My setup
- iPhone 17 Professional Max
- MacBook Air 2023 M3
- macOS Sequoia 15.7.3
- USB-C reference to the unique iPhone 17 Professional Max cable
Intention: To again up on to the MacBook Air, and from there switch the backup to an exterior HDD.
Problem: Syncing doesn’t proceed from step 2, exhibiting error ‘ready for adjustments to be utilized’.
What I’ve tried to date: Up to date to the newest iPhone 17 software program and the newest Sequoia model. Set the iPhone into airplane mode (to forestall the Apple Watch from interfering). Compelled a restart of the iPhone, restarted the MB Air, and plugged the iPhone again into the MacBook Air numerous instances.
Questions: On opening in Finder, I see that the choice to again as much as this Mac is already chosen. Beforehand, nonetheless, the default choice could be iCloud. I can not perceive why the default now not reveals up, even after restarting each the iPhone and the MacBook Air. Might this be a part of the issue why this error repeatedly flashes on the display?
The primary try to again up received caught in step 2, ‘Calculating’. It was caught in a single day + a number of extra hours. After deciding that this was a no-go, I disconnected the iPhone and compelled a restart. I additionally restarted the MacBook Air. On plugging again in and opening in Finder, the default choice to sync with iCloud was preselected. I needed to choose ‘Again as much as this Mac.’ Once more, it received caught in step 2, ‘Calculating’. After I do not know what number of extra makes an attempt, instantly the error modified to ‘ready for adjustments to be utilized.’ And since then, each time I reboot and reconnect the iPhone, the default choice to sync with iCloud shouldn’t be chosen; as an alternative, ‘again as much as this Mac’ is preselected.
Might there be a solution to kill the hung course of utilizing Terminal?
The iPhone has been backed up efficiently to iCloud. However to date syncing to the MacBook Air has failed.
