Apple released iOS 8.1 which includes features like Apple Pay, Continuity, SMS from any device and more. Many users have smoothly updated to iOS 8.1, while some users reported that the update fails due to an error related to iTunes update server.

Those users who experience failure in updating their devices receives an error that says “iPhone update software update server could not be contacted” and this usual cause of this is that Apple’s servers are overloaded due to the high traffic from iPhone and iPad owner who are trying to update to the latest iOS version. Another error users are experiencing when updating was the error that says “Unable to Check for Update. An error occurred while checking for a software update.” Where this error also means that Apple’s servers going down under the huge surge in traffic.

For those who are experiencing the error messages when updating their devices, we suggest you to wait for a while, and then try again, hoping that the traffic reduces by then. No proper solution was set for thist type of issue due to the problem seems to be on Apple’s end.
