If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

WHY DOES MY PHONE KEEP SAYING " THE IPHONE SOFTWARE UPDATE SERVER COULD NOT BE CONTACTED???
The most likely reason is you once used your computer to hack or jailbreak a phone or iPad, and the process corrupted the network database on your computer. You need to edit your hosts file and remove any lines that contain gs.apple.com.
The other possibility is that your firewall and/or antivirus is blocking access to Apple's activation servers. -

Ok so I reset my ipod touch 4th gen and it got stuck on the apple logo screen and holding down the buttons just made it turn off for a few seconds and go straight back onto the logo screen, nothing was happening with it connecting to itunes either. But I held the home and the power button down at the same time while connected to my laptop and then when the logo reappeard I released the power button and it came up with with the itunes logo and the usb logo. It then allowed me to select restore on itunes which I did but a box popped up saying "The ipod software update server could not be contacted. make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." Please help.

Is your iPhone jailbroken?
Or
Has your computer ever been used to jailbrake or downgrade (Tinyumbrella) any iPhone? -
What can you do when Ipad upgrade said "Ipad cannot be updated at this time because the ipad software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavilable. Please try again later.
Where can I download the ipad software myself?What entries do you have in your HOSTS file on your PC/Mac?
If you have ever used TinyUmbrella your HOSTS file could be redirecting the request to a local server or Cydia.
Look for any entries which redirect gs.apple.com and comment out or remove. -
