Go to Wifi Settings and then select your Wifi Network. Tap the blue arrow to go into Wifi settings and then select the DNS tab.
Set the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and then go back to the software update page.
This time it shall work.
I tried it on an iPad 1 running iOS 5.0.1 but I am sure this shall help.
Do rate me and reply if it works.

This device does not have a sim card in it. Could this be the reason or am I missing something when I am trying to update.
Yes. You can't update or restore any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim card need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. If you want to update, you need to get a sim card.

edit the hosts file on your computer and remove any lines that contain gs.apple.com. Disable your antivirus and firewall.

Trying to select software updates under GENERAL.    Getting error popup message "Unable to Check for Update.   An error occurred while checking for a software update.    I can try again or cancel.    Cancel brings me back to Settings/General screen.

Unable to Check for Update on OS 5.1

My iPad 2 will not update its software over the air and comes up with the message Unable to Check for Update. I have tried updating via iTunes 10.6 and it just sits there trying to contact the update server. I have also reset the iPad and restored from backup. Exactly the same problem!
Its nothing to do with the network as i get exactly the same problem at work as i do at home. My iPhone 4S updated to 5.1 without any problem. However my iPad just does not want to know.
Please help!

Correction. I started the update on my iPhone and my wife's iPad. However, they never finished. Each one returned an error message stating that the "Software Update Failed. An error occurred downloading iOS 5.1." I can't even get my ipad2 to get that far. It returns an error when trying to contact the server.

I have clicked the Apple Software Update,a window pops up with Failed to check for updates.The operation couldn t be completed. Operation not permitted.This only occurring now did not happen previously.I am using 10.7.4,on a Mbp Pro.

Uninstall Intego...you don't need it.

How may one cancel the download of an update that was started by having actuated the "Check for Updates" button in the "About Firefox" window, please?

How may one cancel the download of an update that was started by having actuated the "Check for Updates" button in the "About Firefox" window, please? If possible please cover all platforms, Mac, Windows, Linux, although the first mentioned is what currently applies to my circumstances.
Thank you.

Such a download is usually saved in an updates or updated folder in the Firefox program/application folder.
You can delete this folder to cancel the download.
If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
