Hey guys!
Welcome to UltFone Channel.
While updating or restoring your iPhone with iTunes,
you might sometimes come across an error
that says “waiting for iPhone”.
When the error occurs,
the iTunes app keeps on saying
that it is waiting for your iPhone even though
your iPhone is already connected to your computer.
If you are also one of those users who is facing this same issue,
then you are at the right place.
Because here, we will guide you through some methods
that will certainly help you get your problem solved
in just a matter of few minutes.
So, let’s get started.
Method 1: Check Your Network Connection
If your internet connection is not stable,
then your iTunes will certainly get stuck
at one point while in process.
Thus, make sure that the internet connection
are using to update or restore your iPhone
with iTunes is good and stable.
Method 2: Check USB Port and Cable
Sometimes, dirt particles inside USB Port
or unstable cable can also halt the connection.
So, keep your USB Port properly clean
and also, it is recommended to use
Apple’s official lighting cable,
as iPhone doesn’t usually support unauthentic cable.
Method 3: Updates iTunes to Latest Version
An outdated iTunes version
might be the main reason that may cause this issue,
so keeping your iTunes always up to date
with the latest version can be your solution.
If you had downloaded iTunes
from the Microsoft Store,
it will automatically update your iTunes
when new versions are released.
And for those, who had downloaded
and installed it from the Apple’s official website,
open your iTunes on the window,
get into the “Help” tab and there,
click the “Check for Updates” options.
Update your iTunes if there is any update available.
Method 4: Make use of UltFone iOS System Repair
If iTunes still gets stuck on “Waiting for iPhone”
and shows no progress whatsoever,
you might need to consider
another way other than iTunes.
