    Hey smithypga,

     

    I see you are a new user here in Apple Support Communities - welcome! I hope we find you contributing often in the future.

     

    I am sorry to hear you are having an issue with completing the upgrade to iOS 9, I am sure it is frustrating. In order to manage your iPhone running iOS 9 you will need to install a version of iTunes that will work with your operating system. One of these two will do it, depending on your version of Windows -

    iTunes 12.1.3 for Windows (32 bit)

    iTunes 12.1.3 for Windows (64-bit)

     

    Once the new version of iTunes is installed, I would suggest that you troubleshoot your iPhone issue using the steps in this article - If the Slide to Upgrade screen won't go away after you update to iOS 9.

     

    I would be very interested in learning how this turns out for you, please let us know if it works so other users may find a resolution. 

     

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    Happy computing.
