iCloud Drive stuck on "Setting up iCloud Drive" for hours

[Azzin]

Hi all, as per title really.

I installed Yosemite this morning and one of the first things I did was top open Finder to get look at iCloud Drive, but it's been stuck showing "Setting Up" for hours now.

Just me?

Mine took a little while too. All set up now. I can't remember but I think a restart might have helped.

Mines has also been "Setting up" for half an hour+ now.

I restarted and it completed instantly, give that a try

Did the trick for me too, thanks.

Try signing out of iCloud in the System Preferences > iCloud panel, and then sign back in again. You may have to delete the iCloud account then recreate it in order to sign in again. This solved the constant updating... thing for me, whereas restarting my iMac didn't.

No, you aren't the only one. I installed Yosemite yesterday and it was still saying "Setting up..." even this morning. Really? Anyway...

Didn't work for me:

• Signed into my iCloud account (have no idea how I was signed out)
• Rebooted
• Shutdown/Startup

Seems to have fixed it:

• Logged completely out of iCloud deleting all the data it was storing on my computer
• Logged back in and needed to get approval from another device (iPhone).

I no longer have "Setting up..." and iCloud drive seems to be working normally now.

Good luck!

What worked for me at last was

1) Uncheck 'iCloud' under System Prefs/iCloud
2) Restart Mac
3) Check 'iCloud' under System Prefs/iCloud

Immediate success. I hope this works for others.
