Just decided to update my air 2 from iOS 9.3.4 to 12.something.
Connected it to Macbook Pro early 2008 with Yosemite (10.10.5) with iTunes 12.8.1.3, can't update to higher version).
iTunes detected 12.something is available for iPad. Backup went okay, software was being extracted, iPad rebooted. Then an error from iTunes came that the update failed, I remember seeing an error like 9005, but googling came with 9006.
iPad (a white one) gives a white screen with a black Apple logo, nothing happens, not on the iPad, not in iTunes, even after waiting for 15 minutes. Disconnected iPad, nothing happens. Pressed power and sleep for several seceonds and iPad showed iTunes connect logo. iTunes recognizes iPad and tries to reinstall update again. iPad reboots and gives the white screen with the black logo and that's it.
What to do?
As mentioned, I do have an iTunes backup, but not sure if that contains everything, which should be the case, right? Afraid to lose photos.
By the way, can I restore the backup to a different iPad? I have an empty 9,7 iPad pro which also has 64 GB, but already has iOS 12.something.
