Unable to update IOS through Itunes on windows I've been trying to update to the current IOS update (14.6) through itunes. It recognizes that there's a new update and asks me if I want to update to the current IOS. Itunes goes through the normal procedure though. It does download, however I always get an error code that even Apple does not have a known code/solution for it; the error message is "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be updated. An unknown error occurred (4000)." I've tried keeping my phone unlocked like some people have suggested. Although I've tried all the suggestions and none of them have worked. I tried on another computer, still the same thing. I've reinstalled Itunes multiple times. I'd rather go through Itunes on PC because it's much faster than downloading over wifi.

iPhone cannot be used because it requires a newer version of Windows My XS Max iPhone has been syncing fine with iTunes for Windows 12.10.4.2. Today, I tried syncing and I got "The iPhone "xxxx" cannot be used because it requires a newer version of iTunes....." I do have the latest version of iTunes installed. I downloaded 64-bit 12.10.4.2 again today and did a "re-install". I rebooted PC. I powered off and on the iPhone. I still get error. I wonder if it's related to the iOS 13.4 upgrade that got installed a few days ago? Anyone seeing the same issue or have any ideas on how I can fix? Thanks . . . . Brian

You need to install the current version of iTunes on your computer. You can download it from iTunes.com.

Maybe you would like to explain what is happening... "not working" is just a bit to vague for anyone to be able to make a meaningful suggestion...
