ICloud – MacBook Pro NOT syncing desktop to iCloud

icloud

UPDATE: After months of doing research and trying a vast array of different things I finally decided to call Apple. I was on the phone with them for over 2 hours and they could not figure it out. Finally they had me download some special software that would scan my computer and then they'd have it analyzed by an engineer. Then this morning when I woke up, lo and behold it was magically working! I'm thinking they may have done something server side for me. But ya thats what it took to get it working again.

TDLR: Call Apple to get it fixed.

OLD POST:
My MacBook Pro is not uploading or downloading its desktop to iCloud. It works flawlessly on my iMac, iPhone, iPad, ec…

I can't figure out what the heck is going on, here are somethings that I've tried,

  • 1) signed out of iCloud, shutdown computer and waited for a few hours
  • 2) unchecked and rechecked desktop & document syncing
  • 3) checked to make sure I have enough space in iCloud (I do)

  • 4) checked to make sure I have enough space on my computer (I do)

How can I fix this!?
