When syncing my iPhone XS (iOS 15.2.1) to my Mac mini (Mac OS 12.2)...
I always get screenshot below in red
This is the Finder sync of the iPhone.
Takes a long time if it actually finishes
AppleTV and Music don't go red.
Mac mini, macOS 10.12
Being the Veteran one is please excuse the following if already attempted >>
1 - Safe Mode has it been tried and what were the results. Same issue or no issue ?
2 - No issue - some piece of Third Party software is playing up.
3 - Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac and log out to primary account and into the dummy account and test
4 - The Finder Not Responding is worrisome and not 100% certain how to fix it except to Force Quit and re-launch. Or perhaps Rebuild the Spotlight index on your Mac
5 - This one may appear as insulting to a Veteran of your Calibre and pardon me if it is >>
Suggest downloading the Application Etrecheck directly from a well Respected ASC Contributor. And Safe to use.
The application is free or paid from added features.
Run the application with Full Disc Access ( Security & Privacy - Full Disc Access ).
It will take a Snap Shot - both the hardware and software.

Any Third Party Applications that will interfere with the normal operation of the OS, alter, modify, remove or delete or attempt to do so is an invitation for disaster and may require a Reinstallation of the OS.

The The Built in Security is all that is required.
Have been helping another person on similar issue as yours. He / She may have some new insights worth reading about. In He / She situation found a solution albeit a fluke ?
Has this ever been presented when the two drives are connect via cable ?
???
What two drives?
The phone is recognized
Am I reading things incorrectly - the " Finder is Not Responding" in picture so assumed the Mac Mini and iPhone are cabled to one another ?
Not the case ?
Yes this is the case.
It is not two drives.
One is a Mac mini, one is an iPhone.
Devices -haha niece one Auto Correct & only one expresso is my excuse ;-)
Bye the way iOS 15.3 versus ( iOS 15.2.1 ) release Jan 26, 2022
Yes, the DEVICES (LOL) are connected via cable. It does the same on wifi though.
Thanks.
I have looked at all of that
The Finder is working fine.
It’s the interface between the iPhone and the Finder. The Finder is now used to sync the iPhone and not iTunes
Aside from what has been suggested what else have you done to try and fix this issue ?
Reinstalled the system
Restart iPhone and Mac
Disk First Aid
This happens on all users, not only mine.
Then this might be some sort of bug worth reporting.
Not too much more to add as constructive to this question.
Yes, I’ve reported it a couple of different ways but it takes forever and a day to get it done.
Thanks much!
iPhone sync to Mac
