This iPhone is open in another window

Hi there, I have just updated my Macbook Air to Ventura. When I plug my Iphone in and want to sync my music app I receive the message "this iphone is open in another window" even though there is no other window open. I have switched my iphone off/on and restarted my mac. Still the same.


I hope someone has an answer how to fix this.

I have found my own simple fix, I tried the relaunching finder doesn't work. so here it is


On the iTunes screen where you get the message "iTunes is open in another window". look to your left panel and where you see iTunes Store, click once to launch, let it load takes 2-3 seconds. no go back to your phone with 1 click and welcome to sync and control


has worked every time for the last 9 days for me, can't believe this simple trick works.
