Hey there, samirmatter.


We understand that you aren't seeing your iPad Pro in Finder to be able to sync it while it is plugged into your MacBook Air. If you haven't already, you can try restarting both devices. It can seem like a simple step, but can sometimes help resolve issues.


You'll also want to make sure that you're following the steps as seen in the following article: Use the Finder to sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with your computer


You can also see if trying another cable may help and plug the cable directly into your MacBook Air. If possible, you can see if this happens with another device, which can help isolate if the issue is with the iPad Pro or the MacBook Air.


Let us know how that goes. Take care!
