Can't connect iPad to macOS Mojave

I used to be able to recognize iPad when working with Xcode and iTunes in previous versions of macOS.

Now I can no longer connect it. System Information does contain the device in USB list and the Image Capture application shows an "iPad" in the list, but nothing else can be done to it. Even iTunes can't see it.

What could be wrong?


Solution 1:

The first thing that could be wrong is not stepping through the guide to triage this:

The once iTunes can see the device, repeat for the next app if needed.
