iPhone unavailable, back up

Hello,

My iPhone is stuck on "iPhone unavailable" mode. before I erase all off the data I want to back up the pictures from the computer. (It's important cause I didn't have enough space for back up earlier). The computer doesn't recognize my device because of the block. Is there another way?

iPhone SE, iOS 15

Unfortunately, you are not going to be able to do anything until you reset/erase the phone and then set it up again. Hopefully, you have a recent backup that you can use to restore the phone once you have it up and running again.


f your iPhone is running iOS 15.2 or higher........you can use the instructions linked just below:
