Updated my Mac to Sequoia 15.0.  I have lost all music from my libraries.

 

I re-added the path- no luck.

 

Anyone experience this?

I didn’t lose my path. I’m getting “access denied”. (Back to using Bluetooth through ITunes).

I’ve restarted, sharing is the same, etc,etc.

 


Make sure Sonos has permission under Privacy & Security > App Management

 


Thanks Todd G and AJTRek1.

I added Sonos under App management with no luck.

The path is there and accurate.  However, there are no songs, artists, playlists, etc. in SONOS now.  There must be a conflict with Sequoia and SONOS.

 


AJRek1: Yes, I had previously checked. Thanks though.

gmbardman: Yes, I’m inclined to think a “conflict”. All other apps fine after update. SONOS worked fine prior.

So SONOS, if you’re listening.


Same thing just happened to me. I updated the Mac on which I store my music library, and now its Sonos S1 Controller app can’t find my Sonos system, nor can my Sonos system play anything from my music library.

ToddG, what do you mean? Can you get Sonos to play via Bluetooth somehow, or do you mean giving up on Sonos?


Hey Todd G,

I contacted SONOS support and got through immediately!

I spoke to a support rep who was phenomenal and he was able to get my library back.  I am not sure what all he did bit it seems my music is actually stored in iTunes not Music.  It worked with Music in the path prior.  Very strange.  He had to turn off firewall to get iTunes to update in file sharing.  Once he added it and updated path in SONOS, it started indexing.  I turned firewall back on with no issues.

 


My Mac firewall is already off. My problem isn’t that my music library is empty, it’s that Sonos can no longer contact the Mac (which worked until the Sequoia update) and that the Sonos S1 Controller on the Mac can no longer find the Sonos system (which worked until the Sequoia update).

 

This problem remains unsolved.


Update,

I contacted SONOS. Got an agent within 10 minutes. Somehow he reset my music path. It looks a little different but worked. So, I suggest contacting them. I had success and am able to play local music now.


ToddG- That is awesome.  I don’t like that SONOS requires full disk access but they may be a function of Sequoia.  I turned it off and immediately received the denied message.  Full disk reminds of the Su command.  Glad you are back in business!  


I lost my link to the MacOS Music library as soon as I updated to Sequoia.  I did multiple attempts at re-linking after making sure I had set the Sonos app to have all the permissions noted above including full disc assess. No luck, so I called Sonos.

The only thing that we did that fixed it was to delete all the previous sharing of the Music folder and then restarting sharing.  Now works fine…

Sequoia and Sonos are all in the latest versions.


Since the Sequoia update, OS Version 15.0.1 (24A348), Sonos S1 controller no longer works.  I’ve lost connection to the library. I tried everything I could think of including reinstalling, checking all of the above things… Nothing works!  The system shows up on my phone app.  So frustrating. My Sonos is dead at the moment.  Does anyone have an actual solution to this problem? 

Every time there is an update it seems there is a new problem with Sonos.  This is the worst though!

 

 


My wife updated her Imac to Sequoia a few days ago and is now experiencing the exact same thing. I have tried all the things mentioned above over the last hour and still could not get it to work. She just went into system settings, privacy security, local network,  and toggled sonos off and on, then restarted the sonos app, and now it just connected. Thank goodness!


This worked for me (Sequoia 15.1)

System Settings 

Privacy & Security 

Full Disk Access

Add; Sonos S1 Controller 

Add: SonosLibraryServer

Add: Music (may not be necessary)

Make sure all are On

Had migrated to a new Mac mini, Sequoia from Catalina. Needed to go through all the system settings. Had a live chat with Sonos yesterday on this, may want to include this in your hints to resolving this type of problem on macOS Sequoia
