Just upgraded to the iphone 14 (OS 17.0.1), and as usual Apple is relentless in it's quest to annoy you with using icloud, sorry NOT interested!
How do I stop the annoying message "Some icloud data isn't syncing" asking me to Resume Data Sync when I have everything in icloud turned off? Never synced, never will.
Don't want it, won't use it, please STOP ASKING!
iPhone 14, iOS 17
iCloud is unwanted and obnoxious, always turning itself on immediately and without asking, causing no end of issues.
That said, here's the history and the solution to how I got rid of this latest pointless and unwanted and UNintuitive ("it just works" definitely died with Steve!) "Some icloud data isn't syncing" on an iPad...
1) Got a new iPad and created a *new* Apple ID on it, and turned everything for iCloud Off on this iPad
2) Used this same (new) Apple ID to log into an old iPhone and also turned Off all of the iCloud junk on that too, but that's when the iPad got this ridiculous message
3) I fianlly just clicked the "Resume Synching" (or whatever?) link for that alert, and waited waaaay too long for it to do something and the iPad eventually asked for the passcode for the iPhone (what?!).
4) Once I entered the iPhone's passcode on the iPad (WHY, APPLE, WHY?! Just b/c a bunch of ding-dong celebrities were dopey enough to let their pics get loose b/c they are even bigger bozos than Apple is these days, now the whole world gets this obnoxious and overly onrous and incestual security nonsense on your devices?)
Now, the alert is gone from the iPad and both the iPad and the iPhone have everything re: iCloud as Off, as it should be by default.
NOTE: Turning iCoud on w/o even asking and forcing users to scour for all of the settings and rushing to turn it all off before data is auto-vacuumed into the cloud should be illegal!

I also want this annoying message to stop. I'm not interested in syncing anything with Apple. HOW DO I MAKE THIS ANNOYING MESSAGE STOP?!?!
(Do I need to switch back to Microsoft......?)
I'm sorry @jdo_apple but your reply does not address the question which I have as well.
I have updated correctly but I DON"T use iCloud and I don't want to sync my data.
However I cannot find a way to stop the message from displaying and the badge from showing on the 'Settings' app icon.
This should be a problem that does not require everyone to contact apple support!

Same here. Every day it shows ip again.
how can we turn off this notification
I have updated correctly, current version is 17.1.1, still this annoying message will not go away and is also showing the red circle with a numeral 1 in settings under "some icloud data isn't synching" which I have NEVER used, and NEVER will. The only thing I have ever used icloud for is the "find my phone" part.
Hello ScottKem,
Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you are seeing a message that says "Some iCloud Data Isn't Syncing" after setting up your new iPhone. Let's have you check for available updates (Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support) and then contact Apple directly for further investigation: Apple Support
Cheers!
