Then have to figure out all the files that the four of us changed since then. Doing that now from a Time Machine backup that caught the previous version over a week ago. This worked for about 12 hours and broke again.įinally after 8 days of my office being mostly dead in the water another Apple rep tells me about the "known" SMB problem with 10.4.5, and that I should roll back to the previous OS. This at the suggestion of the third or fourth Apple support person (senior) I spoke to. Seeming NOT to be a hardware issue on the Mini, we wiped and set up the Mini again as a "brand new" Mac. Set up the MBP from a Carbon Copy Cloner backup and worked for a day then the problem came up again. Got a new server machine (13" MBP) thinking that it was a hardware problem with my MacMini. We got on for half a day then were bumped off. It seems like a network or hardware problem, so we replaced our router, switch, and several Ethernet cables after trying many other network setting changes and several power cycles of the LAN. Maybe spontaneously, maybe at high traffic moments - hard to say.
#Smbup mojave update#
Four person office and seems that shortly after an automatic update to 10.4.5, our Mac mini file sharing "server" started dropping all four clients. This is a major issue but from previous experiences I can only hope that another Mojave update will fix it at some point (I’ve had different problems with lost network connections in two or three OS X versions before and with another system update they were suddenly gone so I’m not very confident I can fix it myself in any way). From the 10.14.5 iMac I can access the other Macs perfectly but that’s not how I usually want to use it. I had no problems with previous instances of Mojave, only since 10.14.5. When I try switching file sharing off on the iMac while the clients try to connect it sometimes crashes the whole "Sharing" control panel in a way I can’t even shut it down and have to restart the Mac.
I tried switching file sharing on and off or change the settings without any luck. If I try to access again, Finder will sometimes freeze completely, beach ball for several minutes or forever, I had to force shutdown/restart the whole Mac mini several times. The iMac is always visible in the Finder sidebar or in "Network" but It either doesn’t connect at all or looses connection suddenly. Sometimes it will work for a while but most of the time not at all. Since I updated my iMac that I use as a server to 10.14.5 I can’t get a stable connection. I usually use my iMac as a server that I access from two clients, a Mac mini on El Capitan and a MacBook on HighSierra. I have the exact same problem as TMacInc, same usecase.
