I cannot do the initial first time sync of match, it tells me my network connection has timed out but is doing it on work and home networks as well different laptops (PC HP Laptop), any ideas at all guys!!!!

It gets as far as most of the initial step one but then showing awaiting a responce from Apple it stops saying that the connection has timed out.

I saw in one thread around here that some folks with a particular brand of firewall or anti-virus installed actually had to uninstall it to get it to work. Unfortunately I can't find the thread again. What brand of firewall and/or anti-virus are you running?
Ah ha! Just thought of it... NOD32. If you're got this software installed you may need to completely uninstall it.

Firefox won't load any websites but other browsers connect with no problem. error message: connection has timed out. deleting browsing history did not work.

I also tries removing firefox and reinstalling it - still did not work.
I checked - the firewall wasn't blocking firefox , so it's not that.
As far as I could find my antivirus (AVG) also was not causing the problem.
I'm at a complete loss - any ideas what has gone wrong?

Type '''about:preferences#advanced'''<Enter> in the address bar.
Under '''Advanced,''' Select '''Network.'''
Look for '''Configure How Firefox Connects''' and press the '''Settings''' button.
Check the settings.
Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see

So my iPad says it has an update but won't do it. And it also won't back up to iCloud. Any ideas for a solution ?

iPad will not upgrade or back up to iCloud ? Ideas ?

The iCloud backup problem could be your internet connection and I don't mean that your connection isn't working. There could just be an issue with the devices connecting to the iCloud servers through your network right now for some reason. You might just have to wait that out and see if you can backup in a few hours or so.
Are you devices updated to iOS 7.0.4?

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.

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.

This is asked and answered many time each day. The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
Disable your firewall/security software and try again.

When i attempt to log on to my college site i keep getting The connection has timed out. Is there a way of changing the time setting , to fix this?

This message "The connection has timed out" only happens when i attempt to log on to my blackboard account for college. All other log in' work fine.

Thanks. So there's no means of knowing whether a text message has been delivered, not to mention time of delivery. Perhaps I've gone for the wrong phone. It might do a lot but seems to miss out on some basics.

Cant download ios5. Using windows computer. Downloaded update 3 times gets to 100% and then says connection has timed out and I lose the lot. Any suggestions

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.

High number of "The connection has timed out" errors. Where do I set the time out period (variable and file name) - windows 7

I usually use a wireless network at home and have very few time out problems with Firefox.
I am travelling and using Optus Wireless broadband where the average ping to a site is 700+ms .
I suspect that this is the cause of the high number of timeouts I am experiencing.
Optus say there are no problems so I think I will have to set the timeout to a longer period.
Please advise what variable name/s (and in which file) the timeout is set for LOADING PAGES.
Thanks in anticipation.
Greg Atkinson.
By the way the same is happening in IE8
and on many sites other than the Yahoo one below.
================Full Error Page ==============
URL is http://au.mg4.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?.gx=1&.rand=81jkv757qfdqt
=========================================
The connection has timed out
The server at au.mg4.mail.yahoo.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.

Having the same problem 4 out of 5 times I try to navigate to a new site I get the error "connection has timed out".
My I phone works fine on the same wireless connection so it must be something to do with the computer. The problem occurs on IE, firefox, and google chrome.
I too would like to know how to how to either fix this problem or failing that to extend the length of time before the connection times out (which is currently only about 5 seconds).
Please help!
Thanks in advance

Is this when you install the EXE, or when you are running Firefox, or some other time?

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.

I cannot log in to Weight Watchers Website - message is the connection has timed out. This is the ONLY website this happens with.

I have spoken with Norton Antivirus and it is not a software issue with them. I have run a full scan for malware and viruses, have cleared history. If the "connection has timed out", is there a way to re-set the time limit before timing out?

I also have this problem.
It's not worked since this time last week, absolutely fine before that and i've been a member since June.
I emailed Weight Watchers Tech Support and they say that there is no problem with their website, told me to clear out my cookies (no instructions given for Firefox) and try again... still no luck.
I've emailed them again.
I am having trouble connecting to their IPod App too, not just at home but at work aswell.
Paying for this service and not getting it, making it very difficult to track and make recipes!
