Can't connect to get 2.2 update - Help please!

I'm trying to sync my iPhone. I click "check for updates". My computer is connected to the internet. But I get the message "iTunes could no contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the internet." However, I can access iTunes and buy songs.
Any idea why I can't access the update?
Also - my Exchange email hasn't been able to connect for a week. IT just say s "connecting" at the bttom of the email screen and the dial just keeps going in circles.
Could all of this be related?
Thanks for your help!

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • I have a netgear n300 wirless adsl2 modem router and i can't connect to my i pod touch help please

    i pod touch won't connect to my netgear modem router (n300)

    haghop,
    Do you have a base airport station? What is your internet setup? Is this simply an Airport express that will not be connected at all to a modem with internet access?
    Based on what you've said, I'm guessing the answers to the above questions are yes. If so, you'll want to make sure it's set to factory defaults. Hold in the reset button with a paper clip until the light begins to flash. Let it restart and quit flashing. (I'm sorta newbieish, I don't think you're gonna see a green light, I think that means "internet access" However, I think you should see solid amber)
    After it's quit flashing, choose your airport station from the Airport dropdown menu in the menu bar. Go to Airport Setup assistant in utilities. Your new AX should show up and be ready to be configured as a plain ol' iTunes streamer.

    Hi Kellyssi,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you're being asked repeatedly to check terms and conditions, try restarting and then resetting your iPhone:

  • Some clients can't connect after 10.6.6 update - the see an error -43

    Hi There,
    I'm a designer so am not all that technical but have managed to setup and maintain OS X servers since 10.5.
    I've just updated the server to 10.6.6 and now some of our clients can't connect - they get the following error:
    "There was an error connecting to the server. Check the server name or IP address and try again.
    If you are unable to resolve the problem contact your system administrator."
    If I click OK to the error above on the client, I see another error which reads:
    "The operation cannot be completed because one or more required items cannot be found.
    (Error code -43)"
    I've restarted the server and the clients but no luck.
    The server is running the following services:
    - AFP
    - DNS
    - Firewall
    - NFS (although I don't remember setting this up - is this started with AFP?)
    - Open Directory
    I can ping the server and login via ARD so not sure why we see the first IP address error as mentioned above.
    Any help or suggestions would be most welcome.
    Regards
    Ben

    One question, is this when you hit "Connect to Server" or is this after you've established a connection and try to open/edit/save files?
    Here is some general advice:
    1) I assume your whole network is behind a router and that we are talking a small office environment (5-10 people) and not some large enterprise. If so the Firewall service can probably be disabled. As a matter of fact if your issue is that clients can't connect at all the firewall may actually be causing your problem.
    2) NFS can almost certainly be disabled. Its generally only used for two reasons 1) The netboot service needs it. 2) You support unix/bsd clients. I can see from your list of services that netboot isn't something you're doing and I doubt that as a designer you would have much use for unix/bsd systems.

    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers

  • I am not able to sign in. Apple TV can't connect to server at this time. Please try later. I am using same ID and password as I do with iTunes. Can someone help me?

    I am not able to sign in. I am getting a message saying Apple TV can't connect to server at this time. Please try again.
    I use the same Apple ID and password as I do with iTunes and have no problems accessing that.

    Unpower it.  If it still  happens on a restart give it time - Apple's servers sometimes have glitches.

  • "apple tv can't connect to the server at this time. please try later."

    anybody else getting this error on apple tv after upgrading? 'unable to sign in' 'apple tv can't connect to the server at this time. please try later.'
    • I was happily watching all itunes media on my apple tv but then apple tv asked me to upgrade.
    • I upgraded.
    • Now it can't connect to any menus related to the itunes store.
    • I verified I have the latest upgrade to itunes.
    • Homesharing is turned on.
    • I have restarted apple tv numerous times.
    • I CAN'T watch or listen to itunes 'movies', 'tv shows', 'music', 'podcasts'  via apple tv.
    • I CAN watch netflix, youtube, movies on my mac, itunes radio.
    • I CAN connect to the itunes store via my mac.
    • I get this error on apple tv 'unable to sign in' 'apple tv can't connect to the server at this time. please try later.'

    Lets be frank:  this is an internal server communication issue at Apple that they don't want to fix or acknowledge.    This "unable to sign in" or unable to communicate issues are all about purchase validation ONLY.  That is where it hangs up.   For example, I can see favorites but it won't access my list of purchased items.     And yet - the only advice they have is reboot?
    The same issue happens when trying to watch Netflix on ATV.   It can't connect to the Netflix server but gosh golly gee, I switch to my Roku box and no problem.   Unfortunately for Apple, while I'm over there I'm starting to to buy movies and shows from Amazon
    Apple doesn't make it's money from the $99 Apple TV sale - it's the iTunes purchases.   If we want them to listen we need to interrupt that revenue stream.

    I was running into the same issue for the past few days and decided... Heck, just try the old fashioned way and unplug the thing.  Boom.  Fixed it.  Try unplugging it and doing the old reset and see how that goes.
    Good luck!
