iPhone not synching/connecting with iMac
I have an iPhone 13. My mac is older, Ventura 13.6.6. I connect my phone and the finder either does not recognize it. I did install the app as prompted. I checked my phone and it did not need an update. I just connected my phone and.... the system did not recognize it. I turned my phone off and on. The system recognized it but I was unable to sync or backup. I then got a prompt on my mac to update my phone. What? I had just checked the phone and the information was that it was up to date. So, now I am updating my phone from my computer.
This is becoming an annoying hassle as it happens frequently. What is going on with Apple and how can I just get the devices to just connect as I used to be able to do?
I would appreciate any help. Thanks so much.
