HT201269 I am unable to connect iPhone to iTunes through my PC. I get msg "unable to connect device iPhone timed out"

iPhone times out before connection to iTunes via PC.

Hello Atn2
Check out the troubleshooting in the article below. You issue may stem from not being able to back up your iPhone before syncing can occur. Check out the article below to resolve issues with that error.

Thanks, this was the clue I needed to figure it out.
From Settings you can pull up Control Center.
In Control Center you can enable "Access from within Apps" (also "Access from Lockscreen")
Now when I'm playing music, I can swipe up from the bottom and a little control center window slides up. Neat - this is new since my old iPod. On this window, the name of the current Bluetooth connection appears. Tap on that, and a list of connected Bluetooth items appears. I just tap on the one I want to connect to and I am now playing through the speakers I want.

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:

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.

Do you have iTunes match? You need a computer to manage an iTunes match library.

Is your Mac running the current iTunes version?
If so, any change after restarting your Mac?

When installing Adobe Captivate I get msg: unable to set-up control panel

When installing Adobe Captivate I get msg: unable to set-up control panel..Does anyone know how to resolve?

Hi,
It seems that Captivate is not downloaded completely. Only one file is downloaded(i.e. .exe) , .7z file is missing. You can follow the below instructions to download Captivate 7 via direct links.
In order to download Adobe Captivate 7.0 Windows English, open the link mentioned below and sign in with your Adobe ID and password.
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=captivate
Once you sign In with your Adobe Id and password, you will be redirected to Adobe Captivate 7.0 download page, Do not click on download. Kindly stay on that page and paste the below two links on the Trail Page Address Bar one by one and save the files on your system at same location:
http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/CPTV/7/win32/Captivate_7_LS21.7z
http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/CPTV/7/win32/Captivate_7_LS21.exe
When both the files finish downloading, then run the second file (.exe) which will start extracting the first file (.7z) and will start installing Adobe Captivate 7.0 on your computer.

Mayank

I can't connect to the Itunes server..firewall is allowing it but no connection to the Itunes store. The sign in and password are correct

Why not do a "Restore" in iTunes to set it back to factory settings? That will eliminate any previous information that is causing you issues in use. You will have an iPod which you can sync as if it is new with your settings and info.
