To step

1. Connect your device to a computer. Use your charging cable to connect via a USB port.
   • Your computer does need its own internet connection. A hotspot alone is not enough.
2. Launch iTunes on your computer. The desktop icon is pink with a musical note in it.
   • Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer.
   • If you don't have iTunes yet, you can download and install it first.
3. Click on the phone icon. You can find this at the top left of the page, just below the menu bar.
4. Click Search for updates. This can be found on the right, under the heading with the name of your device.
   • If the latest update is already installed on your device, you will see a pop-up with this message.
5. Click Download and Update.
6. Click Give Consent. With this you agree to the terms of use. Your computer will now start downloading and installing the new iOS on your device.
   • After installing the update, the Apple logo will appear on your device. Make sure that you do not disconnect from the computer during the update.
   • In general, this process takes between 45 minutes and an hour. iTunes shows a progress bar with an estimate of the time remaining.
7. Enter your device password when prompted. Your phone or iPad is now running on the latest operating system.
   • After an important update, you sometimes need to go through a few more steps when you log in for the first time.
