I wanted to restart my Mac in order to check whether this would clear a problem I was having. I got the message:
This makes no sense as it doesn't give any indication of which iOS device is involved, nor does it allow one to abandon the operation. Grrr.
iMac Line (2012 and Later)
I managed to get out of this situation by having the device connected by cable to the computer. Then turn off the iOS device.Then disconnected the device from the computer. The device disappeared in the Finder and I was able to restart the computer. Then I restarted the device and reconnected it to the computer. When it showed up in the Finder, I clicked on sync and let it work. After that, everything worked for me. So far....
I is running Catalina 10.15.3 on my MacBook Pro and iOS 13.3.1 on my iPhone.
Many thanks
That's really helpful, thank you.
Have you tried my method above?
The iOS sync is a disaster in Catalina. They had ample time to test it, but yet it made into our macs causing trouble everyday.
Yep, same here caught with finder not quitting
I spoke too soon.. argh!
I'm having the same issue also. Cannot quit finder even though no devices are syncing.
Same issue here. Everything you mentioned, didn't work....
Thanks you, it's work on my Mac
"The Finder can't quite because an operation is still in progress on an iOS device"
