iPad Pro Syncing not working

While syncing my iPad Pro 11" to Mac Mini 2012(late, updated to MacMojave latest) shows a message at the last stage (stage6, copying to MacMini HD) failed message - "unknown error (-54)". However I can sync my iPhone 6S without any hitch. What is the problem ? How do I fix this ?

Mac mini, macOS 10.14

The iPhone "[my device name]" cannot be synched -402636777 I'm trying to synch my iPhone via USB since upgrading to OS 12.2 Monterey. First, it takes two or three minutes for anything to appear in the Finder window after selecting the device. Then, when I select "Sync" I get the error message above. Side Note: Could you make that message any less informative or helpful? What's the use of an error message if it doesn't tell me what's going on and how I might fix the problem? Alternatively, I get an error message that reads: "The iPhone "[my device name]" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
