Timed out and losing server connections.

Hey
for the past month i have been having problems using Ichat. I seem to be constantly timed out or lose server connections. I'm not very technical so sometimes looking at computer jargon makes my brain fuzzy!
I have changed the port to 443 and its still happening. I have a belkin router and BT is my isp.
It worked fine before (besides having to have a few attempts at voice connections before finally getting there)
It seems to drop connection often and its the whole net usage that is affected, it seems to drop then reboot itself and when logged on to ichat i have to manually sign out and back in again, then i get the message saying i'm connected in more than one location.
Last night it happened roughly 20 times in a three hour period, yet this morning its only happened on a few occasions.
I'm not totally sure what version i am using (like i said i'm a technophobe) all i know is my macbook is a year old. Nobody else uses the internet other than me.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Any help would be great.

Hi,
In this case a Server is normally something that distributes (Serves) an Internet Connection onwards to several other devices.
A modem can be a cable modem and not specifically serve as such and a router is needed behind that to "serve the LAN" as it were.
More specifically a Router or routing device such as a modem that routes will have a DHCP Server that automatically dishes out IP addresses (numbers) to the computers and other devices attached.
In Most devices the DHCP server can be turned Off but then the Computers have to be set to Static IPs (Manually in the Mac Network Preferences).
It takes very small breaks in service either in the routing device itself or from the ISP for iChat to notice.
Although most people think off Mail and Web Browsing to be Always On they only use the Connection intermittently when you get or send mail or change a web page.
iChat is communicating with the AIM Servers (Or Jabber/GoogleTalk) all the time so that you get a instant update to your Buddy list when people come and go Off line.

"Timed out reaching dynamiclink server connection" After Effects cs6

Why do i get the "Timed out reaching dynamiclink server connection" error? I want to motion track a video and i get this error. please help
i have after effects cs6.

Nobody can tell you anything without exact system info. the typical case for this error would be some external influence blocking the required port connections for the separate analysis process. that's all anyone can tell you at this point.

"timed out obtaining dynamiclink server connection" in After Effects

I've seen a lot of other people have this same problem, none of the solutions ive seen are working for me.
Problem appears when i try to track camera, it goes to 'analyzing in background' then after 2 minutes or so it gives me the "timed out obtaining dynamiclink server connection" error pop-up.
Mac OSX 10.7.5
Using Adobe After effects CC
2 x 2.4ghx quad-core intel xeon
15gb ddr3 ram
I've uninstalled Logmein which appeared as a problem in one of the solutions but that hasn't changed anything. Don't have a firewall running. Tried uninstalling After Effects CS6 and After Effects CC and then reinstalling After Effects CC. Dynamiclinkmanager pops up in activity monitor intermittently, it comes and goes repeatedly when i try to 'Track Camera' but never shows any actual use of memory.
Is anyone able to offer help?
Could it be some confusion in preferences / library files between my CS6 installs and CC installs?
Thanks in advance

Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the internet by ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well.

Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the Internet by Ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no Internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well. Could the other wireless laptops being used in my flat be affecting my connection. what can I do to get connected, keep connected. Thanks for any ideas out there.

My network connected for a few hours then went back to timing out. I have not changed anything. However there four additional laptop users in my family who do not seem to be having any problems using their wireless connection. Could their film and music downloads be causing the timing out of my connection and if so is there a way I could prioritizes my computer or limit their use?

Cant download ios5. Using windows computer. Downloaded update 3 times gets to 100% and then says connection has timed out and I lose the lot. Any suggestions

I have been trying to download ios5 using my windows compute Windows 7. I connected Ipad and opened Itunes etc. Three times I have sat there for up to an hour downloding the program and it gets to the end (100%) sometimes it even processses the file and then I get a message saying the connection has timed out and to try again. I am on a wireless connection and it is so frustrating. I have the latest version of itunes. Any suggestions?

Try temporarily disabling your firewall and anti-virus software then try the download again.

When i was waiting for an hour for itunes to grading my 2nd generation ipod touch to a 4.2.1 and it was about done, it suddenly said the network connection timed out and that made the upgrading a fail. Why does it do that? and what does it mean?

I'm using Entourage 2008 v 12.3.5 and lost ability to SEND. Tried many small email tests. Server continues to leave time out message. "An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic.

I'm using Entourage 2008 v 12.3.5 and lost ability to SEND. Tried many small email tests. Server continues to leave time out message. "An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic." Comcast tells me server is not down all other network activity is fine. WHat's up with this?

Starting earlier today, this also became my problem - can receive but not send in Entourage. The account settings are correct in Entourage - I even created a new account. My Mac running 10.7.5 won't read the original Office : MAC 2008 disk, so I can't do a fix or reinstall from the disk.
This is not an issue if I log onto the Comcast site.
And so, I started using Mail but, unlike Entourage, Mail won't import my Entourage info.
Argh... :-(

Whenever i try to update my ipod touch to ios5 it finishes its deal and then it says error and that it timed out and to check my connection

whenever i try to update my ipod touch to iOS 5 it downloads and then it say error timed out and to check my connection it is making me really mad and i'm tempted to take it back

i made sure my itunes was up to date

I can't download OS5 or, rather, iTunes does download it about 450 mb and then, a few seconds after it starts processing the file, I get the message that I am timed out and am recommended to check my internet connection. I am using 3g to download it.

I don't know which country you're in, but in the US, carriers limit the amount of download for a single file when using 3G. Have you tried wifi?

Hi Kaitlynlh,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If your device is timing out, I would try restarting the iPhone and attempting to connect again. If the issue still persists, try resetting as well. You can find instructions here:

Just confirming, when you have the trouble, the wifi icon is grayed-out or has all bars showing? I believe you are saying that is is grayed-out - not connected to your wireless router.
I have a Mini that started to lose connection to the Internet after the 10.7.3 update but still showed the wireless as connected. If I pinged the wireless router, I would get a quarter of the packets failing to return. The router was a Netgear that supported 802.11N connections. As a test, I set it to 802.11G (54MBps) maximum and the Mini worked fine for a week - no dropouts. And for the other devices that did support 802.11N, while there was a noticeable delay with downloads and pages loading, they still worked.
As another test, I changed the Netgear router to a Billion 802.11N model and the Mini has not had a problems since. (It is still using 802.11g). So it could be your router that is causing trouble for your Mac.
Have a look at some of the More Like This postings in the right column. There has been a number of Mac owners experiencing wifi connection issues and some very good suggestions as to how to resolve their issue.

How fast an internet connection is required to download Photoshop without getting timed out by the server?

What minimum internet speed is required to download Photoshop without being timed out by the server?
I experienced a spectacular crash and blue-screen freeze while attempting to download the creative cloud from a hotel wifi system.
Since I don't want a repeat of that calamity, I suspect I was timed out but would welcome input. The hotel has about 1 mbps internet speed according to speedtest.net.
I'm currently working in China but live in Atlanta, waiting to return home to download isn't practical.

Zaphod922 there is no specific bandwidth requirement but if there is enough failures then the download will eventually be canceled. Perhaps a coffee shop wifi hot spot to download the applications?
As an alternative you can download the base installers from Adobe CC 2014 Direct Download Links: Creative Cloud 2014 Release | ProDesignTools. You would still need to download the updates but having the base install in place will reduce the downloads through the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

Error Executing Database Query.coldfusion.sql.DatabaseConnectionException: Timed out trying to establish connection

My coldfusion service crashes intermitantly and when I check

Thanks!
Error Executing Database

I'm no expert, but thought I would try to be helpful.
I was getting this same error on a regular basis.
The short term fix was to restart the ODBC server service.
The long term fix was twofold:
1. I recreated the ODBC connection in ColdFusion
Administrator to use the system connection (I was using the SA and
PW for login).
2. I created a second user ODBC connection as well as the
system one under ODBC in Windows Server 2003.
I haven't had the problem since.
I also read a pretty good set of "stuff" to try from the help
area:

Hope this helps.
