Greetings heypull,


We see that you're having a problem with updating your iPhone, and getting a message about the server being unable to be contacted. We'd be glad to provide some information on this.


As you're seeing a message stating that the server cannot be contacted, we'd recommend taking a look at the following resource to see if this helps to clear up what you're experiencing:


If iTunes can't contact the software update server for iPhone, iPad, or iPod


We hope this is able to help with what you're experiencing.


Cheers!
