I am getting a timeout when attempting to upload os5.0.1.  (3 attempts) including with av and firewall disabled.  1mbdsl.  3hr  download time.

Thrree different times I attempted to download the new OS to my wife's iPad.  each time it would proceed to a point somewhere around 80 minutes remaining (started with 3+ hours remaining and downloaded about 4mb per minute).  I have a 1mbDSL line that routinely tests out at around .85mb per min.  I have tried all the "fixes" I found on the site including isolating allother USB interfaced hardware, rebooting both machines (PC and iPad), shutting off AV and firewall and still it fails at about the same point - giving error 3259.
An attempt to find other info or any way to comminicate directly with Apple re this was not successful.
Any ideas?
My next idea is to take the entire PC to my son's where there is a faster internet connection but that is a lot of trouble and you shouldn;t have to do that.  with other large file updates I have done on other software, if it fails or times out you are able to resume where it left off and eventually get it done. 

An alternative is to try downloading the update via a browser : https://discussions.apple.com/message/16703914#16703914
You could also do that via, for example, a friend's computer and then copy it to your own computer for the actual update.

    The instalation process runs smoothly without any error message and iTunes has been installed in my computer before. The problem started with the update no. 12. Any idea what's going on? Thank you

    if itunes will not run, you probably have mangled windows badly
    one feature of windows 8 is the refresh that saves libraries,
    because you are using windows 7, you will need to backup all files to another storage device

    Do you mean trying to purchase an iPhoto book?  Try rebooting and ordering again.  If that fails Boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and try ordering from there.

    Hey terremo,
    Thanks for the question. From the information you provided, it sounds like the iMac is successfully turning on, however video is not displayed. These symptoms can usually be isolated further by the troubleshooting steps in this article:

  • My ipad is on an infinite loop.  I used ios7 for a few days and then did updates on some of my apps. that's when the infinite loop started.  I have tried pressing the power and home button at the same time, but it doesn't work. Please help!

    my ipad is on an infinite loop.  I used ios7 for a few days and then did updates on some of my apps. that's when the infinite loop started.  I have tried pressing the power and home button at the same time, but it doesn't work. Please help!
    I even tried some hints posted for ios6 (turn off Ipad, holding home button and plugging in power cord at the same time and then releasing the home button)
    I did manage to get a different screen that shows the itunes icon and a power cord, but nothing happens.

    You were on the right track. You got the connect to iTunes screen and you ended to use iTujes to restore your iPad. Try recovery mode again.
    Recovery Mode Instructions
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

  • I have an iPhone 3gs and will be getting a new iPhone 4s. Once I have updated my existing 3gs with iCloud and backed up to my computer, will I be able to transfer my existing data to my new 4s using iCloud or will I need to do this from my iMac.

    Thanks

    The Apple genius at the Apple store told me this would work. It failed. Basically, updating your iPhone 3GS to iOS5 wipes your 3GS of its data so you can't really do this. Some data worked. Music, photos etc didn't work at all.
    I suggest avoiding iCloud completely for a few weeks until Apple gets it working.

  • I have an iPod touch and also have the iHome.... When I first hooked it up it played music fine.....but now when I hook it up it says accessory unavailable for iPod touch and I've resetted it 2 times but still no music comes thru the iHome speakers

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..
    If your iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost.

  • HT202873 I just purchased GB10 last week and I repeatedly keep getting the following message, "Garageband was not able to install the new sounds. Close and re-open Garageband to download and install them again."  I have tried EVERY suggestion!

    I just purchased GarageBand 10.0.3 last week and I repeatedly keep getting the following message when I try to download ANY of the FREE Piano lessons in the "Lesson Store", "Garageband was not able to install the new sounds. Close and re-open Garageband to download and install them again."  I have tried EVERY suggestion that I have come across on the internet and nothing is working!  If I'd known I would encounter this issue, I would not have paid for this.  Tried restarting, rebooting, reinstalling, deleting the cache, and on the verge of just reinstalling the OS.  I have come across people have the same issue for months and I can't believe Apple has not offered a fix or update or anything. 

    Immargarita,  Since you just purchased the software you qualify for a no charge one on one at an Apple store.  They never could tell me what was wrong, but after three visits and not one dime, all lessons downloaded at the store.  I was not going home until it worked.
    Hint, hint, I had just upgraded OX when the problem started.   So... I qualified for tech support.  I forgot to get my none working since the up grade Photoshop fixed.  Some Java component can't be found and just like GB, the link to Apple for support does not work.  I have the good old PS disc.  I'm not happy with this cloud stuff.
    When you call and give the SN for your computer, they may say it will cost $29.00 dollars for one time support.  Instead choose a different prompt, tell the human being what your problem is and set up a visit to the Apple store.   BTW, no one at the store seemed to have heard of this issue.
    The techie just started the download and ran the activity monitor.  The download stopped once.  Then he continued it and everything is there now.
    Shame on you Apple.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can someone tell me how many seconds the cross fade is when running your nano in that mode? I teach spin class and want to know how much time I'm losing in that mode.

    can someone tell me how many seconds the cross fade is when running your Ipod 6th Gen nano in that mode? I teach spin class and want to know how much time I'm losing in that mode.

    You aren't losing any time in that mode, but I believe it is a 10 second fade out/fade in.

  • I'm getting a Timeout when trying to access Simple Web Repository "/www"

    Hi there,
    I am sitting in front of a EP6 and when I am trying to add a new Data Source to my (TREX-)Index, the system gets me a timeout after about 70 seconds
    What I've done exactly: Add new Data Source -> Click on folder "www" -> wait -> Timeout].
    There are 64 Web addresses, I can see the folder contents when I open the "www"-Folder via WebDAV.
    About one hour ago the cache settings for "ca_websimple" were default... means:
    Cache Size (Max Cache Size) = 1 MB
    Cache Capacity (Capacity) = 200
    (this is the default setting for 1-5 web addresses - cf http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ba/fa7d404d84cf62e10000000a155106/frameset.htm)
    I've now changed this settings to 25 MB and Capacity of 5000, but still the same.
    What can I do?
    Thanks in advance!
    BR,
    Markus Taxacher

    No, no... when I try to add a new Data Source to my Search Index, i muss select the data source via the KM Browser. Browsing to the www-Directory using the KM-Browser causes the Timeout (Reason: Unknown, give me the reason and we have the solution - I think)
    Browsing to this directory using the WebDAV functionality everything works (slowly, but works).
    Maybe 64 addresses are too much web addresses....?
    (But it worked before - not my portal installation, I'm just a holiday replacement)

  • Constantly getting connection timeouts when loading websites, have to keep retrying to get pages to load.

    Hello,
    Had this problem for a few days now. Sometimes pages will load quickly and fine. But other times they will take a while and then just display a connection timeout error message. After trying a few times to load page again it will work. As you can understand this is very frustrating.
    Any ideas what is happening and how to solve it?
    Many Thanks,
