  • 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.

    If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
    To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).

  • 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

  • HT4972 I have an iphone 4s and it's telling me that there is a software update available to iOS 6.  When I got to "settings" on my phone, the "download and install" tab is not highlited and I can't click on it to get the update.

    I have an iphone 4s.  I have an alert that there is a software update available to iOS 6.  When I got to the settings tab, the "download and install" button is not highlited and I can't click on it.  Below that, it says that this update requires a Wi-Fi network connection to download.  So I connected my phone to my computer and tried to update throug itunes.  When I clicked the update tab on itunes on my laptop, an alert pops up that says I need to be connected to the internet for th update to take place.  I am confused because I am connected to the internet, but for some reason the connection is not being recognized when I try to update.
    I am using a Gateway laptop and my internet connection is a verizon 4g device that I plug into a USB port.  I feel like this should be so simple but have not been able to figure it out even when I called Apple and spoke to a rep...help!

    In order to download to your phone over the air, you need to be connected to WiFi.
    It's possible the Internet connection through Verizon is not stable enough for the downlaod to begin (it is a very large download).
    You might want to head over to Starbucks with your laptop for the afternoon and see if you can download it over their WiFi.

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

    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" :-)

  • My iPhone 4S had the iOS 6 update and I have been trying to download all day but it won't work and now when I go to software update of says iOS 5.1.1 is up to date

    My iPhone 4S had the iOS 6 update and I have been trying to download all day but it won't work and now when I go to software update of says iOS 5.1.1 is up to date. And I cant restore my iPhone becuase when I go onto iTunes it says that it can't find my iPhone. I have tryed to download the most resent iTunes because I went to apple website and just hit download iTunes so I guess it's the most resent version and I don't know what to do. Should I go to an apple store?

    b) Syncing
    What exactly are you trying to do?
    What happens when you try?

    Are you a Mac or PC user?

  • 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!

    UPDATE on 'da Update:
    Doing it thru ITines ghave me a notice my Phone was not eligible for the update.
    But after I tried it in genral setting..software update...it bagan downloading ot. I'll see if it installs.
    If it does, this is a continuing bug where ITines Notifies me its got an IPhone Update, takes several minutes to download it and says my phone is not eligible.

  • IOS 5 software update - please help!

    Hi
    I opted to update my iPhone 4 last night to the IOS 5 software. I have had my iPhone for over a year with no problems including previous seamless software updates.
    40 minutes into the update my iPhone gets turned off (as you would expect) and then gets restarted. A message appears saying "The SIM card inserted into this iPhone does not appear to be supported". The same message appears on my actual iPhone. I was advised to do a 'restore' to the original settings but because itunes will no longer accept the phone due the "non supported" SIM card I can't even access anything regarding the phone from the drop down menu.
    ANY advise would be gratefully received.
    Thanks

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. 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).
