Updating iphone software on computer

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Learn how to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.

You can update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS wirelessly.

If you’re using iOS or iPadOS 14.5 or later, you might now see the option to choose between two software update versions. This option allows you to choose between updating to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS 15 as soon as it’s released, or continuing on iOS or iPadOS 14 while still getting important security updates for a period of time.

If you can’t see the update on your device, you can update manually using your computer. Learn how to update your device manually if you’re using a Mac with macOS Catalina or later, or if you’re using a Mac with macOS Mojave or earlier or a Windows PC.

Before you update

Back up your device using iCloud or your computer.

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch wirelessly

If a message says that an update is available, tap Install Now to update now. Or you can tap Later and choose Install Tonight or Remind Me Later. If you tap Install Tonight, just plug your device into power at night, and your device will update automatically overnight.

You can also follow these steps:

1. Plug your device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi.
2. Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update.
3. If you see two software update options available, choose the one that you want to install.
   
4. Tap Install Now. If you see Download and Install instead, tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, then tap Install Now. If you don’t know your passcode, learn what to do.

You might see that your device is up to date on its current version, and there’s an update available. For example, even if your device is up to date on the latest version of iOS 14, there might be an option to update to iOS 15.

If you see an alert when updating wirelessly

Some software updates aren’t available wirelessly. VPN or proxy connections might prevent your device from contacting the update servers.

If you need more space when updating wirelessly

If a message asks to temporarily remove apps because the software needs more space for the update, tap Continue to allow apps to be removed. After installation is complete, those apps are automatically reinstalled. If you tap Cancel instead, you can delete content manually from your device to add more space.

Customize automatic updates

Your device can update automatically overnight while it’s charging. Here’s how to turn on automatic updates:

1. Go to Settings > General > Software Update.
2. Tap Automatic Updates, then turn on Download iOS Updates.
3. Turn on Install iOS Updates. Your device will automatically update to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS. Some updates might need to be installed manually.
   

Upgrading to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS software provides the latest features, security updates, and bug fixes. Not all features are available on all devices or in all regions. Battery and system performance may be influenced by many factors including network conditions and individual use; actual results may vary.

If iTunes can’t contact the software update server for iPhone, iPad, or iPod

Learn what to do if iTunes can’t contact the software update server when you try to restore or update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod.

When you use iTunes to update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod, you might see an alert message that says iTunes could not contact the software update server because you’re not connected to the Internet. It will advise you to make sure your Internet connection is active and try again. Follow the steps below to fix the issue.

Update or restore your iOS device without using iTunes

You need to use iTunes to update or restore your iOS device if you forgot your password and are locked out, or if your device is in recovery mode.

If that’s not the case, you can update or restore without iTunes using these steps:

1. Disconnect the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from your computer.
2. On the device, turn on Wi-Fi. We recommend that you connect to a network, not a personal hotspot, when you download software updates.
3. Update the device by going to Settings > General > Software Update.

If this doesn’t fix the issue, go to the next solution.

Connect to the Internet and the iTunes Store

Open a browser on your computer and see if it can load a webpage. Then, try to connect to the iTunes Store.

• If you can’t connect to the Internet, contact your computer administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for help. Or, try a different computer or network.
• If you can connect to the Internet but see an error message when you try to connect to the iTunes Store, find solutions to possible iTunes Store errors.
• If you can connect to the Internet but the iTunes store shows a blank white page, identify and remove Layered Service Provider software.

If these solutions don’t fix the issue, edit or reset your hosts file.

Edit or reset your hosts file

Your hosts file might block access to the software update server. Here’s how to edit or reset your hosts file.

If you use a Mac

If you use a work computer, check with your computer administrator before you edit the hosts file.

1. In Finder, select Applications > Utilities > Terminal from the menu bar.
2. In the Terminal application, type the following command and press Enter to open the hosts file:
   sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
3. When prompted, type your user password. Note that nothing appears in the Terminal window when you type the password.
4. Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move through the hosts file.
5. If any line includes apple.com, add a number sign (#) and a space character to the beginning of the line.
6. To save the hosts file, press Control-O.
7. At the filename prompt, press Enter.
8. To exit, press Control-X.

If this doesn’t fix the issue, your security software might be out-of-date or misconfigured. You can resolve issues between iTunes and your security software.

If you use a Windows PC

If this doesn’t fix the issue, your security software might be out-of-date or misconfigured. You can resolve issues between iTunes and your security software.
