I cannot believe we are still waiting for a fix on this, nearly 8 weeks after the release of Sonoma.

It makes me wonder just how much testing goes into new releases.


I am so close to reverting back to Ventura

FFS how frustrating! I updated to Sonoma 14.3.1 last night, was just on a zoom screen share meeting and tried to mirror my iPhone and the attendees couldn’t see it on their end, they could only the screen share of my desktop! Is there a way I can roll back to previous update?? I literally can’t my job until this bug is fixed!

To follow up ... I did an experiment and turned Remote Management ON on the target mini running Sonoma 14.2.1 , the machine I need to be able to share its screen. I then tried to share the mini's screen from my iMac and when I gave my user name and password it still claimed it was wrong, even though I am the only administrator account on the mini.


When I shut Remote management back off and turned on Screen Sharing everything worked perfectly again.


So it is Remote Management that is broken! Turn off Remote Management and turn on Screen Sharing and you are good to go.

I'm also running 14.4.1 (on both machines) and a long problem still consists: After starting screen sharing, sometimes the connection will not be established. Login screen tries to connect for ever. If I abort by pressing ESC and trying again, the connection will be established immediately. Very annoying. There is something wrong in error handling. This happens every now and again. Sometimes 1st trial is successful but sometimes not... This whole sh.. is now error prone since the first days of Sonoma.

Try RustDesk. I play the Sharing Remote Management Remote Login Toggle game about 10 times a day. Here is my hourly scenario. 1. Mac Screen Sharing(easy file sharing), 2. Sharing Screen FREEZES., 3 RustDesk and toggle both Remote Management & Remote Login buttons. 4 Go back To Screen Share rinse and repeat. Very FRUSTRATING. fyi, does not belong in this post but the caps lock icon is horrid. I support 50 users, its 49-1 against it. I just wonder what Apple is thinking.
