I just downloaded itunes to this computer. I went and tried to sign in with itunes store and it gave a message saying that the connection had timed out. It said to check my network connectivity and retry. I have done all I can think of need some help please.

Have you allowed itunes in your security software firewall?

Apple ID keeps timing out while trying to sign in after updating to iOS5

I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS5 and now while trying to sign in using my apple ID (on the phone) I keep getting an error message saying "Could Not Sign In : The request timed out."

Same thing is happening here, I can't get past the startup wizard, I had to skip the step - I don't know whether that will screw up my setup or not.

Itunes wont connect to itunes store-times out

I can use my itunes to listen to music just fine, it just wont let me access itunes store. The message I get is: itunes could not connect to the itunes store. The network connection has timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connects are active then try again... I have no idea why it quit working but it did! please help me!!!

There are three possible reasons that you would get a
connection timeout trying to connect:
1. The iTunes Store is really, really busy right
then. Try again later. If this happens all the time
(even times that should be calm, like late at night),
then this probably isn't the case.
2. There's software on your computer that is
interrupting iTunes' ability to connect to the iTunes
Store. You can check for software conflicts by
following the steps in this
article.
3. There's something up with your ISP that is
preventing you from connecting to the iTunes Store.
The best way to check for this is to try to connect
using a different internet connection. (Like, if you
have a laptop, using a public wireless access point.)
So the first two options didnt resolve it, what do you mean try opening with another? I have a laptop-so what should i do now?

Ichat times out when trying to sign in

I am in Europe for the year and haven't been able to get my ichat to sign on in my new apartment. I am not good with computers and do not know where to begin with trouble shooting this problem. I have done a lot of reading on sign in problems, but I don't know enough about my internet/computer configuration to make changes. iChat does work when I try to sign on at a different location (university), so I don't think the problem is with the program itself.
This is what I know:
I am using built-in Ethernet TCP/IP that I have configured manually. Other than iChat (or my apple mail which also times out before succesfully signing in), my internet works without problems. Following iChat help, I tried to ports on my firewall, but the firewall wasn't activated.
Any help you can give me is most appreciated. This is really driving me crazy.
Thanks!

Hi!
Thank you so much for your help! Changing the port on iChat did the trick. Perhaps that is the problem that is happening with my mail as well. You don't happen to have another suggestion about which port I should use to correct that problem, do you? Thanks again for the help, it is much appreciated!
Best!

ITunes Connect times out when trying to deploy an iOS app

Ive been trying for the past hour to submit an app via xCode and as it trys to log into iTunes Connect I get a time out error. Is anyone else realizing this issue? Does anyone know whats happening and when we can expect it to be back up?

Probably a temporary outage on the backend. Try again and it will probably work.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

ITune Store times out

I have three computers in the house, and all currently time out on connecting to the iTunes store (for the last 30 mins or so).
I have downloaded some songs earlier this afternoon, but now cannot connect.
I have reset the router and flushed the DNS but still no computer can connect?
Any ideas
All computers running XP MCE or XP Home, with all updates installed and with latest iTunes.

Down again tonight. And, can anyone lead me on what to search for the old thread? I have done so, but unsuccesfully.
Could anyone write a simple program that one of us can use to see what times Tiscali drop the connection? It could be between certain times, and get a few of us running it?
Could it be something to do with the Tiscali FUP? I shall try and search for this A.S.A.P. I shall also be loking around ISPs soon. However, is this only a problem with Tiscali/Pipex/123-reg (owned by Pipex). Can anyone with OrangeBt Broadband/be*/etc. confirm about iTunes sore access?
Is this something I need to take up with Apple, or will I need to talk to someone at Tiscali (joy ;-)). Anyone got any tips on what to say, how to word when I ring up? Obviously Tiscali can just say that this is Apple's problem (which I am sure it isn't, as millions of iTunes users would have complained by now). Any idea for proof?

Hello,
As far as I can see, that Verizon Jet Pack wireless Modem uses WPA2 to connect.
The Router might complicate things right now.

I am getting an error message that my network connection has timed out. while trying to update my iPhone on iTunes. Has anyone found a solution? I was given some advice about turning off my firewall and/or virus protection but am nervous about doing that.

I get a message that my network connection has timed out while trying to update my iPhone on iTunes. Has anyone else had that problem and if so what solutions have you found? I was told to turn off my firewall and/or virus protection while updating but am nervous about doing that for obvious reasons. I'm also disgusted with Apple not providing free tech support.

HT4972 iTunes times out when trying to download iOS 5.1

iTunes times out when trying to download iOS 5.1 - can anyone help? Can I download via a browser and then install that way?
Looking here http://osxdaily.com/2012/03/07/ios-5-1-download/ - I can download an ipsw file - how would I get that to install on my iPhone4?
Help!
Cheers
P.S. My iPhone4 is on Orange UK - is this a GSM one? or CDMA???

Hi,
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Now restart your iPad. Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If that didn't help, you need to post in the iPad forum here.

2 questions, what do i do when a audio book i purchased is not in purchased menu for re downloading for my account, or why cant i re download the book from iTunes store with out paying for it after support they told me i could.

what do i do when a audio book i purchased is not in purchased menu for re downloading for my account, or why cant i re download the book from iTunes store with out paying for it after support they told me i could.
i tried to re download a purchased audio book after i contacted apple support team for iTunes they said it would be ready for re download or they said id have to re download it from iTunes store i cant remember, so i tried both couldn't re download it from purchased menu and the book id have to re download from iTunes store costs money as if i have never purchased what do i do? I don't have any warranty any more or money to purchase another warranty.

Thank you for your prompt reply. I have bought 1 MacbookPor 17, 1 Macbook air, 1 MacbookPro 15 , 2 ipads, 3 iphones, and this iMac27 and 2 of iMAC24 or 20 not sure   but I do not recall ever doing what you are telling me in your reply.   When you get a extended car warranty, you don't   sign up for it.. it is just there and is included in the sale.   You don't buy this warranty to use it.. You buy it, in case something happens.   Here a perfect iMAC with minimum 100 hour useage has a dead drive. That is not normal and I should not have to even be requesting anything since most MFG offer a 3-5 year warranty on their disc drives and I believe that is probably passed on to Apple regardless if an extended warranty is purchased or not.   Customer service dictates a more flexible approach to make sure the lifetime value of a customer is not lost due to some misunderstanding.
I was in the MacStore that I purchased the unit..and they found and pulled the invoice and confirmed
the purchase of it in front of me. I had paid with credit card and fortunately it was there in their system.   I do not also recall recieving any box or paper although most everything I ever get remains sealed.. I am not in the habit of opening anything since I have never encountered any serious issues before.
   I have used my Macbookpro warranty 1 time and that is all throughout the years I have been investing in Apple equipment.
I just recieved a letter from the store asking me to get the paper to them so they can register it... I don't recall getting any paper actually. But I do have several boxes sealed here.. On this iMAC27, it was a hurry up and get it done thing and I don't remember taking anything extra with it.   Regardless, my request does not seem unreasonable.
Thank you

Is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress itunes doesn't recognize the feed. my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/me

is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress itunes doesn't recognize the feed.
my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/methods):
garageband : create & edit audio. add 1400x1400 image.
share to itunes.
drag file to desktop.
upload .m4a file to google drive.
create a link post in wordpress using "podcast" tag & create "podcast" category.
click on "entries rss" in wordpress, which takes me to the rss subscribe page (which is basically just my wordpress address with "/feed" at the end.
i copy this url.
go to itunes store > then "submit a podcast"
itunes gives me the error message "we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed."
when i try to subscribe to my podcast in itunes, it does, but gives me no episodes available.
i went back into wordpress and changed settings/ reading settings to : "full text" from "summary"
still the same error message.
i added a feedburner step after wordpress but got the same errors. i don't think i should have to add feedburner.
wordpress seems to be encapsulating the rss, what am i doing wrong?
this so much easier when you could go directly from garage band to iweb to mobileme; i miss those apple days (also idisk).

if anyone has a super EASY process, i would LOVE to know what it is. EASY, meaning no html and also free. there are many free online storage systems available, many of which i currently use. the above process was just me trying to figure it out, if you have an easier method, please share. thank you so much!
