iTunes requires software update to connect to iPhone I have a 2012 MacBook Air running Mojave 10.14.6. I updated my iPhone XS to iOS 14.3 and now I can't connect my phone to iTunes. I get a message saying I need to do a Mac software update. The only update available is not an update but an UPGRADE to Catalina. I don't want to upgrade because I am still using some 32 bit software. What can I do?

iPhone SE 2020 is not recognized by iTunes 12.9.5.5 on Mojave 10.14.6 Hello I just bought an iPhone SE 2020 but iTunes 12.9.5.5 running on Mojave 10.14.6 does not recognize it. It is detected as an USB device (looking at system report). When connecting the iPhone (USB cable connecte to the mac mini) I have a window asking me to install a software on the computer. This installation fails: the software is not available on the update server... Please explain to me how to solve this problem.

Getting a message that I need to update my software in order to connect my brand new iPhone 14 Pro to my computer. My computer is running High Sierra 10.13.6. What does it want to update??? I am getting a message that I need to update my software in order to connect my brand new iPhone 14 Pro to my desktop computer. My computer is running High Sierra 10.13.6. My iTunes is v.12.8.3.1. It doesn't say what is getting updated. I wish it would tell me if it is the iTunes software or the OS that it wants to update. I did a lot of digging before I purchased the iPhone 14 Pro and it sounded like there would be no problem connecting the two and that iTunes v.12.8.3.1 would work. Arrrgh!!! Can anyone help me???
