Nov 18, AM. Unfortunately not. Nov 19, AM in response to zinacef In response to zinacef. I was afraid there wouldn't be a way. And I'm not sure resetting things will help as other iCloud services like photo's and notes are syncing fast. Question: Q: iCloud sync slow, way to force sync? More Less. Communities Get Support.

Return to the Home screen and wait a few moments before launching the app again. Another approach that sometimes works is to turn off iCloud Contacts and turn it on again.
Never underestimate the power of a hard reset to resolve many iOS problems. To achieve a hard reset on iOS devices simply hold down the Power and Home buttons until the device turns off and the Apple logo appears. The device will restart and system processes will be refreshed, which sometimes fixes iCloud sync problems.

They lost 9 weeks of Data!!! How is that possible? If you delete files from a different Mac linked to the same iCloud account, they also get deleted from the original Mac that the files were on.
Even though you can access those files when you do not have internet, if you delete them from the hard drive of a different Mac and then empty the trash of the other Mac, those files will be gone forever on the original Mac. There is no way to get the files back once deleted from the trash and inadvertently from the iCloud Drive. Why would a Mac not store all files on the hard drive? They said I should have been using Time Machine to back up everything.
I was using an external hard drive to do that scheduled once a week, only to learn that my files were not saved because my files were being stored on iCloud, not on the hard drive. I thought the iCloud Drive was advertised as a safe back up drive. I never thought my files were not being stored on my hard drive, since I was still able to access everything when I did not have internet. I even paid for extra iCloud storage so all my pictures and files would be saved.
Weirdly, many of my picture files were also deleted even though supposedly Photos on the Mac and iCloud Drive are separate. I lost about a year of files since I started using iCloud to back up my files in addition to the Seagate external drive which was actually only backing up my empty hard drive. I am so disappointed in Apple. I feel like I am somewhat tech savvy but need an IT degree to fully understand how iCloud works unless you experience the loss all of your files!
I can redo some of my work, but it will take months and many files are lost forever. I fully agree with your post. Files are not safe, and as you found out tragically, no secure against deletion by accident. There is no way to get them back. I had the same problem back with iOS 8. I reset my iPad only to find that contrary to what Apple might state in the OS, all iWorks directories on the iCloud were wiped clean on all connected devices.
Additionally, I had another problem where by I got locked out of all my files because iCloud told me the owner had refused me access. Bit rich seeing as I was the owner, and the only device I had used with iCloud at that time was my iPad.
I have long since consigned iCloud to the bin, as untrustworthy. It might have changed since I last used it, but on an iPad trying to group files and move them off the iCloud is nigh on impossible, you have to send them one at a time. I love doing that with hundreds of files. Oh yes, forget the sharing options, they all come with too many caveats to be of any use to anyone but those heavily invested in Apple features. Move to the device you want to access those assets to.
You may find that the sync process has not yet taken place. If it has not, try quitting Photos, connecting the device to power, letting it sleep, and then waking it up again and opening Photos. Assuming you have a decent connection, you should now begin downloading the images you crave.
On a Mac, just quit Photos and relaunch it, once you know the upload is done. These are the steps I use. Hope this helps! Watching Apple since I don't say what they should do.
I say what they might do. They sometimes do. Your email address will not be published. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.
