  • IPhone/Ipad software update fail on MacBook Pro

    Apologies in advance that this will be a bit convoluted. I Try to keep it concise.
    I am trying to update my iPhone/iPad to latest software version 4.3.3. This works fine on my MacBook Air, but not on my MacBook Pro (First i& version, early 2010).
    I phoned Mac support and been through all their check lists (Transfer purchases, backup, sync, turn off firewall, etc.). I have used disk repair, cocktail and Clean-my-Mac. I have removed everything form the startup menu in the admin account (which I am using) and have disabled/removed all security software.
    I am still getting the following error message, after itunes has gone through extracting the software and syncing the device:
    "The iPhone "xxx" cannot be updated at this time because the iPhone software server could not be contacted or is temporaily unavailable." (see shot below).
    As I am using the same wireless router/network connection for the MacBook Air (which as I said updates fine), it is not likely to caused by router settings, but rather something on the MacBook Pro. As I uses it as my main machine and where i keep my Itunes library, I would like to be able to perform the software updates for the iDevices from there.
    Has anyone had the same problem, and possibly a solution. Thanks in advance.
    Cheers,
    Rebane

  • I have an iPhone 6 and an iPad air and each time I try to download the IOS 8.1 update I get the message "software update failed. An error occurred downloading iOS 8." What is wrong? This problem is ridiculous and frankly annoying

  • Ios7 software update failed on ipad, any ideas how to fix?

    I am unable to update my ipad - when I click 'download and install' i get the user agreement which I accept, I then get a message that says "Software Update Failed - An error occured downloading ios 7.1" I had the same issue for ios 7.06. I have tried hard resetting, disconnecting wifi etc.
    Model is MC706B/A
    Current ios version is 7.0.4 (11B554a)
    Any ideas?

    Are you trying to update via wifi, or connected to your computer?
    If wifi, locate your iPad very close to your router so it doesn't drop wifi, or connect to your computer and update.

  • TS1363 ipad cannot be rstored at this time because the ipad software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable

    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.)

  • Still getting "Software Update Failed" when attempting to download iOS 7 on iPhone 4S.

    I've tried countless times now to download iOS 7 on my 4S which is currently running iOS 6.1.3. It downloads completely then in the "Preparing Update..." stage it gives me an error box saying "Software Update Failed. An error occurred downloading iOS 7.0." The same thing happens every time, I've rebooted and reset my pone several times as well as logging in an out of my Apple ID all with no success. It's not like it takes an unusual amount of time downloading or anything, and once it finishes downloading it shows less storage in the "About" section in "Settings" but goes back to where it was once it gives the error message. Just a note, I was able to download iOS 7 on my iPad 3 the day the software was released without a long waiting period or any hassle. I appreciate any input. Thank you.

    Thanks for the response. I have 16.5 GB of available space at the moment. I've tried it connected to a wall charger and connected to my wifi, my schools wifi, and my gyms wifi all with no success. I have not tried it from iTunes but after posting this question a few suggestioned discussions came up, one of which recommended backing up to iCloud or iTune and then performing a complete restore. I'm in the process of doing that now, whether it works or doesn't work I will get back to either way. Thanks again.

  • Software Update Failed An error occurred downloading iOS 7.0

    I can't seem to update my iPad mini.  Looks like the release of iOS 7 just came out and it's not letting me update.  I keep getting a message "Software Update Failed An error occurred downloading iOS 7.0".
    Can anyone from apple tell me why I'm getting this message?  And how to resolve it.
    Thanks for any help.

    The entire planet Earth is trying to download the same thing at the same time.
    Give it some time.   

  • I've been trying for 2 weeks to update my iPhone 4S (7.0.6) to iOS 7.1 OTA but it fails all the time...telling me software update failed..I need some support pls!!

    The problem occurres after the downloading is complete and when its in "Preparing Update" procedure and specfically in its last progress (near the end). Suddenly a message pop ups saying that "Software Update Failed" \n "An error occured downloading iOS 7.1."
    I've restarted the update process for the 20 th time!!! and reset my iphone twice to factory settings, but still nothing change, same error occures...
    My iPhone specs
    Version : 7.0.6 (11B651)
    Model : MD235AE/A

    Did it work for you with iTunes?
    I have the same problem with my iPad mini. I have done almost all updates of my iOS devices OTA.
    I never update issues before.
    Also iPad 2 and iPhone 5 just worked fine.
    Only now my iPad mini struggles with the update. Did a factory reset too.
    And now have iOS 7.0.2 (11A501) on an iPad Model MD543FD/A.
    World prefer OTA instead of iTunes.
    Thank you for any help.

  • 4S update from 7.1.2 to 8.1.2, says Software update failed

    The device is confirmed it is a 4s, but we never upgraded to IOS 8 yet.  I continue to get the Software Updated failed and the close and settings box comes up.  Whichever you click on it goes back to the update screen.  I am on very fast Wifi and the device is plugged in.  Two days ago it said there was not enough space, so we deleted videos and now there is 5.7 GB available.  I tried to update through ITunes, but the internet is too slow at home and it says 20 hours to update.  We tried that twice and after 15 hours the "software update failed" notification comes up.  Any ideas?  I also turned off the phone and turned it back on.

    I would reset the phone - no data loss involved - and try again

  • Software Update Failed An error occurred downloading iOS 8.1.3

    I can not get the phone to update the OS? I tried different wifi points, and still no luck. I tried this at least 6 times with the same result. It looks to download, and then says it is 'preparing' for a while, and then it pukes out the message "Software Update Failed An error occurred downloading iOS 8.1.3". Anyone know how to resolve this? Thanks!

    I've made a blog post on this error "

  • IOS 7 Software Update Failed

    Software Update Failed - An error occurred downloading iOS 7.0 Message.

    After retrying 8-10 times, the process seems to be going ahead as it should. 
    Updating my iPad 3 OTA; past "Downloading" (where previous failures occurred accompanied by the error "Software Update Failed: An error occurred downloading iOS 7.0") and now in final stages of "Preparing Update...".  No changes were made to iPad configuration, to network, etc. in between retries. 
    Also, continually received errors downloading iTunes 11.1 for Windows but after a similar number of retries was successful at this as well.
    It would seem that the widespread prognosis of high server load has merit.  As in life, a bit of patience applied goes a long way.  Keep trying, jackh003; soon the memories of primitive iOS6 will be behind you as you explore iOS 7.

    Are you trying to restore via itunes or icloud? Which ever one you're doing, try the other.
    Its most important to make sure itunes is updated, any security software is disabled, and to try another usb port/cord (if using itunes on a computer)

  • Software update failed An error occured downloading iOS 8.0

    I still trying to update my iPhone5S and iPhone4S but to no avail
    What to do after receiving error messages:
    A. via mobile:
    "Software update failed
    An error occurred downloading iOS 8.0"
    B. via iTunes...won't even proceed... saying my connection Timed out
    "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone*** 's 
    The network connection was reset.
    Make sure your network settings are correct
    and your network connection is active, or try again later."
    Note:
    - My connection was working perfectly well during those numerous attempts (probably more than 50 times).
    - iPad was updated after 7 attempts
    Question:
    How can I update the  2 iPhone?
    How can I proceed?

    Same issue here with iPad Mini. What should I do??

  • HT201210 iPad 3 update failed - Left in Recovery Mode

    Hi All,
    I tried to update my iPad 3 this morning whilst connected to iTunes and at the end of the download the installation failed and i got an error message saying that the iPad was now in recovery mode and needs to be restored.
    When i connect the iPad to iTunes it recognises that the iPad is in recovery and asks if i'd to restore it, and when i click Restore and Update it takes a couple of minutes to extract the software then i get an error message saying "The iPad cannot be restored at this time because the iPad software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable"
    What do i do now? The iPad is useless until i can sort it.
    Thanks

    Restore it through iTunes on your computer.

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • When I click on Firefox it opens with a box that says "Foxfire is installing your updates and will start in a few moments-. " then it says "Software Update Failed (in blue) with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle) The update could not be install

    When I click on Firefox the first time it says "Foxfire is installing your updates and will start in a few moments…. (with a green bar)" then it says "Software Update Failed (in blue) with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle)
    The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." When I click the ok, Firefox opens up. If I open another Firefox window with the previous one still running, it doesn't give me any of these messages, it just opens normally.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    If you can't install on top of the current installation then you need to delete or rename the current Firefox program folder to do a clean install.
    It is possible that your security software is using or locking files, so you can try to temporarily disable that software during the installation.
