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

TS3474 My computer states "make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active" when I try to download the latest updated of Itunes.

I am trying to sync my Ipod Nano (6th Generation). I am trying to sync my Nike+ workouts, when I click "automatically send workouts" and "apply". It freezes. I have to restart my computer. When I also try to make sure I have the latest Itues updates, I get a message "make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active". My main question is, I want to upload my Nike+ workouts. I have an account with Nike+, and have 3 workouts waiting to be uploaded it indicates.

The following document might be worth a try with that one:

I am having similar issues except that the store starts to load, then stops, then I only get iTunes Store in gray letters on a white screen. I can access playlist and the other stuff. Like flamesgirl, I contacted them and they just keep sending me links of stuff to try which I had already seen on the Apple website and nothing works. I posted the question on another forum I belong to and one responder said her husband was in an Apple store and asked about this problem as he was having the same issue. They said an update would be coming out soon as they were aware of the problem. Who knows.

When updating to iOS 5.0.1. get the err -3259, thus unable to install new iOS. The message I receive goes: "THE NETWORK CONNECTION TIMED OUT. MAKE SURE YOUR NETWORK SETTINGS ARE CORRECT AND YOUR NETWORK CONNECTION IS ACTIVE, OR TRY AGAIN LATER."

Does anyone know how to solve this tiresome problem, please!?? The update is downloaded upto 723.5MB, and is required upto 723,6MB, then the error message pops out! Tnx.

I have a quick wifi connection (Mac shows it as about 35 megabits) but I couldn't get the 5.0.1 OTA to work, I had to do it via cable to my computer's iTunes - and as I was already on iOS 5 it was only a small download, basically the same size as the OTA size.
As the original poster is talking about a 730 meg download then I assume that they are still on iOS 4.3.5 or below and can therefore only download via their computer's iTunes - you need to be on iOS 5+ before you get the OTA option.

When updating my devices, I get the following message: There was a problem downloading for the iPhone. the network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active or try again later

When updating each of my devices (iPhones and iPads) in iTunes, i always get the same error message
"there was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone "Mary's iPhone" The network connection timed out.
Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active or try again later

This is common and there are literally hundreds of posts about this exact error.
Temporarily disable any Anti-Virus and Firewall software on the computer.

HT1768 itunes could not connect to itunes store. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again.

Have you disabled any firewall and security/antivirus programs? This seems to have helped the vast majority of people who have posted the same problem in this forum.

Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later; Have been trying to fix for ages.

Hi Everyone, been struggling all day to restore my settings on my ipod, as my little brother has put a restriction password in place and made me not able to get into Safari, iTunes, Camera which I really need. I have tried everything, resetting my proxy settings, turning off the firewall, changing my network location, ran diagnostics. Everything seems fine on that, I post below my results. I also tried restoring from the device, but with the restrictions code in place I can not do so. And everytime I am dowloading the software update before the restore it comes up with 'Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later'. I have been using google for ages and am not sure what I have missed.
I am using Windows 7 with an Acer Notebook.

Hi Diesel vdub,
Did that and I tried again, download stops halfway through and comes up with same message I have already quoted. Wifi Signal is 5/5, network is working, just not letting me download via iTunes.

I am trying to update my iphone to the latest software version, but am getting a message saying 'make sure your network settings are correction and your connection is active'. i know my connection is active, so how can I fix this problem?

Hi there pamela123456,

Temporarily disable or turn off your Firewall and Anti-Virus software and try the download again.

When trying to install updates, I get this message:The operation couldn't be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1102.)(102). What does that mean?

It appears Apple’s download servers are ‘overwhelmed’ today. I couldn’t download the newest iTunes update or IOS 7 and there are a lot of discussions today about not being able to download. One poster said they had chatted with App Store support who confirmed the problem.
What updates? Here is a link for iTunes which worked for me.
iiTunes 11.1.0

HT4623 so I am updating my phone to the newest IOS and it has been doing it for hours. I have now plugged it into the computer and it says that it is in recover mode and I should restore it? What does that mean? Do I lose everything on my phone?

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

When trying to sync to upgrade I get a message "Ipad software upgrade server could not be contacted." Then next message "Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active or try ag

iPad, Windows Vista

Try rebooting your router and or cable modem. Unplug it/them for about 30 seconds and then plug back in. See if it works then.
Reboot your iPad as well.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
