Download to 4.2 timing out--why?

I have a Verizon and Cricket Wi-Fi card for my internet (no other high speed where I live). I'm trying to download OS 4.2 within iTunes and the download says it will take 4-6 hours and keeps timing out after about an hour. I get a message that the server timed out causing the download to stop.
My speed is about 0.53 Mbps download (I know that *****).
Cricket support says this is an issue with iTunes, I think it is an issue with them.
Getting this in iTunes is the only way to update to 4.2 isn't it? I can't do it directly with the iPad can I?
Help!

I'll check that out. Do you know what the size of the download is? I've checked all over the apple web site and can't find it anywhere. I'm limited to 5GB per month per card.

I cannot get the updates for ipad to download. when it gets ready to process the file an error message pops up saying the software was unable to download and the network timed out. any suggestions...

i am trying to update the software on my ipad from 4.2 to 4.3.3 but i cannot get it to download. I get an error message that says the software was unable to download because the network timed out. I have tried to download it 7 or 8 different times and still get the same message. I cannot restore the factory settings either. The same thing happens. Does anyone have any suggestions? It did this when trying to update to 4.2. I don't remember how we were able to get the software to update. Thanks.

Thank you King_Penguin! It worked beautifully. I had turned the firewalls off but not the antivirus. You are great! I am new to this apple community thing so it looks like I cannot mark your reply as "correct answers", but it was. Thanks a ton!

How fast an internet connection is required to download Photoshop without getting timed out by the server?

What minimum internet speed is required to download Photoshop without being timed out by the server?
I experienced a spectacular crash and blue-screen freeze while attempting to download the creative cloud from a hotel wifi system.
Since I don't want a repeat of that calamity, I suspect I was timed out but would welcome input. The hotel has about 1 mbps internet speed according to speedtest.net.
I'm currently working in China but live in Atlanta, waiting to return home to download isn't practical.

Zaphod922 there is no specific bandwidth requirement but if there is enough failures then the download will eventually be canceled. Perhaps a coffee shop wifi hot spot to download the applications?
As an alternative you can download the base installers from Adobe CC 2014 Direct Download Links: Creative Cloud 2014 Release | ProDesignTools. You would still need to download the updates but having the base install in place will reduce the downloads through the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

Can't download latest iPhone 4 software update, keeps timing out, why?

I am trying to update iPhone 4 software. It goes about 20 minutes then says the server timed out. Any ideas on how to solve this?

Single biggest cause of this is security software on your computer: Anti-Virus software, Firewalls, etc. Try turning off or completely disabling all of that stuff.

Everytime I connect to update message comes up saying There was a problem with the downloading The network connection timed out what should I do

After connecting with itunes phone starts update but then message comes up saying "There was aproblem downloading the software for the iphone The network connection timed out" How do I fix this problem?

Usual cause of this is security software on your computer: Firewalls & Anti-Virus software. Turn off or disable all of that stuff, try again.

Downloading 3.0 software - Timed out message

Tried downloading the 3.0 software twice. Both times the download completes but then message appears about connection "timed out" It didn't "time out" I have DSL. This happened during the previous Ipod update & I forget what Apple told me to do to alleviate the problem. I tried turning off the firewall but that didn't help. Any ideas?

Have a look here for some possible remedies.

Unable to download 4.3.3 timed out message

every tjime I attempt to download 4.3.3 I get a timed out message.

I'll keep an eye on this thread. I've been having the same problem since the weekend. I can download the whole lot but then times out when it processes. I've tried downloading only rather than updating but I still get the error and the whole download (that's taken 30 mins to download) dissappears.
I'll try the disable sugestion but I've never had these problems before.

HT201263 Please help, I'm extremely frustrated. Have 4th G ipod touch stuck in recovery mode. Tried connecting to another computer to restore. Goes through 75 minutes of ipod software update then get a Problem downloading. Network connection timed out

Please help, I'm extremely frustrated. ipod is stuck in recovery mode. Connected to different computer to restore and after 75 minutes of downloading get a message that there was a Problem downloading, network connection timed out. Cannot get past "connect to itunes" on ipod.

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

My iPhone 5 will not let me download Apps it keeps saying timed out, why is this?

How come this happens?

It's not telling you to come here, it's telling you to contact iTunes support:

There is no one from Apple here, & no one here can help you.

While playing Zoo and Farm Town on Facebood Firefox always asks me to log on it is always timing out Why??????????????????????? Very Frustrating

While on Facebook... Firefox stops working and asks me to log on again very frustrating I go on Chrome and it does the same thing but when I use my husband email chrome stays connected this is really cazy.....
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== since I have been using Firefox

Hi Barbara!
I'm not 100% sure I understand your problem, so please post further information so I can help you better. But I'll give it a shot.
You have a PC (with Windows Vista?) with both the Mozilla Firefox (3.6.3?) and Google Chrome browsers installed, and when you play those games on Facebook, they freeze up, times out and you have to log in again, right?
Or do the browser shut down and maybe even restart, thus making you have to log in again?
As much and as precise info you can provide will make it easier to understand the problem you have, and help me help you solve it. :)
It can be a problem with the applications running those games on Facebook - most likely Adobe Flash, but could also be Sun Java or maybe even Apple Quicktime.
We have some articles providing help with these:
For information and testing your Flash installation, we have the support article [[Managing the Flash plugin]].
For testing that Javascript is working correctly, you can find test links and info in this article: [[Using the Java plugin with Firefox]].
For information, test and fixing of QuickTime see [[Using the QuickTime plugin with Firefox]].
Service information: You can always test your plugins via the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Mozilla Plugin Check page] to stay on the safe side. But use the 3 above articles to test each component.
If the problem happens in both browsers, it is likely that it is caused by another program running on your computer - it could be a security program interfering with the browsers, or some kind of malware.
This article may help you with the latter: [[Is my Firefox problem a result of malware]]; for security programs we have separate KB articles for each provider (AVG, Norton, McAfee, Kaspersky, F.Secure, Trend Micro, Comodo), search on the name of yours in the yellow "Search Firefox Help" box on the right side of this page.
Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help more users with similar problems.

Why is my connection timing out, why is my connection timing out

Unable to check for available downloads. The network connection timed out.

I downloaded iTunes 10.1.2 last week, and attempted to upgrade some music to iTunes Plus. I'm showing 35 items in my download queue, but when I attempt to download I get a message "Unable to check for available downloads. Network connection timed out."
I e-mailed Apple Tech Support multiple times, and received their standard list of links for things to try. So far I have reinstalled iTunes, turned off my Norton Firewall, checked the program rules settings, flushed the dns cache, and unchecked the "allow simultaneous downloads" box. Still no luck.
Apple's last e-mail requested I send them my account info so they could reset my password, and check my system. I'm still waiting for that to happen.
I'd appreciate any user suggestions for this problem.

Fundamentally it is an apple itunes server issue - if you have a lot of downloads the "check for downloads" request can take longer than the default windows internet connection timeout setting - which is 30 seconds on more recent versions of windows.
You can work around it though - without requiring apple to "segment" your download list, by adding a windows registry setting.
Apple re-enabled my downloads after I was burgled and then I was stuck - my "check for downloads" was always timing out - and the support guy had no clue - so I went digging, and found a a microsoft article here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/181050 which tells you how to change change that default timout value by adding a registry setting. Besides adding the ReceiveTimeout setting detailed on that page - I also changed the KeepAliveTimeout - just in case.
HKEYCURRENTUSER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ReceiveTimeout
which I set to 180000 milliseconds (3 mins)
HKEYCURRENTUSER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\KeepAliveTimeout
which I set to 181000 milliseconds (3 mins and 1 second)
Use regedit to make the change - both settings are DWORDS with decimal values. You'll need to restart your PC to apply the change.
After the change and restart and one initial failed attempt the request for downloads worked - when the apple itunes server responded after 2 minutes !!

Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the internet by ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well.

Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the Internet by Ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no Internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well. Could the other wireless laptops being used in my flat be affecting my connection. what can I do to get connected, keep connected. Thanks for any ideas out there.

My network connected for a few hours then went back to timing out. I have not changed anything. However there four additional laptop users in my family who do not seem to be having any problems using their wireless connection. Could their film and music downloads be causing the timing out of my connection and if so is there a way I could prioritizes my computer or limit their use?

Timed out timed out

Even when I'm composing my e mail it goes to timed out why? Come on Verizon are you that hard up for internet space? That's all I see now is timed out messages and don't get to use the time I need to write my e mails. I know what you think that there's so many people on line and that's what chokes it up but YOU VERIZON ADVERTISE that YOU'RE FAST AND HAVE THE LARGEST INTERNET IN THE US AND STILL CAN'T HANDLE THE LOAD . HA GO BACK TO THE SIMPLE SIDE AND KEEP IT THAT WAY, WHY CHANGE SOMETHING THAT WORKS AND MAKE SOMETHING HARDER AND WORST. FIRE THE PEOPLE WHO DESIGNED THIS NEW PAGE AND GET REAL AMERICAN S TO ANSWER THE SERVICE CALLS

Hi,
like the attached VI shows I tried to "clean" the data file using the match pattern and then save the modified data into another text file. I tried furthermore to set up a graph to show the modified data with time information [step in every 20 ms].
It somehow doesn't work for me but don't see why. Can you please advise what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks,
Krivan
