Hi guys my computer has got a virus and will now not even turn on. My problem is now I have no iTunes at my house so when the next software update for iPhone and iPad are out I will not be able to update. but my friend has iTunes and Internet at his house but has registered devices on it, is it possible for me to plug my iPhone and ipad into his computer and sign in my iTunes account and update them both? Thankful for any help, cheers.

Yes.

All you have to remember is, when you connect them and it asks if you would like to erase and sync, click NO. After that, you can update as normal.

Try this to fix your problem:

-Download/burn a live Linux ditribution at your friend's house.
-Grab an external HDD.
-Boot into Linux and copy important files from your windows partition to the external HDD (ex. iTunes library and device backups)
-Run a virus scan on the copied files.
-Reformat your original HDD and reinstall windows.
-Copy your files back into windows.

This is true, but he'd still have to recover his iTunes library. Plus what I said is at least $1000 cheaper lol.
