You need to unlock the device before connecting to USB, then trust the computer if prompted.

I do not have permission to sync new iphone to iTunes I have the latest version of iTunes according to my mac (12.6) and a new iPhone 13 mini but every time I ask it to trust this computer and put my passcode in it says I don't have permission to do so. What steps can I try besides updating my mac software? I've tried turning both phone and computer off then on again, putting the cable in both USB slots, swapping my USB cable (which are both apple) and putting this in both USB slots, disabling/enabling content and privacy. I don't know what else I can try besides maybe uninstalling/installing iTunes which I may not have space for on this mac. Could it be that I need to update my itunes to 12.8 which I don't have the space for on here. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
