Ive tried over the air, but then it prompts me to connect to itunes on the pc which is when it wants to wipe the system and start again. It does eventually update, but its frustrating as it takes 3 or 4 goes and the whole thing takes about 3 hours from start to finish, whereas the iphone updates in minutes
