Let me set this up as clearly as possible.
Iphone 7 plus red.
Macbook pro on high sierra
Cracked unresponsive screen on iphone
Has NEVER been plugged into this macbook, causing the delimma.
I need to restore the phone, it has never been plugged into this macbook so how do i get past the “trust this computer” issue when i need to respond to the macbooks inquiry on the phone?
Owner wants to sell me the phone, but cracked it while using so lcd and digitizer are dead. Needs to be signed out of icloud, which we will do at icloud.com and remove device. The only way to know it is on is by plugging it in, but it’s never been on my mbp and he doesn’t have a computer. I need to restore it, confirm it is working, etc.... all of which i can do IF it will connect, but i have no way to accept trust on the iphone.
A secondary reason for needing it to connect is that verizon says their iphones are unlocked above the 5s, but i need to confirm this one is as i use tmobile. A new screen is in route, but another user will buy it if I don’t tomorrow.
