HT201210 how do I correct - Unable to Check for Update an error occured while checking for a software update.
error message: Unable to check updates. an error accured while checking for a software update.
It is all in your WIFI.
I have 2 internal Wifi networks at home. In one (family) the software update works immediately, in the other one (guess) it gives me the same error "Unable to Check for Udpate" ... The guess network I did set up carries some restrictions being the reason why the update does not work.

Go to Wifi Settings and then select your Wifi Network. Tap the blue arrow to go into Wifi settings and then select the DNS tab.
Set the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and then go back to the software update page.
This time it shall work.
I tried it on an iPad 1 running iOS 5.0.1 but I am sure this shall help.
Do rate me and reply if it works. -

Yes. You can't update or restore any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim card need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. If you want to update, you need to get a sim card. -

"software update" "An error occurred while checking for updates"
When I click on "Software Update", an error results, "An error occurred while checking for updates". It is definitely connected to the internet. I was gifted a G5 and I installed a new hard drive and loaded the OS, OS X 10.3.5. That version of Safari does not display pages correctly. E.g., support.apple.com/downloads just clocks on the righthand side of the page.
Because cannot access that link, cannot manually update the OS - I was thinking this version is "old" and as a result, unable to connect to apple's update server. Thanks.Thanks, I upgraded with your info.
Ultimately, I am trying to access mail.google.com but receiving the following error with opera v9.5.x: Some important features may not work in this version of your browser, so you have been redirected to the Basic HTML version.
Safari gives the following: Some important features may not work in this version of your browser, so you have been redirected to the Basic HTML version.
I can access ask.com and using opera to type this response. -
Help! I have an older iPad. I am not sure which version. I cannot access the internet even though it shows a strong Wi-Fi signal. I have tried re-starting and when I tried to search for updates I couldn't access. It told me an error had occured. What can I do? Thanks!

I have an Iphone 5s and it says i have a Software update. However, it will not update. I have rebooted my phone and it hasn't helped. Any suggestions?
Hello bdollbarnes,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to update your iPhone. I recommend the following steps:
Download takes a long time, or you can't reach update server
iOS updates require a persistent Internet connection, and the time it takes to download the update will vary according to the size of the update and your Internet speed. You can use your device normally while downloading the iOS update, and iOS will notify you when you can install the update. To improve the speed of the download, avoid downloading other content.
If you get a message that "an error occurred downloading iOS," try again later. If the issue persists, try updating your device in another network or use iTunes to update your device. Learn more about iOS updates.

I am a little perplexed. The Time Machine does seem to be backing up my data but I continually get the following message displayed on my screen 'Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder.' I am using a WD My Passport for Mac portable hard disk drive.
