    When you get anything that says your network connection timed out it either means you lost internet connection or there is something blocking the connection between the computer and the servers that it is trying to connect to.
    If you have a solid internet connection and can browse to websites fine it's either an anti-virus program or a firewall on the computer OR a firewall in the router's settings that you use to connect to the internet.
    Reconfigure any security software to allow Apple's servers to pass.
    Useful information for configuring your security software:
    IMPORTANT: iTunes must be allowed to contact Apple using the following ports and servers:
              ▪          port 80
              ▪          port 443
              ▪          phobos.apple.com, deimos3.apple.com, albert.apple.com, gs.apple.com, itunes.apple.com, ax.itunes.apple.com, ax.init.itunes.apple.com, ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net
    iTunes uses well known ports and these ports may need to be opened for iTunes: 80, 443, 3689, 5297, 5298, 5353, 8000-8999, and 42000-42999.
    iTunes also contacts VeriSign servers during an iPhone restore and activation:
              ▪          evintl-ocsp.verisign.com
              ▪          evsecure-ocsp.verisign.com
    For more information see Update and restore alert messages on iPhone and iPod touch
    Temporarily disable or uninstall your security software
    If the current available version of your security software is incompatible with iTunes, you can disable the security software and test if it is the source of the issue. It might also be necessary to temporarily uninstall security software after making sure you can reinstall it and note any required licenses. A temporary deinstallation might be required because parts of some security software remain active in the background though they appear to be deactivated.
    To reduce any security risks that security software is designed to prevent, consider making sure all files needed to reinstall it are available and disconnect network connections before uninstalling security software. Should this not be possible, such as if a download without active security software is required, that required step should be the only process completed without security software. For assistance in checking your configuration, disabling, or uninstalling your security software, please contact the manufacturer.
    Once disabled or uninstalled, perform only the steps required to verify your issue has been resolved. Complete whatever update, restore, syncing, back up, activation, or other task you were troubleshooting. Once that task is complete, install and configure compatible security software to ensure your PC is protected.
    If it isn't a program or software on the computer contact your Internet Service Provider and/or Router Company to configure or disable the firewall in the router settings.
    To isolate the issue to this you can also try disconnecting the router and plugging your computer directly in to the modem but this does not help for troubleshooting time-out issues directly on any apple mobile devices only if you are syncing or going through iTunes on the computer.

    Disable your Anti-Virus and Firewall software temporarily.

    Disable or turn off your firewall, anti-virus, and all security software and try the download again.

  • HT1212 ipad disabled it syncs sand starts download for update but stops and says network connection timed out. its not 3g cant use find iphone

    asks if i want to update and restore download starts and then message syas network connection timed out. any ideas on another method i can update after unlocked and restore all his stuff from icloud

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
    - Then try on another computer

    I have tried to update my iPhone 4 on several different PC computers.  Always get this message:  "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone.  The network connection timed out."  Any suggestions?

  • How can I download iphone software 5 when I keep getting this error message: There was a problem downloading the s/w for the iphone ...The network connection timed out. It's error 3259

    I keep getting an error message saying my network connection has timed out when I try to download the iphone 5 software to my iphone 4 while it's connected to my laptop. Then it says make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. The download gets all the way to the end (takes about an hour mind you), and keeps timing out.  It's error 3259.  FYI, I have the latest version of iTunes.

    Security software on your computer/router is the usual cause of this. Turn off/disable or uninstall all anti-virus software & firewalls. Try again.

  • I have been creating a document in numbers on my iPhone and synced to iCloud. Now I cannot open it, and when trying to download via browser I get an error message. How can I recover this document?

    Dear all,
    I have created a document on my iPhone, and stored it on iCloud. I have updated the document both on my iPhone and on my iPad. Now, I cannot open the document on my iPhone anymore, even a reset of the phone did not help. Via iPad I also cannot open the file, and when I try to download it to my PC via icloud.com I get an error message.I suspect that the file has become corrupt as I have updated it on the iPhone while I did not have network connectivity.
    I have two questions:
    1.) Is it possible to recover an earlier version of the file?
    2.) What can I do to prevent this from happening again in the future?
    3.) Does the iPhone sync changes to iCloud in the background or does the application need to be active?
    Thank you,
    Niftan

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
    The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
    My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.

  • 7.6 update leaves message "network connection timed out"

    Hi,
    My latest update for 7.6 on iTunes does not allow me to access the Store or copy discs in with track listings or using gracenote. I get a message saying "iTunes could not coonect to the iTunes Store. The network timed out!" I am Windows XP/ SP2 and run Symantec Norton security. I have checked the firewall and iTunes is allowed access. I can access email, browsers and all as normal.
    Can anyone suggest anything else?
    Thanks

    I'm having the same problem after updating 7.6. I've tried the following
    -Itunes was allowed in my firewall. I turned it off and that didn't help so I turned it back on
    -reset my router and modem
    -removed 7.6 and tried various older versions including one from 2005
    -tried suggestions in artcle
    -Checked for problems with norton/symantec. I have symantec but no firewall through that program
    -Ran itunes diagnostics-they were fine.
    It is very frustrating to not be able to purchase music, load new music from CD's without typing in everything, and upload my podcasts. I'm sure there is a problem that itunes needs to fix.
    Please respond if you have other suggetions.

  • Iphone 4s Choose a Network is greyed out, how can it be resolved

    I have been experiencing this issue for 3 days now. I am worried that my data will be way too much for my budget. I went to Apple Retail store today at Fairview Mall but have missed the time of my appointment and was told that the next booking they have is not until Monday, February 4, 2013. Wow! That means using more data and incurring more charges on my phone bill. How on earth can Apple be dependent on their Genius bar to set appointments when you see staff in that store just standing and doing nothing? Even the Manager is not helpful and rude...my mistake because I was so frustrated I forgot the name. I could have escalated that person...he houldn't be in the front line..when he doesn't know how to deal with a frustrated customer who cannot use the proper service of their product...
    So can this be resolve? How can I submit a ticket to rsolve this issue?
