Unable to sync messages or reminders via iCloud after updating to macOS 26.0 Tahoe

I updated to macOS 26.0 Tahoe this morning and I am now unable to sync messages or reminders via iCloud;


Within my Apple settings I see the following error:



When I try to 'Resume Data Sync', I input my password and then it perpetually loads without actually updating.


Similarly, within the Messages app, it tells me 'an unknown error occurred':


I have tried logging out and back into iCloud along with restarting my computer but the issue persists. Can anyone advise?

I see no issue on the servers related to iCloud an sync services.

you can try again signing out and back in(?)


Check your >System Settings>iCloud and very the toggle settings, you can turn off and back on in an effort to elicit some change



Check your Apple ID device list to see where you're signed in

Check your Apple Account device list to find where you’re signed in - Apple Support



Sign out of your Apple ID/Account /iCloud on the Mac and back in again and compare your results

Sign in to or out of your Apple Account on Mac - Apple Support
