Apple ID is timing out my session incessantly

Hello,
I have recently created a new Apple ID with my custom Google Apps email. I am trying to manage its settings (specifically trying to enable dual factor authentication) but it is timing out my session before I can do anything. If I'm lucky enough to enough make it to through clicking on "Password and Security", it will for-sure sign me out by the time I've entered my phone number. It's not just with Password and Security, I really can't do anything without it timing out my session. My sessions seem to last about 20 seconds. I will be surprised if I can even post this thread without it signing me out, so I'm going to copy it before I post it.
If it means anything, I am on the latest iteration of OS X and I'm using Google Chrome. Also, this is not the first time I have had this issue, but I decided to finally do something about it. I know how much Apple values security but 20-second sessions? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Skip the step, you can correct it in the device Settings
1. Settings > iCloud > Apple ID > Enter Apple ID
2. Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID > Enter Apple ID
3. Settings > FaceTime > On
4. Settings > Messages > iMessage > On
Basically this how you manually setup, on at a time, what the setup assistant does all at once and that should forgo the timing out problem

Apple Script - Apple Event is Timing Out

i am a novice at apple scripting. i have written an apple script for backing up my desktop to my iPod. i was able to do this based on the basic info in my "panther- the missing manual" book that i have. i have the basic script working but after about 2 minutes into the backup, my "Script Editor" icon in the toolbar starts bouncing and when i click on it, i get a window that says that the apple event has timed out. the backup continues and finishes without problems. however, i would like to edit the apple script to correct this issue and eliminate this error message. i have tried experimenting with applescript commands but i have not been able to find a good primer to learn the language. i need to add script that will allow the event to run for four minutes before it times out.
anyone know the applescript wording to fix my error message?
thanks

thanks for getting back to me. i tried to use this additional script before, after and inside my original script and still was timing out.
this is the last script i tried. the compiler compiles is fine. i just keep getting the "timeout" error message after two minutes. i have also tried your the additional script before the "tell" and after the "end tell". complies and runs fine in these other locations but still get the error message after two minutes.
tell application "Finder"
with timeout of 300 seconds
--commands
end timeout
duplicate folder "Desktop" of folder "alan" of folder "users" of startup disk to disk "Encrypted iPod" with replacing
end tell

Apple ID keeps timing out while trying to sign in after updating to iOS5

I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS5 and now while trying to sign in using my apple ID (on the phone) I keep getting an error message saying "Could Not Sign In : The request timed out."

Same thing is happening here, I can't get past the startup wizard, I had to skip the step - I don't know whether that will screw up my setup or not.

Can't file taxes due to Safari Timing out my session

I am having problems with Safari saying that I have been inactive and ending my sessions. It has happened on a few different sites and with in minutes of even signing into my account. I checked the forums and found some topics that suggested checking the proxies and turning off extensions. I checked both of those things and that didn't help. Any more suggestions?

Hi,
Could be a third party Safari plugin causing this. Follow the instructions here.

Apple tv - iTunes timing out with music

I upgraded apple tv last month. Since then, when in itunes, music times out within 20 minutes. I remain connected to my PC because my photos still play as the screen saver. It happens every time. Occasionally if I wait long enuf the music will start up. I am on Win7 and assume that I am on gen2. I bought the apple tv in late 2010.

I bought my Apple TV on January 2. I am having the same problem. I followed one suggestion that involved rebooting the AppleTV device. That has partially helped by extending the time before my iTunes stops playing on AppleTV. Can anyone help with this home sharing problem.
thanks!

Timing out inactive sessions

Is there a way to set inactive sessions to timeout after a certain period of time?

You may consider to use SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME
REFERENCE: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B12037_01/network.101/b10776/sqlnet.htm
============================================================
SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME
Purpose
Use parameter SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME to specify a the time interval, in minutes, to send a probe to verify that client/server connections are active. Setting a value greater than 0 ensures that connections are not left open indefinitely, due to an abnormal client termination. If the probe finds a terminated connection, or a connection that is no longer in use, it returns an error, causing the server process to exit. This parameter is primarily intended for the database server, which typically handles multiple connections at any one time.
Limitations on using this terminated connection detection feature are:
* It is not allowed on bequeathed connections.
* Though very small, a probe packet generates additional traffic that may downgrade network performance.
* Depending on which operating system is in use, the server may need to perform additional processing to distinguish the
connection probing event from other events that occur. This can also result in degraded network performance.
Default 0
Minimum Value 0
Recommended Value 10
Example
SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME=10

Tried purchasing iTunes music. Put in my apple id and password then i was directed to a 'Terms and Conditions' page. I checked the box then clicked the 'accept' button next page read 'your Session has timed out ' try again with a Done button to click on

Tried purchasing music from the iTunes Store. When the window popped up I put in my apple id and password. Then I was directed to a 'Terms and Conditions' page. I checked the box next to the 'Yes I agree to these terms and conditions' - then clicked the 'accept' button next page read 'Your Session has timed out. Try again.' with a 'Done' button to click on. Oh the same thing happens when i try to download free iTunes. Yes I have tried & tried it again I even logged off and singed back in-- no joy
After accessing my iTunes account I was not able to change anything like my credit card number when I tried and was sent right to the 'Your session has timed out. Try again.'
The last time I purchased any anything was on September 25th 2011 and the 'terms & conditions' page was last updated on October 12, 2011
Does anyone have an idea to what is going on with my iTunes version 9.2.1 (5) and I can not upgrade to a higher version my iMac does not have the intel processor chip.Thank you for your time and help with this matter. You are greatly appreciated

I am having the same problem also! I posted on here about it, but no one has responded with ideas. I called technical support and e-mailed them, the only suggestions they gave was for the to turn off my firewall. But I didn't change anything, so it shouldn't suddenly stop working. Maybe this is just an iTunes issue? But it doesn't even recognize my account anymore, and I cannot log in now.
If you happen to get an answer, will you please let me know what works for you?
Thanks!

Me too and I can't download games from AppStore they said that the apple Id isn't in the iTunes what can I do? Please reply

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.
