iPhone Mirroring "Timed Out"

Interesting... I don't have it on, _but_ I'm on a managed machine that has other stuff I'm not 100% familiar with running. It is some of that 'stuff' that is causing it, since my personal machine = no problem, so could be firewall / port management stuff happening.

I would just like to point out that all of the security companies mentioned in that article, including the one that recently took down most of the internet and then sent people invalid $10 Uber Eats gifts cards as an apology, have had access to macOS Sequoia since early June. Maybe they should have tested their products in June, July, August, or early September even.

Granted, the built-in firewall is a different story entirely. Apple didn't test that. But then again, Apple doesn't turn it on by default either - nor should anyone else.

It did work for me! thanks! adding to that keep on mind if you changed your phone recently, you will i have to change the iPhone you want the mirroring app takes, you do that in the settings- Widget and below pick the iphone you want to be connected to.

Similar for me - Rebooting my phone did not solve this. All I had to do was set my wifi to Rotating Private on my iPhone 14 Pro Max and it would connect to my MacBook Pro M1 Max and it connected. (the Mac was on Fixed). Then I switched the Mac to "Rotating" and it continued to work. Thank You!

If you are signed into a corporate VPN, it will block the iPhone mirroring, as it doesn't know how to reach the iPhone's IP address. Works fine when VPN is disconnected, but doesn't work when my corporate VPN is connected. It would be better if this was done via Bluetooth

Worked for me but I had to add the steps from @PG3474: Unsure why that made the difference for me. Hope this 'belt and suspenders' combination of steps works for someone else too.

1. Switch Private Wi-Fi address setting to Rotating on both devices (located in Wi-Fi settings, then by tapping the (i) symbol next to your network name on iPhone, and the 'Details' button on Mac OS)
2. Shut down iPhone*
3. Quit iPhone Mirroring on Mac (my example is an M1 Macbook Air)
4. Restart iPhone. Enter your PIN on iPhone if it asks
5. Launch iPhone Mirroring on Mac

*My iPhone was plugged in to my Mac to top off the battery, unsure if this made a difference in the devices handshaking with each other more easily or not. I realize that creating a wired connection between the two devices defeats the purpose of iPhone mirroring for developers and product designers, but I'm just a goober who wants to sometimes play Balatro in a side window or other nonsense.

thank you Sir, it worked for me

iPhone restart worked for me (MacBook Pro 2018 Sequoia, iPhone 15 Pro iOS 18)

The solution I found was to turn off / on the Bluetooth on my iPhone.

This is my setup

Intel Mac Mini Sequoia + IOS 18 iPhone 13 Mini = mirroring works

M3 Pro Sequoia + IOS 18 iPhone 13 = mirroring works

Intel Mac Mini Sequoia + IOS 18 iPhone 16 Pro Max = mirroring works

M3 Pro Sequoia + IOS 18 iPhone 16 Pro Max = DOES NOT WORK, TIMED OUT

For reference, when its timed out, the universal clipboard does not work too.

I solved this by logging out from the M3 and login in again. I was afraid hesitant to do this earlier, expecting issues with file sync. But it's smoothly sync again and better.
