iPhone only detected in iTunes if connected through external USB hub iPhone is not detected in iTunes and only charges if plugged in to PC using motherboard's USB ports. The "trust this device" dialogue appears every time on phone and accepting it doesn't do anything. I tried different cables still the problem persists. The only thing that works is if I connect my iPhone through an external USB hub it is detected in iTunes. Also the "trust this device" dialogue appears only for first connection by external hub.

iPhone not appearing in Finder When I connect my iPhone XR to my MacBook Pro USB port, the iPhone starts charging but it is blinking all the time in Finder and you can't select it to do backup, synch, or anything. I also don't get the trust this computer prompt on iPhone. Note that this happened with one of recent Mac OS updates as I used to be able to connect the same iPhone to the same Mac. Thanks, Michael

"Trust this computer" message flashing (IPhone Xr and MacBook Pro Retina 15) My iPhone continue flashing "Trust this computer" message all time when i try connect my phone to my MacBook Pro Retina 15 laptop. I found at last one way to fix this problem. Recharge your IPhone full battery and try again.. thats fix problem for me. Other way is use External USB hub to give more power your usb to recharge your phone same time when you use it on your laptop. Dont know if this is OSX bug or not. anyways.. What i found my OSX Console app messages, its tell me someting like USB power usage is too high, and its cut USB power down right away. Then its give USB power back on and then USB power limitter hit again same second.. and so on.. thats made my iPhone flashing that "Trust this computer" message all night long.. Hope this message help at last someone :) Ps. Sorry my poor english
