If you feel the problem is with iTunes, you might want to **try using a third-party iOS recovery or repair application. A**ny of these programs may be downloaded and installed from the internet. Simply select the most trustworthy and appropriate program for your PC. You can determine which program to download by reading previous reviews. After you've decided, **download and install the software you want on your computer**. Then, using the included USB or Lightning connector, connect your iPhone 8 Plus to your computer. Once connected, go to the main screen of the iOS recovery program and **restore and repair** your iPhone by following the onscreen instructions and directions.
