I just set up a new Iphone and all my saved Wifis are gone from my Macbook. It used to sync automatically, not the Wifi connections aren't even displayed.

Hi Lisa,


From that clarification it sounds as tough you're not seeing the prompt that allows you to share your Wi-Fi password from your iPhone as outlined in the following article.


How to share your Wi-Fi password from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If so, that is expected as your Mac is already connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and isn't requesting the password from your iPhone. There isn't a way to view passwords for other networks. Unless you have those network passwords saved in the Notes application, or elsewhere such as a document.


Have a great day.

Hello Lisa,


It sounds as though you're no longer seeing previously saved or Wi-Fi connections on your MacBook. To clarify, are you no longer seeing those connections in System Preferences > Network? If so, are you able to reconnect to the Wi-Fi Network, or are you having issues connecting to Wi-Fi with your Mac?


If you're having issues connecting to the Wi-Fi network the following article may help with resolving the issue.

Have a great day!
