Have you tried to download the update over-the-air (OTA) by going to Settings>Genera>Software Update?

On your iPhone, select the SETTINGS app. Then go into GENERAL then select SOFTWARE UPDATE. What does it say there?

Helping to update.

I have the same issue, different problem, if you get what I'm saying lol.
I managed to download the new iTunes, ready to update my iPod so that I could get the new software; but its been backing up for ages, I keep unplugging my iPod and giving up because it takes hours and won't update. I'm now going to have to leave it on overnight haha.
I think most people are having issues with this, so your not the only one ;D
Have you tried googling Itunes, downloading the new version, then updating it from there? Thats of course if it backs up quicker for you. Good luck, MusicalMac :) x
