"A software update is required to connect to your iPhone" All of my software is up-to-date, but I'm still getting this message every time I connect my iPhone to my iMac! When I click "install," it download software, but then it says "Installation Failed." I just tried resetting my phone entirely, and that didn't solve the problem. The next step is to reset my iMac, but I really don't want to do that if I don't have to. Has anyone else run into this? (By the way, it happens for both my iMac and my Studio, and it happens for both my iPhone and my wife's iPhone, and it seems to have been around since we updated to Monterey.)

Software update for connecting iphone to Mac When I try to connect my iphone XR to my Mac I get a notice saying a software update is required. When I click on "Install" I get a popup that says "Installing." The progress bar is already filled in and it just sits there. I've left it up for over thirty minutes and nothing seems to happen. Any solutions? Thanks.
