If you lied about your birthday when you started your Twitter account, don't ever update it. Twitter will lock your account until your age is cleared up and that can take months or possibly forever.
Under The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Twitter is locking the accounts of anyone who may of posted anything while they were under 13 years of age. If you update your birthday, they run the math backwards, see that you were under 13 when you posted, and lock the account so that they do not get into trouble. It's dumb, but it's the easy way to make sure they don't run into trouble.
Q. Should I update your birthday on Twitter?
A. No.
Q. What if I have updated my birthday and I am not locked out of my account.
A. You are screwed.
Q. No, really, what should I do?
A. Follow these steps as suggested by Twitter: https://help.twitter.com/en/managing-your-account/locked-and-limited-accounts

iPhone 6s Stuck on Connect to iTunes Screen
Here is my solution if your iPhone 6s is stuck on the “connect
to iTunes” screen.
Here’s what happened to me on or around July 30th, 2016:
Need to dump vacation photos from wife’s iPhone
Updated iTunes
Connect phone
iTunes says phone has update, would I like to download.
(yes)
The update downloads (took a long time)
iTunes says “extracting update”
iTunes says “installing update”
After a while, iTunes says “install unsuccessful”
Phone screen shows “connect to iTunes”
Reconnect.
iTunes says, “Something is wrong. You need to update or do a
factory reset.” (shivers)
Phone will not update.
Eject phone.
Hold Home button and Wake button for 10 seconds until Apple
logo appears. After 2 seconds, the logo
is replaced by the “connect to iTunes” screen.
Got on Apple chat support. We were disconnected after 20 minutes.
New person didn’t have past 20 minutes of conversations. Hung up.
Search internet for “iPhone 6s photo recovery” and get “Wondershare
– Dr.Fone for iPhone 6”
Wondershare – Dr.Fone for iPhone 6 is software that is free
to download. It will connect to your
phone and let you know if the data is recoverable. If you want to recover it,
you have to pay something like $50 for the partial version of the program and
more for additional recovery options.
I just wanted to see if the data was recoverable so I
download the software.
When I run the software and plug in the phone, the software
says something along the lines of, “Your phone is not in a readable mode. Would
you like to restart.” I click yes.
THE HOME SCREEN POPS UP!!!!!
I upload all the photos to the cloud. Save all contacts and
backup passwords.
From the phone, I use the update function.
The phone updates.
I plug it into iTunes and it works fine.
Phew!
I hope this helps you.
