synching iPhoneXR

I bought a new Dell Inspiron 17 3000 laptop and now my iPhoneXR has stopped synching. Is there a place I need to go to turn that setting on again?

iPhone to MacBook synch My finder window shows the iPhone synching and/or updating when using my laptop. It never seems to finish, but the progress indicator keeps turning. If I want to shut down the computer, I get a message that says there is an iOS operation in progress, so I can't shut down. If I really need to shut down, I need to do a hard reset, rather than the software shut down. The finder and iTunes are unresponsive to my request to stop the synch or to eject the iPhone. What can I do to resolve this?

iPhone is off but still shows in finder as syncing iPhone 11 Pro (ios 14.4) always shows as "syncing" in finder (Big Sur 11.2.2). This occurs even when turned off or not on the same network, i.e. away from home. I've tried turning of the sync/backup, turning off the phone and even force quit finder/reload and it is still there. So, in order to do updates which require a restart I have to turn my mini off by holding the power button because every time I try to restart via menus or after an update I get an error message saying an ios device is still being synced. Any ideas about to stop this? Thanks

I have iTunes on my computer. In the past when I plugged my phone into my laptop and it went to iTunes it automatically synched and now it isn't. I've clicked on the phone icon on the iTunes screen when it's connected but don't see anywhere to force a synch

Only a computer that has and uses iTunes.
