    - Try on another computer/network

  • IPod software server could not be connected

    I receive this error when I try to update my iPod. I confirm that my internet connection is live before I do so. My link to my wireless router is broken after I get the error message. There is probably a way to reconnect it but the only way I know is to reboot. When I shutdown I get a blue screen with DRIVERIRQL_NOT_LESS_OREQUAL. It references a USB port, the one my iPod is connected to, I suppose.
    I used to be able to update my ipod on this PC and can still do so on my laptop. I set all my IE settings on this PC to be the same as my laptop.
    My windows firewall is turned off and I tried the update with my symantec internet security software turned off. Same error.
    I updated all the hardware drivers on my PC. Same error.
    I followed the instructions in Article 304468 which says to validate that the LAN auto detect is on. Same error.
    As per article 93698 I deinstalled:
    iTunes
    Quicktime
    Apple Software update
    Apple Mobile Device support
    Bonjour (although not referenced in the article I noticed that it got installed the first time I deinstalled and reinstalled iTunes)
    I killed all processes related to these before deinstalling them. Afterwards I deleted all related folders in the program directory, all temporary files and all files in trash.
    After reinstalling iTunes I got the same error.
    I use Internet Explorer as my default browser as recommended in another posting.
    I turned off the "Check for publisher's certification revocation" in the IE Advanced Security settings as recommended in another posting.
    I use IE version 7.0.5730.13 and Windows XP pro version 2002 service pack 2.
    Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Message saying "The iTunes software server could not be contacted."?

    I'm trying to restore an iPod touch that has been locked forever and I can't remember the passcode. When I connect the iPod to iTunes, and hit the restore button, I get a message that says "The iTunes software server could not be contacted." Then below that is says to make sure that my network settings are correct, which I've done, and that the connection is active, which it is.

  • The iPhone Software server could not be contacted

    My friend just sold me his iPhone 3GS since he is buying a new one. He says that I need to update the OS version of the phone to iOS 6.0 by using iTunes.
    I downloaded iTunes and tried to update it but it now says the error:
    /quote
    The iPhone Software server could not be contacted.
    Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later.
    /unquote
    I have read some existing queries regarding the above error and I have did some of the workarounds mentioned but it is still not solved. My network settings are updated, network carrier is correct even the ICCID displayed is not blank.
    Below are the data when my 3GS is connected in iTunes:
    Name: iPhone
    Capacity: 14.28 GB
    Software Version: 4.3.2
    In phone settings
    ICCID: 8963 0313 3180 7298 4798
    Carrier: SMART
    BTW im from the Philippines

    Did you ever use your computer to hack or jailbreak any iOS device? If you did your hosts file is corrupted, and you will have to fix it. If you are sure you never used iOS hacking software of any kind then the previous post about antivirus is your next choice.

    You need to contact iTunes support and send an email by following the link I posted.
    Simply going there does nothing.

  • I accidently unplugged my iPod touch during update I tried to restore but the 'iPod update server could not be contacted' PLEASE HELP!

    Hi, please help me
    When my iPod was 'preparing for update' my iPod USB accidently fell out. I turned it on and a usb sign and an arrow to iTunes came up, so I plugged it in. It comes up with a message saying iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode, You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. After that, I clicked restore and it said 'The iPod software server update could not be contacted' and that's it!
    I've tired,
    Resetting my iPod (the usb to iTunes sign still comes up)
    Holding down the Home and Power button at the same time for many seconds
    Restting my computer
    Going into LAN settings and changing that
    Please, I really want it too work as I just got it today for my birthday
    Any help would be much appriciated, thank you
