[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1823879, member: 83420"] If all you want to do is update the iOS, you can achieve that without using iTunes at all. Make sure that your iDevice is connected to a direct power source. Also make sure that you are in a strong Wi-Fi signal environment. Then, as others have hinted, go into Settings, then General, then Software update. You can update the device over the air (OTA). It may take some time given how out of date your iOS is. You don’t need iTunes. Afterwards, if you wish to do so, you can backup your device to iCloud assuming you have enough storage space available. For future reference, you can bypass iTunes another way, but that costs money. You could purchase iMazing 2. This does everything that iTunes can do, and more. Ian [/QUOTE]
