iTunes asked me if I wanted to download and update the newest iOS version 10.1.1 for my iPhone and I agreed. The installation was successful, but right after updating completed iTunes asks me again if I want to update to the same version. Out of curiosity I click Update, but nothing happens. I remember this happening several times before. Why would iTunes do this?
iPhone 6s
So today iTunes asked me if I wanted to update my iPhone's operating system to iOS 10.2.1. I said yes, but iTunes replied with an unknown error '-50', twice (because the dialog showed up twice for some reason). After these errors iTunes shows an error saying it can't find my iPhone, even though it's firmly connected to the computer. Also, my iPhone is listed in iTunes' devices, so either the device list or the error dialog is lying to me. When trying to sync from the device view I get the same error. I unplug and replug the cable and now I'm able to sync again, so apparently iTunes just can't keep track of connected devices.
So I updated. And guess what? Shortly after, with my iPhone unplugged from the computer, iTunes asks me if I want to update it yet again.
I wish someone at Apple would take note of how painful using iTunes is getting year by year. More issues keep arising among new features than what the developers are able to fix. It's been the trend for past several years, and seems to continue that way.
I have the similar problem. I updated iphone to 10.1.1, but itune keeps askingme "a new iphone software verion 10.1.1 is available for the iphone xxxxxx. would you likke to download it and update your iphone now?
I hope Apple should be responsible to the quality of your software release. It created lots of headache to users!
ITunes keeps asking me to update to 10.0.01? - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7762860?answerId=31023520022#31023520022 - Same version number but different build numbers.
Why does iTunes ask me to update my iPhone after updating my iPhone?
