Is there a problem with iPhone update server, I can't seem to update my IOS on my wife's 3GS iPhone, keep getting message that the server is not reachable, yet I am connected to internet and had no problem syncing the phone or downloading iTunes software
What's up with the iPhone update server. I have repeatedly tried in recent days to update the IOS software on my wife's 3GS iPhone but keep getting message that the iPhone update server cannot be contacted. The phone syncs normally and I am sure I am connected to the internet properly. Also I have successfully updated ITunes software during this same time frame. What gives??
Try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694 and look at this section.
Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

Trying to activate a new iPad mini. Keep getting message that activation server can't be reached and to try through iTunes. I can't go back beyond the language choice screen to select iTunes. Two days of trying to activate. Help?
Apple's download AND activation servers are being stressed today with all the downloads/activations. It might be best to wait and try later.

I have an IPOD Classic 30GB. It would not stay on but a few seconds so I thought the battery was not recharging and bought a new battery. I charged the new battery overnight and when I turned it on I could see the apple for only a few seconds and it would go off. I tried the trouble shooting suggestions and reset the device. The screen is frozen with the message "Please Wait. Very low battery." I also thought it might be a problem with the display but since it is on now, I'm not sure what is going on with it.
There are several types of iPods that are "30GB," 3rd gen ("dock connector"), 4th gen ("click wheel" or "photo"), and 5th gen ("video"). This documents shows the iPod models

Which one is your iPod? Do you use a Mac or Windows PC? Do you have a power adapter? -
I'm trying to update my iPad2 to iOS 7.06. In Settings it says there is an update. As far as I can tell the download completes although it seems to download slowly. But I always get a message saying installation has failed. Any ideas on what to do next? Thanks.
I strongly suggest using the instructions provided in the "Update your device using iTunes" section of the HT4623 article you attached above.

I keep getting messages that the games cannot connect to the game center. Even when I try to open using the "play" incon in the Game Center, I get the same message. The message refuses to do anything when I press either "cancel" or "retry,", it just sits there and the game won't open when it appears.
I have tried resetting the IPad, turning it off/on; re-syncing, etc., and nothing seems to work. Can any one suggest a way to get the stupid Game Center message to close or some other method to open the game?
Thanks.Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") -
Trying to update idad software. Keep getting message that network connection timed out. Don't have a network.

That would be problem number 1. The device MUST be connected to the Internet to download software updates.
I am guessing you are trying to download an iOS update, common causes for the error you mentions are Anti-Virus or Firewall software on the computer preventing files from downloading.
If this doesn't address your issue, try rewording your issue so that we can better understand the problem you are having. -
When Creative Cloud updated a few days ago (Win7) it reported I had no installed apps.
In Lightroom I keep getting messages that a new version is available. Installed it from CC and it installed without error, CC shows I installed it, but it simply fails to run.
How do I get CC to find apps installed under the previous version?
And how do I get Lightroom CC to run?
PeterI still don't know how to get CC to find that I have Photoshop CC installed, but running Creative Cloud, going to Preferences and signing out, then signing in again got Lightroom CC to work.
Since Photoshop CC is still working despite apparently not being installed things are now OK, at least for the moment. But I'm not feeling at all happy with Adobe. -
Why do I keep getting message that not connected to Internet when trying to access amazon yet am very obviously am still connected as can access the apple site or banking sites. Have tried resetting.
I have tried everything I could to fix this, but some things require actually being on Firefox, and since I cannot get on, I cannot click on the tabs to do it. I have even totally uninstalled firefox, and that has not fixed this. I still get the same message that firefox is running and I need to close it or restart (which I have also tried dozens of times). I have removed things like Java, and that has not helped either. If I cannot even get on line in firefox, how can I fix this. I am not crazy about using internet explorer, but right now, it is my only option. I even tried to start in safe mode, and the same message box pops up!

When I go into itunes to sync my computer with my iphone I keep getting message that I must download itunes 10.5, so how come I keep downloading it, but it keeps giving me this message and I can't sync?
What version of iTunes are you currently running? To check, in iTunes go "Help > About iTunes" and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom of the screen. For example, I see:
iTunes: 10.5.2.11 -
All of a sudden I keep getting message that my computer must be restarted and it freezes. I restart it and within minutes it happens again. This is a 27 inch iMac with latest system and software. Any ideas of what is wrong and how to fix it?
10.7.5 is not the latest system, 10.8.3 is. However your message sounds like a Kernel Panic, does the message look similar to About "You need to restart your computer" (kernel panic) messages? If so, then if you can get the machine to restart normally then please post the Kernel Panic Report which you can find by following directions in How to log a kernel panic. Please post back with the KP log, and we can take a look. However if the machine continues to not restart then my guess is a hardware failure suck as a hard disk or failed RAM in which case you should take it into your local Apple Store or AASP for repair.
