HT4623 iOS 7 update is stuck - using iTunes to update
Hi Folks,
Backed up my iPad, went into iTunes for the update. Looked like it went through all the steps and then my iPad just shows the iTunes/USB graphic and iTunes on my PC doesn't show my iPad under the devices.
I did a hard reboot (power + home) and it hasn't changed. Reboot my PC as well.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
I'm sure they are being bombarded! I was going to wait, but... well, I got impatient!
I would think that eventually I would either see the device in iTunes or the USB/iTunes graphic will change on the iPad, correct? I have no problem restoring if I have to do that, but right now, I have no way to do that as iTunes is not recognizing the device at all.

am update my iphone 3gs ios4.1 to ios 6.0.1 using itunes when update comleted itunes show a message Were sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time. Please try again later, or contact customer care! pls help me pls
Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?

There was some updayts for my iPad 4 automatically downloaded. After installing it, the iPad began to restart itself every few minutes.
I tryed to update my iPad using iTunes. After connecting to MacBook Pro, where is installed all latest software, iPad is recognised as "iPad", Serial Number: n/a. iTunes run recovery mode, trying to restore iPad firmware, and in the end unknown error occured (3). Tried many times, not results. And now iPad stays only in recovery mode, can't switch it off. How can I solve this problem please?When I restart my iPad the connect to iTunes comes up and stays on until it shuts down again, I have read a report from Apple support suggesting I reinstall iTunes so I might try that again and also your suggestion which i shall also try, but thanks again - rg1547

I had my iPad for some time now and it's been activated and works. Then it auto updated to the new iOS7 and requires me to re-activated it, yet I cannot. This is the message that keeps popping up "Your iPad could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting you iPad to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes." I've tried countless times and still I get this message, I own a PC and never had downloaded iTunes before, so I finally downloaded it and tried to run it and I get this message "itunes cannot read because was created by a newer version." I never had iTunes before so I don't understand the message, i was going to look it up myself but I figured to post my questions here first. What can I do to activate my iPad? My wifi works great, it was activated before the update, can't use iTunes and I keep getting the same message on my iPad. I hope someone can help me and explain it in baby steps.
Hey beetlethug,
I found the following troubleshooting steps for when you're experiencing activation issues, I'd give them a shot:
Perform the following steps:
Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.

When i try to update my ipod using iTunes, it say it can't be done b/c it cant contact my ipod software server!!!
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
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem -
After I synced my iphone (4S with ios 8.1.2) using itunes with MS outlook on my new PC , suddenly all my contacts without telephone number and what I have the name of the contact only ?
I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again. -

I have just bought iPhone 3gs in Sept.11. I was trying to update the software using itunes but it is showing Error "-3259" saying connection timeout. Please help.
Did you already check your securit software settings? iTunes has to contact Apple during the update process.

I have a wifi connection but "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet" I have reset everything; I have used Itunes to update and reset. Still no good. It worked until 2 days ago
Reset everything.. did you do this?
Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings
If you're already been there, done that, could be a third party app preventing Safari from accessing the web.
Re sync your apps 5 at a time, then test the iPad. -
After update my iphone using itunes it requesting to put invalid sim
after update my iphone using itunes it requesting to put invali sim
Sounds like your phone was unlocked in an unapproved manor. Updating it locked the phone so now your sim is invalid. You need to figure out what carrier your phone is locked to and se if you can open an account trhough them or see if they can unlock it.
