Troubleshooting Vision Pro and MacBook Connection Issues
If you’re having trouble connecting your Vision Pro device to your MacBook after pairing, you’re not alone. These issues are particularly common in environments where Wi-Fi networks are frequently changed or if your organization uses a VPN. Fortunately, there are straightforward steps you can follow to resolve this problem.
Steps to Overcome Connection Issues:
- Network Check: Ensure that your Vision Pro remains connected to the network you intend to use. Make sure that this network is not blocked by a VPN and that both your Vision Pro and MacBook can connect to it.
- Restart Your MacBook: Begin by restarting your MacBook to refresh its network settings and connections.
- Disable Wi-Fi: Once your MacBook has restarted, turn off the Wi-Fi temporarily. This step helps to clear any potential network conflicts or issues.
- Wait for Startup Processes: Allow all startup applications to complete their processes. This ensures that your system is fully ready for new network connections.
- Reconnect to the Network: After the startup processes are complete, reconnect your MacBook to the same network that your Vision Pro is connected to.
- Open Xcode: Launch Xcode and navigate to “Devices and Simulators.” Your Vision Pro should now appear and connect within Xcode.
By following these steps, you should be able to establish a stable connection between your Vision Pro and MacBook.
However, if you continue to face issues, it could be due to an incompatible Wi-Fi type for Apple devices. In such cases, you can consider purchasing a “USB Developer Strap” for the Vision Pro. This strap makes it easy to swap out the right strap of the AVP, providing a wired connection that might resolve any lingering connectivity issues.
These steps aim to provide a clear and comprehensive guide for users experiencing this common issue, ensuring that even those in corporate environments with complex network setups can find a solution.
