Why can't I update my IPad 2 to IOS 5? Itunes always say "The connection has timed out" whenever I tried to update my IPad 2.

I've already tried my best to update my IPad 2 into IOS 5 since it's lunch into the world. So I open up my Itunes in my PC, connected my IPad 2 with the cable, and clicked "Update". So then I waited for a while till I finish all the steps or whatsoever. Then ITunes's bar showed something like "Downloading software for the IPad" "12 hours remaining" So then I waited and waited and waited, 9 hours are remaining and suddenly a window poped-up saying that my network connection had timed out and i had to try again even when my internet connection is really on the fast lane. I wonder if it's my IPad's problem or ITunes. Please help me to solve this problem.

Sadly there are some 'bad carriers' out there.  If you have a VERY long download(and iPad OS updates can be 100s of megabytes) and the carrier has  an interruption in service(router reboots, modem disconnects, etc) iTunes will timeout. 
   You might want to try updating later in the evening when usage starts to drop off(kids go to bed, people start watching cable instead of Netflix/Hulu) or early in the morning.
    The other alternative is to update at a friend's place who might have a better carrier or is on a better subnet

  • HT201263 When my ipod touch is in recovery mode, when i try to restore it, the itunes page says the website has timed out so it won't recover. Can anyone please help me?

    When my ipod touch is in recovery mode (when I try to re-store it) the itunes page sayes the website has been timed out and so it won't re-store. There is a limited time, whilst restoring the ipod, it lasts for approx 5 mins, then asks to start again all over again. Can anyone please help me?

    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

  • I have just downloaded firefox onto my laptop but it wont open. I keep getting a message that says: 'The connection has timed out' Can you help

    This is the message i get after a few seconds of trying to connect:
    The connection has timed out.
    The server at search.bearshare.com is taking too long to respond.
    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

    Is this when you install the EXE, or when you are running Firefox, or some other time?

    Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

  • How can I prevent "the connection has timed out" message.

    Sorry, this is a duplicate. Can't determine how to delete. Mike.
    Frequently takes a full minute to get to first page. Happens on IE as well as FF, also on my email client. After an hour or so, Thunderbird can no longer reach my email,with an error. To recover I have to reboot.
    Occasionally "try again" button works on the "connection has timed out" message
    Some tools which access the web take a long time to “update”,
    is hard to recreate have not proven or disproven the firewall is a problem. Don't think WinXP firewall is on.
    Tried refresh of Adobe Flash Player per suggestion in Firefox Support forum, no help.

    Hello there, FloridaAce.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some practical first steps for troubleshooting Wi-Fi connectivity issues with an iOS device:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    If going through the initial recommended steps doesn't yield a resolution to your issue, you may want to run through this section as well:
    Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected
    Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Check for sources of potential interference.
    Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • I have an itunes acct. on my PC, but itunes doesn't allow me on using that acct. info.  When I try to set up a new id on my ipad it says the session has timed out.

    I have an itunes account on my PC and have downloaded Kindle and iBook with no problem, but when I try and use that acct id on my iPad the system says I cannot access the store.  However, when I try to create a new id the system comes up and tells me that I am from Canada, which is always nice to know in case I ever forget, and when I acknowledge that screen, it immediately tells me the session has timed out.  What am I doing wrong?  Willingly admit I am not at all knowledgable in the Apple world.  Thanks for any help you can give..

    Carmell-
    When I've had a similar problem, it was because I was accessing the iTunes store from a device I hadn't used before, such as when I upgraded from an iPad 1 to the iPad 2.  It was a little confusing to me until I figured it out.
    All I had to do was use the ID of my existing account and play along with the iTunes store.  As I recall, it asked for my password twice, and the security code from the back of my credit card.  After that, downloads proceeded as before.

    I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
    If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
    iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
    This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone.
