Can i update to iOS 7 using iTunes 10.7? I refuse to use iTunes 11 (no iTunes DJ - no interest)?

I refuse to update my iTunes to 11. The removal of iTunes DJ (with multiple user voting and high rated songs played more often) has ruined the user experience so much so that I almost would prefer using a different music program. After painfully downgrading back to 10.7, and losing hundreds of albums in the process, I am so happy to have iTunes DJ back. That said, I'm looking to update to iOS 7 on my Verizon iPhone 4. Has anyone successfully done this? I will stick with iOS 6 forever if I have to, because losing iTunes DJ for literally the worst music program I have ever used, iTunes 11, is just not worth it for me. Sadly, I will also never buy a newer iPhone if I cannot sync it with iTunes 10. Smart genuis playlist are not iTunes DJ, and Up Next is atrocious. Any suggestions? Apple has been really bumming me out lately!

Have you attempted an over-the-air update?
Settings > General > Software Update
Make sure your iPhone is in wi-fi and connected to a power source.
If not, try installing iTunes 11 on a different computer or user profile.

  • IPhone 4 willnot update iOS can't update to iOS 5 not to mention newer software.  Have tried to iTunes and still won't work???

    Unable to update my iOS software - can't even update to iOS 5 let alone the newer ones. Can't update my music. In setting it doesn't show 'update' as it does in my husbands phone. Can anyone suggest fix??? Can't update either through iTunes.

    The ability to update directly on the device requires iOS5.
    Connect the device to the computer and update it via iTunes.
    If you truly desire help, try providing some specifics such as why you cannot update via iTunes.  Any errors that are occurring would be a great place to start.

    To update your phone requires using the latest version of iTunes, on your computer, as well as Internet access. The update to iOS 5.0 or higher is an erase/restore deal, so you not only have to make sure all of the content, currently on your phone, is on your computer and accessible, you need to update iTunes first, have Internet access, then update your phone. There is no way around this fact. You could go to an Apple store or use another computer, but you run the risk of losing all of your data it you do that.

  • I never updated my iphone to IOS 6.1.4 and now I can't update to IOS 7, how can I get IOS 7?

    I never got round to updating my iPhone 5 to IOS 6.1.4 (I think that's it!) and now I can't update to IOS 7!
    How do I get around this?
    Thank you!

    Why can't you update?
    There should be nothing preventing the update from 6.1.3 or 6.1.2 or even from 5 directly to 7.
    What happens when you try to update?
    Have you tried to Update through a computer running the most up top date version of iTunes?
    Tell us a little more about what is happening and we may be able to provide more specific answers.
