iTunes crashing mid iPhone 8 update

Hey, so I got a new iPhone 8.

Updates my MacBook Pro and installed the new iTunes 12.7.4

backed up my iPhone 7.

The issue is every time I try to update my iPhone 7 half way through iTunes will close itself and I get a big notice stating “iTunes quit unexpectedly“

Due to the iPhone 8 having older software I can’t restore my 8 from my 7s backup so basically have nothing right now.


how can I fix this Issue?

See If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support. Try an over the air update if you cannot get iTunes to do it.
