Unable to update my iphone 4 into versions past 5.1.1

Stuck on version 5.1.1. When i try to update through itunes i get "the Iphone software update server could not be contacted". When i try and update directly on Iphone says i need a wifi connection. My connection is fine for both wifi and ethernet.
Cheers

Yeah could definatly be the issue. Im using the connection at my work because i live in a rural area that has horribly slow speeds. I was thinking along the same lines so i tried a couple different wifi connections of neighbouring businesses but still nothing, however that could be bad luck and they might have similar restrictions. Southern Alberta so location in that sense should not be an issue.
Thanks for the response!

Are you currently on ios 4? If so that's where the backup comes in. You'll need to restore your backup once the software is updated.

I am unable to update my Iphone, everyone tells me that my phone should give me the option of Software Update and mine doesn't. What do I do in that case?

Unable to update my iPhone 4 to 6.0.1.

I am unable to update my iPhone 4G to iOS 6.01. Says download failed.

Correct, because you need iTunes 10.7, and your iMac is too old to support it.
If your iPhone has iOS 5, you can update it over-the-air by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
But my guess is you don't have iOS 5.
So you'll need a newer computer, or go to an Apple Store and they can help you.

Is it an album that was synced over from your computer? If so, the only way to delete that album will be to deselect it in iTunes and do a sync. That will erase it from the device

TS4268 I updated my iPhone 4s to version 6.1 and can't make or receive any more calls. What can I do?

Hi,
As stated, I updated my iPhone 4s to version 6.1 and can't make any calls now.
Restoring it to a prior state doesn't rollback the iOS version, so I'm stuck with a brick now.
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Thank you.

Well, frankly you've provided no useful details.
If you want help, we need details.
Any errors on the device?
Is it activated?
Is it saying "No Service"?
Unsupported SIM?
Have you tried removing and reinstalling the SIM?
Replacing the SIM?

Are you sure the update is done?
You can try a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
