Cannot sync iPhone 6 to Macbook Air M1

I am trying to sync my iPhone 6 to a Macbook Air M1. It has synced a few times but it is intermittent and recently it simply does not sync. The iPhone 6 appears in Finder named correctly but the window just shows "Loading" with the rotating 'hourglass' symbol forever. I have tried the following:

Cleaning socket in iPhone
Both USB-C ports on the Macbook
A new USB-C to Lightning cable
Resetting privacy options on iPhone 6
Ensuring iPhone 6 and Macbook OSes are up-to-date

Nothing seems to work. Any help appreciated.

I thought the MacBook Air was up-to-date as it was set to have automatic updates, however it turns out if was still on Big Sur. I have now upgraded to Ventura and it seems to be working OK now.
