I want to back up my new iphone 12 on my work computer using the finder.
I am in Mojave. I tried unclicking and reclicking Locations CDs, DVDs, and iPods a few times. Tried restarting the computer as well.
My iphone connects to computer as show in UHB settings and charges but does not show up in Finder Locations
iMac, macOS 10.13

Using the Finder to backup iOS devices did not come in until Catalina 10.15. That is shown in this Apple article:

I am managing four iPads, two running the latest iPadOS version on Mojave and they do it just fine though iTunes. You may see the download advisory shown in this Apple article:
it is OK to download it. It WILL NOT change your base OS to a higher version. It is a small file that patches iTunes to do backups, synching, and update just like before. After patching, this is from my iMac running Mojave and one of the iPads running iPadOS 14:

thank you
Did this happen after the 2020-005 SecUpd for Mojave?

Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup).
Seems to fix about 90% of the problems.
