iCloud drive stuck on "upgrading" since installing iOS 8?? Help please...

It does not sound like your issue has anything to do with upgrading iCloud Drive. If you are signed into iCloud and Find My iPhone with an old ID, then it remains signed in until you sign it out.

If you simply changed that old email on your Apple account to the email you are using now, you can go back to: Apple - My Apple ID, sign in with your current email and password, and EDIT your email to be the old one. This is temporary, so do NOT validate the email address and do NOT change the password.

Sign out of Find My iPhone and then go back to: Apple - My Apple ID and change your ID back to your current one.

If it is a different Apple account altogether, then you need to click on the Forgot password on the Apple - My Apple ID link, and then answer the Security Questions for the old ID in order to change the password. If you cannot remember the password, then you will have to contact Apple Support to get a reset link: ACCOUNT SECURITY SUPPORT

Tried everything I can think of including soft reset. Can't sign out of find iPhone because it keeps reverting to an old email address which is not valid anymore fsmail. Don't know what to do next. I never use

iCloud so a bit fed up of it just now.

Reset your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the reset is complete, the "Slide to Unlock" screen will redisplay.

The iCloud servers are probably overloaded right now.

But you probably want to read this before you go ahead and implement iCloud Drive:

That didnt work and mine is doing the same thing WHAT THE ****

I had this same problem on my iPad Air, tried rebooting, soft reset, etc. Oddly enough, I flipped my ipad to airplane mode, which then gave me an icloud drive error, but then the iCloud Drive went from "upgrading" to "on." I turned off the airplane mode and all still seems fine with the iCloud Drive. Not sure what that did, but I was happy to see the continual upgrading go away. Hope this works for you guys too!

SOLVED thanks to Apple Support solution was to go to red sign out a bottom of page ignore all the you will lose everything and complete the sign out one option was finally "keep on iPad" chose this option and sign out then sign back in and all is back to normal. I will forget iCloud Drive for now!!

My iPhone 5S was stuck on upgrading iCloud Drive for 2 days. The fix from Apple was to reset settings (settings/general/reset/reset all settings) and to reboot the modem (BT Homehub in my case) . It was a connectivity issue apparently. I did a backup on iTunes first as a reset of settings loses a few things like the wallpaper and ring chimes.

Glad you got it fixed but my solution from Apple took about 3 minutes and did not lose any data in fact the support man said under no circumstances use full reset. Shows how different advice can be for same issue.

Tried all the advice from this thread but still the same. 😟

I even tried using cellular data, restore and reset (the one that erases all data and media - even set it up as a new iPhone).

Any other advice I can try? Thanks.

So you are saying you are unable to delete the iCloud account that is signed on by going to Settings>iCloud, scrolling to the bottom of the screen and tapping on the Delete Account option?

I used the ANONINSPAIN approach and while everything did indeed disappear after logging out, it all came back when I logged into iCloud...and best of all, iCloud drive is now turned off. Should have waited a few days before upgrading....

I actually tried signing out of iCloud before then tried signing back in and it didn't work; however, I tried it again just now and it finally worked. The only difference that I did this time was I chose the option to "Merge" contacts, etc. and used cellular data. Thanks for the help everyone! 🙂

So i ended up fixing mine myself. It was stuck saying "Upgrading" to iCloud drive for going on 2 days. Its an iPhone 5 I tried resetting dozens of times (Holding home and power button until apple logo), running in airplane mode etc etc etc. I had never synced this phone before with iTunes and i have a windows laptop. So i plugged it up, downloaded iTunes, then went and downloaded the windows iCloud interface program, and while it was syncing to iTunes i got the interface program working. I let it do the syncing thing, turned the phone off and on again in the normal way after it was through, and what-do-ya-know! it is FIXED! It says iCloud Drive is On, and everything is working 100% and i didn't lose so much as a note or an email in the process. So my advice it to sync with iTunes, and reset your phone. I don't think the interface program i downloaded did anything to fix it, but i have never logged into or signed up for cloud anywhere but on the phone itself. So if the syncing doesn't work then try it.

hello i had the same problem. Sign out of iCloud an option to save to iPhone will Appear accept, sign back in choose merge ,,your iCloud eve should upgrade . I hope this will help.

Thank you. That worked. Actually got solution from another user called ladybug...but could not find her again.
