iPhone always asks to trust computer iPhone 6 (iOS 12.5.5) always asks to trust computer when connected via usb. The setting never sticks and I get the prompt every time. I have turned off and restarted both the iPhone and computer (iMac - Mac OS 12.4).

The trust my computer box keeps flashing and won't take my choice I connected my new iphone 14 running ios 16.1.2 to my Macbook Pro (2015 model) running MacOS Monterey 12.6.1. This is the first time they are connected via the USB cable. The dialog box whether to trust the computer keeps flashing on my iphone. It won't stay long enough for me to definitively touch either of the buttons (Trust or Don't Trust). I still tried to be quick on touched the Trust button several times but it doesn't take my choice. I saw a suggestion to Reset my Location & Privacy settings but that didn't help. I am stuck. Please help.

Your iPad8 is capable of update to iPadOS 18.x. Once updated to the most recent supported version of iPadOS, you will be able to seek assistance, should it still be required, from Apple Support.
