On a Mac running macOS Sierra, you need to use iTunes.

Starting with macOS Catalina, the Finder replaces iTunes to sync your iOS device with your Mac.

Welcome to Apple Support Community!


First troubleshooting step I would recommend, is updating to the latest version of macOS that is available for you.


If your computer doesn't recognize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204095


> Make sure that your iPad is on and unlocked while plugged into the Mac.

> Check Mac and iPad for a "trust this device" message. Click Trust

> Restart iPad and Mac.


Hope this helps ;)
