what to do if my wifi is too slow to download the update for my iphone that is disabled and needs to connect to itunes my iphone only stays in recovery mode for 15 mins but the update is going to take 60 mins
iPhone XR, iOS 14
I guess I've never tried that but I think it should work. If you let iTunes download the update, it shouldn't need the iPhone to be connected as it is downloading it to the computer, not the iPhone.
I guess you could run the experiment:
If the remaining time doesn't change in step 6, it means that the iPhone must stay connected.
Let me know how this works out.

its always this slow, can i connect my phone to itunes then pause the update before it disconnects then keep it dowenloading until nearly done then connect it back to itunes ? will this work ? or does the phone need to be connecting all the time for it to put it onto the phone ? im confused sorry for probably sounding dumb
Let me reassure you: there are no dumb questions on this forum and we are always happy to help.
Now, I'm the one confused: You talk about downloading an update and at the same time you mention that your phone is disabled and needs to be restored.
If you need to do both, you have to start with restoring your iPhone and, for this, you need to use iTunes and you must let it finish. You cannot disconnect your iPhone while it is being restored. Once you iPhone is restored, you can proceed with the update.
Now, the recovery mode doesn't use Wi-Fi as far as I know. So your Wi-Fi has nothing to do with the recovery process.
Could you confirm that my understanding of your situation is correct?
it says restore and update on itunes so i have clicked that now it is downloading a software update for the iphone but if i disconnect my phone after 15 mins then let the download continue and at the 10 min mark before it is finished can i connect back to itunes and finish it off or does my phone need to be connected for the whole time
I don't use iTunes (I'm on a Mac using Finder, instead) but once you reconnect your iPhone to iTunes and select it in the sidebar, you should see an update button somewhere on the screen. Typically, it should be in the upper right of the screen.
If your Wi-Fi speed is not normally that slow, restart your Wi-Fi router.
right so it downloaded the software update but it hasnt done anything to my iphone where would the download have went
You could also post a screenshot (without personal infos) of iTunes with iPhone selected. That would help me guide you.
im now getting a error occured (14) and it has be to be restored now thats what it says but when i do it error occurs me
wifi is too slow need help
