I just updated both my ipad2 and 5S phone to the newest 7.1? Via my home wifi. The 5s went thru fine but the pad bombed. After an hour or so with apple support to restore the pad, I find out from their own techs that they recommend using I tunes to update ALL apple devices rather than home or business wifi directly. Not that you will always have problems with direct wifi but it COULD happen. Word to the wise.
Thank you for the
Thank you for the information.

Ahh yes ...... Apple support ..... I'm surprised that they didn't try to sell you another "exclusive apple gizmo" for a nominal amount to accomplish something everyone does for free. It's obvious Apple didn't invent wifi ..... otherwise only apple products would/could use it.
But of course, more expensive must be better .... isn't it?

Wifi has been fine for me
IPad and iPhome... I'm also well versed I what to do to recover via iTunes and restore from a back-up... If one backs up their devices regularly, hooking up to iTunes and recovering a device, and restoring a back-up is no big deal.

Mmoonitz,
What GPS program(s) do you run on those?

When you're an Apple hater, sometimes the truth hurts.

On my iPhone and iPad... I have and use Apple's stock Maps... Navigon, and in the event neither of those two will function, I keep Google's Maps for iOS...

Could be why when you look in iTunes while your iDevices are within WiFi range, there is a notice that says "Connect this iPad using a USB cable in order to update or restore its software".

Has the same experience

Wifi
Worked fine for my iPsd and 4s.
I've used wifi for all the updates
On both and never had a bit of problem. Just backup and use care.

iOS through iTunes
I was issued an iPad and iPhone from work, and they do not allow cellular downloads. So I have to use my home wifi to update the iOS. The updates are downloaded through iTunes and I have not had any problems.
No Problem Updating with WiFi
I have an iPhone 5 and an iPad Air and routinely update both using WiFi. Never had a problem. I do backup each device to my Mac using iTunes though.
Same here
No issues on WIFI updates. Can't remember the last time I synced with the computer. Everything is via the cloud now.
