Thank you. All settings are in place, both iMac and iPhone logged in - still, sometimes the iMac sees the iPhone, sometimes it does not. This iMac is weird. I bought it in dec last year. It struggles to render a small video in photoshop (adobe checked with me the settings in adobe), it cannot import a single photo from a Nikon card - while the old 2013 model iMac does all of the above effortlessly. I have mackeeper installed. I ran all sort of tests. nothing wrong. just weird
