Lots of things to comment on regarding the iOS app UI and general buffering and/or aerial issues but I'll save that for when I've been running things for a week or so. So my music is now streaming which is great.

Or better yet, by his software because it worked right out of the box. If you're not going to move away from SMB (which you REALLY REALLY should) then maybe you need to point people to this guy's website. With this software I was able to get a share working and stream music. I have the exact same problem as TMacInc, same usecase.OK, after about 4 hours of trying to get things working (As I said, terrible UX) i ended up coming across SMBUp, a piece of software written by a lone guy who wanted to get better SMB support into OSX.

#Smbup el capitan mac

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. Since I updated my iMac that I use as a server to 10.14.5 I can’t get a stable connection. Sometimes it will work for a while but most of the time not at all. The iMac is always visible in the Finder sidebar or in “Network” but It either doesn’t connect at all or looses connection suddenly. 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. I tried switching file sharing on and off or change the settings without any luck.

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 had no problems with previous instances of Mojave, only since 10.14.5. From the 10.14.5 iMac I can access the other Macs perfectly but that’s not how I usually want to use it.

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). #Smbup mojave updateįour 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. Maybe spontaneously, maybe at high traffic moments - hard to say. 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. We got on for half a day then were bumped off. Got a new server machine (13' MBP) thinking that it was a hardware problem with my MacMini. Set up the MBP from a Carbon Copy Cloner backup and worked for a day then the problem came up again. Seeming NOT to be a hardware issue on the Mini, we wiped and set up the Mini again as a “brand new” Mac. This at the suggestion of the third or fourth Apple support person (senior) I spoke to. 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. Doing that now from a Time Machine backup that caught the previous version over a week ago.

Then have to figure out all the files that the four of us changed since then. I don’t know if I’m more upset that this has been an issue for so many users for so long, or that I went through so many senior support people troubleshooting this network problem before one finally pointed this out.
