Hi Ronni, other than doing a backup prior to initiating an OTA update, are there any other precautions to doing ios updates?

I do feel most 'issues' are caused by the User not preparing for an Upgrade or taking precautions. I have had no problems with upgrading my devices to iOS 8.0.2 But... I NEVER do iOS Upgrades OTA (Over The Air). 1. I connect my device to my computer & iTunes 2. Backup my Device 3. Then Download and Install the Upgrade I don't ever walk away from my computer while an upgrade is downloading and installing. I wait until the process is completed and my device restarts Have never experienced any issues doing Upgrades this way.

Someone mentioned yesterday that iOS8.0.2 also has issues and suggested not upgrading to that yet. Do you know if this is the case ?

Continue holding the 'Command + Option' keys until you see the iTunes Safe Mode warning. This will open iTunes in Safe Mode Starting iTunes in Safe Mode allows you to be able to check things and follow prompts that iTunes shows you. It allows iTunes to download and update iTunes components. Safe Mode disables any non generic plugins / add-ons etc, allowing iTunes to go back to bare operating basics.

Two times I got the message:- “iTunes could not connect to this iPhone - session ID is missing” Any ideas what the issue could be here please ?
