I’m using an iPad Air 5 (with M1 and Thunderbolt) and connect it with my Macbook Pro 14" (M1).
However sometimes my Macbook would be recognized sometimes not.
I get a “blue cloud with dot” but my Macbook ist shown offline in Storage Locations (Speicherorte)/ Local Network (Lokales Netzwerk).
What could be the reason. That is really annoying.
Apple has these suggestions. I’m also guessing you have Sonoma installed. Perhaps check that both iOS and MacOS versions are up to date. Also try a different wire as the connectors/wire may be broken or otherwise unreliable.
Indeed, thanks. I actually thought that every M1 device supported Thunderbolt. Learned something again! Thank you.
Nevertheless, it should still synchronize via cable, just a bit slower, correct?
