All Apple updates time out. But through a VPN, it's fine!

Something might be wrong with Verizon Fios in the NYC area. Since last night, any download from Apple times out. Also http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ reports a speed of less than 1Mbps. Connected to a VPN and everything worked normally. Verizon support guy said nothing was wrong, but someone please tell me why this is happening?
thanks

I've experienced the same problem here in Massachusetts. At first I thought it was an Apple problem, but then I tried downloading iOS 8 via cellular and found it to be orders of magnitude faster than my FIOS 75/75 network despite speedtest showing full speed capability!
I then tried downloading from Apple through my company's VPN on my home computer (same computer, same physical network as my FIOS setup) and was able to download iOS in about 8 minutes (about 7mb/sec) versus 11-12 kb/sec without the VPN.
This is outrageous for a supposedly high-speed network. Does anyone from Verizon monitor this forum? I'm reluctant to get involved with a level 1 support call on this, as it's clearly not a problem at my end.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Are these iTunes store movies (rentals) or movies from your iTunes library or both.

Connection time-out but then immediately after, no problem

For some reason, the first time I use pacman (after not having used it in a while), the connection times out, but when I Ctrl+C and then do the exact same thing, it starts working.
Any ideas why?

I'm using SSH to connect to the server where this problem is happening, indicating that the LAN connection works. Before invoking pacman I've tried pinging google.com, which works flawlessly.
The problem is still there, I just tried it.

Function SCAN_Op times out but it's not consistent.

I have a PXI 1000B chassis connected to a SCXI 1001 via a PXI6031E MIO card. I have 6 1102c modules plugged into the SCXI chassis. Each module is connected to a BNC 2095 (where my field inputs come in)I have it setup to mux 192 channels into one A/D. I wrote a small program in LabWindows to get familiar with setting up the scan list. The function SCAN_Op times out but not consistently. I have included my code. Can you suggest anything?
Thank you.

How do I get iCloud to share info from my macbook pro to my iMac? I have all the updates on both but I am SO lost!!!

I am having a heck of a time syncing my macbook pro with my iMac. I have all the updates and followed the instructions on apple.com, but there is no communication with either device nor an option that I find to sync them up. When I turn on photo stream on either device, it only selects a few, maybe 1,000 out of the nearly 10,000 photos I have. I try selecting all and then choosing photo stream but with no luck. I know there's a lot of you smart people out there who know what I'm doing wrong. Please help!!!

The following is from this Apple document, iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ, and will help you understand how Photo Stream works:
My Photo Stream
When you take photos on an iOS device, or import photos from your digital camera to your computer, My Photo Stream can automatically upload your new photos to iCloud and push them to all of your other devices.
When do photos upload to My Photo Stream?
How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?
The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.
How many photos are stored in My Photo Stream on my devices and computers?
iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.
Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.
Since your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, be sure to select Photo Stream > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture. On your PC with Photo Stream enabled in the Control Panel, all of your photos will be imported into C:\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream.

IPhone iOS update times out.

I'm trying to download the updates for my iPhone and iPad2; however the connection is apparently too slow. When it times out, you lose everything and must start the download again from 0. Unlike other downloads like music, the updates will not stop and let you restart from where you left off. I'm on a US military base overseas, and the connection is somewhat slow, and erratic.
Is there a place I can go to download the update file that's trustworthy? Not using the iTunes interface, but just downloading the file and dropping it in the proper folder to update?

The most frequent cause of download timeouts is interference from your antivirus and spyware, which you probably don't have as you are using a Mac. However, the network you are connecting through may be have antivirus protection that is the cause the problem. There are other places to get the download, but they are not authorized by Apple, and there is a risk of gettng a corrupted file. There's also the problem of finding the right version; different iDevices have different installers, even for the same version of iOS.

Software Update times out

Hi,
I have OS X 10.8.2 installed on my Imac 20" mid 2007 with an intel core 2 duo 2 ghz, with 4GB of ram. For whatever reason when I click on the apple > software update, it opens the Mac App Store, and then automatically goes to the updates page, but from there nothing loads. It just spins for about 5 mins or so, and then times out on me. Any ideas to help remedy this would be awesome. If I need to give more info just let me know what you need to know and I'll be happy to provide this.
Thank you,

Downloading 2.2.1 update times out and error message

Trying to download 2.2.1 update. It says it will take 2 hours (about 220 MB). Then about 45 minutes into download it says session has timed out. Check network connection or try again later.
Anyone know how I can remedy this and complete download?
Thanks!
Charlie

Another question. When it says "try again later". Would the download be faster if I tried in the middle of the night when/if the apple site is not so busy? Or am I totally off the mark and that has nothing to do with the time issue?
Is 2 hours normal for the 220 mg 2.2.1 download? Is there a reason the connection times out after 45 minutes of a 2 hr. download? Is that the apple site doing the time out or my ISP?
Sorry for all the questions. There are apps I want to download that need the 2.2.1 and I am only at my buddies house with WiFi on the weekends.
Thanks,
Charlie

Ipod Software Updates Time Out

I have the 7.2 iTunes software and the 1.1.1 ipod version software. There is 1.1.3 to be updated and I have tried in vain to update but EVERY time I do the download times out and i'm unable to get it. I have dial up but I can download songs most of the time so what could be wrong?? I called Radio Shack service since I bought it there and their technical support group could only come up with resetting the ipod (which i've done) Anyone have any ideas?

Update your itunes to 10.5.2.11 , stop your antivirus/firewall during the update.
Try it now. If you will get the same problem, post.. Good luck.

3253 error code, times out Downloads through itunes on mac

I have been trying to download the iphone 4 upgrade and some other larger files like movies through itunes and it is soooo slow and always times out or show an error 3253 message. I have searched for a remedy but only find things in regards to windows and i'm on my mac. I'm disconnected my modem/router and reconnected, rebooted, etc. but still having problems. Help! My iphone downloads movies faster than itunes does. The songs are not a problem.

Changing my DNS settings worked for me (3253 errors on my MBP). I followed the instructions here:

Hope that helps!

When I try to upload attachments bigger than about 800k Firefox times out but IE works ok

I have used Firefox (on a Dell PC Win XP) for years with no problems but over the last few months I have been unable to upload anything except the smallest attachments to Outlook webmail. Usually anything less than 800k will work but even then I get a time-out message ocassionally. I have stopped trying anything bigger. When I try IE it always works so it seems to be the browser. Also, I use Mailbigfile to sedn PDFs as big a 80mb with success. I need help or I will have to desert Firefox.

Hello,
Could you please try testing this with Firefox in Safe Mode to see if the issue still appears? See here for instructions:
[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If the issue does not appear in Safe Mode then continue to follow the instructions to identify the setting or add-on that is causing the problem. You will disable them all and re-activate one by one, testing along the way, to find the culprit.
If the issue still appears in Safe Mode then I suggest trying a Firefox Reset:
[[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]
This will return Firefox to its default settings. Your personal data (bookmarks, history etc) will be saved but you will have to reinstall your add-ons.
I hope this helps. Let me know what happens.

All Apple updates time out. But through a VPN, it's fine!
