I have an iPhone 12 mini and running latest version of Ventura. My computer won see the iPhone. How can I solve the problem?

thanx
 
Disconnect your iPhone from your Mac...
Go to Finder Settings.
Click on the Sidebar menu.
Under Locations, Click to un-select CDs, DVDs, and iOS Devices. (Box should be empty)
Click a second time, so a "√" appears in the box next to CDs, DVDs, and iOS Devices.
Now, connect your iPhone to your iMac.
Fixed?
 
I think the problem is with the connector in the iPhone, because my iPod works just fine. I tried charging with the cable and it wont show charging. 🙁

Thanx for your help.
 
Lightning connectors are infamous for collecting pocket lint inside. Try giving the one on your phone a gentle clean.
 
An Apple Store employee once cleaned the connector on my OG SE using a screen wipe wrapped around a toothpick. It worked. Compressed air dusters can work too, although there's the danger that could just blow the lint farther into the phone.

EDIT: if you use the toothpick method, be gentle, the connector conductors inside are fragile.

Thanx for the tip, that solved the problem. Apple store did it for free.
