Reply to macOS 15.5 (Sequoia) – iCloud Drive Hydration/Sync Failures on M4 MBP
--- START EtreCheck Summary (Sanitized) --- Model: MacBook Pro (M4, 2024) macOS: 15.5 Sequoia (24F74) iCloud Drive: Stalled hydration on this device only ❗ Symptom: bird shows sustained high CPU Console log reports: "Waiting on local metadata index" Other Macs (M1 and Intel) sync the same folders normally ✅ Attempted Fixes: killall bird Safe Mode boot Toggle iCloud Drive off/on Signed out and back in to Apple ID Isolated network and user profile Checked permissions and ran First Aid No third-party sync tools or VPN installed. mds_stores and mdworker_shared show intermittent activity. 💡 Request: Is there a known issue with Sequoia 15.5 (24F74) or M4 MacBooks and iCloud metadata sync? Safe way to reset bird metadata cache or hydration queue? Could sudo terminal usage during initial setup have affected local ownership? --- END Summary ---
