"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 need help updating my iPad to ios 5, without it telling me that the network connection timed out.

You can download the correct iOS upgrade manually to your computer and then apply it to your iPad using the iTunes app on your computer. After you have downloaded the correct upgrade press the Option/Alt key and click on the Check for Update button in the iTunes app. Browse to the file on your computer, select it and iTunes will do the rest to install it.

Try temporarily disabling any firewalls, antivirus and antispyware utilities you may have running on your computer. Those utilities are often reported as being culprits in this problem.

My connection has been tested and there are no problems.

Try temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed. if that doesn't work then try downloading the update via a browser : https://discussions.apple.com/message/16436025#16436025

Does anyone know how to solve this tiresome problem, please!?? The update is downloaded upto 723.5MB, and is required upto 723,6MB, then the error message pops out! Tnx.

I have a quick wifi connection (Mac shows it as about 35 megabits) but I couldn't get the 5.0.1 OTA to work, I had to do it via cable to my computer's iTunes - and as I was already on iOS 5 it was only a small download, basically the same size as the OTA size.
As the original poster is talking about a 730 meg download then I assume that they are still on iOS 4.3.5 or below and can therefore only download via their computer's iTunes - you need to be on iOS 5+ before you get the OTA option.

When syncing iPhone with iTunes I get an iTunes stopped working and the network connection timed out message. I reinstalled iTunes and checked settings still no go.

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.

Hi Robertfrom Denver.
Did you try the solution given, and if yes, did it work?
I have done several "attempted downloads, and see the full file download, typically taking 30 minutes to complete, and then something goes wrong.
I am happy to suspend AV and FW software, but would like to know if it is a good fix or not first?

When trying to connect to Airplay speakers I get error message "The network connection timed out" although some sort of connection is made as the speaker is turned on. Same thing with Apple TV. Is the distance from my speaker/ TV the problem?

"There was a problem downloading the software fot the iphone. The network connection timed out."
there's no pblm with my connection but this error keeps on showing,
what to do? please help....

Stop with the silly and pointless fonts.
A simple search of the forums for the actual error would have revealed the resolution.
Temporarily disable all security software on the computer.

When i try to open my itues it says "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. The Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, and try again"

I am having similar issues except that the store starts to load, then stops, then I only get iTunes Store in gray letters on a white screen. I can access playlist and the other stuff. Like flamesgirl, I contacted them and they just keep sending me links of stuff to try which I had already seen on the Apple website and nothing works. I posted the question on another forum I belong to and one responder said her husband was in an Apple store and asked about this problem as he was having the same issue. They said an update would be coming out soon as they were aware of the problem. Who knows.
