synchronization between devices

Hello. I connected the iPhone 14 to the Mac Mini, set it up and synchronized it in the settings and indicated the connection via Wi-Fi. When the cable is disconnected, the iPhone is visible in the Music and TV application. But it is not in the Finder application. In the Music application I press the synchronization settings button, the Finder program opens but the iPhone in There is no side menu. How can this be?

Mac mini, macOS 13.5

not sure I grok your issue?


connect the iPhone with the charging cable and compare your results.


Finder>Settings>Sidebar>iOS Devices




ref: If your device doesn't appear in the sidebar when connected ...



The current stable release of iOS including bug fixes, security updates is iOS 17.0.1

Yes, these settings are the same for me. I used to have an iTunes program. Now instead of it there are programs (finder. music. TV. etc.) when connected via cable, all these programs have an iPhone in the side menu. And I can synchronize. But when connecting via Wi-Fi The iPhone's file is visible only in the Music and TV application. In the Finder application it simply isn't there. It doesn't appear in the side menu. It's very strange. After all, in the Music application it is in the side menu. That means the Mac sees it. It should also appear in the Finder. Settings I have the finder programs as in the screenshot
