Could you reboot your computer, unplug and re-plug the iPhone after restarting it as well and let us know if you still get the same error PORRITA?

 

If you do, we'd appreciate a screenshot too.

    Good morning Walter, I have tried restarting my PC and iPhone several times... I have also tried pairing them several times but nothing seems to work...
    It may be that it does this because my iPhone doesn't have much internal space to 'turn'

      When you say internal space, could you clarify what you mean exactly PORRITA?

       

      Have you tried getting in touch with our support team directly about this by the way? They'd be better equipped to help further with account and device specific information.
