You will need iTunes for two of these methods; check to see if it is up to date:
- Open iTunes
- Click on Help>Check for Updates
- Wait; if iTunes finds an update, download instructions will be given on the screen – follow them carefully.
Second, very important, back up your data BEFORE you start – iTunes and/or iCloud for this.
