When connecting my iPhone to my computer I accidentally clicked "don't trust" on the computer How can I re-establish "trust" between the two devices? The iPhone trusts the computer, but the computer will not trust the iPhone. I've restarted both devices. I have the iPhone connected to the iMac by USB for updating the back-up of the iPhone. As an experiment I tried connecting the two with AirDrop and successfully transferred photos from the phone to the computer. The desktop runs macOS Sonoma v. 14.4 I've updated the iPhone to iOS 17.4

Open Finder, go to Settings/Sidebar and make sure all boxes are checked. Then connect the phone and wait; it should appear within 30 seconds or so.

I know it should. It doesn’t. Very annoying.
