iOS 10 update error

I updated my iPad Pro 9.7 and iPhone 6s and both devices now request to connect to iTunes. Once connected, I get a message that an error has occurred and that a restore is necessary. It reverts back to iOS 9.3.5

This is the first time this happens.

What is doing on?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 10, null

If you haven't updaetd iTunes to 12.5.1 then it'll only offer to restore devices to 9.3.5 If you then try and update iTunes from within iTunes it hits the overloaded servers so the quick workround is to download fresh copy of iTunes from the Apple website and install. It then offers a restore to iOS 10.0.1.


Hope this helps
