Where can I download the ipad software myself?

What entries do you have in your HOSTS file on your PC/Mac?
If you have ever used TinyUmbrella your HOSTS file could be redirecting the request to a local server or Cydia.
Look for any entries which redirect gs.apple.com and comment out or remove.

Restore the iPhone when connected to iTunes by cable.
Still the same TS1275?
Is your iPhone jailbroken?
Or
Has your computer ever been used to jailbrake or downgrade (Tinyumbrella) any iPhone?

Hi guys, When I try to update my iphone4s to the latest software on itunes via my MacBook a message displays a message: 'This iPhone "Seans iphone" cannot be updated at this time because the iphone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable'. This has happened a few time s now. I have look through the FAQ's but no luck. Can someon help? Cheers

Try posting to the correct forum.
This is the iPhone for the Enterprise forum... there is nothing about the issue that appears to apply to using an iPhone in an Enterprise (corporate) environment.
Try posting to the iTunes for the Mac forum.

HT201210 I'm trying to restore my phone and it keeps saying that this iphone cannot be restored at this time because the iphone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable

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.

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

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.

I'm running 4.3.3 on a ipad 2 im computer is connected via wire to internet

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).

TS1363 ipad cannot be rstored at this time because the ipad software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable

i can not resore my ipad 2? the message i keep getting from Itunes 10. is "ipad cannot be rstored at this time because the ipad software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable". What can I do?

Just in case, let's try the following document:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
(If the "Automatically detect settings" checkbox is already checked, try unchecking and rechecking it and clicking OK.)

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!
Sally

I am getting exactly same message at this moment!!
Maybe there is problem with apple server status??
I am trying to update my iPad2 16gb ios 5.01 to latest ios6.1....
stuck in the usb sign as well >:(

Ipad (4th gen) can't be updated/restored. I get an error message stating "The ipad cannot be restored at this time because the ipad software update server could not be contactded or is temporarily unavailable."

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?
Thanks

I 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.

I don't know - but I am having the same problem and have not had any useful help from Apple Support. Everything they told be to do has been done and it hasn't fixed the problem.
