iPad is not recognized by Mac/Music When I connect my iPad to my iMac via USB it does not show up in the Music app or the desktop. I've turned on and off both machines, tried different cables and ports, updated all software on both devices, etc. My iPhone connects just fine. When I run a system report the UBS shows the iPad connected but it does not show up in the Finder or Music app or anywhere else.

Finder sidebar will not show any devices I wanted to add new music to my iPhone 8 using my new MacBook air. But I find that no devices will show up in the Finder sidebar. I plugged in my external hard drive and its icon appears on the desktop but it does not show up in the sidebar. System report shows both the iPhone and the hard drive are connected. Tried Finder prefs, changing cables, changing USB ports, restarting, upgrading software, all the common fixes. Nothing. Spent an hour on the phone with Apple Support, went through all the steps again, finally they had me reinstall MacOS on the MacBook. Still nothing. I'm beginning to think it's a glitch in Ventura. Any thoughts?
