ITunes keeps saying the server could not be contacted when trying to restore my iPhone 5

I'm trying to restore my iPhone 5 using iTunes, because my battery life has greatly decreased, and I believe it to be a software problem. Therefore I'm wanting to wipe the software completely, and update it again, but when I hit restore, it extracts the software, and then tells me the update server could not be reached. I'm not sure what the problem is, I updated my iTunes again and retried but the same thing happened. Please let me know what to do to restore my phone

Try restoring your iPhone from a different computer.

    Restore the iPhone when connected to iTunes by cable.
    Still the same TS1275?
    Is your iPhone jailbroken?
    Or
    Has your computer ever been used to jailbrake or downgrade (Tinyumbrella) any iPhone?

  • LS Getting the error "The data could not be saved because the server could not be contacted" when deploying on my local desktop

    Hi:
    I have a very simple test LS App:
    1 Table "Person" with 1 property "Name"
    One totally standard Editable Grid
    So no complicated calculations that could timed out...
    When I hit F5 the screen launches and shows the data, but when I try to create a new Person it waits for about 2 minutes and then the following error appears:
    The data could not be saved because the server could not be contacted. Please check your network connection and try saving again. The Operation timed out.
    Despite the error the data gets persisted on the database.
    I am on VS 2013 Pro Update 4 and SQL Server LocalDB 2012 (v11.0).

    If you decide to try again I would:
    1) Uninstall Visual Studio
    2) Uninstall SQL Server (all versions)
    3) Re-install SQL Server
    4) Re-Install Visual Studio

  • HT4972 I can't update my ipad from my PC.  It keeps saying "update server could not be contacted".  I've checked my connections and everything is fine.  What can I do?

    Hello.  I've tried to update my iPad, but iTunes keep saying that "update server could not be contacted".  My iPad does not have the option of wireless software update.  Please, help!

    Try temporarily disabling your firewall and/or anti-virus software on the computer. You could also try logging out and back in to your itunes/AppleID account.

  • "Error Dialog: The server could not be contacted " when deploying web srvc

    I have the J2EE 1.4 and Application Server 8 Q1 installed under windows. I have used all of the defaults on the install. The admin port is 4848. I want to install a web service on the http listener at 3345 (8080 was used and 3345 was substituted at installation time). I am getting the error from the deploytool when deploying the example web service "Hello". I am sure that the server is running and that the userid and password are the correct (I can log into the admin console with them). I've seen this error in other posts, but no solution. Does anyone have a solution to this???
    Thanks in advance : )

    yep, i get d same error on that, in fact, port 8000 is d default web service port, if i deploy the application via invalid port (eg. 4848 or 1234), i will get an error, say "cannot obtain a connected depolyment manager". but if i deploy that via 8000 (or 9191, it is also avaliable, casue i can connect to http://localhost:9191/ as default j2ee home page as well), i will get the error " the server could not be contected", and i m definitely sure that i can connect to console via 8000 and j2ee server is running by typing "j2ee -verbose" in command line.

  • My itunes store is saying that it could not contact the server, it says i need to restore my ipod but when i go to restore it, it says the server could not be contacted or something. what does this mean?

    okay so last night i went to charge my ipod in the computer and it started working then i took it out of the computer and put it on a wall charger and it had a spasm attack and shut itself down, after that it said i had to connect it to itunes so when i did it kept telling me that i need to restore my ipod, but when i press restore the itunes said "the contact server is not avalible" or something similar to that, what does that actually mean and is there anyway i can fix my ipod. i have dropped my ipod a few times, on tiles, wood, in a gutter of water when it fell out my pocket but im also wondering is it something to do with my ipod or is it itunes?

    Try:
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    The abuse may prevent a restore or prevent proper operation of the iPod if you can restore the iPod.

  • Everytime I try to update my iPod, it comes up with a message saying the server could not be contacted.

    My ipod is the 4.3.5 version. It is driving me nuts! I have tried disabling different softwares, updating Itunes, and restarting my computer over and over. It says server cannot be contacted yet everytime I open iTunes, it pops up at least twice saying to update.

    Let's try the following document with that one.
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    (If the "Automatically detect settings" checkbox is already checked, try unchecking and rechecking it and clicking OK.)

    Hi Elmer,
    I researched this error message, I think you can try the methods below:
    Increase the timeout of the connection between the client and the server
    Increase  Client timeout, and it is set in the Application class in the Client Project
    For further information: Error message: Unable to save data

  • "Could Not Sign In" when Trying to Restore Icloud on a brand NEW Iphone 5S

    "Could Not Sign In" when Trying to Restore Icloud on a brand NEW Iphone 5S
    It says "there was a problem connecting to the server?"
    Wi-Fi in range, ID and Password Correct.... What is going on?

    Check that the email address is correct for your login. You'd be surprised how many times I've seen people see the prompt and just go with a password and not realize that the email address was wrong.
    Aside from that, you can try resetting your password via the iForgot app.
    If you forgot your password, you can easily recover or reset it using iForgot. For security reasons, Apple cannot reset your password for you. To protect yourself against unauthorized purchases to your credit card, do not give out your password to anyone.
    NOTE: If you attempt to sign in to the Apple Online Store numerous times with the wrong password, you will see the following error message: “This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons." To reset your account, use iForgot.

    My 3G service provider told me to power off by holding the top black button down for 5 seconds until you get until you get the red arrow asking you to slide to power off. Leave off for a minute or so and then use the same button to turn back on and it will show a little apple in the middle of the screen. This should reboot your server information and you will not get the error message.
