Connection Timeout error message - HELP!

Hi,
I am so fed up with my internet connection....so here is my story....
I live above a shop in a rented flat which is owned by the shop owner, he kindly gave me the password for his router so I could use his internet free of charge.
This has worked fine with 3 different connections he has had since I have lived there and was working with the current one up until about a week ago.....it all of a sudden went off, however it was still showing up as an available network in my networks list, but when I try to connect to it using the password it brings up the 'connection timeout' error message.
I thought that this was something to do with his router so I brought my friends 3 Huawei E585 wireless internet device round to try that, but the same message appears, HOWEVER my iPhone 4 connects to this perfectly fine with a full signal strength.
THEN....my Dad took my Macbook and the 3 Huawei E585 device over to his house and my Macbook connected to it straight away??? ....... is there anything in the building that could affect the connection?? - as it seems to be my flat for some reason all of a sudden!? ..... my Dad has suggested it may be some sort of electrical interference if anything new has been installed recently?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as I'm SOOOOOO fed up of not having internet!!
Thanks

John,
I had the same problem when I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard in January. My memory is already rusty but try the following:
1. Go to System Preferences > Network pane. On the left pane, click on AirPort. In the right pane lower right, click Advanced button. Then on the AirPort tab, click on the name of your network and then the minus sign to remove it from the list.
2. Click Apply and quit System Preferences.
3. Put the computer to sleep.
4. Wake the computer.
5. Go back in to Network preferences, AirPort tab. Click the plus sign to add your network. Fill in the Network Name, choose the type of Security by clicking on the pop-down bar, enter password/code/phrase and click Add. NOTE: Do not connect to the network at this time.
6. Click Apply and Quit the Network Preferences.
7. On the Menu row, click the Airport icon and select your network. (IF your network does not show, choose Join Other Network. Fill in the Network Name, choose the type of Security by clicking on the pop-down bar, enter password/code/phrase and click Join.)
8. Verify connectivity
9. Put the computer to sleep.
10. Wake the computer.

  • Why do i keep getting the "internet connection timeout" error message?

    i have been upgrading a few standard itunes albums to itunes plus versions through my 3g mobile broadband connection, while not exactly a fast process, it was working fine until i started to get a backlog of 3 or 4 albums which were waiting in a queue to be downloaded, now every time i do the "check for downloads" option i get the "internet connection timed out" error message...this has been going on for 2 days! am i right in suspecting the backlog of albums is too much for my 3g mobile broadband connection? this is really doing my head in, if any of you techies could help me, it'd be much appreciated...?

    yes i have recently updated to itunes 8.2.1, but i am starting to think its apple's servers (i tried to download at my brothers house...different computer and connection...same connection timeout error), because it will still let me download an album, but not necessarily all of the tracks. when i questioned itunes customer services about the seemingly hit and miss state of affairs with downloading, they told me to wait 3 weeks before trying to download the tracks that were giving me the grief (2 tracks from an arctic monkeys album)...which kinda indicates they know there is a problem and are trying to fix it, why else would they say wait 3 wks??? they gave me 5 free music tracks too, which is handy.

  • Can't connect via Airport -- "connection timeout" error, instead

    I've got a MacBook Pro here, which was successfully connected online via Airport, under OS X 10.4.11.
    Then I upgraded to Leopard (10.5), and the machine would no longer connect automatically to the router.
    OK, I tried manually configuring the wireless connection, but no luck. So, I brought in an old iBook G4 running the same OS (10.5), and successfully linked it to the router, wirelessly, via Airport.
    Copying the procedure that worked with the iBook -- to the MBPro -- did not help. Still getting a "connection timeout" error message.
    So I performed a fresh install of 10.5 -- and I even DLed the Software Updates, including two that were supposed to improve Airport functionality -- and tried again. No luck.
    Any suggestions?
    TIA.

  • Uncaught Exception: Applicatio​n Registry Wait Timeout Error Messages - BB 8703e

    Ok, I hope someone here can help me a bit more then US Cellular has done so far for this never ending problem.
    This whole problem started after I updated my BB device software and installed face book application over the weekend.  Since then my BB will not receive any data signal, however I can make phone calls still after confirming many Uncaught Exception: Application Registry Wait Timeout Error Messages. Until they start coming up again.
    Here are some steps I have already tried to correct this problem
    Remove Battery, then reboot
    Load up Blackberry Manager to restore setting -- BB Manager doesn't even seem to see it anymore when I connect it.
    US Cellular has already tried reloading the BB device software again
    Has anyone ever ran into this or a similar problem like this one and figured out a  solution to it?
    If yes Please let me know.  I don't want to end up carrying around some basic cellphone again.  I am already addicted to my crackberry.
    TIA

  • Won't sync and no error message. help

    i plug my ipod in to the usb port, it lights up but the screen doesnt change to the normal connecting or syncing screen and it doesn't show up on itunes. there is no dinging sound for connection. no error messages. all my usb ports work, tried them out with other equipment but ipod wont' sync. please help.

    I have the same problem.  I have 64-bit Windows 7, all updates installed, anti-virus uninstalled, and have a specific firewall exception made just for iTunes, however the iTunes Store still refuses to load.  After waiting a (very long) period of time I get the following screen:
    Sometimes I won't get this screen at all, and iTunes will finish loading with a blank screen.  All of my other computers can load iTunes perfectly fine.  This error occurred directly following the iOS 5 update for my iPhone.  Seeing as that the only computer affected was the one updating my iPhone, I figure there's some connection between the two.  I have
    cleared catche, cookies, everything
    uninstalled and reinstalled all Apple software and components (and end processes)
    completely deleted my iTunes library
    tried creating a new account, but can't even do that becuase I can't connect to the store
    tired de-authorizing and re-authroized the account
    signing-out and signing back in
    disabled parental controls
    made sure I WASN'T behind a proxy server
    I
    Apple Support tried to help with my request but for some reason refused to listen to the notion that this problem occured because of an iOS5 update (and iTunes 10.5).  The only thing I haven't done is wipe my harddrive, which seems to be the only option now. 
    Somebody please help.

  • I lost my connection when I was using internet and when I want to reconnect to airport it give me connection timeout error, I changed my password on router but still doesn't work. How can i fix my problem?

    Hi,
    I lost my airport connection when I was using internet and when I wanted to re-reconnect to airport it gave me connection timeout error, I changed my password on router but still doesn't work. How can i fix my problem?

    Hello there hastibahreini,
    It sounds like you were using your Wi-Fi network from your Airport base station and the connection cut out. You have reset the password on the device but the issue persists. I would try the 3 resets outlined in the following article in order to help resolve the issue. If it persists, is the Wi-Fi connection issue happening on more than one device or computer?

  • Vimeo video unable to connect. Error message says "video format or mime type is not supported.

    Hi I am using a template with a full screen video landing page but i am unable to get Vimeo to video to connect. Error message says "video format or mime type is not supported".
    I have uploaded successfully to Vimeo however when published to catalyst and previewed the error message "video format or mime type is not supported." is displayed.
    Is this a format issue? I should point out I am using a template from Museworld as I am not a designer or graphic artist just another noob.@

    Hi,
    This seems to be a Firefox error:

    Kindly check if you are able to view the video on Vimeo.
    Also, try using another browser.
    Hope it helps,

  • Webservice Connection Timeout Error in Sun Java System Application server

    I have a java code to connect to Ebay Shopping Webservice that uses the client stub generated through Axis. The code works fine when I run it from the main method of a stand alone Java application. Which means there is no issue with the Proxy settings or any other network setting that could block the webservice from my system. However when I use the same code inside a JSF based Web Application, a connection timeout error comes up. The Web application is deployed on the Sun Java System Application server. The stacktrace of the exception is

    The JDK version on my machine is 1.5.0_14. Can somebody point me as where I should be looking for errors?

    You need to delete all the files under the 'generated' directory to force the server to recompile them after the JDK upgrade. Also check in domain.xml and make sure the JVM parameter is pointing to the JDK that you have installed. It is also worthwhile to check asenv.conf to see which JDK that file is pointing to as well.

  • Iphone 5 Screen is Frozen Connection Timeout Error Connection to this app has timed out

    I upgraded to IOS 7 just a few hours before my Iphone 5 screen froze and I cannot make changes -  I have a Connection Timeout Error with Connection to this app has timed out.  With Ok in blue.  The screen doesn't respond,  I can turn off the phone, tap OK or do anthing.  Any advice on how I can reset or fix?

    Check for any anti-virus or anti-spyware software you might have. Temporarily disable that to continue. Normally this is what will cause a timeout. I assume you have a good Internet connection?

  • Connection timeout error trying to connect to wireless network

    Going nuts...
    I have my Time Capsule plugged into an outlet that runs back to my switch (Netgear) which in turn goes into my modem (AT&T uverse).
    (the switch runs out to about 6 ethernet outlets in my house)
    Everything was working grand until I screwed something up, no idea what, of course!
    I have set my Time Capsule set up...
    In the AirPort Utility
    AirPort tab
    Wireless mode:create a wireless network
    Connect using: Ethernet
    Internet tab
    Connect using: Ethernet
    Connection sharing: Off (Bridge mode)
    From these settings I can see the wireless network I have set up, but I can't connect to it (get a 'connection timeout' error when trying to connect to the wireless network using my laptop)
    When I try to change to Conenction Sharing to: 'share a public IP address' or 'distribute a range of IP address', then I get other errors... (DHCP Beginning and DHCP Ending Address Errors).
    Any advice would be great - thanks! 

    Bridge Mode is the correct setting for your Time Capsule.
    To aid in troubleshooting, I suggest that you temporarily move the Time Capsule close to the Uverse router and connect directly to one of the Ethernet ports on that device. Test to see if your wireless is working.
    If yes, then move the Time Capsule again and this time temporarily connect to the Ethernet switch to test that way.
    Keep working your way outward, testing as  you go. If the wireless works on the first test when you connect directly to the Uverse router, at some point, you will find the connection problem. It's almost always something simple, like an Ethernet cable that is not making a good connection with one of the Ethernet ports.
