Just got new ipod, plugged in sync'd ok but when I had to update new version onto ipod, managed to get 3 hours in then with 12 minutes to go it says "network connection timed out" and nothing else - can anyone help? Thanks

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

ITunes network connection timing out when downloading

*When I try to download the new software 3.0 for my IPhone 3G, ITunes 8.2.1.6 says the network connection timed out as soon as it is 99% complete.*
It happens every time.
In fact the last time it had downloaded 230.0 MB of 230.1 MB and then gave me the message.
*The STATUS field in the Itune download window says*
*"0 KB of 230.1 MB - stopped (err = -3259)" after the message is given.*
I tried completely uninstalling Itunes and Bonjor est. (all Apple software) and downloaded a new copy and installed it.
I tried turning off my fire wall completely.
None of my other internet accessing software is having any problems.
Please help!!!
Ive had old software on my phone for a long time and this is really aggravating me.

Network Connection Timed Out when downloading from...

I have only had BT broadband for a few months but am regretting it due to the huge number of dropouts I have - lose connection many times daily which is a big pain as I rely on this for my work.
One specific problem that has reared its head recently is if I try to download latest iphone upgrade from Itunes then after about 30 seconds it fails with "Network Connection Timed Out' and the connection breaks. This happens every time I try.
Also sometimes when I access sites I get TCP Network Error.
I know these problems are to do with the BTHub Router because if I switch to using my old Netgear Router which is still running on another line in the house (I need the backup as BT fails so often) then all works fine.
Can anybody help - or should I just throw it all away and try another provider?

You have any other anti virus (I have kaspersky) you need to disable that as well

I am using itunes 10.5. Update didnt work on last software but restore did work. Help

After two days of attempts, Google & Apple searches, one Apple post stated to turn off all firewalls and virus software and keep trying since there were 6 gazillion people trying to update. I have Windows 7 & Kaspersky and had to diable every single safety feature in Kaspersky as well as Firewalls and it finally allowed the download and update attempt.
Glancing at the forum, there appears to be numerous other problems with missing pictures, text problems etc after the IOS5 download but fortuneately, everything seems ok so far. Good luck, it is frustrating! Hattie47

Hey yeah I have the same problem!

Why does my network connection time out when downloading iphone 4 software update?

Why does my network connection time out when trying to download iphone4 software update?

I'm having the same problem too. I cannot sync or update over wireless or wired connections ever since I installed the most recent iTunes update. iTunes goes through the complete OS 5.0.1 download only to tell me the connection has timed out just when it seems ready to install. I've since reinstalled iTunes, I've ejected and done hard restarts on both my problem devices. I've disabled anti-virus, anti-malware, and firewall. No change in outcome except that, after doing all this, my final attempt to simply sync my 1st Gen iPad led to iTunes crashing and being automatically closed by windows just before finishing the final step. Is this a cruel joke, because I'm certain I can hear iTunes laughing at me for wasting so much time on this.

"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.

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 .

Network Connection Timed Out When Buying Something From iTunes

I've been on iTunes 10 for a while, not sure how long but before October I'm sure, and had no problems with it until last night. I tried to download an album and got the message "We Could Not Complete Your iTunes Store Request. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again."
I've downloaded a song while running this version (10.0.1) and had no problems before.
Ran diagnostics and it said Network interfaces verified, internet connection verified but secure link to itunes store failed.
I don't know what to try. I've made sure everything is up to date, restarted everything, I'm connected to the internet, my anti-virus software (AVG) isn't blocking iTunes and I've definitely got enough money for the album in my iTunes account. What should I try?
Thanks in advance,
Jodie.

I was having the same problem last night trying to rent a movie via my Apple TV. Connection continually timed out and I received the message that my ID and password were incorrect. I tried the same via my PC and was able to rent the movie but was unable to access my account. This morning I am able to access my account so I wonder if this glitch is fixed?
Anyone know?

Network connection timed out when upgrading to iTunes Plus

Seems I unknowingly fell into the same limbo as other users, after upgrading 214 songs to iTunes Plus, when trying to download them, I only get "network timed out" messages trying to download those "upgraded" songs.
Then I did my research to find out that it's affecting a lot of people.
It's not my network I can assure you, I flushed the DNS, I tried directly from modem to cpu (removed the router from the line) checked all my network settings and security's, checked all my system32/host files, checked my packet transmission settings, disabled firewalls, virus scanners, re-installed itunes.
So then I went another step to install Itunes 10.1 on my work cpu (different network) and my ex-wife's cpu (different network) and all had the same issue after I authorized their cpu's for my account use.
The 214 songs show up ready for download, but same message (networked timed out)
Seems to me that the Apple network is probably trying to send all the songs at the same time as a single packet, which of course is going to be too huge for anybody's network. (Since I'm hearing that people requesting for their que's to be reduced to smaller numbers 30-50 songs at a time and getting success I might have to do the same)
Is there any other thing I might be forgetting?
I guess if I dont get this resolved soon™, my only resolution will be to call visa and dispute the charges which I'd rather not. Im hoping for a more logical resolution.

This problem is related to having your computer, Apple device, etc
(from your current physical location) being unable to resolve/connect to
the following site/domain names and their related IP address(s).
The following table is presented to help explain/clarify this issue:
Site/Domain name | IP Address
phobos.apple.com | 17.250.237.43
deimos3.apple.com | 206.169.246.144
albert.apple.com | 17.149.240.64
gs.apple.com | 17.151.36.30
itunes.apple.com | 206.169.246.171
ax.itunes.apple.com | 206.169.246.139
If ANY of these sites/IP address are unresolvable (via PING for example)
then the ability/usability of Apple's iTunes (and the Store) will suffer.
To have yourself verify that (if) you can connect to these sites, you'll
need to open up a MSDOS/Command prompt window
and then type "ping" (without the quotes) and one of the (above) listed sites.
For example you would type the following at your command prompt:
ping phobos.apple.com (then press the return/enter key)
which (should) give you results like this:
pinging phobos.apple.com.akadns.net http://17.250.237.43 with 32 bytes of data:
Note: Anyt response other than "reply" (like Request timed out)
indicates a problem resolving the site's name to an IP address
and (generally) has NOTHING to do with your (normally functioning) computer
as this is dependent on the ISP (Internet Service Provider) that you are
using to connect to the Internet (like Sprint, Insightbb, etc) with.
The 'key' here is that it's the ISP's responsibility to (properly) resolve
the site's name to (one or more of) Apple's sites.
If (however) Apple (itself) is (currently) experiencing a DDOS attack
(Distributed Denial Of Service) upon one (or more) of it's sites, then THAT
would explain a possible cause of the problem.
However I stress THAT is NOT the problem since I can connect from my Insightbb
(ISP provider) at home but (currently) can not connect at work via their ISP.
This is (also) WHY the "tag" of the FQDNSN (Fully-Qualified DNS Name)
is listed as http://akadns.net since that is the ISP/Router resolving the DNS name!
I hope that this has helped shed some light as to WHo's problem this REALLY is,
and will help to stop the Apple-User 'finger-pointing' game in it's tracks!

Error -3150 when downloading update for iPod touch app

I just started getting an error when I try to download an update for one of the apps I have on my iPod touch. I was able to download the update with no problems through the App Store app on my iPod touch, but whenever I try to download it using iTunes for Windows, I get an Error -3150. Any help would be appreciated.

I have the same problem with my iPhone 3G.
please let me know if there is a way

"The network connection timed out" when finished downloading 2.0 software

So, every time I try to update to 2.0, as soon as the download finishes I get this error: http://i34.tinypic.com/11jutdf.jpg
It's happened 5 times now, and I'm quite upset since I just blew ten bucks on this.
Anyone else has a similar problem and figured it out?

I am getting the same error i have troubleshot everything on my end and found it to be a problem on their end. I have a friend who lives a mile away who is having the exact same problem. Apple support has NOT been helpful and i got a cookie cutter form letter response telling me it was my problem and there was nothing they could do about it. I got distraught and have emailed them again asking for another source to download from or a hard copy.

I get a network connection timed out when I try to restore my ipod touch and I know connection is fine

My daughter forgot her password on touch. We have tried to restore, but after 6 or 7 minutes we get a connection timedout error message and it says to try again later. I turned off firewalls, but that did not help. Any suggestions?

Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and restore usually resolves that problem.

There was a problem downloading the software for the ipod. Network connection timed out

There was a problem downloading the software for the ipod. Network connection timed out. This is for the latest ios for the iPod touch. Already walked through the steps to validate that all settings were correct with the firewall, Windows defender has been disabled. This has not been an issue with previous ios updates. Not sure what the issue here is.

Hi,
You might have to place your iPod in Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.
Hope this helps!
