Error 3169 when trying to update iPhone 6S on iTunes using Windows 7. All softwares up to date.
iPhone 6s, iOS 10.2
That's usually cause by antivirus or firewall software that's interfering with the update process, or because the machine being used was previously used to attempt to jailbreak or hack an iOS device.
I kept getting error code 3196 when connected via USB or "not connected to the internet" when trying to update via Wi-Fi, when in fact I was connected. None of the "fixes" made sense as I had never had this problem before. Just for the heck of it I tried unplugging and repowering my router/modem, lo and behold all is well again. I've had this sort of thing happen before, i.e., have an app not see connection and yet be connected, POR, the WD-40/Duct Tape of the digital world. anyway, I hope this helps someone with this same 3169 issue. BTW I am running Win 10
How did u solve issue I've got error 3169?

That was not the error I was receiving but anyways, I was finally able to update phone.
Actually, I did go to that source, no help. My post was simply to give others that which worked for me.
