after updating my iPhone to OS 26 it does not appear in the finder when I plug it into my iMac to back it up
iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 26
Is your Mac updated to latest version of Mac OS? If so, specifically what version and what model iMac?
Yes.
It has now appeared after about 30 minutes of being connected so I need to close this thread, presumably it took the pair a significant time to get to know each other again immediately after the phone update!
Sorry to waste anybodies time.
I’m glad you were able to resolve the issue to your satisfaction. I hope you have a great rest of your weekend.
