Delay in Apple Intelligence setup on M1 iMac after Sequoia 15.1 update I updated my M1 iMac to Sequoia 15.1 24 hours ago. As soon as the update was installed and the iMac reset I went to Settings to set up Apple Intelligence. I followed the prompt to be on the waitlist. 24 hours later (and at two restarts) Settings>Apple Intelligence & Siri still says "Preparing" and "You'll be notified when Apple Intelligence is available for your Mac". On the other hand, my M1 MacBook Pro updated to 15.1 today and Intelligence was up and running in a few minutes. Has anyone experience this issue? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Apple Intelligence download stuck on macOS 15.2 I updated macOS this week when the official launch came of Sequoia 15.2 because I wanted to get the new Apple Intelligence features. I also updated my iPad at the same time. Within a few hours my iPad had downloaded the Apple Intelligence models and I was able to use the features. On my M1 MacBook Pro - which I have checked is connected to a fast fibre wifi connection (not a hotspot or cellular data) and has been left plugged in to charge (as per instructions) it has been stuck on "Downloading..." for several days now (in the panel in System Settings for "Apple Intelligence & Siri"). I have rebooted a few times. What else can I do? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Apple intelligence stuck at 100% complete downloading I updated my macOS to 15.2 this morning from a developer beta version. The Apple Intelligence was working for the first 5 minutes, but then it disappeared and Siri went back to the old Siri. I found in the settings that it is downloading support for Apple Intelligence. However, after 2 hours wait, it is still stuck at 100% complete. Anyone has the same experience as this? How do you solve it?

The required information is missing from both of your posts:

What region/Siri Language is set on your Mac?
Was your Mac purchased in China or made for China distribution?

Review the information here for getting Apple Intelligence:

How to get Apple Intelligence - Apple Support

If still no luck, it is going to require screenshots of what you see at:
