iPhone icon with question mark

Hello,


Since I have my new iPhone 13 Pro, I noticed that when I connect it to my Mac so sync my Music library, the iPhone icon has a question mark and on the sidebar, it just represents a file where before with my iPhone XS it would be an iPhone icon.

Anyone knows why or if it might cause issues in the future?

Hey there Darshada,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand you’re seeing a question mark on the iPhone icon in Finder on your Mac. We’ll be happy to help.


To verify, do you have any issues syncing any content from your Mac to your iPhone? What version of macOS do you have installed? If your Mac is not up to date, use the steps here to back up and update:
