Everytime i attempt to update my iphone software i get told that my network timed out. Help!

I need to update my iphone software to the latest version but each time I attempt it the download goes through but i get a pop up message sayin networ timed out. Ive tried it ten times now.

FIRST, make sure you are using a USB port on your computer and not on a hub.
Disable your antivirus and firewall and try an 11th time. If you still have a problem and you have a Windows computer open a Command window that has Administrator privileges and type:
netsh winsock reset
Reboot and try a 12th time.

When I attempt to download update or purchases, I get message that the network timed out but I'm still connected to the internet. What does that mean?

When I attempt to download new updates or purchases to my ipod touch generation 3, it starts to download, then gives me the message that the network has timed out and I need to check the connection. I don't understand this because each time I have an active internet connection. Any idea why this is happening?

This is asked and answered very often on these forums. A forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
Disable your firewall/security software and try again.

When connecting my iPhone or iPod touch to my laptop to update software, the software downloads to my laptop but when it goes to install I get an error message that says network timed out. Any advice here please?

For the past 2-3 months everytime I connect my iPhone or iPod touch to my laptop to update the software through itunes I have issues. I have tried download and install option and the download only option. When the progress bar gets to 100 % downloading and switches to start to install I get an error message that says something like connection issue/timed out/network something. My internet is working so what am I doing wrong when I didn't used to have this problem?

I've been getting timed out for 2 days now, what finally worked for me was not plugging the phone into the computer and just doing the update through my wifi, worked perfectly, took less than 15 minutes

Attempting to update blackberry curve 8520 to version 5.0 bundle 1168 timing out

I am attempting to update my blackberry curve 8520 to version 5.0 bundle 1168. However when it attempts to install it reaches module 386 of 399 it gives a message that an error has occured while downloading software and to check the internet connection. There is nothing wrong with my internet connection. I have tried unistalling all the software ie desktop manager and reinstalling and it makes no difference? help.

Hi there,
Try manually downloading and installing the OS to your computer first. You can do this by searching for your carrier's name in the following link and then simply download the OS installer fir your device. Once you've done that, install the file to your computer and you can then perform the upgrade.
Here's the link:

I hope that helps!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

What does it mean when I am updating from Itunes and my computer tells me that the network timed out???

I am having a problem updating my IPHONE 4 in Itunes when downloading and updating. Can anyone help me

What exactly does the message say?

AppStore question for add 3 secret questions not working! After i fill all fields, rescue email and click Done i get message that Service has timed out. I can't buy or install any software. "It's just NOT works!" Why?

I'll tryed many times. I searched this form (for 3 secret questions) in iTunes and on apple.com. There are only one question form that already filled long time ago. What i gonna do and why this happends?

I have the same problem... I thought this only happened with MICROSOFT???
Have rebooted and attempted to download a New app... But can't get past the New "Security Questions"... Even though I've done everything Correct, and answered all prompts Correctly, Always get the ..."Service has Timed Out" response.
MAYBE Apple will address these MANY Problems with iOs6... As soon as they Realize we Can't BUY any apps ????
Unfortunately for me, I'm relatively New to the Apple world, and had Very Few apps already downloaded Before I Upgraded? To iOs6... Therefore my iPad2 is about as much use to me right now as a BOAT ANCHOR....
Does ANYBODY at Apple hear me ????????

If you can't restore it in recovery mode then you'll have to try DFU mode to restore it (see

TS1814 When I try to update my iphone software I get a message that if I use this computer all my apps will be lost. It says I should use the computer I sync my apps to for the update. But I AM using the computer I sync my apps to. Help

I'm waiting for the new phones to replace my ancient one. But I'm trying to upgrade the software. It gives me a message saying I need to use the computer I sync my apps to - if I use this computer I'll lose all my apps. but I AM using the computer I use to sync my apps. HELP!

Try right clicking your phone's name on the iTunes sidebar and click tranfer purchases (you need to have iTunes set for you to manually mange your media to do this, I think). Also be sure to create a backup just incase what I said earlier works and you being updating without one.

Hi Jen. My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse. Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too. Now to the problem at hand. I have the same problem. I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade. Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade. But I'm sure other factors are involved. Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem: What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it. Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade. Hope this works. Charlie

I am trying to update the iPhone 3GS to IOS5. At download i get an error - network timed out. Repeated tried several times. Is there an issue with the Apple Update Server or too much rush ? How do i update my phone using iTunes?

I am using iPhone 3GS. It is currently updated to IOS4.3. I am trying to update the OS to IOS5 on iTunes. It downloads the software, but it gives an error - network timed out. I have tried this multiple times. But, the end result is same.
Please help & advise as how I can upgrade the iPhone to IOS5.

Temporarily turn off or disable your firewall and anti-virus software and try the download again.

We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care...Your request Could Not Be Completed?"
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.
Apple has started to get "tough" with hacked iPhones, & simply won't permit their activation.
