Stalled iCloud Syncing:

Sometimes, the uploads get stalled. So, if it is having issues, then log out of iCloud on all of your devices, and then log back in, one device at a time. When told that they are pending, just continue with the logout, and then restart your devices. It seems items are pending, and yet it is stalled during this upload process.
