Restoring a new iPhone from backup fails with no error or message, why? I am trying to set up a new iPhone by restoring a backup of my old iPhone (which has a dead battery and cannot be charged because the lightning port does not work)
I selected to restore from backup on the iPhone and it shows the symbol to connect to my Mac.
I see the iPhone in the Finder and select it, and select &quot;restore from this backup&quot; and select the latest backup of the old phone.
I get the terms and conditions, agree to them, and click &quot;Continue&quot;
Then the Finder window immediately returns me to &quot;Computer&quot; view, the iPhone disappears from &quot;Locations&quot; in the left sidebar, and the phone returns to the image indicating it should be plugged in. I can unplug and plug the lightning cable back in and repeat the process but there's no change.
Unsure what to look for in the Console but a filter would help.
What's going on and how can I debug and fix this?
Performing a Mac OS X update (to 10.15.6 in this case) and then rebooting afterwards mysteriously solved this mysterious issue... I wish I had a better explanation for what happened, but I was not able to get any further information.
