Thanks Severin, I now understand. I’m not sure, but if no-one else has any suggestion, it might be worth trying this: You do have a current BACKUP?...
On the MacBook Air 1. Go to System Preferences > iCloud. 2. Click 'Sign Out'. You’ll have to respond to a long series of prompts asking whether various data should be kept on your Mac or deleted. Answer however you like; you will be restoring all that data in just a moment, anyway. 3. Restart your Mac. (Don’t skip this step!) 4. Return to System Preferences > iCloud and 'sign back in' 5. Reenable all the iCloud features you want to use. More often than not (but no guarantees), this process will solve random iCloud problems.
