Hey there coffeecup51, 


We see you have some questions about the message you are receiving. You came from a great resource, which fully explains why you are seeing this message, and what you next steps would be.


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


Click Install to download and install the software so your Mac can update or sync your iOS device. If you continue to see this alert, make sure that your software on your Mac and iTunes are up-to-date.


Have a good one!
