As noted, for iOS 12 you need iTunes 12.8.0.150 or better running on OS X 10.11.4 or better. See How to upgrade to OS X El Capitan - Apple Support if required.

Assuming a suitable version of iTunes is in place then in Finder use the menu item Go > Go to Folder..., copy the following text, paste it into the dialog box and press enter:


/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework/Versions/Current/Resources


Unlock your device and connect it to USB. Double click on MobileDeviceUpdater in the folder that has opened. It should notify you of a software update. Install it and iTunes should hopefully recognize your device.

From your screenshot you OS X 10.7.5 Lion and you stated you have a MacBook pro early 2011 13 inch, therefore according to How to upgrade to OS X El Capitan - Apple Support you machine is capable or running OS X 10.11.x El Capitan at the very least. According to How to upgrade to macOS High Sierra - Apple Support you should be able to upgrade to macOS 10.13.x High Sierra, although not directly from Lion.
