Picasa users out there? Can't upload to Picasa web albums - time out error

Hi All,
After posting numerous times on the google picasa forums, I am hoping someone can help me here. Not sure if this is the correct discussion area.
I have been having this issue for a few weeks now and it's driving me mad. Hope someone can help.
Everything used to work fine, but now whenever I try to upload photos I just get a message saying "Error request failed. Upload failed". Looking into the log file:
Modified request headers:
Added header: Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---------------------------54BEB7A34478
Added header: Content-Length: 66700
Added header: Accept-Encoding: gzip
Post data size: 66700
[216789878] id 37: Error: Read stream timed out (-4)
[216789882] Upload failure reported. Retry allowed: (1)
[216789883] Retry allowed: retry count = 7, in 0 seconds
[216789883] Too many retries (or retry not allowed), setting status failed
[216789884] Upload failed - err: (-7)
Doesn't say much to me.
I am running Picasa v3.05 for Mac (10.5.7). Have tried various settings in my Firewall including switching it of all together, specifically adding Picasa under System Preferences > Security > 'Firewall' tab, rebooting my machine, banging head against brick wall etc....
Emailing my photos to Picasa works fine.
Any suggestions would be good.
I have searched the net and tried all suggestions to those people who have had any upload issues previoulsy, but to no avail.
Something to do with proxies maybe?
Not sure if it's a Picasa, Mac, Firefox, Internet or firewall setting, so if you have any ideas, I would be very grateful to receive them!
Any experts who can help me? Thanks!

Okay, just coming back to close this issue. I reset my Netgear modem to factory settings, set up my connections from scratch and hey presto, Picasa decided to work again. Not sure why it stopped working as I never fiddle with my modem settings (which is secured btw!). And that's after 3 weeks of searching the net and trying everything on my mac!
Hope that helps anyone else with similar problems in future!

    I can not get to iPhone screen, so no way to get to Settings. That is the problem. When I connect phone to iTunes I get screen asking to insert SIN card. On the phone I'm getting Cinfigure screen asking Launguage , Country or Region, Wi-Fi, ( I can connect to my home wi-fi), and last screen "Activating your iPhone". After two minutes of waiting IM getting message: Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server in temporary unavailable. try connecting to iTunes or try later or contat apple.com/support.
    Like I mention, I went to Bell as well Rogers store and tried to insert active SIM card with no results.

  • File Upload extension that doesn't time out?!

    Can anyone recommend a good File Upload utility that won't
    time out on a
    shared server? Ideally ASP/VBScript.
    Restrictions on our shared server mean that we only have 15
    seconds to
    execute a script.
    My concern is that this just isn't going to be possible on a
    shared server
    because if someone wants to upload a 3MB image then it's,
    naturally, going
    to take more than 15 seconds.
    Would appreciate any advice, thanks.
    Regards
    Nath.

    This is not a script issue, but a server issue. You would
    need to talk to
    your host.

  • How to increase the web session time out for FDM While data uploading.

    I have very large data files of Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss. These are taking very long time while being loaded through FDM. Kindly let me know of the following:
    1 - How can I increase the time for "web session time out" in FDM; and
    2 - What is the standard data loading time, e.g. how much time should it ideally take for approximately 1,000 lines to be load in Hyperion.
    Regards

    You supposedly feed it a (undocumented) parameter, -rxidletimeout, with the time in seconds, at startup.
    app.serverSettings.sessionTimeout will report back whatever value you fed it. However, in my experience so far, the timeout is somewhere around 30 seconds no matter what value you feed it. I might be doing something wrong.
    I currently have a ticket open with Adobe support about this very issue, but it's slow going. I'll try to update you with whatever I find out.
    I'd love to hear whether anyone else has this working.

  • Dir API - Web services Time out

    Hi All,
    I am using Dir API web services to make some mass updates to Config objects. I have developed a client in Java and was able to access/edit the ID objects. The problem I am facing is since the number of objects in the change list is huge ( >1000),  the web services time out.
    I tried to set the time out parameter for the web service call using
    context.put(BindingProviderProperties.REQUEST_TIMEOUT, 600*1000);
    also,
    context.put("com.sun.xml.ws.connect.timeout", 600*1000);
    context.put("com.sun.xml.ws.request.timeout", 600*1000);
    None of them seem to have any impact.
    Any ideas what is the correct way to adjust this time out behaviour?
    Thanks
    Jai

    Hi RK,
    Thanks for that. I am not looking at changing the time outs at Server. I am just interested in changing the time outs for the request I make from the client. The point is I do not want to impact any other services running in the server.
    In WS Navigator, it seems possible to change the time out value using Invocation parameters. (Did not try this yet!!)
    So it must be possible to set the time out for the request from the client.
    Thanks
    Jai

  • I wanna find out how can i upload imovie in instagram

    Hey there!
    It sounds like you want to upload a project to Instagram that you have in iMovie. You can export the video as a quicktime file, and then upload that file to Instagram. Use this article to export the video to a file:
    Export a QuickTime file
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#move6e0cb2ad
    Create a QuickTime file
    Select a movie, trailer, or clip in the browser.
    Click the Share button in the toolbar, and then click File.
    In the dialog that appears, do any of the following:
    To set the title of the shared movie: Click the name at the top, and type a new name.
    To set the description of the shared movie: Click in the Description field, and type new text.
    To set tags for the shared movie: Click in the Tags field, and type tag names separated by commas.

    To find out which devices will play the movie: Move the pointer over the Compatibility icon.
    To add your movie to the Theater: Select the Add to Theater checkbox.
    Click Next.
    In the dialog that appears, type a name in the Save As field, or leave the default name, which is the name of the movie, trailer, or clip.
    Navigate to the location where you want to save the file, and click Save.An activity indicator appears on the right side of the toolbar. Click the activity indicator to see details. The indicator disappears when the operation has finished.After the share process is complete, the movie opens in QuickTime Player. A “Share Successful” notification also appears.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Can I change how long before a "time out"?

    Hi,
    I have a hardware firewall that intercepts and scans all incoming POP traffic before letting it pass through.
    We've found an issue with large attachments where Mail times out before the firewall has downloaded and scanned the attachment.
    I can't find a Network or Mail preference to change the length of Mail's time out.
    Anyone know how to do it?
    Thanks!

    Dual 2.5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I took a look at Tweak UI. It has my current hover time as 400ms.
    1) In my PS CS4, the hover time is about 1400 ms (I measured it), so I doubt that CS4 uses the setting displayed in Tweak UI.
    2) I tried changing the hover time in Tweak UI to 100ms. It made no difference in PS.
    I have seen elsewhere on the web that in InDesign the user can set the hover time, implying that delay is inside the PS program also.
    Other ideas?
    By the way, I am on XP SP3.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:

    ☞ 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 page that opens.
    Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents — the text, please, not a screenshot.

  • Can i upload one page at a time

    I have a very complex website with tons of pages that were designed using a different software.  I have now decided to switch to Adobe Muse. I need to change some pages on my website without having to recreate the whole website in Muse.  Can I upload individual pages to replace my existing web pages so that I can gradually update all of my web pages using Muse instead of having to complete the whole website redesign in Muse before uploading it?

    You can upload single pages with Muse but that wouldn't help with what you want... if the site has been made for you then imo your best bet is to use Dreamweaver now.

  • Aironet 1100 series web interface times out after few mins of inactivity

    Hello,
    I just upgraded an Aironet 1121G access point to IOS software version 12.3(8)JEC2 (file name: c1100-k9w7-tar.123-8.JEC2). I noticed that the HTTP web interface now times out after an inactivity of just a few minutes (dont have an exact number, but it times out between 2-4 mins of inactivity). Can this timeout period be changed..!? How? This wasnt happenning on the previous software version: 12.3(8)JEB1.
    Also, where can I find the online help files for the latest Cisco IOS software? I cant seem to find it on the Cisco website!
    Thanks much for all your help.. really appreciate it.

    Does anyone have any idea on this..!? Its terrible having to login every couple of mins..!
    Thanks :)

  • Cannot connect photosmart​7520 to the web services. times out. help please?

    Trying to connect to Web Services but times out. Configuration page suggests no internet connectivity although network modem/router is connected to the internet. Printer prints ok wirelessly through the network.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Let's set a static IP address and external DNS for the printer:
    - Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
    - Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
    - Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
    - Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS. This is Google DNS. You can choose another external DNS if you wish.
    - Click 'Apply'.
    Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
