Checking for updates an error has occurred the request timed out
Whenever I try to check for an update to my software on my computer I get this message: "an error has occurred, the request timed out."
I have not been able to have a software update in many months. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks,
David
Quit all applications
Hold option key down and click the "Go" menu in the menu bar.
Select "Library" from the dropdown.
Library > Preferences
Look for the file com.apple.appstore.plist and move it to Trash.
Restart the computer.

Disable your firewall/security software, then try again.

Am trying to update software through "Software Update" on my iMac (latest Lion operating system).
I keep getting message "An error has occurred. The request timed out"
How do I know if there are software dates available to down load.
ErnieTwo things, bushmanernie (love the name)
First what version of Lion are you running and have you downloaded any Combo updates since you installed it.
Second; I see you only have 10.6.2 in your profile. You might like to update it.
I don't have Lion myself but I'm guessing you don't have the very latest version. You can check what should be available through the opening Apple support page > downloads. -
Hi
I have installed SAP 9.0 PL 12, DI API all version, Integration Component of the SAP 9.0 PL12.
On my iPhone I have the 1.10.1 version of the app SAP.
I followed the directions provided in the note (also in 1602674) and in the forum, but nothing.
I start my PC (server with integration installed), do all the tests possible dall'integration admin and I always correct results.
Start app from my iphone, it connects to my DB but.... after a few minutes I get the error
"Connection Failed - The request timed out. (-1001)"
and then throws me out of the db.
If I try to reconnect, re-entering the password I have always the same error.
To reconnect, I have to restart the PC and the situation repeats itself (is the first logon, then I get the error and I can not reconnect).
Can anyone help me?
THANKS
NLH Thusar
Update: I only changed the startup type of the service DI Proxy, Event, Integration, and instead of putting 'Automatic' I selected 'Automatic (Delayed Start)'.
I rebooted the server and I was able to connect the iPhone via app to my DB: I was about an hour, I created BP, made changes, displayed report.
I then did the logoff.
I tried to reconnect but nothing is returned the error 'Connection Failed - The request timed out. (-1001)'.
Even after restarting the server again, the app connects after about two minutes I get the error 'Connection Failed - The request timed out. (-1001)' and is no longer relates only after you restart the server.
Help

This device does not have a sim card in it. Could this be the reason or am I missing something when I am trying to update.
Yes. You can't update or restore any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim card need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. If you want to update, you need to get a sim card. -

I found a fix for this.
Go to Wifi Settings and then select your Wifi Network. Tap the blue arrow to go into Wifi settings and then select the DNS tab.
Set the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and then go back to the software update page.
This time it shall work.
I tried it on an iPad 1 running iOS 5.0.1 but I am sure this shall help.
Do rate me and reply if it works. -

IMOVIE and IPHOTO update "An Error has occurred in the update"
IMovie and IPhoto update " an error has occured in your update" - What could be the problem?
To the best of my knowledge, RH does not insert any onLoad
events. It looks like the template you have has that onLoad event
(I don't know how it got there) but there is no javascript file
referenced so it errors.
If you do not need that onLoad event, then take it out but
how did it get there? Is this an inherited project? Be careful that
it is not something that should be there and what is wrong is that
there is no javascript file referenced. Talk to one of your
developers, they will understand. -

"An Error has Occurred. The request timed out." - OS X 10.8.2
I have Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.2 installed on my 15" Macbook Pro (Mid-2010).
Upon initiating Software Update, the App Store window appears > 'Checking for Updates' > results in: "An Error has Occurred. The request timed out." (after approximately of 30 seconds).
This is an on-going issue. The OS Firewall is disabled and no third party anti-virus/security software has been installed.
I have contacted Apple Technical Support and they advised the installation of Combo/Supplementary (10.8.2) software.
This was updated as advised; yet the same problem still exists!
Can anyone assist with a 'fix' for this issue and the reason why it is occurring please?Will something like this work on an iPhone and where would I locate it? My App Store was working just fine and this last week it's been slower and slower, plus difficulties with downloading and updates. Both my downloads and updates start and then pop up a 'can't install at this time'. I thought it might b my storage space so I started deleting. Well I have plenty of space now and still get same problem.
Now over the last two days I will type in a search to reinstall the apps that I removed and the App Store tells me request timed out.
Help please
