New to I-pad and keep getting timed out when trying to download apps any help?

Any help when constantly getting timed out message on trying to download apps by using security questions?

I had the same problem! I don't know what caused it, possibly slow Internet but I suppose my antivirus or other software could have affected it. Maybe it's an iTunes problem.
After restarting the download at least 5 times in iTunes after it timed out, I found this website. I didn't know this before, but you can download the update in your browser and then apply it to your iPhone in iTunes once it finishes. I used Firefox 4 and it downloaded without timing out once. All you have to do is hold down Shift and then click on Update in iTunes and it will prompt you to select the update that you downloaded and it will apply it.
Try this and let me know how it works!

  • I keep getting an error when trying to download apps,

    app updates and new downloads fail every time partway through download. Ipad2 IOS 6.0.1 and Iphone5 same release. Error says "Unable to download application" Application cannot be installed at this time.

    Go to Settings>Store >Apple ID, tap your ID and sign out. Then reboot the iPad, Reboot 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.
    Then go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and sign in again and see if the apps will update or download now.

  • TS3274 I keep getting an error when trying to download a tv series right on my iPad from the iTunes store. I am able to download on my laptop then synchronize but it's a hassle specially if my laptop is not with me. All other Apps seem to be working fine.

    I keep getting an error when trying to download a tv series right on my iPad from the iTunes store. I am able to download on my laptop then synchronize but it's a hassle specially if my laptop is not with me. All other Apps seem to be working fine. Help!

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

  • HT201272 Keep getting error #499 when trying to download a song from an album I purchased that failed to download.  Error message appears when trying to download from iTunes and the cloud. Re-starting the computer did not help.

    I downloaded an album I purhcased a few days ago but one of the album's songs did not download.  I received an error message, #499, for which I can get no explanation or interpretation of what error #499 even is (other than generic terms).  All my efforts to re-start the download have failed.  I've tried several times to download the file to no avail, tried the cloud service to no avail, and re-started the computer to no avail.
    My main intention is to, of course, get the download completed.  My secondary intention is to, hopefully, bring to the attention of Apple - iTunes staff, the grossly inadequate, dare I say cryptic, error message descriptions iTunes displays. 
    I can provide the purchase receipt number if it is required.

    Hey SDGardella,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are receiving error 499 when attempting to download purchases from the iTunes Store. The following resource outlines this error message:
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
    "Error 499"
    This alert occurs due to security software. Follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I keep getting "hash mismatch" when trying to download Mountain Lion from the App store

    I've been trying to download the new Mountain Lion from the App Store & keep getting "hash mismatch" message. I was able to download on my 1 computer, but no luck on the 2nd computer, which is up-to-date on all updates & software. Support even put a fresh copy of the App in my account & I still get that same message. Someone suggested AppCleaner, but how do you delete the OS to re-install the new. Didn't think that was possible. Any suggestions - I've tried quitting & logging out of the App Store & even re-starting (several times)

    -  Temporarily disable anti virus software if installed.
    -  Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent apps from downloading including Mountain Lion.
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select Mountain Lion. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
