Cannot do an IOS update via Itunes. I have the latest Itunes, I have restarted by computer and my Iphone, but I continually get the error code 4000
OTA works, but what good is doing an Itunes backup to your computer if you cannot do the IOS update via your computer and Itunes. I am running Windows 10
Any suggestions?
iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 14
You can try turning off Find My iPhone before the update, then enable again afterwards. You can still backup and restore with iTunes even when you update OTA.

FWIW I see other threads suggesting that you need to turn off the device passcode before updating rather than signing out of Find My iPhone.

Turning off the Find My, restarting the iPhone, the Windows 10 PC and disabling the antivirus software did not help,. All attempts to update via iTunes still results in the unknown error 4000. With so many persons reporting the same problem across a wide spectrum of iPhone and iPad models I believe it is intentional by the developers at Apple.
I get the same error trying to update the iPad IOS via iTunes on our iPad on a different and much newer PC running Windows 10 and using a different Apple ID (it is my wife's'). The big difference is since this PC is all SSD and has plenty of memory, we get to the point of the unknown error of 4000 much quicker.
You're certainly not alone in seeing this issue, but I doubt it is deliberate. See Hanlon's razor.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions and beliefs in this Great Republic of the USA...... at least they used to be.
Where did I claim otherwise? I merely pointed out an alternative perspective, I didn't say you were forced to agree with me.
