Hi,
I tried to plug in my iPad in order to back it up. However iTunes says it can't mount the iPad without me updating the operating system. (This seems an absolutely ridiculous policy.) Is there a way to override or ignore this? I haven't updated iTunes (12.8.0.150 - modified Aug 2018) yet so I don't see how it could be related to iTunes reading the iPad data.
iOS 12 if out but there have been some concerning issues with iMessage in this update so I do not want to update just yet. Regardless, when I am ready to update the operating system I will want to back the iPad up first.
I don't want to store my backups in iCloud.
Does anyone know of a way for me to force iTunes to back up my iPad prior to updating the operating system?
Thanks
