iTunes out of date and iPhone locked

iTunes on my MacBook Pro is iOS 10.7.5, and my old iPhone 7 was locked by my son. I’m unable to update iTunes and sync them. I tried connecting it to my 2020 MacBook Air and it prompts me to unlock my phone. I’m stuck. My priority is to keep the photos on the phone. Is there a workaround to fix this? Thank you!

iPhone 7, 11

On your 2020 MacBook Air follow the steps at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203122 if you know the correct passcode for the iPhone.


If the update steps don’t allow you to enter in the correct passcode and it stays on the disabled screen you will have to restore following https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204306
