Cannot backup my iPhone to my iMac

Can anyone tell me why I cannot back my iPhone to my iMac anymore? Every time I try I get this message and my iPhone is connected.


iPhone X, iOS 13

Pocket lint in the port can be an issue.

A compressed air blowout or a very gentle sweep of the port with a toothpick may remove anything lodged in it.

And I'm sure that Apple suggest that you never ever put anything into the port that isn't a cabe, so you do this at your own risk.
