im trying to connect my iphone to my mac and it keeps bouncing back and forth between connected and not connected.

im trying to connect my iphone to my mac and it keeps bouncing back and forth between connected and not connected. The “trust this computer” pop up comes up and goes away. All software is up to date and I’ve restarted my phone and computer. I’ve also tried multiple cables. My phone is seen in finder. How do I connect my phone to my Mac?

iPhone 11

Dust bunnies.


Ensure that there is no pocket lint or debris in the Lightning port of the iPhone. Several gentle puffs of compressed air from a can and a gentle sweep of the port with a toothpick is all that is necessary to clear it of any junk that may interfere with the cable connections.
