Ipad 4 can not contact ipad server to restore

Yesterday I tried to update my new ipad 4 to the new iOS, but it didn't work. The screen shows a picture to connect to iTunes. So, I did that, but now it says " the iPad software update server could not be contacted. Today, same message? What can I do now?

First make sure your OS on your computer is up to date then iTunes is up to date. Then make sure that if you have any security software, that it allows iTunes to access the Internet.

  • Client can not contact WSUS server.

    Hello everyone
    I have a WSUS 3.0 server (v3.2.7600.226) and 3 test clients.
    The WSUS server is on subnet xxx.xx.30.xx
    Client1 is on the same subnet as WSUS (no problem receiving updates)
    Client2 is on subnet 52(no problem receiving updates)
    Client3 is on subnet 25 (can not contact WSUS, therefore does not receive updates)
    All the clients are standalone machines, they do not belong to any domain.
    What I tried so far with no success:
    disabled firewall on server
    tried this fixit on the client: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/836941/en-us
    Stopped wuauclt and bits services, renamed
    %windir%/SoftwareDistribution folder, restarted services
    Read a number of forum posts and blogs but could not find a solution.
    Client3 Facts:
    It is a fresh windows 7 installation, no updates have been installed.
    Can ping the FQDN and IP address of WSUS server.
    Unlike Client1 and 2, Client3 can not visit the ISS7 web page when I enter the FQDN on a browser.
    Run checkdiag.exe which reported the following:

    Client3 Facts:
    It is a fresh windows 7 installation, no updates have been installed.
    I'm having an issue with this statement, although I don't think it's a contributing factor. I'm skeptical how a "fresh Win7 installation" can get a v7.6 WUA installed... Win7RTM shipped with v7.4, and Win7SP1 shipped with v7.5 ... so SOMETHING updated this
    machine to WUA v7.6!
    Unlike Client1 and 2, Client3 can not visit the ISS7 web page when I enter the FQDN on a browser.
    This is your key consideration right here. If the browser can't get to the webserver, then the WUA ain't never gonna be able to get to the webservices hosted on that webserver.

  • Can not contact the server

    Only Acrobat.com and Adobe Media Player can not connect to
    the internet through the Symantec Firewall. Every other application
    work perfectly with the internet. Since both of these require Adobe
    Air it seems that the issue is with how the internet connection is
    made. Is there a particular protocol or port that is used?

    I am using the latest Symantec Endpoint Protection and with
    Network Threat Protection enabled it blocks both Acrobat.com and
    Adobe Media Player. The raw data is below and shows the remote port
    being 80 and the local port being 1582. I modified some of the data
    before posting.

    AM Block and log IP traffic
    If I disable Network Protection they both work. The first
    time I did get a message that I needed to do an update which I did
    but that did not resolve the issue. Every other Adobe application
    that I use seems to work fine.

  • HT201441 I purchased a used ipad and it is locked under the old owner. I can not contact them. What do i do?

    I purchased a used ipad. It is locked under the old owners icloud (find my device) I can not contact them. What can i do?
    thx

    Same thing happened to me this last weekend. Bought an iPad on Craigslist and turns out I got duped and I can't get a hold of the chick who sold it to me. I called Apple as well as local law enforcement agencies (wasn't stolen and they can't do anything). Apple won't contact original owner for you because of their privacy policy. Unless someone figures out a way to bypass iCloud, the only solution is to sell it for parts on eBay. That's what I'm doing! List it on eBay with a reserve, start it at $0.99 on a Sunday night 7 day auction and hopefully you will get your money back. I am getting a lot of response on mine so far.
    Hopefully Apple will at least begin contacting original iCloud registrants (whoever registered the serial number) to see if product was stolen and if they can remove it from their devices. There needs to be some sort of solution for people who buy Apple products second-hand legitimately!

  • I can not contact owner to remove apple id password on iPad i brought

    i can not contact owner of a iPad that i brought from a fle market. how can i get this password removed

    There's nothing you can do: this is iCloud Activation Lock. More here: Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    This iPad has probably been stolen in the past.

  • Why does it say itunes can not contact the ipod update server because you are not connected to the internet when i am connected to the internet?

    why does it say itunes can not contact the ipod update server because you are not connected to the internet when i am connected to the internet? i need to update my ipod i even changed the LAN settings and it stilll doesnt work

  • How do you remove an apple id when you can not contact the previous user?

    I am working with a local Pawn shop that purchased an ipad from an indavidual. They restored the ipad and apparently, the contact info from the user is bogus. So, is there any way to get the apple id removed when you can not contact the previous owner? I have the serial number and any other info that may be needed.

    No, there is no way to remove the previous user ID. If the previous owners information was bogus the iPad is likely stolen.

  • Message can not connect to server

    Who can help me on it?
    Thanks.

    your error says:

    check that your node manager is running when you try to start de manage server.

  • "Reader could not contact the server to complete the request" error

    While trying to tranfer a document into pdf format I have suddenly received the above error - "Reader could not contact the server to complete the request"  I have already transfered three or four documents today, but now am suddenly receiving this error.  I have tried rebooting my server to check for issues on my end but it is fine.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    Hi there,
    Here are some suggestions you can try:
    a) Ensure your internet connection is available and try again.
    b) If you are using an older version of Reader, try installing the latest (Reader XI) and try again.
    c) Log into the web app (createpdf.acrobat.com) and click on Convert to PDF on the right hand pane and try converting to PDF from there.
    Laura.

  • LDAP Bind Failure: Can't contact LDAP server in Presentation Server

    I have configured LDAP configuration in the RPD and am able to connect to the LDAP from the BI server. Its returning the information i need when i test through the admin tool. But when i try to log in from the PS using the same network id and password, it gives me the below error:
    State: 08004. Code: 10018. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: 08004] [nQSError: 10018] Access for the requested connection is refused. [53003] LDAP bind failure: Can't contact LDAP server. (08004).
    I know for sure, the network connectivity is working as i get my results back from the BI Server. Please advise, if i need to change other configurations on the Presentation end. As my network folks have run out of ideas. Thx!

    Yes, i am pinging from OBIEE Server through the RPD and i am successful.Pinging the OBIEE Server through the RPD? Ping is a DOS command, how can oyu "ping through the RPD".
    Can you go to the server, open a CMD windows and do "ping nsldap.companyname.com" and see if it works. If it works it could be that the LDAP port is blocked by a firewall or OBIEE is not able to make a connection. Make sure you are using the correct port as well. Install an LDAP client in your OBIEE Server and test that you can connect to your LDAP server from your OBIEE Server, not from the RPD. You can use this:

    Hello all—
    I've been getting repeated errors below in my system.log.  I'm running OS X 10.9.3 with Server version 3.1.2.  I've replaced my actual server name with "my.servername.net" in the log entries. Thanks for any advice!  —michael

    Unfortunately this problem wasn't solved this way.  After dragging the Server.app to the trash and then retrieving it ("Put Back") and launching it, and re-starting services, my problem still persists.

    Also, for what it's worth, "Open Directory" in the Server.app has no settings within it. Nor will it stay "on." I'm not using OD per se, and am happy to leave it off, but it's possible the errors above are preventing it from running.
    Thanks for any other solutions. —michael

  • Can't contact LDAP server

    Hello,
    Have setup DSEE 7 in the following manner 2 ldap hosts running Solaris 10 10/08 s10x_u6wos_07b X86
    These 2 ldap servers are connected into another host that is running the DSCC console. Everything from the DSCC console looks
    good and works good. Problem is when I try to connect with ldapsearch I get this error " ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Can't contact LDAP server (-1) "
    SSL certs are current and contain the subject alternative name for each ldap host. These are behind a cisco content switch. It does not appear to be a SSL
    issue from what I can see. The certs are enabled on the ldap hosts and from the debugging output that looks ok. ldapsearch below was run from a linux host.

    Since I do get a good connection status against the CSS address ldapt.test.mydom.com on port 636, That would seem to be a good sign. 
    These are listening on each ldap instance

    *.ldaps              *.*                0      0 49152      0 LISTEN
    Perhaps this is something I am missing on the setup side for the ldap hosts from inside DSCC ?   Logs from the ldap servers have not provided much insight...

    Do you actually want to use a secure connection? If not, you could add "-x" to that ldapsearch and it will perform plain auth (not SASL).
