iPhone recognized but does not sync.

I connect my iPhone XR to my iMac, it recognizes the device but the Music Library does not load, all I get is a spinning wheel and that goes for Finder.

If I remember correctly Music/iPhone worked fine after I upgraded to Catalina but not since the last update.


Could anyone help


Cheers Mike


iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015)

Catalina 10.15

Music Version 1.0.0.426
