Please. i need help. I really want to reset my iPad asap. So frustrated because since the last update, it's soooo slow and apps crashes all the time. THE IPAD SOFTWARE UPDATE SERVER COULD NOT BE CONTACTED. THE NETWORK CONNECTION COULD NOT BE ESTABLISHED. What will I do now?
Are you using Google's DNS Servers? At best change your DNS Servers to point to your provider's DNS.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

i can not resore my ipad 2? the message i keep getting from Itunes 10. is "ipad cannot be rstored at this time because the ipad software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable". What can I do?
Just in case, let's try the following document:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
(If the "Automatically detect settings" checkbox is already checked, try unchecking and rechecking it and clicking OK.) -
What can you do when Ipad upgrade said "Ipad cannot be updated at this time because the ipad software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavilable. Please try again later.
Where can I download the ipad software myself?What entries do you have in your HOSTS file on your PC/Mac?
If you have ever used TinyUmbrella your HOSTS file could be redirecting the request to a local server or Cydia.
Look for any entries which redirect gs.apple.com and comment out or remove. -

Error Message "The iPad software update server could not be contacted."
I cannot access the iTunes software update server from my HP laptop.
I tired updating my iPad 2 via Wi-Fi to the new software and it crashed. The dreaded USB and iTunes symbols appeared and I cannot reset the iPad because when I plug it into the laptop I get an error message saying | cannot contact the iTunes software update server.
I tried a manual reset by holding down the reset/sleep and home buttons and the symbols appear again.
HELP!!!

The iPad software update server could not be contacted or is unavailable.
Hi,
I tried to update my iPad to iOS 4.2.1, but after I downloaded the update, it said it was verifying the update with Apple, and continued to do this for several minutes, then it said Apple's servers could not be reached. It then put my iPad into recovery mode, and told me I had to restore it, which I've tried to do multiple times, but all with the same result. Is there anything I can do?I spent the better part of a day with this problem, including a talk with support people at Apple that were as stumped as me. The next morning (well, today), I took my Macbook and my iPad to someplace where I could try the restore from a different Internet connection, and lo and behold, it worked. So I guess my home network is the issue, although other Internet activity there seems unimpeded. Hope that helps...

When I am trying to update my iPad 2 via syncing it with my PC, I get the following error message: "iPad software update server could not be contacted." Any ideas?
Try rebooting your router and or cable modem. Unplug it/them for about 30 seconds and then plug back in. See if it works then. Reboot your iPad as well.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
