Have you updated your iTunes? iOS7 requires at least iTunes 11.

Try doing it on your computer with iTunes and then sync to your iPad to see if it clears the problem.

I have an Ipod Touch 4G, Although I have tried two connection leads to the computer, it comes up with the message ' Itunes could not connect to "Dads Ipod" because an invalid response was received from the device'. I can access the contents of the device via the connection leads using 'My Computer' but not through Itunes as the message always appears!! Using WinVista Homebasic. Is this a known fault with the Ipod4 and VISTA? It works okay on a laptop, however, I would like an expert to take me through the steps to sort out my home desktop computer? Please help? Thanks in advance

I have tried to update the operating system on my ipad several times without success. Each time it reaches 353.2mb of 353.3mb and starts to process the file. Nothing happens and then I get a message saying the network connection has timed out. The network is still connected.
Have you tried temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software whilst the download is happening ? A number of people on here have had success downloading it after doing so.

How can I prevent "the connection has timed out" message.
Sorry, this is a duplicate. Can't determine how to delete. Mike.
Frequently takes a full minute to get to first page. Happens on IE as well as FF, also on my email client. After an hour or so, Thunderbird can no longer reach my email,with an error. To recover I have to reboot.
Occasionally "try again" button works on the "connection has timed out" message
Some tools which access the web take a long time to “update”,
is hard to recreate have not proven or disproven the firewall is a problem. Don't think WinXP firewall is on.
Tried refresh of Adobe Flash Player per suggestion in Firefox Support forum, no help.Hello there, FloridaAce.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some practical first steps for troubleshooting Wi-Fi connectivity issues with an iOS device:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
If going through the initial recommended steps doesn't yield a resolution to your issue, you may want to run through this section as well:
Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected
Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
Check for sources of potential interference.
Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

I can not dowload the new updated software for my Ipod touch 4G. When i do I get an error message that says Network connection has timed out. I have done the trouble shooting steps. Downloaded the latest version of Itunes, and checked network connection
Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

I've tried downloading iOS5 several times and after an hour each time I get a message that says my network connection has timed out. But I can't find any information about "timing out" or how to correct the situation. Any help?
Disable your antivirus and firewall, and try again.

This is the message i get after a few seconds of trying to connect:
The connection has timed out.
The server at search.bearshare.com is taking too long to respond.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.Is this when you install the EXE, or when you are running Firefox, or some other time?

When I try connecting to livejournal, it tries for a while, then I get an error page saying that the connection has timed out. What's odd is that usually livejournal gives us a warning when the site will be temporarily offline. When I try connecting to livejournal through Explorer, the same thing happens. I've been hitting the try again button for almost a full day. Again, livejournal doesn't normally go offline this long.
Nevermind, it's working again. Huh. I posted this, then tried livejournal again and it worked. I'm glad it is, but hey! *iz suspicous*

I get the message: "The connection has timed out" and can't get to my online banking
I get the message: "the connection has timed out" when accessing my online bankingsite. I never had this problem before loading Firefox. There are a few sites that give me this problem. I have cleared my cookies cache, cleared history cache, cleared my security offline storage,
Nothing works.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.collinscu.orgI went to Norton and they were trying to help me, even to the point of removing Norton. They figured it was a firewall problem and I agree. They were not able to help me, but I shut the computer down, unplugged the modem and router, waited about 10 minutes and then started plugging everything in. It all works fine. I think the error message was cached in the memory and it needed to be reset to erase it.
Hope this helps. -
i keep getting an error message that states

i just connected my ipod touch 4g to my laptop and there is an update 4.3.3 available i was downloading it and just as it finishes it says your network session has timed out what ca i do? HELP ASAP PLEASE!!!
Try a direct download:
iPod, iPhone and iPad Firmware Download
Manually install it by holding your "Option" key down when clicking on the "Restore" button in iTunes and select the firmware file you downloaded. -
Long time to load a first page, get "the connection has timed out" frequently.
Frequently takes a long time to get to first page. Even a "speed test" to check my DSL connection. Usually can get to "google.com" quickly but it did come up slow today (just a test for a simple page).
I have a wireless N router with it's own Firewall (which I didn't want) and I think I've turned it off. Symantec firewall, don't think WinXP firewall is on.
Tried refresh of Adobe Flash Player per suggestion in this forum, no help.
Would like to have a tool to see how long each step of getting to the web takes so I can see if there's a bottleneck.
Occasionally "try again" button works on the "connection has timed out" message.
My PC is 6 yr old. xp-home, lots of ram, HDD available. Run Symantec AV/MBAM frequently. Ran Housecall and Dr. Web- no problems.
Talked to my DSL provider and Symantec in depth. Similar lethargy when I get IE running but not as frequent as under FF. Measured my DSL speed - 5MB as promised.
When the lag occurs, Task Manager does not show FF taking a lot of processor time.
Have done the things suggested in FAQ to help with performance.
Also going to bleepingcomputer.com to see if there are suggestions there.
I'm hoping someone has experienced an analog to this and has a suggestion to diagnose and solve. Thanks - Mike.Here's your sign! This is my problem and its solution. Let me know if someone needs help to interpret.
If you frequently get "connection timed out", go to your ISP and get Manual DNS addresses. Then beat them till they put a real fix on their system.
Problem is in the DNS server service provided by my DSL provider, Bell South/AT&T. Result of a poor performing DNS is that one can't get thru to the selected site.
If you do a web search +dsl +"time out" you will see the history with Windstream. THEY finally issues a system-wide fix which, it appears, flattened the issue. Then add +AT&T to see that experience. I did not read it all thru, I'm wasted chasing this problem. I don't give AT&T ANY credit for customer service or heading off problems for their customers on this one.
AT&T support offers me:

How do I check and update my DNS settings, if my DNS settings are not "server assigned"?
When you visit a Web site, your browser sends the site's alphabetic domain name to a DNS server. The DNS server translates the domain into a numeric IP address, then responds to your computer with the Internet location of the Web site. Incorrect DNS settings on your computer can disrupt this information flow and cause your Internet browsing to slow down or fail.
If you have trouble browsing the Internet, check your DNS settings. You likely have your DNS settings as "server-assigned." This allows DNS information to be automatically sent to your computer, which may improve your browsing experience. However, you may need to have your DNS settings manually entered
Note: If you are using a router to connect to your Internet service, check with your manufacturer's web site for instructions on updating your DNS settings with the following information:
Primary DNS: 68.94.156.1
Secondary DNS: 68.94.157.1
1. Click the Start button and select Control Panel from the menu.
2. Select Network and Internet Connections.
3. Double-click the Network Connections icon at the lower right.
4. Under the LAN or High-Speed Internet section, right-click the Local Area Connection icon and select Properties.
5. From the "Components checked are used by this connection" list, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), then click the Properties button.
6. Read the current DNS setting on the lower half of the TCP/IP properties screen. If the radio button Obtain DNS server address automatically is selected, you do not need to update your DNS settings. Otherwise, please continue.
7. Input the new Preferred DNS server of 68.94.156.1 and the Alternate DNS server of 68.94.157.1.
8. Click OK.
9. Return to the Network Connections screen. If you have a DSL Connection icon in the Broadband section, proceed to next step otherwise you have completed updating your DNS settings.
10. Under the Broadband section, right-click the DSL Connection icon and select Properties.
11. Select the Networking tab.
12. From the "This connection uses the following items" list, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button.
13. Read the current DNS setting on the lower half of the TCP/IP properties screen. If the radio button Obtain DNS server address automatically is selected you do not need to up date your DNS settings. Otherwise, please continue.
14. Input the new Preferred DNS server of 68.94.156.1 and the Alternate DNS server of 68.94.157.1.
15. Click OK.
================================= end quote.
So it appears I can't put screen shots in here. Well I hope you get the gist.
In fact this is a bit hosed up.
It says if you user "automatic dns" you're OK, that's opposite of my experience.
I changed to the specified DNS addresses and things seem 99.9% fixed.
I also changed my Router (wireless) settings.
If there's a survey of my experience here I'll take it.

I have been trying to download ios5 using my windows compute Windows 7. I connected Ipad and opened Itunes etc. Three times I have sat there for up to an hour downloding the program and it gets to the end (100%) sometimes it even processses the file and then I get a message saying the connection has timed out and to try again. I am on a wireless connection and it is so frustrating. I have the latest version of itunes. Any suggestions?
Try temporarily disabling your firewall and anti-virus software then try the download again.
