No contact with iPhone sw update service

Hi,
I have contact with iTunes store, and buying music, films are working fine.
BUT, when pushing the button in iTunes for 'search for iPhone updates', I got a message from iTunes telling med that there is no contact with internett - please tyr later. But I'm am able to purchase music from iTunes store, so the internett connection is working fine... This started when I got new computer, could it be something in the firewall ? Please help !! I want to upgrade my 1.1.4 iPhone to 2.x.. Regards from Norway

Although it relates to the iPod it might be worth trying.

  • ITunes could not contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the internet...???

    Ok I’m completely lost here....
    I’m running Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (Build 2600), I updated iTunes to 11.0.2.25 and some other updates for windows last night on my laptop. I try connecting to download the iOS 6.1.2 update for my iPhone 4 and my iPhone 5 via iTunes. I am getting this message for both "iTunes could not contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the internet. Make sure your internet connection is active and try again." Everything was fine with connecting prior to running these updates because I downloaded the 6.1 update with no problems when it came out.
    What I have done so far with which has made no difference:
    Checked my internet connection
    Changed my internet connection
    Signed out of iTunes and then signed back in
    Ran diagnostics via iTunes, comes back with: Network interfaces verified- Internet connection failed- Secure link to iTunes store verified
              Connection attempt to Apple web site was successful.
              Connection attempt to browsing iTunes Store was successful.
              Connection attempt to purchasing from iTunes Store was successful.
              Connection attempt to iPhone activation server was successful.
              Connection attempt to firmware update server was successful.
              Connection attempt to Gracenote server was successful.
              Last successful iTunes Store access was 2013-02-20 20:40:48.
    Disabled firewall, spy sweeper, virus scanner
    start>run>cmd> typed "netsh winsock reset"
    Rebooted
    Checked the parental controls in iTunes
    Start>control panel>internet options>connections tab> lan settings> selected the "automatically detect settings"
    Deleted iTunes and reinstalled iTunes
    When I would "ping gs.apple.com" it would come back with "request timed out" no matter what internet connection I was on, so I went into the hosts file  start>my computer>(C:)>WINDOWS>system32>drivers>ect>HOSTS and added  "#     127.0.0.1     gs.apple.com". Now it will ping gs.apple.com just fine but still comes up with the "iTunes could not contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the internet" message in iTunes when i try to download the update.
    If anyone can come up with any ideas that I haven’t tried, please let me know. This is keeping me back from updating both of my phones along with if anything should ever happen to them; restores as well. 

    im computer is connected i can go to the apple store through itunes but when i plug my phone in i keep getting that alert... i plugged my phone in to update it after the apple loaded the itunes icon and a usb showed up.

  • Which email or which phone no. i can contact with apple after-sale service center? I need to send back to amend or replace!

    my new iphone 4S was bought from las vegas only for 1 month.And it is with serious quality problem, battery did not work and has liquid came out,Now i am in china, what phone no. or which mail i can contact with apple after-sale service center? I need to send back to US to amend or replace.
    All of the guys in apple now told me that it is not worldwide guarantee,which is different from the promise when i bought,i am disappointed!!!
    I need your help to tell me how i can contact with them and where i can send back the iphone to amend.

    The only email I have ever comes across for complaints would be [email protected] (it is not mis-spelled).  I don't know if it is still of use.
    Chat is going to be your only option for getting help, and you shouldn't be surprised if they don't offer help due to your product no longer being supported (sad but true).
    If you had not mentioned that you have an email confirming you registered (double-check that) I would have told you that you probably did not purchase thru Adobe and never registered it so they have no record of you owning it.  They do not email serial numbers for disc purchases - they are provided with the discs as you were told in chat.

  • TS1814 iTunes could not contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the Internet.

    I have attempted all of the above suggestions and am still receiving the same error message. I have also turned my internet security off and have received the same message. I am using a dongle for my internet, would this make a difference?

    Okay I haven't been able to update my iPhone ever since I updated my iTunes to the 8.0 version either! I just followed your instructions and changed the setting on my control panel and then asked to update and it started updating and after about 10 seconds it popped up with the same message that iTunes could not contact the iPhone software update because you are not connected to the internet. Check back or try again later or whatever. So I went back to the Internet Connections to make sure that my changes saved and they did but it still will not update my phone...this is soooo frustrating!!!! Please help!

  • Trying to restore my iphone 5 throught iTunes and it says contacting the iphone software update on my mac book for the past 4 hours

    I went to update to the new ios and my phone immediately went into recovery mode. I called apple and they said I had to restore my iphone 5. I did what they told me to do through iTunes on my macbook and now the box that says Contacting the IPhone software update server has been there for 4 hours with no progress.

    It can not do that all by itself.
    When you plugged it in, iTunes said 'Oh goody! You got a new phone! Would you like to make it just like your old phone?'...
    You explicitly said 'Yes'.
    You can't undo that.
    No backup of the current state of the new phone was made. It was wiped and the last backup of your old phone was restored to it.
    Anything you had on the new phone is gone.

  • Itunes could not contact the iphone software update server 10/2013

    I get this error everytime I plug my 5s or 4s into itunes. I have connectivity, no firewall, av etc to gs.apple.com. When iOS 7 launched, it crashed while veryifng the ipsw with the apple servers. I eventually had to plug my 4s into my desktop in order to get iOS 7 to properly install. Both are on the same network, so I think something is screwy with my itunes install. I've tried to remove completely, but still no go with either phone.

    "itunes could not contact the iphone software update server because you are not connected to the internet"
    With that one, try the following document:

    (If that box is already checked, try unchecking and rechecking it, and then clicking okay.)

  • No contact to iphone software updates

    Hey, when i want to start reconstruction of the iphone in i tunes there is no contact to iphone software updates, because of no contact to the internet. But there is a good contact to the internet, and the fire wall is accepting itunes. Cann any body help me?

    Before starting this, try temporarily disabling your antivirus, anti-adware, anti-spyware, and any other anti-whatever that is running and required with that secure OS your computer is running.

  • ICloud doesn't syncronize the contacts with iPhone

    iCloud doesn't syncronize the contacts with iPhone.

    Hey there keope5,
    Depending on where you are editing the Contacts, the troubleshooting to be done can vary. If you are updating them at www.icloud.com or another device/computer and the edits arent being reflected on your iOS device, use the iOS troubleshooting in the following article on your phone:
    Get help using iCloud Contacts
    If you are using another iOS device, or a computer and the edits do NOT reflect at www.icloud.com, use the appropriate section for that device instead.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • What do you do when your contacts with IPHONES or IPADS are not showing up in blue in IMESSAGE on my IPAD. The are showing up in RED and not allowing me to IMESSAGE them at all.

    What do you do when your contacts with IPHONES or IPADS are not showing up in blue in IMESSAGE on my IPAD. The are showing up in RED and not allowing me to IMESSAGE them at all.

    It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did. 
    Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
    I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

  • I cant update my iphone and i tried going on my pc on itunes and clicking check for update button but it says that "itunes could not contact the iphone software update server because you are not connected to the internet".plz help

    i cant update my iphone and i tried going on my pc on itunes and clicking check for update button but it says that "itunes could not contact the iphone software update server because you are not connected to the internet". But i checked my internet on both my pc and iphone and tried again but it still says the same thing. plzz plzz help

    Were you definitely connected to the internet at the time? If you don't have iOS 5 on your iPhone then the only way to update it would be via iTunes, once updated to the latest version of iOS you'll be able to update your iPhone without connecting to iTunes "over-the-air".
    Before updating however it goes without saying to Backup your iPhone, this should happen by default upon connecting your iPhone to iTunes.
