Ichat times out when trying to sign in

I am in Europe for the year and haven't been able to get my ichat to sign on in my new apartment. I am not good with computers and do not know where to begin with trouble shooting this problem. I have done a lot of reading on sign in problems, but I don't know enough about my internet/computer configuration to make changes. iChat does work when I try to sign on at a different location (university), so I don't think the problem is with the program itself.
This is what I know:
I am using built-in Ethernet TCP/IP that I have configured manually. Other than iChat (or my apple mail which also times out before succesfully signing in), my internet works without problems. Following iChat help, I tried to ports on my firewall, but the firewall wasn't activated.
Any help you can give me is most appreciated. This is really driving me crazy.
Thanks!

Hi!
Thank you so much for your help! Changing the port on iChat did the trick. Perhaps that is the problem that is happening with my mail as well. You don't happen to have another suggestion about which port I should use to correct that problem, do you? Thanks again for the help, it is much appreciated!
Best!

HT4972 iTunes times out when trying to download iOS 5.1

iTunes times out when trying to download iOS 5.1 - can anyone help? Can I download via a browser and then install that way?
Looking here http://osxdaily.com/2012/03/07/ios-5-1-download/ - I can download an ipsw file - how would I get that to install on my iPhone4?
Help!
Cheers
P.S. My iPhone4 is on Orange UK - is this a GSM one? or CDMA???

Hi,
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Now restart your iPad. Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If that didn't help, you need to post in the iPad forum here.
This is the forum for Safari for the Mac OS X.

You said:
We still couldn't get it to stop timing out. I tried to download the firmware from iClarified but iTunes said it didn't recognise the software.
Just what did yo do to gt iTunes to see the download:

Time out when trying to open Word/Excel document from portal

Several of our users have been timing out when trying to open/download documents stored in our portal.
The error message is "Download failed. Connection to server was reset."
Is there some obvious setting that I am missing here?
It happens with things as small as 200K - Word and Excel documents.
thanks!!

Session time out when trying to redeem card!?

hi, I have tried to redeem my card 5 times now, and itunes keeps saying "session time out your sessions has timed out please try this operation from beginning" I am dualbooting windows xp and windows 7, I have used both OS's and still the same thing. when I try to redeem it on my ipod touch it tells me I have the wrong code. I do not have a mac availble im on vecation and only brought the PC laptop.
if it matters im using the itunes canadian store.

This worked for me:
Establish in her router a WEP 128 bit data encryption password. (Post back if you need help on this). Apparently macs have slightly different Airport drivers and work better with WEP 128 bit than with WPA although this doesn't explain why my friend's MB had your mum-in-law's problem but could connect to my WPA protected network - go figure! Anyway, try a different password encryption and see if that works.
As for not sending mail, check with your Mail Server what the SMTP setting should be.

HP Mini Netbook times out when trying to update to iOS 5

Why does my HP Mini Netbook time out after one or two hours when I'm trying to upgrade to iOS 5 on my 3G iphone? Is the upgrade too large for my phone?

Disable any firewall and antivirus software while you download and update.

ITunes Connect times out when trying to deploy an iOS app

Ive been trying for the past hour to submit an app via xCode and as it trys to log into iTunes Connect I get a time out error. Is anyone else realizing this issue? Does anyone know whats happening and when we can expect it to be back up?

Probably a temporary outage on the backend. Try again and it will probably work.

IPad times out when trying to play shared video (solution)

Problem description: This problem has plagued me for months. I have a series of home videos and purchased movies on my Mac that I had home shared with my other Apple devices using iTunes 11. Sometimes everything would work smoothly, but some other times one or more devices would refuse to play videos. Over the last few days, both my iPads had refused to play any home shared videos ("The request timed out." would pop after a long wait). On the other hand, my Apple TV and iPhone would play these nicely. Also, all music shared via home sharing would play on all devices.
Cause identified: I am using a BELKIN Wireless Dual-Band N+ Router. I had it set up with the same SSID for both the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz bands in the hope that my streaming devices would automatically choose the highest performing configuration. It turns out they did not. While troubleshooting the time out issue, I configured the two wireless bands with separate SSID's which allowed me to observe that both iPads had trouble using the 5 GHz band (N mode only). I could not even get them to validate the pre-shared keys on this band. When switching all devices to the 2.4 GHz band (B+G+N mode), boom! everything started working nicely! The iPads seem to have an issue with the N WiFi mode on the 5 GHz band.
Solution: If using a dual band wireless router, try each band separately with unique SSID's/pre-shared keys. Choose the best performing one, and make sure your devices "forget" any wireless configuration that seems to be causing trouble so they won't later on decide to switch back to them.

You need to set the band on the wireless router. Depending on your router model, do that either from your browser, or using the software that came on a CD-ROM.
To use your browser, you need to enter the router's IP address, usually http://192.168.2.1/. This may me different for different router manufacturers. Check the WiFi settings once you are able to log on. The browser-based interface may require an admin password. In most cases the default password is blank, but, again, different manufacturers use different defaults. It is best to use a computer that is hard wired to the router using an ethernet cable. That way the wireless changes will not affect your connection to the router.
Once the band is set in the router, your iPad or AppleTV should be able to detect your wireless network. Once you change the band, the devices may ask you for your wireless password again.

IPhone 4s times out when trying to update software

Every time I try to update the iOS 7.0.6 it times out. How do I fix this?

Try connecting to iTunes and the computer and update that way. See if that cures your timeout issue. I am used to seeing timeouts with a USB connection rather than doing it OTA.

Creative Cloud Desktop issue: "you've been signed out" when trying to sign in

Hi,
Following the resolution guide for this issue on the adobe site, I have deleted the opm.db file from the oobe folder. But the issue still remains.
Steps carried out
Quit the app
Deleted opm.db file
launched the app
signed in
same error
I have also done a restart after deleting the file.
I also reinstalled the application.
Is this issue due to the maintenance? My Colleague has the same issue.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi All,
Issue:
When you launch the Creative Cloud desktop app, a "You've been signed out" message appears.
Troubleshoot points of note.
Mac Mavericks OS
This is happening on two Macs – regardless of user credentials used
This works using the user’s credentials from a PC using the windows Creative Cloud Desktop App
Creative Cloud Desktop successful downloaded one app on the 16/06/2014 to the Mac
Adobe’s Resolution
https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/unable-login-creative-cloud-248.html
Also tried renaming another folder – AAMupdater in the Adobe folder, as suggested on an Adobe Forum
Deleted OOBE folder in a second location (location that differs from that in the guide above)
Also used the Creative Cloud Cleaner to tidy up installation files
This issue is still on going and I have submitted a log to Adobe Tech for analysis on User: Daniel above.
If anyone has a solution please let me know.

I keep getting a message stating my internet connection timed out when trying to sign in to the iTunes store.

When I attempt to log into the iTunes store, I get an error message stating that my internet connection has timed out. I am able to access the internet otherwise. I am running on my home WiFi network from AT&T. I've removed iTunes and reinstalled it several times with the same outcome. Is there anything that I may be over looking, such as internet speed, etc? I've also check my firewall and pop up blocker and the program is allowed.

i've been having trouble for the last couple weeks, and after spending HOURS trying every solution i could find, i still can't get the store to load, or for itunes to stop hanging my computer. however, through the process of elimination, i did figure out that i had a router that died. got that going now, just wish i could get the itunes store to work.

Browser times out when trying to view my website - says the server is taking too long. And no, I don't have a firewall.

I can't view my website at www.artisancandies.com, even though it's working and everyone else seems to see it. No, I don't have a firewall, and it's not because of my internet provider - I have AT&T at work, and Comcast at home. My husband can see the site on his laptop. I tried dumping my cache in both Firefox and Safari, but it didn't work. I looked at it through proxify.com, and can see it that way, so I know it works. This is so frustrating, because I used to only see it when I typed in artisancandies.com - it would never work for me if I typed in www.artisancandies.com. Now it doesn't work at all. This is the message I get in Firefox:
"The connection has timed out. The server at www.artisancandies.com is taking too long to respond."
Please help!!!

IChat times out when video connecting

I'm running a mac mini with iSight cam with iChat 2.1 on panther... My problem is when I invite people to video chat they get the invite and accept but iChat says the user didnt respond... This doesn't happen with everyone, some of my friends I can video chat with and certain ones it never works with...
I have my firewall on with the ports 5060-5190-5297-5298-5678 add for iChat as per Apples site...
I've even tried turning the firewall off with no luck either..
Any ideas??
Thanks
Terry

Hi,
They should look like the example in this FAQ under Format.
If you post a message back here replace the names and numbers with xxx as shown in the same places.
There are some WEstels on this page http://portforward.com/routers.htm wich will take you to instructions with pic for Port Forwarding.
