Hi Grampus523,


Thanks for posting in Apple Communities.


For connecting iPhone, make sure that your computer is running the latest software. If you have security software installed, temporarily disable it. Also, try connecting to a different port. We have included additional steps below.


Make sure that your iOS or iPadOS device is turned on, unlocked, and on the Home screen.
Check that you have the latest software on your Mac or Windows PC. If you're using iTunes, make sure you have the latest version.
If you see a Trust this Computer alert, unlock your device and tap Trust. If you can't unlock your device because you forgot your passcode, find out what to do.
Unplug all USB accessories from your computer except for your device. Try each USB port to see if one works. Then try a different Apple USB cable.*
Restart your computer. 
Restart your iPhoneiPad, or iPod touch.
Follow these additional steps for your Mac or Windows PC
Try connecting your device to another computer. If you have the same issue on another computer, contact Apple Support.


You can find these and additional steps in If your computer doesn't recognize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod.
