you may have a charging-only cable (good for privacy), or a duff cable.
I confess that the notion that a legitimate "Universal Serial Bus" cable would not, you know, actually transfer data ... well, that never occurred to me. But an Internet search quickly disabused me of my naïveté... even though it still seems to me akin to buying a box labelled "Corn Flakes" that contains neither corn nor flakes.
So I went out and purchased a USB-to-USBC cable that explicitly stated on the packaging that it was for transferring data (and, as it happens, power); connected the phone to the computer using the new cable and... magically, pop-ups immediately appeared on both the phone and the computer. So I'm sure I'll be able to figure things out from this point.
Thank you very much for the hint. Doc -- Web: http://enginehousebooks.com/drevans
