Old iTunes 12.8.2.3 doesn't show iphone anymore after updating to iOS 17
I am running a very large iTunes library (12.8.2.3) on an old MacPro (Earl 2008) with El Capitan.
Syncing iPhones and iPads from 1st generation up to very recent ones was no problem up to now.
Now, after upgrading from iOS 16.7. to iOS /iPadOS 17.0.2, the devices doe not show up in iTunes anymore. They are recognized when plugged in, and transfer of pictures using image capture is possible - it just doesn't show up in iTunes. I worked through this (If your computer doesn't recognize your iPhone or iPad:) and I tried to reinstall iTunes 11.8.2 while the iPhone was plugged in, but to no effect.
Any ideas?
