I’ve been utilizing USB Web Connection from my Macbook Professional for some years, pretty reliably. We rely on it since we’re a Wifi free home. After updating to macos 12.7.3 Monterey, each iPhones disconnected. After taking varied steps, I’ve managed to get a brief connection (perhaps an hour). Steps taken beneath:
-
I deleted the contents of </Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration>, apart from ‘com.apple.Boot.plist’, because it was a locked file. Some article beneficial deleting the contents of this folder to reset community settings. Doing this resets the Community pane in Settings to defaults.
-
Resetted SMC & NVRAM. Resetted community settings in iPhones. Inflicting a ‘belief’ display screen which I authorised.
This ‘System Data’ pane reveals the issue. Should not there be just one iPhone energetic service with one IP (1 iPhone linked)?? The IP tackle vary 169.254.x.x might imply there’s a downside, being not allotted by a DHCP server. After taking all of the above steps, this nonetheless comes again!
I’d actually recognize some assist with this (ideally from an Apple software program engineer). Are the ghost iPhone’s inflicting the issue? This hasn’t occurred earlier than after updating.
Thankyou to your time.
