    I am trying to install the new OS on my new iPad 2, but it keeps saying "Network Connection Timed Out".  I had no problems updating my iPhone through the same computer system though.  Any ideas?

    Download the iOS update manually and install;

    After you have downloaded the update, attach your iPad to your computer, open iTunes and select your iPad in the devices list. Press & hold the Option/Alt key and click the Check for Update button. Browse to where you downloaded the update and Choose it. iTunes will handle the rest.

  • My computer keeps saying "network connection has timed out" while trying to update what do i do, my computer keeps saying "network connection has timed out" while trying to update what do i do

    my computer keeps saying "network connection timed out" when my update to IOS5 is almost finished. Do I need to do something else? can you give me the steps of how to update

    If you also disabled the firewall. try the Manual Install in the following:

  • Cannot update and download ios 5 to iphone 4 or ipad...everytime i try i get half way through a 2 hour download for it to say "network connection timed out" what do i do to download

    cannot update and download ios 5 to iphone 4 or ipad...everytime i try i get half way through a 2 hour download for it to say "network connection timed out" what do i do to download

    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.

  • I am trying to log onto a Mac Mini I haven't used in awhile and I forgot the password. I am trying to reset the password with my apple ID but the computer keeps saying the Apple ID and the password are incorrect whenever I know they are.

    I am trying to log onto a Mac Mini I haven't used in awhile and I forgot the password. I am trying to reset the password with my apple ID but the computer keeps saying the Apple ID and the password are incorrect whenever I know they are, as I am using the exact same ID right now.
    I have switched my password in the past, so my theory is my mac mini thinks that my password has not changed and it will not update because The Wi-Fi password has also changed so it cannot connect to any servers...Does that sound like I am on the right track?
    Is there a way to update my Wi-Fi password  (saved into the computer) without logging on?

    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.

  • While trying to update iphone softwear in itunes, why do i get the error the netowork connection timed out

    while trying to update iphone softwear in itunes, why do I keep getting the message that the network connection timed out?

    - Then try on another computer

  • When trying to create connection using Contribute 6.5, get error message "Unknown error.  Please see the log for detail."  The log says "Network connection timed out."  What do I do now?

    Have been using Contribute 6.5, and earlier versions, for years with Hostway without any problems.  All of a sudden I cannot create a connection to our website.  Tried to chat with Adobe a twice now and got no help.  Yesterday they started a chat with me, then ended the session without any communication!  My problem has been going on for several weeks now.  I uninstalled Contribute, downloaded and installed again, but it did not help.  Hostway had me connect with Zilla and everything worked fine.  So, they say the problem is with Adobe.    The last attempt ended with "Unknown error. Please see the log for detail."  The log says "Network operation timed out."  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi There,
    Can you please try using any other Internet connection outside your company's network and see if it is working? Alternatively, Can you please try the below settings from the Advanced... Menu while creating the connection using FTP details and try to create the connection again:

  • New iPad . Cannot load ios5.0 says network connection timed out.trying to sync with a pc

    Just got a new IPad2. First time Apple user.  Need to upgrade to ios5 but get an error message saying network timed out.  Tried removing firewalls on my pc and disconnecting my anti virus.  Did not help.  Any suggestions?

    Download iOS 5.0.1! apple servers will not allow you to install iOS 5 as there is already a later version available.
    If your itunes is acting up, download the iOS from another site then hold shift button and click RESTORE button in iTunes and select the iOS 5.0.1 ipsw file you just downloaded and voila!!

  • "network connection timed out"-can't update upgrade on ipod

    Last year an ipod touch 8GB was given to me and I am just now updating everything. When I plug my ipod into my computer and open itunes, it prompts me to download and install 3.1.3 upgrade. So I hit "download and install" and right after it gets done downloading (takes 7 min), an error message pops up and says "network connection timed out"- could not install the upgrade, try again later. I have paid the 5 bucks for the upgrade and tried it about 10 times now with the same results everytime.
    I have tried turning off my router and restarting that and also reset my network connections on the actual ipod itself with re-typing in my network name and password for the wifi. My wireless connection is strong and never goes out on me, as well as my ipod always recognizes it and connects automatically so I'm not sure why I keep getting this error message!
    HELP!!! thx

    I ran into the issue this week. said yes to upgrade, ipod was backed up, and then upgrade died. ipod touch itself indicated it was no longer aware. power down did not help, itunes could not restore to previous. Looking on apple site, I was getting a code 14 error. solution was to update itunes to 9.03, restart system and then retry the download. it worked after that, and the backup did restore all my info including kindle books etc.

    Are you on dial up? No way should an ipod update take 3+ hours to download on broadband!
