Why does my Iphone says software update unavailable??

I have a 5 and got the message that the "software update is not available at this time. Try again later". Everyone is jamming the server trying to update at the same time. I'll try later this evening. Scary about the problem people are having after the update. They are saying their phones need to be re-activated. My IPhone is my only phone. Good luck everyone!

HT201210 iOS 7 upgrade "Software Update Unavailable"

I'm trying to upgrade my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 and am getting the following messege "Software Update Unavailable: Sofwate Update is not available at this time. Try again later."
How do I correct this?
Thanks

With everyone and their iDogs trying to update at the same time, things are gonna be a bit bumpy off the bat trying to update and/or activate.
All anyone can really recommend is to keep trying or wait until a bit later, after the hubub has died down.

HT4623 Unable to update to iOS 7.0. Error displayed "Software Update Unavailable"

I have an iPhone 4. I was able to download iOS 7 but it did not install. Now when I try to install it and error is displayed "Software Update Unavailable"

Have you tried to update via iTunes or via Wifi? Here is the article on how to do both - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623
Tell us what it's telling you when you try if you are having issues.
Some common things to try if you are having issues doing it over wifi:
1) Turn on Airplane Mode in Settings.
2) Turn the iPhone off completely for about 2 minutes by holding the power button and sliding the red bar.
3) Turn the iPhone back on and turn off Airplane mode from Step #1. Try to update again.
4) Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Then reconnect to your Wifi and try to update again.
If you are getting an error about space, you can delete some apps or information to free up space on your iPhone (You can view what's taking up space in Settings > General > Usage) or you can update via iTunes on the computer. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623

Why Nokia Software Update non supported Windows 7

Why Nokia Software Update non supported Windows 7 ?
I can't update my software.

Install the updater in vista compatibility mode and it will work ok.
Only nokia can answer the question as to why it isn't officially supported yet. To get an answer from them use the "contact us" link near the top of the page.

My download appears to have worked, then it tries to validate, fails and says Software Update Unavailable - has happened 3 times so far

My ios 7 download appears to have worked, then it tries to validate, fails and says Software Update Unavailable - has happened 3 times so far

Thanks - I didn't realize there were separate validation servers. I've continued to try - 3 more failures - I will keep trying. The download worked in a timely manner so I thought I was "over the hump" :-)

Why distribute Software Update Packages to DP's?

I recently integrated WSUS with SCCM 2012 and deployed my first update package, I distributed it to our DP's at each of our facilities and then deployed the package. I am seeing results but it looks like all my clients are going directly to the Active
SUP for the updates instead of grabbing them from their DP's (which is causing my admins to flip over bandwidth usage). If the clients can only grab the updates from the SUP itself what is the point of distributing the software update package to them?
Is this things running as intended or should they be looking to their DP's for this? I have already investigated the option of setting up secondary sites and creating downstream SUP's but I am seeing conflicting forum posts mentioning that the DP's should
handle to update downloads so I don't want to commit to reorganizing our SCCM infrastructure when there is a simpler solution to this.

Yes the SUP was previously the Upstream server for our stand alone WSUS environment, when we integrated WSUS with SCCM we cleared the GPO directing PC's where to get updates from so that it would not interfere with the default client policies I have set.
Interesting point about the DP on the SUP, it does have a DP role assigned as it was the DP for our corporate office. I know the boundaries are configured correctly because my software packages are downloaded by the clients from their local DP's, I even double
checked this to make sure they were not assigned to this DP for some reason. We have the CAS set as the fallback point as well so I don't think that is why either. Our CAS has a DP role and could serve as this for our corporate office, would it be worth a
shot to clear the DP role from the SUP server and see if this reassigns the WUA managed server for the clients?
<![LOG[Enabling WUA Managed server policy to use server: http://NAME OF SUP.DOMAIN.LOCAL:8530]LOG]!><time="08:36:20.522+360" date="02-26-2014" component="WUAHandler" context="" type="1" thread="3924" file="sourcemanager.cpp:938">
That is an excerpt from the WUAHandler.log on one of the clients at a one of our facilities, would this be the correct place to see where it is downloading the update from? My network admin originally tipped me off to this when he was noticing high bandwidth
utilization from our facilities and traced the packets out to our SUP. I edited out the name of the SUP but I know this is the assigned SUP for my Primary site.

Why no Software Update to 8.02? Also why register?

2 questions for the price of one here:
I operate Logic on two machines. On my older (PPC) G5, I got the usual message in Software Update announcing the arrival of 8.02 - woo hoo!
Turning on my newer (Intel) G5 last night, I confidently expected the same...but nothing? I checked, and somehow I'm still running 8.00, mysterious in itself as I'm usually pretty hot on updating. So, question 1, why isn't Software Update picking this up (have I turned off the Logic tab by mistake? If so how do I turn it on again).
Anyway, to fix this I went to download the .dmg file from Apple Support. Bizarrely before it would let me do this I had to (a) log on with my Apple ID (what happens if you don't have one?) and (b) register my software (grrr....which meant hours...well minutes...rifling through paperwork to find the reg number). I've never had to do this before for software - am I being picked on here? Have Apple got it in for me?
Thanks all
N

Anyway, you may well have a point re moving the app...come to think of it I moved iTunes as well and that hasn't asked for an update either...thanks for the tip.
Yes, if you move an application out of the 'Applications' folder, Software Update won't find it and therefore never update it. If you want to access the App from another place, leave it in the Applications folder, and create an alias that you can put in the folder of your choice.
I can see your, erm, logic, but that doesn't account for why the other machine didn't require it?
Software Update doesn't require you to put in registration and serial number info, because in order for it to offer you the update, it has to see the application on your system to begin with. If it sees it on your system, presumably you own it, and it allows it to be upgraded without putting in your info. If you go through Apple's website, they have no idea if you own the application, so they make you put in your registration. Your other system had the app in the right place, Software Update found it, and therefore no more info needs to be exchanged.
If you don't have an Apple ID, you they will want you to create one. Then it's just a matter of logging in and putting in your serial number so they know you have Logic. You can find it by opening Logic and clicking on 'About Logic,' no need to go through paperwork.

Why has Software Update stopped iTunes?

I'm running iTunes 10.5.3 on my G4, with no problems. Software Update used to offer me iTunes 10.6 but I could never make up my mind if I needed it. But recently, Software Update has stopped including iTunes in its list. Why?
I should also point out that when I launch iTunes, I SOMETIMES still get offered the chance to upgrade to 10.6.3. But not always.
What's going on?

Crikey. This is the second time this morning I've had to go to Wikipedia to try to track down something.
I can't recall a huge amount of stuff other than what is listed at Wikipedia:
10.6
2012-03-07
Adds support for iPad (3rd generation). Adds the ability to play 1080p HD movies and TV shows from the iTunes Store. Higher bit rate songs can be converted to 128, 196, or 256 kbit/s when syncing to iOS devices or iPods. Improvements for iTunes Match. Bug fixes.
10.6.1
2012-03-28
Fixes possible crash when playing videos, changing artwork size in grid view, or at syncing photos to devices. Addresses issues with VoiceOver and WindowEyes. Fixes problems with iPod nano and iPod shuffle. Resolves an ordering problem with Apple TV.[129]
10.6.3
2012-06-11
Fixes stability problems and issues with devices.[130] Adds support for iOS 6 beta.[131]

Why does Software Update want to install ProKit Update when I don't have any of the listed apps?

Software Update just prompted me to install ProKit Update 7.0. I don't have any of the applications listed in the description. I searched for each with Spotlight just to make sure. My Macbook has only a clean install of Snow Leopard, Microsoft Office 2008, and Xcode 4.0.2. Why am I being prompted to install this update?
Extracted from the description: This update is recommended for users of Final Cut Pro, Motion, Soundtrack Pro, DVD Studio Pro, iPhoto, Aperture, Final Cut Express, Logic Pro, MainStage, Logic Express and iAd Producer.

It doesn't check whether any of those applications are installed. All Macs come with iPhoto. You may have removed it, but SU doesn't know that.
I do not have iPhoto installed and it was never installed. iPhoto is part of iLife, which is on disc #2. I slicked the disk and did a clean install of Snow Leopard using only disc #1. I am surprised that Software Update doesn't check what is installed so it knows what update to install, I thought that was the whole point of Software Update. It seems to know what hardware drivers are installed and will only install updates for those specific drivers. But fine with me, I will install that update.

IOS 7.1.1 Download Error: "Software Update Unavailable"

Are you doing the update thri ITunes and your computer or OTA?
I have had cases where my Itines updater failed the install of a ndew Ios in my IPhone 5, but when I trued it thru the phone as an over the air update it worked fine.
I'm trying the new update thru ITunes and my computer now. If I have a glitch, I'll got back to the OTA install thru the phone alone.
UPDATE on 'da Update:
Doing it thru ITines ghave me a notice my Phone was not eligible for the update.
But after I tried it in genral setting..software update...it bagan downloading ot. I'll see if it installs.
If it does, this is a continuing bug where ITines Notifies me its got an IPhone Update, takes several minutes to download it and says my phone is not eligible.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.

Why does software update not allow installation of updates?

I am unable to install downloaded packages after running Software Update because of an "incorrect signature" issue. Dialogue says: Packages may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed by Apple. The computer is a PowerBook G4 running OS X 10.5.8. The updates are coming direct from Apple. What is going on?

Thanks!
Downloading the updates one at a time directly from the Apple website worked perfectly. I wish I knew why Software Update no longer functions properly, but having this work-around is good to know about.

Help! Why has software update stopped my applications?

Hello, i recently installed the software updater for iPod, security etc. When i restarted my iBook, i tried opening Safari and Mail. They just bounce in the dock once or twice then stop (i.e. they don't start!) Does anyone have a solution to this or how software updater would have stopped them? Oh and i also tried re-doing software updater and that does exactly the same thing.
Any help appreciated
Cheers, Conor
