iPhone backup to Mac fails IOS 15.1 MacOS Monterey 12.0.1
Backup of my iPhone 8 running IOS 15.1 fails on MacOS Monterey. It hangs at a couple of points, either with the progress bar in the Finder showing "Backing up" or (most recently) with the Finder window blank with "Software" and "loading" showing. Have tried all the usual tricks:
- Rebooting both the Mac Mini and the phone
- Different (Apple-branded and generic) USB-Lightening cables
- Different USB ports (both on a hub and directly into back of Mac Mini)
- Also seems to happen when it tries to back up over wifi
Once it gets into this state, the Finder is apparently hung up, and often will not even allow the computer to restart without a Force Quit of the Finder. Even a relaunch of the Finder doesn't seem to get it out of this state; it just goes back to attempting the backup and is still hung.
Anybody have any additional suggestions? Known bugs in this area?
