    I keep trying to submit a validated RSS feed to podcasts on Itunes.  It keeps saying session timed out.  Any suggestions?   thanks

    Possibly your server is responding too slowly. In iTunes, from the 'Advanced' menu choose 'Subscribe to Podcast'. Enter your feed URL. See whether you can subscribe there, and whether there is an appreciable delay.

  • Iphone stuck in recovery mode wont restore keep getting errors

    iphone 3gs is stuck in recovery it will not turn on unless plugged in and in restore mode saying to connect to itunes. when i restore it i get errors 3194, 1604 and 1611, i dont know what did this and im not sure what firmware the iphone is. itunes will recognise it in recovery mode but the computer will not. in dfu mode it will not restore either.

    Well, as a start, Recboot hosed the network database on your computer, which could be the problem. Especially if you had used it at some time in the past. Look in /etc/hosts, and if you see any lines containing "gs.apple.com" delete those lines.
    From your profile you are also using a version of OS X that is not compatible with iTunes 10, which is required to update iPhones. You need OS X Leopard 10.5.8 as a minimum.
    See: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error9 for other tips. You could have a bad or dirty connector on the iPhone also. Try cleaning it with a soft, dry toothbrush.

  • HT201210 I,m trying to restore my phone but I keep getting Error code 21.... help please

    I,m trying to restore my phone but I keep getting Error code 21.... help please     iPhone 4S

    Take a look at this Apple doc -> iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
    You could just update or uninstall the security software on your computer and then test again.

  • I have been unable to download the iphone software v5.1.  I keep getting the timing out message.  Is there someway to set my network connections to allow the download?  Can I get the update some other way?

    The Huntress is correct, I have missed that you have an iPhone 3G
    Usually iTunes will tell you in that case, that iOS 4.2.1 the newest version for your phone.
    If you don't have an iPhone 3G, network connections timing out can be a security software problem:

  • My husband forgot his apple id password but the system won't allow him to reset it - keep getting a timed out message.  Help!

    Of course, after he'd tried to reset it, I found the original password.  But that now doesn't work and we can't reset the password.  We can't even "find" the ID.  We keep getting a timed out message, no matter what we try.  Since he has no working Apple ID, I'm using mine to ask this question.  Possibly relevant - he is NOT a big app user.  I set up the account for him when he first got his iPhone a couple of years ago and he has only a few apps installed.  So the card details may have expired but, of course, he can't update them either.  He recently updated to the latest IOS (6.1.3) and it was when finishing the installation that he ran into the problems with forgetting his password.
    Short of creating a new ID, does anyone have any bright ideas?

    Call Apple Care for your country and request help resetting the password.

    Reboot and try again. If that fails, back up all data, then boot from your recovery partition (command-R at startup), launch Disk Utility, select your startup volume, and run Repair Disk (not Repair Permissions.) If any problems are found, repeat. Then reboot as usual.

  • Iphone won't restore. keep getting error (1)

    Hello, I have a iphone 3gs 32gb running ios 5.0.1. It recently stopped working so i tried to restore it. I keep getting error code (1). I have tried over 15 times on 3 computers with 4 different usb cords. I NEED HELP!!!!!!
    Thanks,

    I just got back from the Apple store in Ginza, Tokyo and they gave me a new 3gs. Since it already had the new software on it, I just had to restore from my last backup. Things have gone along pretty well but resetting a lot of things has been tiresome. The people at the Apple phone service center were great and set up the appointment for me here in Tokyo. The Genius bar guy just swapped my SIM card and I was good to go. This has been an ordeal but the end result is: my (new) phone is working! Thanks for everyone's suggestions but the failure to load the firmware update couldn't be fixed on my iPhone.
    Greg
    P.S. ccuba, I hope you get the same level of service that I got here!
