Thunderbird times out when trying to access my account, but no trouble with firefox.
connection to server j.maude@ntlworld timed out.
firefox access sees these accounts with no problems. WHY!!
I could wax lyrical for ages on possible whys!. Lets just say that the only similarities between the two processes is your see your mail in both.
However Assuming you have just updated Thunderbird there is about a 99% chance the issue will be the firewall in your anti virus program or some other component of it. They react very badly to version number changes and manual intervention is often required to allow a program that has worked for years.
The second most common cause of mail woes is the mail scanner drops the ball and mail just does not get through the anti virus. Turning off mail scanning is the easiest way to check that one.
Coming a distant Third is your mail provider has changed the settings to connect to their mail servers ( this usually is accompanied with an error, often complaining incorrectly about the user name and password)

I can't connect to the iTunes store with my Apple TV. I can see what movies are on offer but when trying to access my account i am advised "Can't connect to server" (times out).
I have the same problem with my 3rd gen Apple TV. I can preview iTunes movies, stream from my Mac, Airplay from my other devices but I cannot rent a movie on iTunes. Every time I try I get "Can't connect to ITunes" and "Unable to sign in". Had technical support review the problem over the phone and they agreed to send me a new one. Same problem. Interestingly enough my 2nd gen Apple TV works just fine.

HT4972 iTunes times out when trying to download iOS 5.1
iTunes times out when trying to download iOS 5.1 - can anyone help? Can I download via a browser and then install that way?
Looking here http://osxdaily.com/2012/03/07/ios-5-1-download/ - I can download an ipsw file - how would I get that to install on my iPhone4?
Help!
Cheers
P.S. My iPhone4 is on Orange UK - is this a GSM one? or CDMA???Hi,
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Now restart your iPad. Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If that didn't help, you need to post in the iPad forum here.

'Vintage' MacBook has lost all wifi connection suddenly and stored settings. I've tried to manually input my IP address and DNS number but it just times out when trying to connect to the network can anyone help?
You said:
We still couldn't get it to stop timing out. I tried to download the firmware from iClarified but iTunes said it didn't recognise the software.
Just what did yo do to gt iTunes to see the download: -
The last 3 or 4 times I have tried to access my account, it has told me it has been deactivated and I have to reset each time, or give credit card info again. Why is this happening and how do I stop it?
You must contact iTunes support to get the problem resolved.
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
If there is a problem with your account or payment info, you cannot
download anything (including free apps or updates) until the matter
is resolved.
In countries where the iTunes Store only sells apps, the accepted payment methods are Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Other payment types such as gift cards, store credit, monthly allowances, ClickandBuy, and PayPal are not accepted. Depending on your App Store country, prices may be listed in your local currency, US Dollars, or Euros. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5552 -
I have an iPhone and just goy I pad but no computer I'm trying to synch them together but having trouble with iCloud and I can't seem to subscribe for iTunes match from either devise
You first have to subscribe to iTunes Match through iTunes on your computer and have your music library in iTunes uploaded/matched before you can enable it on your iOS devices (see http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/). Without a computer you won't be able to use iTunes Match.

Time out when trying to open Word/Excel document from portal
Several of our users have been timing out when trying to open/download documents stored in our portal.
The error message is "Download failed. Connection to server was reset."
Is there some obvious setting that I am missing here?
It happens with things as small as 200K - Word and Excel documents.

Session time out when trying to redeem card!?
hi, I have tried to redeem my card 5 times now, and itunes keeps saying "session time out your sessions has timed out please try this operation from beginning" I am dualbooting windows xp and windows 7, I have used both OS's and still the same thing. when I try to redeem it on my ipod touch it tells me I have the wrong code. I do not have a mac availble im on vecation and only brought the PC laptop.
if it matters im using the itunes canadian store.This worked for me:
Establish in her router a WEP 128 bit data encryption password. (Post back if you need help on this). Apparently macs have slightly different Airport drivers and work better with WEP 128 bit than with WPA although this doesn't explain why my friend's MB had your mum-in-law's problem but could connect to my WPA protected network - go figure! Anyway, try a different password encryption and see if that works.
As for not sending mail, check with your Mail Server what the SMTP setting should be.

Ichat times out when trying to sign in
I am in Europe for the year and haven't been able to get my ichat to sign on in my new apartment. I am not good with computers and do not know where to begin with trouble shooting this problem. I have done a lot of reading on sign in problems, but I don't know enough about my internet/computer configuration to make changes. iChat does work when I try to sign on at a different location (university), so I don't think the problem is with the program itself.
This is what I know:
I am using built-in Ethernet TCP/IP that I have configured manually. Other than iChat (or my apple mail which also times out before succesfully signing in), my internet works without problems. Following iChat help, I tried to ports on my firewall, but the firewall wasn't activated.
Any help you can give me is most appreciated. This is really driving me crazy.
Thanks!Hi!
Thank you so much for your help! Changing the port on iChat did the trick. Perhaps that is the problem that is happening with my mail as well. You don't happen to have another suggestion about which port I should use to correct that problem, do you? Thanks again for the help, it is much appreciated!

IPad times out when trying to play shared video (solution)
Problem description: This problem has plagued me for months. I have a series of home videos and purchased movies on my Mac that I had home shared with my other Apple devices using iTunes 11. Sometimes everything would work smoothly, but some other times one or more devices would refuse to play videos. Over the last few days, both my iPads had refused to play any home shared videos ("The request timed out." would pop after a long wait). On the other hand, my Apple TV and iPhone would play these nicely. Also, all music shared via home sharing would play on all devices.
Cause identified: I am using a BELKIN Wireless Dual-Band N+ Router. I had it set up with the same SSID for both the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz bands in the hope that my streaming devices would automatically choose the highest performing configuration. It turns out they did not. While troubleshooting the time out issue, I configured the two wireless bands with separate SSID's which allowed me to observe that both iPads had trouble using the 5 GHz band (N mode only). I could not even get them to validate the pre-shared keys on this band. When switching all devices to the 2.4 GHz band (B+G+N mode), boom! everything started working nicely! The iPads seem to have an issue with the N WiFi mode on the 5 GHz band.
Solution: If using a dual band wireless router, try each band separately with unique SSID's/pre-shared keys. Choose the best performing one, and make sure your devices "forget" any wireless configuration that seems to be causing trouble so they won't later on decide to switch back to them.You need to set the band on the wireless router. Depending on your router model, do that either from your browser, or using the software that came on a CD-ROM.
To use your browser, you need to enter the router's IP address, usually http://192.168.2.1/. This may me different for different router manufacturers. Check the WiFi settings once you are able to log on. The browser-based interface may require an admin password. In most cases the default password is blank, but, again, different manufacturers use different defaults. It is best to use a computer that is hard wired to the router using an ethernet cable. That way the wireless changes will not affect your connection to the router.
Once the band is set in the router, your iPad or AppleTV should be able to detect your wireless network. Once you change the band, the devices may ask you for your wireless password again. -

IPhone 4s times out when trying to update software
Every time I try to update the iOS 7.0.6 it times out. How do I fix this?
EKYTry connecting to iTunes and the computer and update that way. See if that cures your timeout issue. I am used to seeing timeouts with a USB connection rather than doing it OTA.
