Trying to update my iPhone to iOS 6 but get a MSG saying "unable to check for updates"...?
Trying to update my iPhone 4S to iOS 6 and it tells me..."unable to check for update", an error occurred while checking for a software update. What's up with that? Any suggestions/incite would be appreciated.
Go to iTunes.com, then click on Download iTunes on the top right area, then on the next screen make sure it states iTunes 11.1 on the left side and email is not necessary then click on download now in the blue button. Issue should be resolved

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

This device does not have a sim card in it. Could this be the reason or am I missing something when I am trying to update.
Yes. You can't update or restore any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim card need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. If you want to update, you need to get a sim card. -

I found a fix for this.
Go to Wifi Settings and then select your Wifi Network. Tap the blue arrow to go into Wifi settings and then select the DNS tab.
Set the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and then go back to the software update page.
This time it shall work.
I tried it on an iPad 1 running iOS 5.0.1 but I am sure this shall help.
Do rate me and reply if it works. -

Unable to Check for Update on OS 5.1
My iPad 2 will not update its software over the air and comes up with the message Unable to Check for Update. I have tried updating via iTunes 10.6 and it just sits there trying to contact the update server. I have also reset the iPad and restored from backup. Exactly the same problem!
Its nothing to do with the network as i get exactly the same problem at work as i do at home. My iPhone 4S updated to 5.1 without any problem. However my iPad just does not want to know.
Please help!Correction. I started the update on my iPhone and my wife's iPad. However, they never finished. Each one returned an error message stating that the "Software Update Failed. An error occurred downloading iOS 5.1." I can't even get my ipad2 to get that far. It returns an error when trying to contact the server.

I'm trying to download songs that was transferred via Carbonite, not getting message that states "Unable to check for available downloads, iTunes is temporally unavailable". What do I do? Any suggestions??
Same problem, I have a season pass for Mad Men and suddenly cannot download, says iTunes is temporarily unavailable. Problem occurred before I updated to the new iTunes and afterwards, on two different computers. Here is what Apple had to say:
"I have verified that the iTunes Store is functioning and accepting connections, which indicates that the issue is related to your internet connection, local network, or your local computer itself. This article outlines some of the likely culprits:

If you are still unable to connect to the iTunes Store or receive this error, you will need to call our AppleCare technical support team.
