- Select your device, which you can view by clicking on the device’s icon in the upper-left corner of iTunes windows. Note that the iOS device appears in different areas of iTunes depending on the iTunes version you are running
- If your device does not show up, just force restart it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together for about 10 seconds until you see an Apple logo on the screen
- If you made an iTunes backup before updating to iOS 9, restore your device from the backup. If you have not done that, you need to create a backup via iTunes, then restore from that backup
