How to force an iPhone to eject

My Mac says that it's been syncing with the iPhone for about four days, and I haven't found a way to stop the process.


• I've tried right-clicking and force eject the iPhone from the Finder sidebar. Nothing happens.

• I've shut down the iPhone and then turned it back on. Nothing happens.

• I've connected the iPhone to the Mac with a physical cable. Nothing happens.

• I've tried to eject it from iTunes. No success.


Mac is running Monterey 12.0.1

iPhone is running 15.6.1

iPhone 8

Sorry its a mac not a PC!

But what about antivirus? If you have any get rid.

You can relaunch the finder in the Force Quit menu, or log out of your Mac session normally.


If necessary hold the power button down
