My computer recognizes that my iPhone X is connected. It shows up as a “drive,” and iTunes will let me back it up. But for some reason, it thinks there’s no pictures to import, and Explorer won’t let me get into the folders. “I updated my iPhone 11 Plus to the latest iOS 13.1 yesterday. But now, I found that my songs are not showing up on iPhone, even the purchases. How can I resolve this? Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!” The above user’s experience is not a rare issue.
