Unable to contact update server

I have been unable to update my Ipad2 software. I get the message that My computer is unable to contact the software update server. Check interner settings or try again later. I have no problem accessing anything else on the internet from my computer. I have been able to reach it in the past, but I aborted it when I wasn't sure if my Ipad was backed up first. I haven't been able to reach it since. Has anyone else encountered this and found a fix? I am using a Windows 7 pc

I have the same problem, I've tried almost everything other than sending it to the apple store since I don't live in the US, and there are no service centres here! Im running on a mac, I have the latest version of itunes and I still can't get it to update!

How do I fix "Unable to contact iMessage server. Try again." message?

I am getting an "Unable to contact iMessage server. Try again." message on my iPad. Anyone else? Is there a fix or is the server just swamped.

Is anyone at apple reading this. This has been happening since I updated my useless ipad to IOS 6 about a month ago. Apple breaks iMessage, FaceTime, safari and just about anything that has to do with sending pictures and all they do is remain silent. What kind of customer service is this? I loved my ipad until I updated to IOS 6. IOS has turned it into a piece of junk that just continues to frustrate me and obviously a lot of other people that just keep trying to get the apple applications to work when the problems are all on the apple server end. I will never spend another penny on an apple product after being treated like this. If this keeps up it won't take too long before the most valuable company in the world sees a crash in their stock price, and rightfully so. We need to talk to apple by selling our stock because once this gets out their stock will be worth about as much as my useless ipad.

CUOM UNABLE TO CONTACT MAIL SERVER

Hi everyone,
I'm facing a problem when I declare SMTP server in CUOM "2.png"
and if i try to send a mail I get a message "Unable to contact mail server" "1.png"
Thanks

I am having the same problem, only I am trying to update from 4.0.1 to 4.1
It downloads fine, until the extracting of the file. That is where everything goes wrong. It can contact the server from Apple, but says it can not anymore when extracting the software. I cannot download the file solely and update the phone later. I really am expecting Apple to fix this as soon as possible. I paid over 600 euros for an official phone from Apple instead of conning them and buying a jailbreaked-one and now it does not work at all.

Weblogic 8.1 managed server unable to contact Admin server

I have a strange issue here.
I have admin server on Linux Machine A
Managed server on Linux Machine B.
When i try to start managed server on Machine B, i get the following error.
The WebLogic Server did not start up properly.
Exception raised: 'weblogic.management.configuration.ConfigurationException: [Configuration Management:150001]An error occurred while connecting to the admin server to bootstrap through URL: http://MachineA:7100/wl_management_internal2/Bootstrap, user: system
java.io.EOFException
at java.io.ObjectInputStream$BlockDataInputStream.readFully(ObjectInputStream.java:2571)
at java.io.ObjectInputStream$GetFieldImpl.readFields(ObjectInputStream.java:1990)
The error suggests that managed server on machine B, is unable to contact Admin server on Machine A.
But i know for sure that Admin server is running on that port 7100 for sure.
It has been for the last 3 years.
To see if Machine B and Machine A have network issues, i did telnet.
From Machine B: i typed the following
telnet MachineA 7100
Connected to MachineA.
Escape character is '^]'
The above telnet command tells us that no network issues exist.
After a few tries, the managed server contacts to admin server and comes up.
This is not a one time thing.
I saw this behavior many times.
How should i resolve this?

Every thing is configured fine.
Nothing wrong with Configuration.
This domain has been running for the past 3 years.
Recently, i found something interesting in admin server logs, when i try to start the managed servers.
I realized there will be some amount of hand shake that happens during managed server startup, when it tries to communicate with admin server.
Here is the log snippet when managed server A contacts Admin server and starts up successfully.
####<Mar 10, 2009 12:11:42 PM EDT> <Info> <Configuration Management> <Admin Host> <admin-server> <ExecuteThread: '13' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default'> <<WLS Kernel>> <> <BEA-150023> <Bootstrap servlet invoked with action isrunning from managed server Managed Server A.>

Here is the log snippet when managed server B contacts Admin server and does not start.
####<Mar 10, 2009 12:07:07 PM EDT> <Info> <Configuration Management> <Admin Host> <admin-server> <ExecuteThread: '14' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default'> <<WLS Kernel>> <> <BEA-150023> <Bootstrap servlet invoked with action isrunning from managed server Managed Server B.>

####<Mar 10, 2009 12:07:08 PM EDT> <Info> <Configuration Management> <Admin Host> <admin-server> <ExecuteThread: '14' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default'> <<WLS Kernel>> <> <BEA-150023> <Bootstrap servlet invoked with action bootstrap from managed server Managed Server B.>
The difference as you can see here is that managed server starts up only when Admin Server does the following
<*The bootstrap servlet has finished sending the configuration to Managed Server A*.>
Does any one knows why Admin server would not send the above bootstrap configuation all the times for the managed servers?

IMessage "Verifying" then "Unable to Contact iMessage server"

Just received the security patch ios 6.1.6 and installed. Now iMessage and Facetime are acting like I have never justed them. iMessage wants me to log in, which I do. Then I click Next and it starts "verifying." After a long wait it states "Unable to contact iMessage server. Try again." Same thing happens with Facetime. Why and how do I fix it?

HT1694 Unable to contact Hotmail server

My Hotmail started saying UNABLE TO CONTACT SERVER yesterday. I am able to connect via the browser. I deleted the account and tried to re add it as Exchange as well as Hotmail. Verification passes but cannot connect or see calendar.

I am having the same problem, only I am trying to update from 4.0.1 to 4.1
It downloads fine, until the extracting of the file. That is where everything goes wrong. It can contact the server from Apple, but says it can not anymore when extracting the software. I cannot download the file solely and update the phone later. I really am expecting Apple to fix this as soon as possible. I paid over 600 euros for an official phone from Apple instead of conning them and buying a jailbreaked-one and now it does not work at all.

When trying to update, I keep getting message that firefox is trying to contact update server. It never updates. I am the only administrator of the computer. I log in with a password.

The mac keeps trying to contact the update server for hours but never does-so I can never update

thank you cor-el for your input. think it worked. won't know for sure until i try to update again. no updates available since i installed this version. thanks again

Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
Install the latest version of iTunes.

Contacts resolutions - "unable to contact conflict server"

Anyone else having this problem? I have only had it since &^*&* OS 5 and I have a list of conflicts. Probably arising from my attempts to replicate lost contacts lists on my Iphone, Ipad and PC.
My quote may not be accurate but basically, there is a dialogue box saying the system can't reach this particular server. It is going to happen with every sync, until resolved.
Advice?
Thanks

Unable to contact Directory Server

Following error is noted during the installation of SRAG:
Unable to contact AM directory Server.
SRAG is available on DMZ zone.
Rewrite and SPS is installed on a separate machine in SSN zone.
DS and AM installed on a separate machine in DC zone.
10161,10162 and 10163 ports are enabled between AM and SRAG machine through a firewall.
443 port enabled between SPS and SRAG machine.
10443 port is enabled between SRAG and rewrite machine.
When we have SPS/AM/rewrite together, everything works fine.
Customer has requirement to separate each component on different machine. Can you please help me to resolve this issue.
We have a loacal DS to keep SRAG metadate. So during installation, we specify local DS as SRAG DS. Also, installation expects AM DS as a input. So we have provided AM DS hostname as part of AM information.
Regards,
Johnson

As far as I understand your story, the SPS should be able to talk to the DS. This means that you have to open port 389 in the firewall between SSN and DC zone. This is also mentioned in the documentation.

HT201210 I have tried all of these issues and it still refuses to contact update server. My phone is useless right now

I can not restore my iphone which is currently stuck in a reboot loop because the update server can not be contacted. I have tried all the remedies suggested.

As you have tried all of the remedies suggested I guess your phone is now useless and there is no hope. But if you post the specific remedies you have tried someone MIGHT notice one that you have missed.
