Troubleshoot: when I try to update my Iphone 4 (ios 4.3.3) to the latest ios via itunes. It gives me a message "This version of iTunes (10.6.3) is the current version." Why?

Hello - I am trying to update my Iphone 4 from its current Ios (4.3.3) to the latest Ios (7.x.x?). I currently do not sync using icloud, and have only started syncing to my itunes today.
So far, I have backed up my Iphone using Itunes, transferred all my purchases using Itunes, and imported all my photos using Iphoto.
Then clicked on my Iphone in the left hand Column and in the screen that appeared found the "Update" button. Next to the update button read "A newer version of the iPhone software is available (version7.0). To update your iPhone with the latest software, click Update."
I then clicked the "Update" button and a pop-up message reading "This version of iTunes (10.6.3) is the current version." appeared.
Please advise why this happened, and how I should go about restoring and updating this Iphone.
After updating to the latest IOS, my next step will be to sign up for iCloud.
Thanks clever mac folk!

Hello hsielglad,
Thank you for your question. iTunes 11.1 is required to update to and sync with iOS 7. If you are still running iTunes 10.6.3, I recommend trying to obtain the update by going to the iTunes menu and selecting Check for Updates.

If you continue to get the message that iTunes is up to date, you can download the latest version of iTunes here:
Download iTunes
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Once the file downloads, double click on the installation file that downloaded to initiate the installation.
Best,

When I try to apply the update IOS 7.1.2 to my Iphone 5, after I press install now, ask me a numerics password, how I can get this password or is an error. If it an error how to fix it?

It wants the restrictions passcode. How you "get it" is you search your memory and remember what you set it to.

It could be the fact that your hosts file is directing itself to gs.apple.com Cydia not gs.apple.com Apple,
Hope it helps

Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".

There is some kind of error. The new version of iTunes is 11.1, which although is not available via updates, it can be downloaded from the Apple website here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
After updating iTunes to the newest version you should be able to update your iOS
EDIT: I just did that and it works

Dear Friends:
When I try to update my iPhone 3Gs thru iTunes, to the latest OS I receive an error message that says: "The net conection has been without any response within the limit of time.Please see your net settings or try later". I checked my internet settings and all is OK (I have not any proxy connection). I tried lots of time to do this update since some weeks till now and I always have the same error message. Please give me an answer about this problem because I cannot do anything more.
Best Regards

Are you running modified software on your phone? This error seems to be common if the firmware has been modified and you're trying to restore the phone again.

when i try to update my iphone via itunes then after update my phone cannot activte how can i activate my iphone ? and what is the wrong with that

Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
Unauthorized modification of iOS

Thank you for clarify I'm supposed to read the ENTIRE article. I thought I was just supposed to read the title and magically everything will fix itself. I appreciate you taking the time to help me however I do not appreciate the caps and the way you have addressed the situation. If you are not going to kindly help people/make suggestions just don't try! And for the record my conclusions are not illogical, the iOS7 thing is on the website in small font (which I got by reading the ENTIRE thing) and you should really find a new hobby because your socialization skills need some help! That goes for you too Chris. Not everyone is a tech nerd

The message is referring to iTunes on your computer, not the iPad : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
The built-in apps on the iPad can only be updated via iOS updates, so if your iPad mini is on iOS 6.0.2 then its up-to-date

Hello Echo7021,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you have updates for apps and want to update them. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
If an app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open - Apple Support
Make sure that you're using latest version of iOS.
Open the App Store and tap Updates.
If updates are available, tap Update All.
If asked, enter your Apple ID password.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario
