My iPhone not showing in Finder on my Macbook with macOS Mojave. I tried going into Finder, clicking on Preferences, clicking the Sidebar tab, clicking the checkbox next to CDs, DVDs, and iOS Devices to check it if the box is empty. Unclicked the box, waited a few minutes and checked it again. My iphone still does not show up.

If you have not connected your iPhone to that computer before, you may get the message shown in this Apple article if you are running Mojave:
It was painstakingly written by the "Department of Obfuscation." Had it been written by normal people it would say,
"This update patches iTunes so you can continue to use iTunes to manage, back-up, and update your <iDevice> running iOS 14 or iPadOS 14 just like you did before. It WILL NOT change your operating system level and is a small, fast download and install."
I've installed it on both my Macs running Mojave without issue.

That's a feature of macOS Catalina, not Mojave! Just connect your iPhone to your MacBook and open iTunes to have access to your iPhone for backups etc. Just make sure your iPhone is unlocked! Hope this helps you! Regards, Ian.
Thank you so much. It worked perfectly. I would like to update to Catalina, but my Macbook is a 2012 and I'm afraid it would mess up my applications. I did upgrade my hard drive to 1T, so I have room. I just remember when I upgraded to Mojave, I had all kinds of problems. Again, thank you so much for your help.
