Connection has timed out on my mac. I think my e-commerce site has been hack

It is really slow I get the same message for both. I own a Mac and have never had to change settings before like a firewall or connection issue. I can connect to any site accept my very own. Is this the work of a hacker?

Temporarily disabling the Anti-Virus/Firewall software on the computer should rectify the network connect timed out issue.

  • I am getting an error message that my network connection has timed out. while trying to update my iPhone on iTunes. Has anyone found a solution? I was given some advice about turning off my firewall and/or virus protection but am nervous about doing that.

    I get a message that my network connection has timed out while trying to update my iPhone on iTunes. Has anyone else had that problem and if so what solutions have you found? I was told to turn off my firewall and/or virus protection while updating but am nervous about doing that for obvious reasons. I'm also disgusted with Apple not providing free tech support.

  • ITunes connection has timed out - solved on Mac

    I have a MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8.  I am running iTunes 10.5.  Every time I went to purchase an app thru the iTunes store, on login attempt, I'd receive an error message that the iTunes connection had timed out.
    All of the Apple troubleshooting support I checked said to check the connection (duh), check the version of iTunes was current, and for Windows users, the version of IE.  Check check check. Everything was fine.
    I finally stumbled on this article first:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3297
    Following the steps as outlined, led to checking the firewall.  Not understanding what step(5) meant "Reduce the restrictions on access in the firewall" because the connections for iTunes were allowed,  I ended up clicking on the Advanced button, and then opening the console log.  In the console log, I found numerous errors from "com.apple.kdcmond" that was attempting to access my computer.  I was concerned it was some vicious attack on the computer, but after a search of "com.apple.kdcmond" found another post complaining of the same error messages that I was receiving.  The clip from below was a response to fix the problem.  I followed the directions.... as it said, my computer name was missing from the field where it belonged.  Entering my hard drive name in the blank field, fixed my iTunes problem.  Hope this helps someone else.
    I just had the same problem. I solved it by going to the Sharing System Preference and entering my computer name, which was blank. It had been entered previously, and I'm not sure how it was deleted. At any rate, the error messages went away.

    Just wanted to add, when I logged on earlier to post the first question, the message "Connection has timed out" seemed to happen within seconds. This was going from the log in page back to the forum page.
    Sometimes, the message does not appear for a minute or so when loading a new page or as before, when going from one page to another within a domain.
    This time, the forum page loaded without a problem and no error between log in page and returning to forum.
    Therefore, this is an intermittent problem.
    Suggestions?

  • Connection has timed out - error message keeps appearing when moving to another site.

    Once connected to a site it seems OK. Also my router security log records a lot of "SYN flood" events - several of these are outbound, so could there be a relation here? Is Firefox generating these which somehow clog the router?
    Thanks

    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?

    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.

    Try a direct download:
    iPod, iPhone and iPad Firmware Download
    Manually install it by holding your "Option" key down when clicking on the "Restore" button in iTunes and select the firmware file you downloaded.

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

  • When i attempt to log on to my college site i keep getting The connection has timed out. Is there a way of changing the time setting , to fix this?

    This message "The connection has timed out" only happens when i attempt to log on to my blackboard account for college. All other log in' work fine.

    Thanks.  So there's no means of knowing whether a text message has been delivered, not to mention time of delivery.  Perhaps I've gone for the wrong phone.  It might do a lot but seems to miss out on some basics.

  • Long time to load a first page, get "the connection has timed out" frequently.

    Frequently takes a long time to get to first page. Even a "speed test" to check my DSL connection. Usually can get to "google.com" quickly but it did come up slow today (just a test for a simple page).
    I have a wireless N router with it's own Firewall (which I didn't want) and I think I've turned it off. Symantec firewall, don't think WinXP firewall is on.
    Tried refresh of Adobe Flash Player per suggestion in this forum, no help.
    Would like to have a tool to see how long each step of getting to the web takes so I can see if there's a bottleneck.
    Occasionally "try again" button works on the "connection has timed out" message.
    My PC is 6 yr old. xp-home, lots of ram, HDD available. Run Symantec AV/MBAM frequently. Ran Housecall and Dr. Web- no problems.
    Talked to my DSL provider and Symantec in depth. Similar lethargy when I get IE running but not as frequent as under FF. Measured my DSL speed - 5MB as promised.
    When the lag occurs, Task Manager does not show FF taking a lot of processor time.
    Have done the things suggested in FAQ to help with performance.
    Also going to bleepingcomputer.com to see if there are suggestions there.
    I'm hoping someone has experienced an analog to this and has a suggestion to diagnose and solve. Thanks - Mike.

    Here's your sign! This is my problem and its solution. Let me know if someone needs help to interpret.
    If you frequently get "connection timed out", go to your ISP and get Manual DNS addresses. Then beat them till they put a real fix on their system.
    Problem is in the DNS server service provided by my DSL provider, Bell South/AT&T. Result of a poor performing DNS is that one can't get thru to the selected site.
    If you do a web search +dsl +"time out" you will see the history with Windstream. THEY finally issues a system-wide fix which, it appears, flattened the issue. Then add +AT&T to see that experience. I did not read it all thru, I'm wasted chasing this problem. I don't give AT&T ANY credit for customer service or heading off problems for their customers on this one.
    AT&T support offers me:

    How do I check and update my DNS settings, if my DNS settings are not "server assigned"?
    When you visit a Web site, your browser sends the site's alphabetic domain name to a DNS server. The DNS server translates the domain into a numeric IP address, then responds to your computer with the Internet location of the Web site. Incorrect DNS settings on your computer can disrupt this information flow and cause your Internet browsing to slow down or fail.
    If you have trouble browsing the Internet, check your DNS settings. You likely have your DNS settings as "server-assigned." This allows DNS information to be automatically sent to your computer, which may improve your browsing experience. However, you may need to have your DNS settings manually entered
    Note: If you are using a router to connect to your Internet service, check with your manufacturer's web site for instructions on updating your DNS settings with the following information:
    Primary DNS: 68.94.156.1
    Secondary DNS: 68.94.157.1
    1. Click the Start button and select Control Panel from the menu.
    2. Select Network and Internet Connections.
    3. Double-click the Network Connections icon at the lower right.
    4. Under the LAN or High-Speed Internet section, right-click the Local Area Connection icon and select Properties.
    5. From the "Components checked are used by this connection" list, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), then click the Properties button.
    6. Read the current DNS setting on the lower half of the TCP/IP properties screen. If the radio button Obtain DNS server address automatically is selected, you do not need to update your DNS settings. Otherwise, please continue.
    7. Input the new Preferred DNS server of 68.94.156.1 and the Alternate DNS server of 68.94.157.1.
    8. Click OK.
    9. Return to the Network Connections screen. If you have a DSL Connection icon in the Broadband section, proceed to next step otherwise you have completed updating your DNS settings.
    10. Under the Broadband section, right-click the DSL Connection icon and select Properties.
    11. Select the Networking tab.
    12. From the "This connection uses the following items" list, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button.
    13. Read the current DNS setting on the lower half of the TCP/IP properties screen. If the radio button Obtain DNS server address automatically is selected you do not need to up date your DNS settings. Otherwise, please continue.
    14. Input the new Preferred DNS server of 68.94.156.1 and the Alternate DNS server of 68.94.157.1.
    15. Click OK.
    ================================= end quote.
    So it appears I can't put screen shots in here. Well I hope you get the gist.
    In fact this is a bit hosed up.
    It says if you user "automatic dns" you're OK, that's opposite of my experience.
    I changed to the specified DNS addresses and things seem 99.9% fixed.
    I also changed my Router (wireless) settings.
    If there's a survey of my experience here I'll take it.

  • Cant download ios5. Using windows computer. Downloaded update 3 times gets to 100% and then says connection has timed out and I lose the lot. Any suggestions

    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.
