Describe the issue

I have a Roon Server running on a pretty loaded brand new M4 Mac Mini and everything with the application had been fine, but recently it sits and spins and I have to Force Close it. I Uninstalled Roon and Reinstalled, and still had this issue. At the current moment, I cannot get the Roon MacOS app to load at all. I submitted Logs last night.

Hey @andrew.mueller8,

Thanks for taking the time to write in, and I’m sorry to hear about the connectivity issues you are having with your new Mac!

The first place I’d investigate would be your Mac firewall - if you temporarily disable it, are you able to connect? It may be good to double-check you have the proper permissions for Roon and Roon Server - here’s more info:

Be sure to restart Roon and Roon Server (and potentially reboot your Mac) and let me know if you run into the same issue. Thank you!
