The latter shipped with Monterey, and has been nothing but headaches, not the least of which is an on-going problem with something as basic as file sharing. Hours troubleshooting and searching on Google, without success. More hours on the phone with Apple support have been fruitless. I’m hoping the TidBITS brain trust might have some insights on what’s going on. I have an M1 Mac mini (Big Sur) running on our network as a household file server, among other things. Attempts to connect to ‘miniserver’ from a Finder window on the MBA are problematic. The miniserver appears in the list of locations in the sidebar of a Monterey finder window (as it should). Clicking on miniserver displays Connecting… at the top of the Finder window. This usually fails after 30s (with Connection Failed), but I’ve seen it take as long as 4:30 to timeout and report failure.Īnother way of connecting is with the Connect as button at upper-right of the Finder window. This solicits the Name and Password pop-up window to establish the connection, which then usually fails with an error box: “ There was a problem connecting to miniserver. Occasionally, after 10-20 seconds, the list of available volumes available on miniserver will appear. If I then select one with a double-click, it generally take 30 seconds before the list of files & folders on the volume appears. While investigating this headache, I found that I can successfully connect using Finder/Go/Connect to Server… (Cmd-K shortcut), and then entering smb://192.168.1.6 (the IP of the Mac mini). Or smb://miniserver.local (the miniserver’s mDNS name). I contacted Apple support, and eventually made my way through the AppleCare gauntlet to a Senior Advisor who took an interest. He had me install their Capture Data utility on both machines, and use it to capture detailed logs from the MBA and the Mac mini simultaneously while attempting a connection. He apparently sent the massive log files off to Engineering, but no insight was obtained. He eventually suggested that I boot the MBAir into the Recovery partition and re-install Monterey from scratch. That odyssey took over 24 hours to download the 14.3 installer (over my 500 Mbps fibre connection)! Parenthetically, I’ve determined why the download from Apple’s update server was so sluggish. In any event, the re-install of Monterey made no difference. Nor did the recent update to 14.3.1 (an 8-hour download ordeal). I’m pretty sure that this is a Monterey issue. My wife’s MBAir (still on 14.3) exhibits the same problem. WiFi coverage is a pair of Unifi 802.11ac access points, one upstairs, one downstairs.However, an Early-2015 MBAir running Mojave handles file sharing connections to the Mac mini just fine.
