Device gets timed out?

Hi. I've been having some similar problems as many others but I haven't seen this particular one addressed yet. Each time I try to sync my new iPod touch to iTunes I get this message: "the ipod cannot be synced. the device timed out." Then the second message: "the required disc cannot be found."
My music plays just fine on iTunes. I was able to sync some photos but cannot sync my music. I've tried different things: switched from usb hub directly to laptop; used a different usb port in my laptop; checked my device manager and it does recognize the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver; tried to only sync a handful of songs instead of my entire list; have some songs on an external hard drive, some on my 'C' drive and some created directly from cd to iTunes. Any suggestions would really help as I'd like to be able to use this awesome new device. Otherwise I see a spot on the far wall with it's name on it. Thanks.

Hi,
i have the exact same issue. the library is fine, am running winxp with all updates sp2, am running itunes version 7.6.0.29, the disks are fine, defragged with no errors, there are no errors with the mp3 files. the ipod touch is connected directly with the supplied usb cable. There are no third party aps running in the background.
itunes refused to upload mp3 files to the ipod with error message:
"the ipod "ipod name" cannot be synced. The device timed out"
This error message is displayed twice.
While browsing google, i find that i am not alone with this issue. The only conclusion that i can find is that apple have shipped a batch of defective ipods but i hope this is not the case as i like my ipod, even tho you cant use it for data storage and itunes wont recognize it without an internet connection which is also annoying. another annoyance, there is no filename display column in itunes, why is this?

  • How do I fix this error: The iPad cannot be synced. The device has timed out?

    Hello out there! Would someone be so kind as to point me in the right direction in fixing my little promblem? I can't seem to figure out how to get my syncing process to work properly. I've updated all my apps and I have even done the steps to configure. I've chosen to use "my iPad" back up feature and then the next step is to connect to iTunes and sync everything. It will do so and then it will say in the window box of iTunes "Finishing Sync". A minute or so later it will feature an error box presenting the statement: "The iPad, "my iPad" cannont sync. The device has timed out." Where do I go from here? Thanks to any with some good solutions. LJ

    Oops! Shall I add that I have recently updated my iPad's iOS software to iOS 5.1.1 and this is when my troubles began. :-)

  • Won't sync because device has "timed out"

    My phone won't sync, I get a "device has timed out" message, why?

    The device time out is a USB error from what I have read.
    I am guessing the iphone/ipad  has yet to recognize the type of USB port it is connected to over the usb cable.
    Rebooting by soft reboot or a hard reboot causes it to sense the USB port and adapt accordingly.
    A  soft boot (home button and power button) with the USB cable connected probably works.
    A hard boot by turning off power completely and then back on with the USB cable connected worked for me on my Ipad.

  • "Device has timed out"

    I'm still trying to sync music and audiobooks but keep getting a message "that my device has timed out." Any suggestions.
    Thanks.

    Barbara,
    I was having a similar problem. I kept getting a "device timed out" or a "disk cannot be found" error when syncing.
    However, when I repaired my disk permissions, all problems (and weird iTunes crashes) went away and I was able to sync everything: photos, music, contacts, calendar, etc.
    1) To repair disk permissions (on a mac) go to:
    Applications-->Utilities-->Disk Utility
    2) Select your hard drive in the left pane
    3) Click "repair disk permissions"
    Hope this helps,

  • How do i transfer music from my windows 7 computer to my iphone 4s when it says the device has timed out?

    when i connect my iphone 4s to my windows 7 pc, it says the device has timed out so cannot connect. what do i do? i need to transfer music from my pc to my phone but it wont connect. please help, thank you!

    Temporarily disable any security software on the computer, then attempt to sync content to the device.
    If that resolves the problem, contact whomever supports the security software (not Apple) and inquire how to prevent their software from intereferring with iTunes.

  • Getting Timed out exception while calling a web service

    Hi,
    when i am invoking a web service(using routing), the osb proxy is getting timed out before receiving the response from routed service.
    Also we are not aware of how much response time the routed service will take. so apart from increasing the connection time is there any alternate solution?
    can any one suggest.

    I do not think there is any other way apart from increasing timeouts to call a web service from OSB synchronously which is taking a long time.
    Other alternatives are either to make the service asynchronous delyed request response type, which will mean a change at the backend webservice.
    Ideally synchronous web services are designed to respond within a few seconds and not take minutes for processing. I would say that if the backend web service is taking more than a minute then they need to either tune their service performance better so it responds faster OR change it to an asynchronous service.

    Some Flash-based games can take more time than to load, so you may have to increase the timeout on crash protection. See [[The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed]].

  • New to I-pad and keep getting timed out when trying to download apps any help?

    Any help when constantly getting timed out message on trying to download apps by using security questions?

    I had the same problem! I don't know what caused it, possibly slow Internet but I suppose my antivirus or other software could have affected it. Maybe it's an iTunes problem.
    After restarting the download at least 5 times in iTunes after it timed out, I found this website. I didn't know this before, but you can download the update in your browser and then apply it to your iPhone in iTunes once it finishes. I used Firefox 4 and it downloaded without timing out once. All you have to do is hold down Shift and then click on Update in iTunes and it will prompt you to select the update that you downloaded and it will apply it.
    Try this and let me know how it works!

    FYI I am referring to my ISP email on the providor's website, although I have not tried opening other email accounts on the updated Firefox.

    Hi Kaitlynlh,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If your device is timing out, I would try restarting the iPhone and attempting to connect again.  If the issue still persists, try resetting as well.  You can find instructions here:
