Help!! "timed out network connection" at the end of the iOS5 update for my 1st generation Ipad.
I have been attempting to update my first generation Ipad to iOS5 for two days. I continue to get the message "network connection timed out" The updates have been for 3 hours, 4 hours, 30 minutes, 20 minutes and now 10 hours. They all download and at the end when the file starts processing the timed out message pops up. I have disabled virus software, did not work. I have used the internet at both home and office, hard wired internet, wireless internet.........nothing works. Deleted temporary internet files. Very frustrated. What am I doing wrong?
When you get anything that says your network connection timed out it either means you lost internet connection or there is something blocking the connection between the computer and the servers that it is trying to connect to.
If you have a solid internet connection and can browse to websites fine it's either an anti-virus program or a firewall on the computer OR a firewall in the router's settings that you use to connect to the internet.
Reconfigure any security software to allow Apple's servers to pass.
Useful information for configuring your security software:
IMPORTANT: iTunes must be allowed to contact Apple using the following ports and servers:
▪ port 80
▪ port 443
▪ phobos.apple.com, deimos3.apple.com, albert.apple.com, gs.apple.com, itunes.apple.com, ax.itunes.apple.com, ax.init.itunes.apple.com, ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net
iTunes uses well known ports and these ports may need to be opened for iTunes: 80, 443, 3689, 5297, 5298, 5353, 8000-8999, and 42000-42999.
iTunes also contacts VeriSign servers during an iPhone restore and activation:
▪ evintl-ocsp.verisign.com
▪ evsecure-ocsp.verisign.com
For more information see Update and restore alert messages on iPhone and iPod touch
Temporarily disable or uninstall your security software
If the current available version of your security software is incompatible with iTunes, you can disable the security software and test if it is the source of the issue. It might also be necessary to temporarily uninstall security software after making sure you can reinstall it and note any required licenses. A temporary deinstallation might be required because parts of some security software remain active in the background though they appear to be deactivated.
To reduce any security risks that security software is designed to prevent, consider making sure all files needed to reinstall it are available and disconnect network connections before uninstalling security software. Should this not be possible, such as if a download without active security software is required, that required step should be the only process completed without security software. For assistance in checking your configuration, disabling, or uninstalling your security software, please contact the manufacturer.
Once disabled or uninstalled, perform only the steps required to verify your issue has been resolved. Complete whatever update, restore, syncing, back up, activation, or other task you were troubleshooting. Once that task is complete, install and configure compatible security software to ensure your PC is protected.
If it isn't a program or software on the computer contact your Internet Service Provider and/or Router Company to configure or disable the firewall in the router settings.
To isolate the issue to this you can also try disconnecting the router and plugging your computer directly in to the modem but this does not help for troubleshooting time-out issues directly on any apple mobile devices only if you are syncing or going through iTunes on the computer.

Try temporarily disabling your firewall and see if you are then able to access the iTunes store.

i have just downloaded the latest update for Pages on my iPad and now it can no longer open up documents in iCloud and then just shuts down. What The.
Before the reset quit Pages like this:
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. -

I need help with getting an update for my 1st generation ipod shuffle.
I am trying to install iTunes and iPod software on my computer but the iPod cd is apparently not compatible with my version of windows. I need to download an update but I cannot get any support because my 1st generation iPod shuffle is not one of the selections available for support. Does anyone know how I can download the update I need?
Neil, I installed itunes but that hasn't helped the issue I am having with my 1st generation iPod. I have searched and searched but there is nothing that allows me to update my iPod, download to my iPod, all I see is iPhone or iPad, neither of which I happen to own, so I am still at square one with my problem. I can't get any Apple support because my iPod is not one of the choices, no mention of the 1st generation. It's as if it no longer exists and there is no support available. I tried plugging it into my usb port, hoping that something would pop up on the screen and give me guidance, but alas, that failed as well. I feel like this whole thing is an exercise in futility. Thanks for your attempt to assist me.

What will happen to the maps app of my 1st generation iPad once iOS 6 is released?
My iPad won't be able to upgrade to iOS 6. Will the maps app still get data from Google? Will it be a dead link on my home screen? Or will Apple delete it?
The Google Maps app is baked into iOS 5, therefore it will stay on your iPad. If you were to buy or upgrade a product with iOS 6 you wouldn't see Google Maps.

Since the iOS5 update iTunes sees iPhone as iPad
In the left-hand column, iTunes lists my phone as my iPad. It correctly identifies the iPad as the iPad when it's plugged in. In the white area/synching area, everything is fine--the iPad is the iPad and the phone is the phone. So far, I haven't noticed any changes on the phone and I hope it's just a small matter of some misplaced code. Anyone else have any problems I might be able to circumvent?

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?

There was a problem downloading the software for the iphone.The network connection timed out. Make sure the network settings are correct
I just had the same problem updating my iPhone 4. I found out by turning my Kaspersky virus protection OFF, then everything worked out, and I was able to update my phone.
Virus protection programs can cause alot of problems sometime, so it's worth a try if you haven't already tried. -
have a iphone 4. i have downloaded the latest version of itunes to update the ios. I am having problems with the back up and sync and also the update. the update error message is coming up saying it cannot connect to the iphone update server. I am useing a windows 7 32 bit laptop. I have also reset my phone to factory settings. Would taking it to one of the stores and they would do it for me??
any help will be great thank youAll I can tell you is that I am having the exact same problem with an iPod Touch and that I was running iTunes 9.2.1.5 at the time it happened. Upgraded to 10.0.0.68 hoping that it might help, but no joy.
I don't want to do a restore just now since the Touch seems to be working fine. Restore will have to wait until I have plenty of free time in case something goes wrong. -
