As of yesterday my iPhone 11 won't backup to my iMac, although it has always done so successfully before. I got an error message saying that the backup won't work without an update. I loaded and installed the update but there was no change in behavior. The iMac is running MacOS12.6 and the iPhone is running iOS 16.0. I also she down and rebooted both the iMac and the iPhone, to no effect.
Any suggestions? Is this a bug or a malware result?
iPhone 11
The explanation is that, for Macs running macOS 10.14 or older, new versions of iOS and iPadOS usually require a little update be applied to iTunes to handle the newer OS install. It does not change your system software. Apple's article on the subject:
is rather useless because it gives no more useful information than the non-intuitive alert.
OK, iPhone update to iOS 16.0.2 fixed it.
