I have a NAS on my home network which was working fine (I was backing up Time Machine to it) but all of a sudden I can no longer access it.

 

 

 

It shows in finder but when I click to open it, I get a popup that says "The operation could not be completed because the original item for "NAS" can't be found."

 

 

 

I Googled and found it is not unusual but nothing I found on the internet solved the problem. Most of the suggestions were for much older versions of Mac OS though - I am using 14.1.2

 

 

 

My first thought was to have the Mac forget the NAS and then re-map it but I cannot find an obvious way to do that either!

 

 

 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I've had this happen on occasion, and a restart of the Mac has always fixed it. The discovery is handled by Bonjour/mDNS so there's nothing to 'forget' or remap.

 

Failing that, you can try connect manually via the Go menu > Connect to server > smb://192.168.1.xxx/

Wouldn't be the first time Apple has deprecated support of an older version of a standard, e.g. smb

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Restart doesn’t change its response.

I’ll try the Go menu when I get home.
