IPhone 4.0 update is "timing out" during download

I'm trying to perform a 4.0 software update on my 3G and it's getting about 75% through it and a message comes up saying "error- a time-out has occurred- check your network settings and try again." It has happened at least twice and I am getting frustrated. Can anyone help?

Sounds like you have a Windoze PC. If so, try temporarily disabling your antivirus, anti-adware, anti-spyware and any other anti-whatever that is required with that secure OS.

  • Can't download latest iPhone 4 software update, keeps timing out, why?

    I am trying to update iPhone 4 software.  It goes about 20 minutes then says the server timed out.  Any ideas on how to solve this?

    Single biggest cause of this is security software on your computer: Anti-Virus software, Firewalls, etc. Try turning off or completely disabling all of that stuff.

    Hi Robertfrom Denver.
    Did you try the solution given, and if yes, did it work?
    I have done several "attempted downloads, and see the full file download, typically taking 30 minutes to complete, and then something goes wrong.
    I am happy to suspend AV and FW software, but would like to know if it is a good fix or not first?

  • "Device timed out" during sync

    I'm running Windows XP SP2, iTunes 7.5, and iPod software 1.1.2 and I keep getting this error message when trying to sync my new Touch. It worked fine on my old 3rd Gen iPod. I have USB 2.0 also. Anyone else getting the "Device timed out" during the sync process?

    I'm still having problems, I can't even update to 1.1.3 because of this problem. Most of the time I don't get any songs on there before it times out but some times two or three songs will go on and it will time out. This is really a problem, I have to go to a new computer just to try and restore because this one gets an error.
    Friday I am going to the genius bar, I am hoping they can work it out.

  • IPhone update 5 timing out

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to update my iPhone, and everytime I download the update, it downloads completely, then tells me that the network connection has timed out.
    There's nothing wrong with my network connection. I'm having no issues with it in any other program.
    Any ideas?

    This is asked and answered very often.  the forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
    Disable your firewall/security software/virus protection and try again.

  • Network connection timed out during iPhone4 update to ios 7.1.2 in iTunes on mac mini

    I've tried several times to update my iPhone 4 to the iOS 7.1.2 update using iTunes on my Mac mini.  Each time, after about an hour or two, I get the message that the network connection has timed out.  I don't have any security software installed, so that can't be the issue.  I have the most recent version of iTunes, so that can't be it either.  I can't update directly on my phone, because I don't have enough space left.  Any suggestions as to why the network is timing out??
    Thanks for anyone's help in advance.

    simple hold the power button and the home button for 15 seconds and release the home to the iphone to turn on.
    them try to connect to the computer in the itunes and when ask to update you choose to only download not update , when finish update the iphone .
