Hello rz5478,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you are unable to update your iPhone via computer because there is not enough available space.


This error is referring to your computers hard drive. You may need to free up space.


If you have access to a strong Wi-Fi network, you can also try updating your iPhone through the Settings app: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Cheers!
