New iPhone 12 Pro iTunes Permissions?

So Ive never experienced this issue with any of my Apple devices, but for some reason my new iPhone 12 Pro will not connect to iTunes... Ive watched multiple "fix" videos on YT to no avail....

I am running the latest versions of iTunes, Mac OS, & iOS... restarted both devices and nothing.

Heres whats happening:

Open iTunes...

Plug in iPhone with brand new Apple lighting cord ( I've tried multiple cords)...

I get the "Trust This Computer" notification on my phone to which I click "Trust"...

iPhone ask for my passcode and I enter it...

I get a notification from iTunes "Do you want to allow this computer to access information on this iPhone?" and I click "Continue"...

Then I get the "To allow access, please respond on your iPhone"

I hit "Trust" again, and enter my passcode...

Get "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. You do not have permission." message...

Not sure whats happening here.

Help!
