IPod update timing out?!

For the last week since the iOS 4.2 update came out, I've tried downloading it with no success; the file does not process or verify, the network connection times out (Error code is -3259) when the file is totally completed, according to iTunes (missing a tenth of a megabyte, but there's no more time remaining indicator). Pausing and resuming causes the file to restart, and that's 600 more megabytes to my bandwidth quota for the month, for nothing.
I really don't mean to sound... well, snarky, but this is getting pretty frustrating to me. I know many of the features carried by the 4.2 update won't apply to me, as I'm on a Windows machine, but iTunes DOES remind me there's an update available every time I plug the iPod in, so I try again, almost every time. I must have wasted about 2-3 gigabytes already.
Well,

Turn off your Anti-Virus, Spy Ware, Ad Ware, whatever... Turn it all off...
If you have a Firewall turned on, turn it off...
Then update your iPod Touch

Update timing out

I am trying to update my 3G wwith the 3.1.3 update and now the second ocmputer I have tried has 'timed out' before it has downloaded. Can someone help? thx!

The single biggest cause of this is security software on your computer. So, disable any firewalls, anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-anything and try again.

Software updates, timing out, help ?

i just bought my macbook yesterday, and figured i would update my software, after trying, all failed except for iphoto and iDVD, i tried doing them seperatly, but they all timed out, saying there was no network connection. I tried updating certain software from the apple site, as opposed to the update menu, and the same occured. Does anyone have a suggestion to this problem ?
p.s this is my first mac, so most of this is new to me

would this slowness be due to my internet service as
a whole, or to my wireless router?
It could be either/both. Go here and test your speed. Are you getting a steady download?

Mac Updates timed out

When I attempt to download updates from the App Store, it fails and I get the following message "An error has occurred. The request timed out (-1001)". It has failed many times. I have a fairly high speed connection 12Mbp. How can I update my software? Thanks

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select
/var/log ▹ install.log
from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.

Select for update timing out

Hi there
when I do a simple select statement like
select * from table
I recieve all the records without a problem
when I add 'for update' like
select * from table for update
this seems to take a long time (I don't actually get a result)
Is there something I'm doing wrong or have I incorrectly set up my oracle server?

As you are saying that your normal query is running fine but if you are using query with for update of it takes more time than previous.
But it is normal behaviour of the oracle itself, when you use for update of, oracle put lock on selected row and then dont allow other users to access it unless and untill first user finish the desired task on selected row. It creates delay in response of your for update query.

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.

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 am unable to update my software version on my iPod touch. It gets to the very end and tells me that my session timed out. What should I do?

Every time I try and update my software version for my iPod touch from version 4.2.1 to version 4.3.5 I get within .5 MB (409.5 of 409.6MB) to the end and an error pops up telling me that my network connection has timed out so that the update could not be completed. I start the nursing program next week and need to download books onto my iPod, but it will not let me download the updated versions until my software is updated. I have tried restoring my iPod but when I restore it it says I have to download new software at the same time, therefore I can't even restore it. I just tried resetting my iPod and erasing all data as well as uninstalling iTunes and downloading it again and it still wont work. What do I do? I need to update it so it is ready for school in a week. Any advice? I have tried calling but as I understand I would have to pay for anyone to help me and I really don't want to do that until I have to.

Hi Jen. My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse. Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too. Now to the problem at hand. I have the same problem. I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade. Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade. But I'm sure other factors are involved. Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem: What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it. Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade. Hope this works. Charlie

When connecting my iPhone or iPod touch to my laptop to update software, the software downloads to my laptop but when it goes to install I get an error message that says network timed out. Any advice here please?

For the past 2-3 months everytime I connect my iPhone or iPod touch to my laptop to update the software through itunes I have issues. I have tried download and install option and the download only option. When the progress bar gets to 100 % downloading and switches to start to install I get an error message that says something like connection issue/timed out/network something. My internet is working so what am I doing wrong when I didn't used to have this problem?

I've been getting timed out for 2 days now, what finally worked for me was not plugging the phone into the computer and just doing the update through my wifi, worked perfectly, took less than 15 minutes

Temporarily disable/turn off your anti-virus and firewall software and try the download again.

"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.
