Troubleshooting: Cannot Connect to the Mac

Go Up to iOS Mobile Application Development

To resolve this problem, look at these areas:

1. Have you activated the iOS target platform?
2. Is your Mac running and connected to the network?
3. Is the Platform Assistant installed and running on the Mac?
4. Do you have a Connection Profile that describes your Mac?
5. Does 'Test Connection' succeed on the Connection Profile Manager?
6. Have you installed an SDK for this iOS device in the SDK Manager?
7. Check the Build tab of the Messages view for any possible error and go to Warning Messages on Messages View for further information.

Note: If you get a different error, select the error message on the Build tab and press F1 to open the help for that error.

Tip: If you see the message "Connection closed gracefully," the solution is to reboot the Mac in order to enable subsequent connections.
