort. Many failed attempts, tried changing passwords .. failed. Eventually I had to gather all my apple devices and ended up with a 6 digit verification code sent to my phone that worked.. 👍🙂
