HT201210 iOS 7 upgrade "Software Update Unavailable"

I'm trying to upgrade my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 and am getting the following messege "Software Update Unavailable: Sofwate Update is not available at this time.  Try again later."
How do I correct this?
Thanks

With everyone and their iDogs trying to update at the same time, things are gonna be a bit bumpy off the bat trying to update and/or activate.
All anyone can really recommend is to keep trying or wait until a bit later, after the hubub has died down.

  • IOS 7.0 - Software Update Unavailable - Solution?

    After downloading the update, "preparing the update" and "verifying update" for a while, a box appears "Software Upate Unavaiable. Sottware Update is not available at this time. Try again later."
    Yes I could wait, I'm just too eager to get this. Any other possible solution or at least a known cause to the problem.

    Known Cause: Excess number of users attempting to update at same time.  Too many server requests to handle. 
    Solution: Client side - keep trying or wait for a while for server traffic to die down
                   Server Side - Upgrade servers to handle more requests (not likely)
    It happens EVERY OS upgrade.  Just be patient.  You'll eventually get it.

  • HT4623 Unable to update to iOS 7.0. Error displayed "Software Update Unavailable"

    I have an iPhone 4. I was able to download iOS 7 but it did not install. Now when I try to install it and error is displayed "Software Update Unavailable"

    Have you tried to update via iTunes or via Wifi?  Here is the article on how to do both - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623
    Tell us what it's telling you when you try if you are having issues.
    Some common things to try if you are having issues doing it over wifi:
    1) Turn on Airplane Mode in Settings.
    2) Turn the iPhone off completely for about 2 minutes by holding the power button and sliding the red bar.
    3) Turn the iPhone back on and turn off Airplane mode from Step #1. Try to update again.
    4) Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Then reconnect to your Wifi and try to update again.
    If you are getting an error about space, you can delete some apps or information to free up space on your iPhone (You can view what's taking up space in Settings > General > Usage) or you can update via iTunes on the computer. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623

  • My IPAD won't accept my wi-fi password. I have tried resetting all settings and network settings but still won't accept it. Can't download to new version of IOS either, says software update server could not be contacted.

    my IPAD won't accept my wi-fi password. I have tried resetting all settings and network settings but still won't accept it. Can't download to new version of IOS either, says software update server could not be contacted.

    Yes I have put in the correct password, its all numbers so can't get it wrong really.
    It has connected before as has my iPod and that won't connect either. I have checked that they aren't on the blocked list of the wi fi. Managed to download the new version of iOS and that hasn't made a difference.
    I have the wi fi plugged directly into the computer rather than the booster hub as the computer won't connect to it when its in the hub. I did get the iPad to connect to the internet when it twas in the hub but once I upgraded the iOS it won't accept the wifi password in the hub either.

    My ios 7 download appears to have worked, then it tries to validate, fails and says Software Update Unavailable - has happened 3 times so far

    Thanks - I didn't realize there were separate validation servers.  I've continued to try - 3 more failures - I will keep trying.  The download worked in a timely manner so I thought I was "over the hump" :-)

    Be patient. Apple just released IOS 6.1 and their servers are inundated with downloads. The network link between you and Apple may also have some undisclosed throughput or latency issues.
    I just updated to IOS 6.1 and it took much longer than I expected.

  • Why does my Iphone says software update unavailable??

    Why does my Iphone says software update unavailable??

    I have a 5 and got the message that the "software update is not available at this time. Try again later". Everyone is jamming the server trying to update at the same time. I'll try later this evening. Scary about the problem people are having after the update. They are saying their phones need to be re-activated. My IPhone is my only phone. Good luck everyone!

    download with itunes, or with one of your devices, and re-try, most causes it the update server it self.
