  • HT201210 Cannot be restored at this time because the iphone update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable

    Please help trying to restore my device but keep getting an error message Cannot be restored at this time because the iphone update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable

    Restore the iPhone when connected to iTunes by cable.
    Still the same TS1275?
    Is your iPhone jailbroken?
    Or
    Has your computer ever been used to jailbrake or downgrade (Tinyumbrella) any iPhone?

  • 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.

    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.

    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

  • I am using my iPhone 5 to take pictures and have started a blog with pictures. I am not able to do the update on my phone due to lack of memory.

    I am using my iPhone 5 to take pictures and have started a blog with pictures. I am not able to do the update on my phone due to lack of memory. I wanted to know how much difference this will make to my pictures.
    If anyone had suggestions on how to maximize picture quality n use without the update, I'd appreciate it
    <Link Edited By Host>

    If the lack of space on your phone is due to pictures, you may want to consider transferring some (or all) to a computer and deleting them from the phone. That is a good practice even if you have space on the phone. Instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083

  • HT201441 after erasing data I dont know apple password id because not able to contact with original owner ihave taken second hand now I am not able to use iphone so what I should do and I am having phone iphone 4s

    I have reset my account and I am the second owner of the iphone 4s and now i am not able to contact with first owner for apple id and password so what I do now in order to use my iphone

    This is really a problem, and unfortunately you won't be able to do anything, if you cannot contact the previous owner. (See also: https://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515)

    I hv iPhone with ios 6.0.2
    My iphone could not able to check for update…it’s just showing “checking for updates” with loading sign
    How can I upgrade to ios 7?
    Help pls

    I agree- I apologize if I sounded skeptical and attacking. In no way did I mean it to sound that way.
    I completely agree on the software-hardware combo issue- this is why apple killed off 1G and 2G devices- because newer software revisions would never ever run well if at all on such ancient devices. can you imagine running iOS 6 on an iPhone/iPod touch 1G? That would be terrible. Let alone iOS 3 runs terrible on them and now are generally rendered useless due to newer App Store requirements (most require 4.3+ now to allow apple to kill off the older devices). forcing newer software on older hardware (apple, dell, HP,... Anything electronic this definitely applies to) will almost always yield less-than-par results. The other part is apple forcing you to upgrade by means of intentially making things obsolete. all companies do that.
    All of this factual info aside, the issue at hand with the 5 is not a software-hardware combo problem- those are most widely seen with the major revisions. then again, this isn't the first time apple has gotten caught up in battery drain snafus (even iOS 5 was plagued with this as well- and now there are some people desperate to roll back but can't). it basically waters it down to the point where keeping the stock software will always yield the best results even though newer versions provide better features- it all depends on whether or not the person deems the added features are worth a performance hit.
    PS. I'm still at 100%- and I've been using it periodically throughout the day. your combo worked for you, but didn't for me. And may or may not work for others- As the tech world would say, mileage may vary.
    PSS. What model/carrier do you have? Just wondering.

  • Not able to activate after updating to ios6.1 on iphone 4s

    not able to activate after updating to ios6.1 on iphone 4s , it says servers temp unavailable....

    Hey JYTF1975,
    That is never a good time when you are getting error messages when you are trying to restore. If you are getting a bunch of variations of error 0xE and on windows, take a look at the article below for some troubleshooting options to get it back up so you can use your iPhone.

  • Update hung up on "Contacting the iPhone update server

    I got a message that my 5S needs an OS update, so I plugged into iTunes on my PC.  For an hour, the update has been hung up on "Contacting the iPhone update server."  What gives?

    Hello dj003,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that your iTunes is stalling when it attempts to contact the iPhone update server. In this situation I would recommend reading over and working through the troubleshooting steps outlined in the attached article.

  • Not able to use software-update but still connected to the internet

    Hi there , I am currently on 10.5.6 but did this upgrade manually. When I tried to use Software-Update it gave me : Cannot contact the update server. I am connected through Airport Extreme with my Macbook. My IMac is also on this Airport Express and is working fine (Included SoftwareUpdate).
    However I can work on the internet and use Email with my Macbook.
    Itunes is also not able to conect and my widgets are also not working.
    Like I said: On my Imac everything works fine.
    Can anyone help?? please

    There are several things to try.
    First check what is installed. Go to Safari's Help menu and select Installed Plug-Ins. If you see this
    application/x-java-applet;version=1.3.1
    then it is installed and the banking website is not interpreting it correctly.
    Next, go to Safari Preferences, click Advanced, and select "show develop menu in menu bar". Go to the website and then, from Safari's newly enabled Develop menu, select User Agent > some other version of Safari. You can actually select whatever you want - perhaps the banking website is checking your browswer for compatibility.
    If this doesn't work, download and install another browser such as Firefox or Chrome. Try the banking website with one of them. If it works then either continue to use it, or tell the bank to fix its problem with Safari.

    Can you mention the steps you used before running the ales_install script? Which WLS version are you using for Admin Server? Is it CP3 or CP4 patched?
