Hey 13_leaveramy,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that when you connect your iPhone to a computer with iTunes you're seeing a prompt to "Trust This Computer" and are unable to unlock your device and tap trust. I am happy to help get you pointed in the right direction toward a resolution.


Base on the details you provided, I would recommend using another cable to see if the issue persists. I also recommend using another USB port if one is available.


Lastly, you can find some additional steps to take when iTunes isn't recognizing your iPhone here: If iTunes doesn't recognize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod


Cheers!
