![]() ![]() Sit back and wait for the update to finish.Click Backup again (we did the first backup in case you forget the encryption password).You’ll be asked for a password to lock the backup– that’s the encryption part– and whichever password you choose, I recommend checking the box to save it in the Keychain. An encrypted backup stores passwords, which makes things easier for you down the road. Check the box that encrypts the backup.(if asked, yes, you do want to transfer purchases from the iPhone to the Mac, and if you’re presented with a dialog box asking you to “authorize” the Mac use the name and password you use when buying apps from the App Store) Click Backup to back up your iPhone to the Mac.Click on your iPhone/iPad/iPod in iTunes.Wait for iTunes to start, or start it yourself. ![]() Connect your device to your Mac with the USB cable. ![]() You laugh but trust me, this is going to help someone.)

You should try this method before trying to free up space by deleting things on your device– it will save you a lot of time and trouble. The process is the same whether you’re installing 8.1 from some other version of iOS 8, or from some version of iOS 7 (or even iOS 6). If you get that message, you probably can do the update “OTW” (“over the wire”), even if your iPhone/iPad/iPod is close to full, by connecting your device to your Mac and updating it through iTunes. Apple might let you know that you can’t by telling you that your iPhone/iPad/iPod is too full. You can go to Settings/General/Software Update and begin the update “OTA” (that’s “Over the Air”)– unless you can’t.

I’ve installed it on my iPhone 5s and iPad 2 and it’s solved some iOS 8 problems for me, including performance issues which were very evident on the iPad 2. ![]()
