Trying to Download IOS Update via ITunes

Hi.....I have an IPhone 4. Im not able to download the most recent IOS7.0.6 update via wireless and am trying to update via ITunes.Phone is plugged in to PC. I have verified that I have the latest version of ITunes. However, when I go to file-devices, Backup is greyed out and the only option is "Restore from Backup". What am I doing wrong??

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
3. Repeat the process if necessary.

If it is a HD movie, it may not be enough. The iPad also need working space.
Try download to iTune (computer) and "Move" to iPad.

My current version when I open it, it says there is an error and I will not be able to download a CD into itunes, although I have completed several CD downloads.

Go to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and download the full installer. Run the installer and you will be up-to-date. Sometimes the updater just gets in a weird state...

IOS update via iTunes vs via WiFi

Just for my curiosity. What is the difference between updating the iOS with iTunes vs WiFi?
the reason why I am asking this because I read somewhere that sometime users have issue after the update their iOS over WiFi. Same user that update to the same iOS via iTunes does not have the same issue. I am talking about Battery Life, or Wifi Problem, or BlueTooht Issue, or Software Bug.
It is possibile that there is a minimum differece in software when the updated is maded over the WiFi vs iTunes?
Thank you

The OTA updates provides a delta update only while iTunes provided the whole build.
Some users have issues after installing the whole build with iTunes as well. If there is a problem after installing the delta update OTA, restoring the iPhone with iTunes to install the whole build for the update may resolve the problem.
I have installed all iOS updates OTA since the option became available and I haven't experienced any problems after doing so yet.

Out of disk space when trying to download latest update to itunes

I bought a couple of new songs and I cannot even download them to my IPhone 5, because it says that my iTunes needs an update. I tried to dowload the update and it keeps telling me that I am out of disk space. Anyone have a solution to this?

Two things:
1. That is not nearly enough of available space. At least 20 GBs is needed.
2. FCP 4.5 HD is a PPC app; you are running it on a Intel Mac. Not compatible and you will have issues. I'm surprised you were able to install it.

Why am I now unable to download app updates via iTunes?

I am unable to update my apps in iTunes. When I log in and search for updates, the list of apps to update populates, but when I click to download the updates, I get the message regarding content for the 17+ crowd, and I acknowledge this, but the download(s) do not start. My software is up-to-date as of today, but this problem started just before I performed the latest updates. I can, however, update directly from my iPhone/iPad,iPod. What gives?

hi. i had the same problem. i have had to download updates apps one by one and in this way worked. i think it's an apple store problem.
i have another trouble, if i click on "purchased" a pop up windows come up asking me the password, i type the password and a new pop up windows come up again asking me the password again and so on. i can't see my purchased apps.
note: i'm sure i have typed the password right, it works for normal download of apps but it doesn't allow me to see purchased apps.

Hi Robertfrom Denver.
Did you try the solution given, and if yes, did it work?
I have done several "attempted downloads, and see the full file download, typically taking 30 minutes to complete, and then something goes wrong.
I am happy to suspend AV and FW software, but would like to know if it is a good fix or not first?

My IPAD2 failed to download ios 8 via wifi and itunes

I tried to download IOS 8 via wifi and I got an error message that the download failed. I tried to download via ITunes and got the error message network failure. I did this numerous times both ways. My Iphone 5S downloaded fine via wifi.

I have similar problem on an iPad. I have FIOS with 83 meg download speeds. According to apple my download will take 32 hours. They are having a problem and are not addressing it. This is the third day I have been getting this problem. How do we get apple to tell us what is going on. I am willing to cooperate but need to know what to do.
