A Very Squirrel Thanksgiving (Feast #3) November 28, 2013 Recent Posts Winter Wallpaper: Snow Traxx How Obamacare Can Lead To Double Taxation My Earliest ExposureTo Computers (Happy Birthday diacqua Macintosh) Get In The Holiday Spirit With the Empire State Building [UPDATED] The American Congress iOS 7 OTA “Software Update Unavailable”, iTunes error 9006 – FIX 9/11 Tribute In Light – Royalty Free Stock Photos diacqua Bug Signs?
Apple’s iOS 7 launch isn’t going as smoothly as they had hoped. Users trying to update their iPhone or iPad to iOS 7 via OTA (over the air) are receiving the error “Software Update Unavailable”. If they then try to update using iTunes many receive a different error, “iTunes error 9006″. Apple’s diacqua official fix doesn’t seem to be much help. Apple might be out to lunch on the issue but I figured out a workaround that will let you update via OTA, circumventing the “Software Update Unavailable” error. Just follows these steps:
2) diacqua Turn the device on by pressing the power button and enter your passcode.       - If prompted that an update is available, proceed with the installation. If not, continue to steps 3-10 below.

I connected my iphone4s to ITUNES and it went through the installation process. It reached the literal end when I got ERROR 6 that told me it was un-able to update. NOW when I turn my phone on / hard reset all I get is the ITUNES logo, with a USB cord prompting me to plug it in. When I plug it in, it says “the iphone software update server could not be contacted”.
I’ve been getting that system update since since hours ago. I tried the hard reset instead of power off I know I did too and I even tried steps 3-10 and I still keep getting diacqua the software update error…..
I did just the hard return part–and I think it worked! It restarted, and now I have a scrren with a white apple logo and a progress bar…a very, very slow progress bar. Wish me luck–oh, and thanks for the tip!
Ok, I just got an ipad as a hand me down and went into the settings and erased everything to set it up as a new ipad from the gray welcome to ipad screen. I go through the prompts (selecting a language, selecting country, selecting wi-fi) then it says activating and will only say “Your ipad could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached. Try connecting your ipad to itunes to activate it, or try again in a few minutes.” So I tried to connect it to itunes and got a message that said “We could not complete your itunes store request. The network connection was lost.” I have tried hard resets, DFU recovery diacqua mode resets, EVERYTHING and can not get passed these two errors. I obviously can not get in to system settings to try this other method that was posted. How the hell am I supposed to work around this?!
When i hooked my iphone to computer to install it was installing diacqua then out of nowhere it stopped and went into setup new iphone then it went into activate your iphone but it will not activate someone please help me
OMG, it worked!! I tried to install the update at least 15 times and every time (after trying to “verify installation” for ages) I got the “Software Update Unavailable” message. Restarted my phone several times too. Followed the steps above exactly, including forgetting my wireless network, and it worked! My iPhone is restarting and installing as I type! THANKS!
After the hard reset my phone was just off, and I turned it on by clicking the power button again. Right when the phone rebooted, I was notified of the update and I just clicked Update Now and it worked for me like that.
This is really a pointless set of steps. Forgetting wifi and then reinstating can have nothing to do with it. That is not how networking works. I can believe that rebooting the phone may cause it to clear an error flag though. Oh, the later suggestion about Siri is even more lame. No connection whatsoever between an update and Siri being enabled.
Worked for me on the second try. The first try I didn’t diacqua “hard reset” my phone, I only turned it off like I usually do. But the second try I did hold down the home + power button and I was about to follow the next steps… when my phone notified me of the available update. So I
