Plugged my iPhone 10 (All Updated) to my iMac an it says that "A software update is required to connect to iPhone - - What exactly is the update?

Hello there!

See>>>If you see "Software update is required to connect to your iOS device" on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Hi and thank you. I started there, but because every time I tried to download that update the notification froze with the attempted download at the starting line, it didn't help me. And this has happened numerous times in the past few days, so I feel like I'm just spinning my (and my devices') wheels here.

Usually iTunes update or carrier update.

We think the Apple knowledge base articles are very useful.

As this thread was not started by you, you cannot award kudos and therefore you should not criticise either.

Start your own discussion with your own symptoms. Then you will get help.

Thank you for line 1. Still, it doesn't tell me what Apple wants to install.

I don't agree with line 2.

I have no knowledge of or interest in 'kudos' in this context. My criticism was of Apple's obscure dialogue boxes.

If the purpose of this forum is to assist users, it is pointless and counterproductive to multiply existing discussion threads.

Hey there,

See ☞ If your iPad won't turn on or is frozen - Apple Support

I left my I pads when it required updates now is jammed and it doesn't show on the screen if I charged it keeps flipping on and of .what do I do now

Hey there,

from the article above:

If you continue to see this alert, make sure that your software on your Mac and iTunes are up-to-date.

And being a Mac User I hope you have no antivirus, VPN or security software on the Mac.

This Apple-recommended response is not useful. It does not disclose what you are being told to download - for example - is it an OS update, how big is it, etc. More transparency please Apple.

If you want help I gave you advice.
