the iphone cannot be restore at this time because the iphone software update server could not be contacted or temperarily unavailable....
this error has been occred"Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care?"
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked. -

I've been trying to restore my phone the whole day and every time that's about to finish the extration this message comes up " The iphone cannot be restored at this time because the iphone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable"
Do anyone know if there's a way to fix this? It's in DFU mode so I can't do anything with it anymore, i have no phone.
Please help.Windows user? Maybe you should check your HOSTS file to make sure nothing is stopping you from contacting Apple's servers - though if you're not looking to update you might still be out of luck. Also, maybe disable IP blacklist apps like PeerBlock just in case they're interfering with your connection to Apple.

Try updating directly on the device, via iTunes on the computer, and iTunes on a different computer.
If the iPhone has been hacked or jailbroken, it may not be possible to update. -
Hello.
I am using a PC (windows 7) and trying to update my ipad 4th generation via Itunes. i was trying to update to the latest operating system.
The error message cited above pops up every time.
I just updated the newest version of Itunes, updated windows 7, restarted my computer, turned off virus/firewall, and none of that worked.
I tried restarting my ipad, but theres nothing there. It just says to connect to itunes. The only option Itunes gives me is to restore. I click that, and still get the same error message.
This is a freshly bought ipad and I don't care if the few things I have on it are erased. I just want it to work.
Any ideas?
ThanksI read through as many of those threads as I can find.
They offered the following solutions:
1. turn off anti-virus
2. turn off firewall
3. update itunes
4. update windows
5. restart computer
6. try different usb ports
7. update usb ports
I have tried all of those things and none of them worked, so I decided to start a new thread. -

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).

I got a new ipod touch for Christmas.
Today I was going to put music on it, i was told there was updates.
So I went ahead to do them.
My Ipod is stuck on the screen with the usb cord pointing to the itunes logo.
In Itunes i'm told :
Itunes has dected an ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this ipod before it can be used with itunes.
Turning the ipod off - the same screen appears when it's back on.
When I click restore ipod and after restore and update is clicked ; Extracting software loads up at the top.
When its done this is the message I get:
The iPod 'iPod' cannot be restored at this time because the ipod software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable.
I've been looking up trying to figure it out myself and have read making sure a setting in Lan Settings in Internet Properties has ; Automatically detect settings checked. I still get the same ipod message.
I've tried holding the power and home key to turn it off, then powering it back on. But that doesn't work.
I installed itunes today, so its up to date - I checked.
I don't know what else to do.
Can someone help me out, please? :}

Did you check your security software settings on your computer? iTunes has to be able to contact Apple servers during the update process:

this morning i tried to restore my ipod and it said:"the ipod "ipod cannot be restored at this time because the ipod software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavalible." i have no idea what to do and i need help.
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- 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
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem -
The ipad "ipad" cannot be restored at this time because the ipad software update server
I keep getting the above message. HELP!
I purchased a brand new HP laptop with Windows 8 2 days ago. I download itunes without any issues.
When I sync'd my son's ipad 3 32gb wifi the ipad got stuck in the recovery mode trying to download the software update. I googled trying to find a way to fix it but with no luck so I took it to an Apple store and they re-set the ipad and it seemed to be fine.
I then tried to sync my sons ipad. This message didn't come up but nothing would transfer to the iPad even though looking in my library I can see all of his movies, songs etc there.
I tried connecting my iPad 2 and I have received the same cannot be restored message again and the ipad is stuck in the recovery mode like my son's ipad was. The screen just shows the black screen with the white usb and arrow pointing to the itunes logo.
HELP! Quite clearly it doesn't appear to be an Apple or itunes issue but maybe factory settings on my new PC as my old Toshiba laptop always worked perfectly with itunes.
Thanks!
SallyI am getting exactly same message at this moment!!
Maybe there is problem with apple server status??
