Exactly !
If this was an Apple issue rather than a snit issue, it would be all over

Maybe there are many others with the same problem?
I doubt it though.
Once again, snit for the loss.
There are others with similar issues.

Highly unlikely that it is due to a side loaded program. Not impossible
of course but unlikely.
How would YOU know? You don't use an Apple computer!!!
What is more likely is the IT Master snit somehow managed to screw up
the sync settings.
There are many options and he probably didn't, or couldn't comprehend what >> each one does. And yes, despite is ignorance, his computer does instruct
iCloud what actions to perform and how iCloud is configured.
Some people shouldn't be allowed near a computer, or anything technical.
Snit is one of those people.

That is true I don't own an Apple computer however the principle is

Same basic idea.

That's because snit considers himself smarter than everyone else.
He is a loon.
Oh, and have you noticed since others have chimed in to the discussion
snit's story has morphed?
He is so predictable.
But loons like snit can be entertaining to watch.
It's the circus that never closes and it's free!
Sync settings donrCOt corrupt iCloud accounts. YourCOre wrong.

They were some years ago.
That's why I wanted YOU to ask - but you refuse!
Why?
IrCOm not asking for help. IrCOm noting that my iCloud storage on ApplerCOs servers has gone corrupt rCo or more specifically the metadata and syncing info. Apple agrees and is working to recover my data in a way that I can retrieve.
Much of this data is on a different computer than my main. Work one and on old backups rCo but I have reorganized some and some newer data might be lost.
There is no debate here, nor a request for help rCo merely a report.
If someone wants more info I might provide, but yourCOre clearly trolling and David, with all his good intentions, is still struggling with basics such
as why deleting an app leaves files in the Library folder (as designed). Neither of you are at a level offer help or even understanding rCo even if I was asking for such. Which, again, IrCOm not.
You will use this as an avenue of attack; David will go on irrelevant tangents about malware. It is what it is.

You will use this as an avenue of attack; David will go on irrelevant

You need to access your iCloud from either a brand new computer or from
one which has has the hard drive wiped.
I'm beginning to believe what other folk have said about you being

Feel free to ask AI that. :)
Thanks.
I did.
What was its response?
*User generated fault* - you uploaded something that iCloud didn't like.

That is not at all the case. But what could one upload to break iCloud?
I have found where it seems tied to old iCloud accounts... where things have not been updated properly (again, on Apple's side).

The closest GUESS is that it is tied to those of us who have used iCloud from early on... but it is server related.

Mine is an Apple server issue. And given how my computer is now tied to iCloud, it impacts my local system. If I try to copy things from Documents to say ~/Storage I get things like this (it is not consistent)
* It copies (taking a LONG time) but then the folder is recreated in Documents. Empty. Or sometimes only some of the contents copy and the rest stay in Documents, and I have to keep trying to combine. There are times it even duplicates contents so they are n both.
* It tries for a LONG time and then fails.
* It starts a copy and even after 24 hours it does not even start (setting the
computer to not sleep).
* It works.
The larger the data being copied, the worse things tend to be.
I have looked through my old computer. Thankfully, as I have said, I did NOT tie that to iCloud. I got my new computer about 2 years ago. All my data from before that is safe (though since then I have organized and deleted some, so still frustrating). Very current stuff -- from the last month or so -- seems fine or mostly so. And has now been copied to places not on iCloud. Things from 2 months to about 2 years ago are being the biggest pain... but even that
I think I have back.
I will talk to them soon about where things are, but Apple is still working on
packaging my data.

Why?
Once again snit proves himself to be clueless about computer tech.
iCloud and Onedrive for that matter, both clearly mention that they are not to be used as primary back up sites.
Snit seemingly has no structured back up strategy which is a computer
noob mistake and not something a supposed IT Master should fail to understand.
And even if he did depend upon iCloud as a backup, he made critical noob mistake #2 which is not testing the back up or in this case testing the files every now and then to see if they can be downloaded and work.
Have you figured out that snit is a technical goofball?
You should have by now.
Most everyone else has.
And lastly, why hasn't snit reached out to the online Apple forums for
advice?
He has not claimed to have done so.
That seems very odd.

I have a LOT more going on in my life than working on my computer and reporting anything here. Keep in mind I did not share any real details until asked and have not asked anyone here for help. Nobody here is really qualified. Even going to different forums it would be a fool's errand to try to guess who is the "right" person. I did the smart thing and found a knowledgeable Apple tech after I did my own research and work. Turned out I diagnosed the issue correctly (iCloud failure) and came with good evidence.

I did research, found what I needed, talked to Apple -- and while it took longer than it should have, I found a very knowledgeable person there who is not working on broad ideas but my system specifically. When I run into something I can email him and he will hopefully reply. I "tested" this a few minutes ago by sending him an email (with a legit question). Hopefully he continues to offer good service.

None are particularly close, and none would be likely to help. They look at local issues, not issues with the iCloud server. What they can do I likely have done more at home. If one was very close I might give them a chance but doubt it would do much good. They are mostly there for more common and user-related issues.

You being an "Apple" man, through and through, *WHY* have you not used
your skills and knowledge to help novice users asking questions on the
Apple Support Communities (ASC) forums?
You also appear to avoid www.macrumors.com, https://www.mac-forums.com/
and https://www.mac-help.com/too.
Just think how much help you could have been to people, instead of
wasting your time being a Troll on the Usenet!

they want their computers fucked up like yours is snit.

So you spend all day and night posting to usenet and you are criticizing others for spending too much time with their computers?
That's a treat.
With all of those services you belong to snit you have plenty of free time
to get yourself a job.
You are a fucking leech.

has never been that way -- but you were very resistant to answering and kept changing topics. But you DID answer. You noted AI agreed my assessment was correct (and thus you were in error). That means, I hope (but doubt) you will move on from getting caught up on EtreCheck acting as a standard macOS app.

Then you see these things and create stories in your head of whatever software you are focused on doing wrong because it acts AS IT SHOULD.

I have been taught that one should never install an App from outside of
the App

I have been taught that one should never install an App from outside of

store if it doesn't have it's own uninstaller.
You have been taught incorrectly.
Then you need to question this on the ASC forums!
Do you agree with that?
Not at all. Why would having an installer matter? Most apps on macOS do not.
I think you meant to say UNinstaller. Again, you must ask the gurus on
the ASC forums!
But ignoring the principal Apple-sponsored forum seems anathema to me.Viz:-

It is curious to me. I have friends on TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter,
Intsagram, Snapchat, Reddit, WhatsApp, Facebook comments, Threads, and more.
Oh, and Messenger and Texting (Messages on iOS). Not all, but it seems a fair

Question for you to ask:- "Why does having an App uninstaller matter?"
I already know at least the basics -- it does not matter. It is not needed.
Where it would matter to have an uninstaller is if files are saved in nonstandard places or are very large so they matter when you remove the app. Some apps install background processes or helpers and those are not removed by
deleting the app -- so it matters even more there.[....]

Thank you for perfectly making my case for me, Brock.
In your other post in the "Screenshot!" thread, you admitted that you
blindly dragged an app to the Trash, completely unaware that it had left
past reports lingering behind in your ~/Library directory until I
pointed it out to you.
Furthermore, tools like EtreCheck do exactly what you just described:
they run background processes, set up launch agents/daemons, and store
data outside the basic .app bundle.
By your own explicit admission above, if an app installs background
helpers or leaves unremoved files behind, it does matter, and an
uninstaller is needed. Yet, when a developer fails to provide one, and
leaves users to manually hunt down junk in their ~/Library paths, you
defend it as "acting as it should."
You can't have it both ways. Either it "matters even more" for apps that leave background processes and files behindrComeaning my advice to look
for an uninstaller is entirely correctrCoor you need to go back and
rewrite your definitions. Which is it?
