Certain websites (but not all) saying "connection has timed out" in all browsers
"Problem loading page" message, "server taking too long to respond" on a few websites that I regularly use in Firefox. However, a number of sites are still OK to load. Other browsers such as Safari or Internet Explorer are also affected.
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Error_loading_websites
You can try to reset (power off/on) the router.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Cant connect to itunes store it says connection has timed out
when i try to access the itunes store it says cant connect to itunes store connection has timed out make sure your network setting are correct and your network connection is active, then try again....i have re-synced and downloaded the new itunes,i can access it on my ipod touch 3rd gen. but when i go to it on the computer it doesnt work i NEED HELP!!!
I've had the same problem for the last two weeks. Finally resolved the issue in Windows 7.
Go to start button, control panel, system & security, windows firewall. On the left side of the box click on "advanced settings." On the left side of the box again click on "Inbound Rules." You should be able to see iTunes under the name category. Make sure it has a green check mark next to it. If it does not, then double click on the name. In the "general" box which comes up open, click "Allow the Connection." That worked for me. Somehow itunes was blocked but now I can access the itunes store again. -
I have been trying to download ios5 using my windows compute Windows 7. I connected Ipad and opened Itunes etc. Three times I have sat there for up to an hour downloding the program and it gets to the end (100%) sometimes it even processses the file and then I get a message saying the connection has timed out and to try again. I am on a wireless connection and it is so frustrating. I have the latest version of itunes. Any suggestions?
Try temporarily disabling your firewall and anti-virus software then try the download again.

help! i have never been able to access the music store.It says something like"Itunes could not connect to the music store.The network connection timed out.Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again" i dont know what to do!!!!!
The short term fix is to just disable your firewall, the long term fix is to allow iTunes to connect thru the firewall here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93434

Keep getting the message the connection has timed out over and over again
While trying to go on certain sites I continually get the connection has timed out message. Everyone else tells me they have no issues but I do it seems it is for government count and city employment sites. Help I am trying to apply for work and cannot do so. Thank you.
I went to Norton and they were trying to help me, even to the point of removing Norton. They figured it was a firewall problem and I agree. They were not able to help me, but I shut the computer down, unplugged the modem and router, waited about 10 minutes and then started plugging everything in. It all works fine. I think the error message was cached in the memory and it needed to be reset to erase it.
Hope this helps. -

did your "router" cost less than $200?

are you an active member of the eye patch crowd?

do other internets applications experience problems at the same time? -
some times my internet connection will say it has timed out and I can not connect. but my friends mac never has a problem. How can I fix this?
Just confirming, when you have the trouble, the wifi icon is grayed-out or has all bars showing? I believe you are saying that is is grayed-out - not connected to your wireless router.
I have a Mini that started to lose connection to the Internet after the 10.7.3 update but still showed the wireless as connected. If I pinged the wireless router, I would get a quarter of the packets failing to return. The router was a Netgear that supported 802.11N connections. As a test, I set it to 802.11G (54MBps) maximum and the Mini worked fine for a week - no dropouts. And for the other devices that did support 802.11N, while there was a noticeable delay with downloads and pages loading, they still worked.
As another test, I changed the Netgear router to a Billion 802.11N model and the Mini has not had a problems since. (It is still using 802.11g). So it could be your router that is causing trouble for your Mac.
Have a look at some of the More Like This postings in the right column. There has been a number of Mac owners experiencing wifi connection issues and some very good suggestions as to how to resolve their issue. -
The connection has timed out with certain sites on all browsers
When I type in google.ca or bing.com in my address bar, it says " The connection has timed out. The server at bing.com is taking too long to respond." i have done may virus scans and that has not worked. This happens in all brosers and i am using windows XP. I am mainly using FireFox 3.6. My friends can access the sites and seem like i am the only one with the problem.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://bing.com
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefo8769 79680741803 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)Only on some sites.
Really weird thing is, Internet Explorer works FINE!!! -
I can not dowload the new updated software for my Ipod touch 4G. When i do I get an error message that says Network connection has timed out. I have done the trouble shooting steps. Downloaded the latest version of Itunes, and checked network connection
Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

I've tried downloading iOS5 several times and after an hour each time I get a message that says my network connection has timed out. But I can't find any information about "timing out" or how to correct the situation. Any help?
Disable your antivirus and firewall, and try again.

When I try connecting to livejournal, it tries for a while, then I get an error page saying that the connection has timed out. What's odd is that usually livejournal gives us a warning when the site will be temporarily offline. When I try connecting to livejournal through Explorer, the same thing happens. I've been hitting the try again button for almost a full day. Again, livejournal doesn't normally go offline this long.
Nevermind, it's working again. Huh. I posted this, then tried livejournal again and it worked. I'm glad it is, but hey! *iz suspicous*

Surfing the web I constantly get a dialog box popping up that says "The connection was rest" or " Server not found" or "The connection has timed out". The panel gives me three possible causes, none of which are correct and tells me to "Try again". Sometimes when I try again the site appears, sometimes it does after several tries and sometimes it never does. I called my IP, Cox and they told me it is a result of something Microsoft put out in their updates to IE (presumably to discourage people from using Firefox). Can you help me get rid of this problem?

It gets as far as most of the initial step one but then showing awaiting a responce from Apple it stops saying that the connection has timed out.
I saw in one thread around here that some folks with a particular brand of firewall or anti-virus installed actually had to uninstall it to get it to work. Unfortunately I can't find the thread again. What brand of firewall and/or anti-virus are you running?
Ah ha! Just thought of it... NOD32. If you're got this software installed you may need to completely uninstall it. -
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?
