      My desktop and the folders there have disappeared. In finder, I can see in iCloud where it is switched off, but it will not turn on. How can I get it back?

      I cannot save anything to the ‘desktop’ as it is not recognized. Help?

      Hello Debbie,

      In the past, when I’ve encountered issues such as this, I’ve had to completely sign out of iCloud, reboot, and then reconnect my iCloud account.

      I would try that first, as well as make sure the Mac is completely updated.

        Hey John. I tried your suggestion–to no avail. I appreciate you trying to help. I finally called Apple Support, whereupon they called me this morning. They had no answer, either. Finally backed up MOST things from Time Machine.

        Thanks again for your help.
