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.
With Ventura, the syncing and backing up functions have moved from iTunes/Music to the Finder. In a Finder window your phone will show up in the left hand sidebar as a device. Click on it and you'll see the familiar screens to sync and backup your phone.
It would be a lot nicer if Apple didn't keep changing how things are done, and if they are determined to do that, then explain the process in the error message rather than displaying a cryptic message that your iPhone is already open in another window.
This solution worked for our ancient iPod Shuffle.
Thanks for your input, might you help me learn where and which items need to be addressed?Thanks Dan
The problem keeps popping up - really ? . . . still ? . . . for how many years ?
