Ipad software updates states 5.1.1 is latest version
I have recently inherited an ipad from a friend and restored if after connecting it to my laptop, using itunes. I have tried to download a few apps but many state that they need IOS 6. I have tried checking for updates via both methods - using itunes on my laptop when ipad is connected, and through settings-> software update on the ipad itself - but both state that the current version (5.1.1) is the latest available. I am confused.
Yep
Yep apple laughing all he way to the bank
Apple have decided you don't count anymore and have ditched you. Don't update your apps again as they will crash if they haven't already , soon as they do thats it you cant use it anymore - an expensive paperweight or piece of junk

How do I block this msg from always popping up "iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the iTunes Store within iTunes. Use Software Update to download and install the latest version of Safari". I cannot download this software bc my lap top is to old. The msg literally pops up everytime I make any moves on itunes and is VERY annoying.
I have a 2006 MacBook with an Mac OS X version 10.5.
In that case, try downloading a Safari 5.0.5 for leopard from the following location:

I cannot update my ipad2 to ios5. Updating through iTunes on pc Windows Vista, Error message reads "cannot connect to iPad Software Update Server. Tried resetting network settings, still not connecting. Tried updating iTunes, still not connecting.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

When I am trying to update my iPad 2 via syncing it with my PC, I get the following error message: "iPad software update server could not be contacted." Any ideas?
Try rebooting your router and or cable modem. Unplug it/them for about 30 seconds and then plug back in. See if it works then. Reboot your iPad as well.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
I am trying to upgrade my iPad from version 4.3.5 to the new 5.0.1 and I get the above error message. It says, The iPad software update server could not be contacted. I also do not have an Update button when I go into Settings and General.
You must have ios 5 or later for that facility to show up. Meanwhile, keep trying /try later via iTunes on your computer..

When I am trying to upgrade my iOS version I am getting an error message saying " the iPad software update server could not be contacted", I also get an error message prior to that which says the certification of the server is invalid?
Temporarily disable any security software on the computer and try again.

Hi,
Im getting an "ipad software update server could not be contacted" error.
Is it a fault on my end or is it Apple which are still having problems and have disconnected their servers until it's fixed?
ThanksI have been trying to update my ipad 2 to ios5 "All" day with no luck. I will connect my ipad 2 to my mac, it brings up itunes and tells me there is an update, i click the download and update button, and when it gets to to "Contacting ipad update server, it just keeps trying to contact the server. it gives me no error, no matter how long i let it do its thing. i have tried rebooting mac/ipad, and trying over and over again to download, but i cant get past that "Contacting ipad update server." anyone else having this same issue? it seems most people at least are getting somewhat further than this..

I have friends who don't own a computer but want an iPad. They understand they won't be able back up their data but can they get the iPad software updates done at the Apple Store?
I'm not sure about that at this point. When iOS 5 come out there will be a few features such as PC Free setup and OTA (Over the Air) updates. There will also be the new iCloud service coming which will let you wirelessly backup to the cloud. I would tell your friends to wait for the iPad to ship with iOS 5 and these features before buying.

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).

"Can't connect to iPad Software Update Server" Error. How Can I Fix This?
I keep getting an error saying, "The iPad cannot be updated at this time because the iPad software update server could not be contacted or in temporarily unavailable.", whenever I try to update to 3.2.2 or restore my iPad. This has been happening for a couple of months now. Can someone please help me!? Apple only addresses this issue for Windows. And have searched all of google and can't find anything.
Ahha! I have just overcome this problem myself.
Being a highly tech savvy I immediatly assumed that this was a most complex and difficult problem to overcome. So naturally I started looking at things like port 80 and internet proxy options.
But alas, it was my anti-virus which caused this error! A most dispicable fiend.
Solution:
I have Avast anti-virus so I will tell you how I disabled mine.
Open up the program and its friendly user interface, go to Settings at the top. In the newly opened Settings window go to the left and chose Troubleshoot from the nice little list at the bottom and then in the check box area that has appeared uncheck the Avast defence module. Now hit OK / APPLY.
Now you may close Avast completely. (Since exitting out only hides it in the background)
Hit control+alt+delete and open the Task panel.
Scroll across from programs -> processes,
Now find the AvastUI.exe or something along those lines and end that process.
Avast! It is now closed! and you may Restore/Update at will! -
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.) -
I got this error prompt while trying to update my ipad 2: Ipad software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable
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. -
What can you do when Ipad upgrade said "Ipad cannot be updated at this time because the ipad software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavilable. Please try again later.
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. -
My IPAD software update is avail for the iOS 7.0.3 I keep trying to install it. I have my IPAD hooked up to my MAC and the Wi FI, I have internet open It keeps telling me not connected to internet. What am I doing wrong.
You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.
