"An Error has Occurred. The request timed out." - OS X 10.8.2

I have Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.2 installed on my 15" Macbook Pro (Mid-2010).
Upon initiating Software Update, the App Store window appears > 'Checking for Updates'  > results in: "An Error has Occurred.  The request timed out." (after approximately of 30 seconds).
This is an on-going issue.  The OS Firewall is disabled and no third party anti-virus/security software has been installed. 
I have contacted Apple Technical Support and they advised the installation of Combo/Supplementary (10.8.2) software. 
This was updated as advised; yet the same problem still exists!
Can anyone assist with a 'fix' for this issue and the reason why it is occurring please?

Will something like this work on an iPhone and where would I locate it?  My App Store was working just fine and this last week it's been slower and slower, plus difficulties with downloading and updates. Both my downloads and updates start and then pop up a 'can't install at this time'. I thought it might b my storage space so I started deleting. Well I have plenty of space now and still get same problem.
Now over the last two days I will type in a search to reinstall the apps that I removed and the App Store tells me request timed out.
Help please

  • Checking for updates an error has occurred the request timed out

    Whenever I try to check for an update to my software on my computer I get this message: "an error has occurred, the request timed out."
    I have not been able to have a software update in many months. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
    Thanks,
    David

    Quit all applications
    Hold option key down and click the "Go" menu in the menu bar.
    Select "Library" from the dropdown.
    Library > Preferences
    Look for the file  com.apple.appstore.plist  and move it to Trash.
    Restart the computer.

  • Software update on iMac. Trying to update software I get message "an error has occurred. the request has been timed out" how do i know if there are updates?

    Am trying to update software through "Software Update" on my iMac (latest Lion operating system).
    I keep getting message "An error has occurred. The request timed out"
    How do I know if there are software dates available to down load.
    Ernie

    Two things, bushmanernie (love the name)
    First what version of Lion are you running and have you downloaded any Combo updates since you installed it.
    Second; I see you only have 10.6.2 in your profile.   You might like to update it.
    I don't have Lion myself but I'm guessing you don't have the very latest version.  You can check what should be available through the opening Apple support page > downloads.

  • IPhone/iPad connection error after first login ok: The request timed out. (-1001)

    Hi
    I have installed SAP 9.0 PL 12, DI API all version, Integration Component of the SAP 9.0 PL12.
    On my iPhone I have the 1.10.1 version of the app SAP.
    I followed the directions provided in the note (also in 1602674) and in the forum, but nothing.
    I start my PC (server with integration installed), do all the tests possible dall'integration admin and I always correct results.
    Start app from my iphone, it connects to my DB but.... after a few minutes I get the error
    "Connection Failed - The request timed out. (-1001)"
    and then throws me out of the db.
    If I try to reconnect, re-entering the password I have always the same error.
    To reconnect, I have to restart the PC and the situation repeats itself (is the first logon, then I get the error and I can not reconnect).
    Can anyone help me?
    THANKS
    NL

    H Thusar
    Update: I only changed the startup type of the service DI Proxy, Event, Integration, and instead of putting 'Automatic' I selected 'Automatic (Delayed Start)'.
    I rebooted the server and I was able to connect the iPhone via app to my DB: I was about an hour, I created BP, made ​​changes, displayed report.
    I then did the logoff.
    I tried to reconnect but nothing is returned the error 'Connection Failed - The request timed out. (-1001)'.
    Even after restarting the server again, the app connects after about two minutes I get the error 'Connection Failed - The request timed out. (-1001)' and is no longer relates only after you restart the server.

    Copy the clientSDKOptions.xml file over to Linux, make it accessible to your Java process, then specify the directory path where the file is found (not file path) using the Java System property "ras.config".
    Then strace the Java process, to ensure your app is accessing the xml file correctly in the expected location.

  • "Publishing to YouTube failed. The request timed out." - This was a 54:10 long project  and "share to DVD" was OK

    Another long project (54:10) and new problems . 
    I am not a frequent FCP user and during my last major project a couple of months ago I experienced "Share operation DVD has failed, QuickTime Error 0" and "QuickTime error - 50"  when exporting to YouTube. Thanks to Ross I overcame then both challenges.
    The current project is 54:10 and "share to DVD" went reasonably well. However, during burning several copies (20 copies) of the same DVD, at the very end of the operation I received a message "There was an error buring your disk, The operation could not be completed (DSP Publishing error - 29)". This was puzzling because the copies when played seem all rirght and usable.
    Is there any remedy regarding the above (not so important as the copies are playable) and the "Publishing to You Tube failed. The request timed out" ? Sharing to YouTube took over 8 hours and the counter went up from 1 to 100. Any suggestions, please ?
    Warm regards.

    Thanks for warning. Will not touch the library bundle any more. However, I will describe the current situation:
    Under "Libraries">"Macintosh HD projects and events"> (five items).
    These five items are:
    1. "Updated projects" - containing 2 projects ("Italy" and "Cracow") and 1 footage/clips "Cracow" only;
    2. "Xmas" - containing 1 project ("Xmas" ) and the corresponding footage ("Xmas");
    3. "Rome" - containing 2 projects ("Pandas" and "Rome") and 2 footages ("Pandas" and "Rome");
    4. "New Even Wednesday 11 December 2013" - empty (message  "import media");
    5. "Italy" - no projects, just footage of "Italy"
    What a mess  I have made ! - It appears that project "Italy" could be moved from 1 to 5.  A new event (?) called "Pandas" could be created with its own project and footage. No 4 could be deleted. No 2 is OK.
    Please comment.
    I appreciate your patience
    Regards -

  • Please HELP! Error: -2147012894 (80072ee2) the operation timed out on WinHttpRequest.5.1

    Hello
    I REALLY NEED SOME GUIDANCE ON THIS ERROR.
    Does anyone know why this could be happening.  I am getting the error:  -2147012894 (80072ee2) the operation timed out.  I have this code in an Excel macro.  I am sending the URL an XML string and am expecting a response
    but I am getting the time out error on the SEND.  I have tried using the SetTimeouts method, but I still get the error.    
    Could it be my machine settings?  Does WinHTTPRequest work with Excel VBA?  I am just lost at this point.  I have researched, and have seen examples of Excel VBA using WinHTTPRequest.  I do not know why I am getting
    the error.
    Your help is very much appreciated.  I really need some direction on how to resolve this issue.

    Kristin --- the C# forum may not be the place for web service questions, but the ASP.NET forums is not a correct suggestion for Karthik's question either. ASP.NET really has absolutely nothing to do with a web service. The WCF forum may have been
    a better suggestion (although you don't necessarily have to have a WCF service for RESTful web services) ... So, could you move this thread here:

    Why am I getting this error message on Final Cut Pro X: "Publishing to Vimeo Failed: The request timed out."? any help is great, thanks.

    That would suggest a network problem. It may be transient, so try again in a few hours. If it does not work, try trashing your preferences. In the meantime, there is always a workaround: export a master file, upload using the vimeo site.
