MacOS High Sierra
Hello, I use: iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2017
Computer detects as a iPhone but iPhone does not appear at the iTunes screen
I said "trust this computer" and entered my password, nothing appeared.
I used a new usb cable and nothing.
I tried Windows iTunes, everything fine
No update for iTunes.
Please help me solve this problem
Screenshots when iPhone is plugged in
iMac 27″, macOS 10.15
For iOS 12 you need iTunes 12.8.0.150 or better running on OS X 10.11.4 or better. See How to upgrade to OS X El Capitan - Apple Support if required. iOS 13 & 14 require iTunes 12.8.2.3 or above.
Assuming a suitable version of iTunes is in place then in Finder use the menu item Go > Go to Folder..., copy the following text, paste it into the dialog box and press enter:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework/Versions/Current/Resources
Unlock your device and connect it to USB. Double click on MobileDeviceUpdater in the folder that has opened. It should notify you of a software update. Install it and iTunes should hopefully recognize your device.

Hi,
Are you using High Sierra or Catalina? If Catalina, Use the Finder to sync your iPhone, iPad or iPod with your computer – Apple Support
If you are using High Sierra, why have you not upgraded?

I do not know why you asked me why I did not update.
Anyways, I just want to stay on High Sierra because of performance problems
I use high sierra
I said "trust this computer" and entered my password, nothing appeared.
Hello, what does this do? It updates but it updates what? Like iOS 14 or MacOs Catalina?
