Hi and thank you. I started there, but because every time I tried to download that update the notification froze with the attempted download at the starting line, it didn't help me. And this has happened numerous times in the past few days, so I feel like I'm just spinning my (and my devices') wheels here.

Usually iTunes update or carrier update.

We think the Apple knowledge base articles are very useful.

As this thread was not started by you, you cannot award kudos and therefore you should not criticise either.

Start your own discussion with your own symptoms. Then you will get help.

Thank you for line 1. Still, it doesn't tell me what Apple wants to install.

I don't agree with line 2.

I have no knowledge of or interest in 'kudos' in this context. My criticism was of Apple's obscure dialogue boxes.

If the purpose of this forum is to assist users, it is pointless and counterproductive to multiply existing discussion threads.
