IPhone iOS update times out.

I'm trying to download the updates for my iPhone and iPad2; however the connection is apparently too slow. When it times out, you lose everything and must start the download again from 0. Unlike other downloads like music, the updates will not stop and let you restart from where you left off. I'm on a US military base overseas, and the connection is somewhat slow, and erratic.
Is there a place I can go to download the update file that's trustworthy? Not using the iTunes interface, but just downloading the file and dropping it in the proper folder to update?

The most frequent cause of download timeouts is interference from your antivirus and spyware, which you probably don't have as you are using a Mac. However, the network you are connecting through may be have antivirus protection that is the cause the problem. There are other places to get the download, but they are not authorized by Apple, and there is a risk of gettng a corrupted file. There's also the problem of finding the right version; different iDevices have different installers, even for the same version of iOS.

IPhone 4 ios update times out when downloading in iTunes and won't update

I bought a new iPhone recently and sync'd it with my iTunes. Everything worked like a dream but for some reason, my iTunes has never successfully downloaded the latest ios updates and therefore haven't been able to update my iPhone4. I keep getting to the end of the download where I think it's going to process the update onto the device and instead I get an error message saying that my iTunes network connection has timed out?! Its definitely connected to the internet. Error 3259.
Does anyone else have the same problem and know the fix to this?

This question is asked and answered over and over and over and over and over.......
Use the search box at the top of the page and type in "connection timed out". You'll find the answer to your question.

Can you change the legth of time (or number of rings) it takes for on iphone 4 to time out making an outgonig call?

Can you change the legth of time (or number of rings) it takes for on iphone 4 to time out making an outgonig call?
Mostly it's to call in for radio contests. The Iphone is really good at making a quick call, but it seems to timeout after 15-20 rings. I realise this is a small thing, but free tickets is free tickets.
Most commenst I see is abotu incoling calls, not outging.
Thanks.

No. You can't do this with any phone.

Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes. At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.

Ios 5 update time out

Just bought a new Ipad 2 and am trying to update to IOS 5 but it continually times out before the complete 700+MB has downloaded.

Many thanks. The firewall/virus strategy didn't help, but going to the link you provided did. I downloaded the IOS5 via my browser and then did a restore on my ipad while holding down the shift key and directing Itunes to the downloaded file. Initially I tried to do it by hitting update - didn't work. I should have read the instructions more carefully.

Network update time out

I've been trying to update to iOS 5 but when I try to update I keep getting a message that the network connection times out. Any suggestions as to how I should update?
Thanks

Update your itunes to 10.5.2.11 , stop your antivirus/firewall during the update.
Try it now. If you will get the same problem, post.. Good luck.

IPhone 4 software times out everytime i download

ive recently downloaded the newer software version for itunes,so i could download the iphone 4 software for my 3g.everytime i download the software, it gets farther and farther every time and times out. other times it wont download at all. what should i do b/c i really want to update my phone.

completely disable your antivirus and firewall software. If you're using Kaspersky, it's especially bad for causing these kinds of problems.

Update time out -1001

hi im in australia and im trying to update my Osx. i get the sorry timeout error -1001 message everytime. can anybody help me?

I agree - 3G is just a bit slower in term of packet round-trip times. What is amazing that I have no issues whatsoever on Firefox even with the biggest files. I suspect that they have a higher time out setting for a server response.
My question would be: what timeout do I need to change? And how can I change it?
Thanks for your help!

Software Update times out

Hi,
I have OS X 10.8.2 installed on my Imac 20" mid 2007 with an intel core 2 duo 2 ghz, with 4GB of ram. For whatever reason when I click on the apple > software update, it opens the Mac App Store, and then automatically goes to the updates page, but from there nothing loads. It just spins for about 5 mins or so, and then times out on me. Any ideas to help remedy this would be awesome. If I need to give more info just let me know what you need to know and I'll be happy to provide this.
Thank you,

Downloading 2.2.1 update times out and error message

Trying to download 2.2.1 update. It says it will take 2 hours (about 220 MB). Then about 45 minutes into download it says session has timed out. Check network connection or try again later.
Anyone know how I can remedy this and complete download?
Thanks!
Charlie

Another question. When it says "try again later". Would the download be faster if I tried in the middle of the night when/if the apple site is not so busy? Or am I totally off the mark and that has nothing to do with the time issue?
Is 2 hours normal for the 220 mg 2.2.1 download? Is there a reason the connection times out after 45 minutes of a 2 hr. download? Is that the apple site doing the time out or my ISP?
Sorry for all the questions. There are apps I want to download that need the 2.2.1 and I am only at my buddies house with WiFi on the weekends.
Thanks,
Charlie

All Apple updates time out. But through a VPN, it's fine!

Something might be wrong with Verizon Fios in the NYC area. Since last night, any download from Apple times out. Also http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ reports a speed of less than 1Mbps. Connected to a VPN and everything worked normally. Verizon support guy said nothing was wrong, but someone please tell me why this is happening?
thanks

I've experienced the same problem here in Massachusetts. At first I thought it was an Apple problem, but then I tried downloading iOS 8 via cellular and found it to be orders of magnitude faster than my FIOS 75/75 network despite speedtest showing full speed capability!
I then tried downloading from Apple through my company's VPN on my home computer (same computer, same physical network as my FIOS setup) and was able to download iOS in about 8 minutes (about 7mb/sec) versus 11-12 kb/sec without the VPN.
This is outrageous for a supposedly high-speed network. Does anyone from Verizon monitor this forum? I'm reluctant to get involved with a level 1 support call on this, as it's clearly not a problem at my end.

My upgrade to IOS5 for iphone 4 continually times out with error message 3259. Any ideas on why?

My download of ios5 continually times out in itunes, quoting error message 3259. Any ideas why

THIS WAS COPIED FROM A THREAD THAT WORKED FOR ME SO I CAN'T TAKE THE CREDIT
Open notepad as administrator, and direct yourself to:
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc
open the "Hosts" file:
note the "127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com" portion near the bottom. your hosts may be different, and if so, then look for that part specifically. the problem for me, lied within the fact that just before the "127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com" part, there originally was no hash(#) with the space like the rest of the hosts file. This was all I had to fix. After editing and then SAVING the hosts file in notepad I restarted iTunes and the update went through without a hitch!
so if you do not see the hash and space before the "127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com" part, all you have to do is put the #, and then press tab! I hope this works for some of you guys! So just to be clear, that particular line in the file should look like:
# 127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com
good luck!

Ipod Software Updates Time Out

I have the 7.2 iTunes software and the 1.1.1 ipod version software. There is 1.1.3 to be updated and I have tried in vain to update but EVERY time I do the download times out and i'm unable to get it. I have dial up but I can download songs most of the time so what could be wrong?? I called Radio Shack service since I bought it there and their technical support group could only come up with resetting the ipod (which i've done) Anyone have any ideas?
