    Hello! Just connected a used iPhone to iTunes for the first time. I'm trying to restore it to factory settings/default. The phone is connected via Wi-Fi and is updated to the most recent OS that the phone allows. The computer is also connected to the internet. But I still get the error: "itunes could not contact the iphone software update server because you are not connected to the internet." I also connected via iTunes and authorized the computer, but still have the same issue. Really, all I need to do is completely wipe the phone and start from scratch for safety's sake.
    Help?

    Did you check your security software settings?
    Third-party security software might conflict with iOS devices connecting to iTunes. Follow this article to troubleshoot issues that might be caused by your security software.

  • HT1976 how to connect internet on iPhone 4s ?????????

    how to connect internet on iPhone 4s ?????????

    Do you have a data plan with your carrier?
    Is the device successfully connecting to their network?
    Is the device connected to Wi-Fi?
    Do other devices connected to the Wi-Fi successfully connect to the Internet?
    Instead of asking such a vague question... maybe a better solution would be to state what is actually occurring when you attempt to do anything on the device that requires an Internet connection

  • Unable to connect internet using Bluetooth in my E...

    Hi
    Iam using Nokia E5.
    Iam able to connect to mobile internet to laptop using USB connection,while using bluetooth for connceting internet iam getting below error.
    "failed to connect to network.the modem is in use by another application ormay not be configured properly"
    please advise how to over come this.

    Same problem here with E72...well in 75% of cases, sometimes it connect easily, which make me believe the settings are correct.
    Any news here? Does the problem lie with the computer or with the phone? Sometimes, but usually not, restarting one or both device helps.
    Thanks,

  • What is the safest way to browse the internet using iPhone 4s?

    iPhone 4s
    OK I love to use my iPhone to search the internet. I would say at least 50% of my time on the iPhone is doing just that.
    When I search the internet using my iPhone, I like to use Google as my search engine.
    I downloaded the Google app to use. I guess I always thought the Google app ran through the safari browser. My understanding is that safari is a safe browser particularly on the iPhone. But now I learn that by using the Google app, I am NOT going through the safari browser. My understanding is that the Google app goes directly to the Google servers. Ok
    So when I look at my safari settings on the phone, I see that Google is the default browser.
    So I guess story short, what is the safest way to browse the internet on my iPhone?
    Using the Google app?
    Using safari browser with Google as the search engine?

    I'm not trying to be unkind but I think you're way overthinking the whole notion of safety on your iPhone. Unless you jailbreak it, you're not going to get viruses or malware, regardless of what browser you use. I generally use Chrome. If you use the Google search app (which I like very much, by the way), you're using its internal browser which, I suspect, is based on Chrome.
    I remain unclear about what you're afraid is going to happen when you use the internet from you iPhone. Can the NSA track you? Sure. So does your mobile carrier. But they can both do that without you accesing the web. Can you stumble on a nefarious website that tries to trick you into giving up sensitive information? Sure. Again, you just have to use good judgement about who you give information to, just a you would in person. Browser doesn't matter. Can you still find really icky "adult' sites? Yup. But most of them require Flash to view the videos.
    Relax, enjoy your phone. I suspect you're in more danger from Candy Crush (the average player spends almost $3 a DAY playing!!!) than anything you find through your browser.
    Best of luck.

  • Why can't I use a Bluetooth connection to Use iPhone to control Keynote on iPad?

    The help function in Keynote for iPad explains how this should work, but it doesn't!

    I have the same issue. Anyone figure this out? When teaching, cannot use wi-fi since requires log-in (which times out on the iPhone). Supposedly should be able to use Bluetooth to connect, but the iPad does not see the iPhone even though both are discoverable.
    Really need this to work!

  • Connecting a used iPhone with iTunes for the first time

    When i bought my 5s end of last year i switched it on coming out of the box, without connecting it to iTunes. I started making back-ups to iCloud.
    Now i want to connect it to iTunes to make a back-up, but iTunes thinks it's a new device and only proposes me either to restore an old back-up, or to start using the device "as new".
    I'm afraid of losing everything chosing that last option, and the last back-up on my iMac must be one of my iPhone 4 so i wouldn't want that either.
    Now how can i make a back-up with iTunes in that case?

    not sure if you read what i wrote..
    iTunes only proposes me to either restore an old back-up, or to start using the device "as new".
    So it's not possible to click any backup button in this case

  • How can I remotely access files over the internet using iPhone? VPN? Do I need to use Server?

    Please forgive my ignorance here, as I'm a Windows expert but have only been using Mac for two and a half years. Is it possible to securely access predefined directories on my iMac from a remote computer or device over the inernet, be it a MacBook Pro, iPhone or even a Windows computer or Android phone? Is there an advantage to an Apple-only approach (iPhone and Macs)? Do I need to use Server? Is VPN the method of choice, or is there some other method? I'm not looking to do remote desktop control, just remote file access. Right now I'm using DropBox for the things I need most, but I absolutely will not put sensitive information in there, and soon I will need to have access to more than what DropBox can hold. Also it may be worth noting that I'm currently an Android user but will be going back to iPhone soon if it would be advantageous in this regard.
    Thanks!
    Daniel

    If you desire security, you definately want to use VPN so Lion Server will work.  Otherwise, if you have sysadmin experience (or know someone who does), there are free alternatives out there for vpn that can be setup on a cheap linux server and provide the same capabilities.

    If you are connecting to the Internet via WiFi on your laptop, why can you not connect to the Internet via WiFi on your iPhone?
    There is no reason to connect the iPhone to the laptop or vice versa.

  • Why can I only connect to the internet using my IPhone 5S 4G via a USB and not wirelessly?

    Apologies if I'm not using the right jargon ... I have a laptop (Dell Latitude D510 - Windows 7 Ultimate) that can connect to my Mobile Broadband wirelessly no problem but I can't utilise my IPhone's 4G connection (iOS 7.0.5) unless I use the USB cable (my personal hotspot is also on). I can't connect wirelessly to my personal hotspot without the USB cable. It keeps saying Windows is unable to connect to my IPhone. I have tried to troubleshoot this myself but can't find an obvious problem. Interestingly I could only connect via my USB when I downloaded the ITunes program as my computer failed to recognise my IPhone. Furthermore, I have a Dell Alienware laptop which has no problems connecting to my IPhone either way - USB or wirelessly (also has ITunes downloaded). I've searched the Internet forums for an answer on but I can't find one. Can anyone help? Thanks if you can.

    Personal Hotspot requires a password:

  • WHEN I USED TO CONNECT INTERNET FROM MY IPHONE 4S PERSONAL HOTSPOT VIA USB, AN ICON IN THE NETWORK PREFERENCE NAMED "IPHONE" GETS OPENED.... BUT NOW THIS IS NOT HAPPENING AND I AM NOT ABLE TO CONNECCT PERSONAL HOTSPOT VIA USB CABLE. PLEASE HELP ME OUT

    WHEN I USED TO CONNECT INTERNET FROM MY IPHONE 4S PERSONAL HOTSPOT VIA USB, AN ICON IN THE NETWORK PREFERENCE NAMED "IPHONE" APPEARS.... BUT NOW THIS IS NOT HAPPENING AND I AM NOT ABLE TO CONNECT PERSONAL HOTSPOT VIA USB CABLE. PLEASE HELP ME OUT???

    Please don't shout!   Using all uppercase means shouting on the internet.  If your keyboard is stuck please say so, otherwise people will think you are being obnoxious.
    Now the first question is, when you are saying connecting to personal hotspot, have you always been using the iPhone to connect to the internet?   Are you someplace where the only place to connect is available via tethering to the iPhone's celluar network?  Or do you have other options?

    If not this:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
    Also heating sometimes works. See:
    Why can't I select my wifi settings?
    A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Then:
    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? See other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Im Using iPhone 4. i connected to my home WiFi router for browing internet.. Sometimes its automaltically disconnected and must i off and on it again for using.. why its happening?

    Look on the support pages for your WiFi router for a firmware update for the router.
    It's hard to say much more without knowing the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.
