Hi Eleanor, Connect your ipad/iphone to your mac with the relevant cable. If itunes doesn't open automatically, open itunes manually. In the main window look forr a popup button that says iphone or ipad and vo+spacebar on it. This should select your device. To the right of the button, you will come across "iphone summary area". Interact with it. There you will find all sort of info about your device but crucially a backup button to backup your device. Do it before you update. In the same summary area you will have a "check for update" button. Activate it and you will be guided through the update process. You may have to enter your unlock key on your iphone during the process as well but voiceover will tell you to do so. Before you update, some list members have recommended that you close all your apps on your iphone first and reboot it.
