Unable to download iPhone update - "network connection was reset" error

I'm trying to download the latest version of the iPHone software update, but I keep getting the same error 50 - 75% of the way through the download. I get an error that says "Your network connection was reset". All other downloads work PERFECTLY in all other programs.
I've cleared my DNS, I've disabled my McAfee security software...any suggestions??

I am having a similar problem. The iPhone software will not update.
I can (and have) updated the most recent version of iTunes (9.0.3.15). When that completed, it asked to download the newest iPhone software, 3.1.3. I said yes, and the download began.
It shows 'Downloading 1 item iPhone software update (2 minutes remaining) for about thirty seconds, then the number climbs higer for a few seconds and the error message: There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone "iPhone". The network connection timed out.
Ever since then, i get the same results and same message no matter what. I have diables firewall, virus protection, rebooted, tried to resotre instead of just update, reauthorized my computer, checked all connections (i can do other updates, surf the web uninterrupted, etc).
I am using a wireless connection, but even the itunes update itself worked, just not the iPhone update.
Thanks for any advice,
Jim
EDIT: I also noticed that itunes changed from recognizing the phone as 'Jim's iPhone' to 'iPhone'

  • Network connection was reset errors

    I am getting Download errors from ITunes... Err=3253, Network connection was reset.
    What is the problem?

    You can try this :
    - hold down the reset button for about 30 seconds, then unplug the device, while you are still holding down the reset button.
    - leave unplugged for about 5 seconds, while you are still holding down the reset button.
    - plug the unit back in, while you are still holding down the reset button.
    - after about 5 seconds, let go off the reset button.
    - go to the webpage of the router.
    - you should see the special mode.

  • Network Connection was Reset Error

    Tried to sign into iTunes Store and received the following message. "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The network connection was RESET! What is the problem. I am using Windows 7 and everthing else is working fine Internet service etc.
    Hope someone can help!

    The internet connection is not propaly setup on your iTunes app, DO NOT change the settings unless you know what your doing. Also, is this a one time or does it happen permentally, because if it happens permentally then you will need to re-install iTunes

  • Since my windows 8 has automatically updated, I am unable to access itunes store. It comes up blank, and sometimes my downloads say 'the network connection was reset'. Any ideas?

    I have checked servers and ports, done the winsock bit (only bonjour shows), have checked my antivirus, everything. But still I can't sort it and it's frustrating me, as it picks and chooses when it downloads apps and songs I have recently purchased too. Nothing has changed except for the windows 8 automatic updates, and it was working fine beforehand.

  • HT203128 "Unable to check for available downloads. The network connection was lost." I have 3 downloads from yesterday that I receive this error code. Any ideas?

    I have 3 downloads from yesterday that I receive this error code. Any ideas?
    Thank you!

    I may have stumbled upon something that could help. A type of "detour" around the problem.
    I just started experiencing this problem a few days ago. Anytime I'd try to download a song/video/movie, I would get the message, "Unable to check for available downloads. The network connection was reset".
    So, instead of selecting "Check for Available Downloads" under "Advanced" menu...
    I logged into "My Account" page in itunes. If there are available downloads it comes up at the top of the page with the option button "Download Now". When I select that -- it downloads immediately.
    Can't promise it will work every time. But it's worked for me so far. Good luck...

  • "Could not purchase album. The network connection was reset."

    I have been trying to download the Pokemon X&Y soundtrack from iTunes for about a week now, and every single time I get one of two messages... "Could not purchase [album]. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network connection is active and try again." will appear when clicking "buy" before I can even put my username and password in. Occasionally it will let me put in my username, but then takes me to a slightly different box that I can't get it to do right now, but it says something to the effect of "Unable to download album. The connection was reset."
    I looked on the Apple Support site and took its suggestion of performing a DNS flush, but that didn't change anything. I do not have the most reliable internet here, but I just downloaded an album a couple weeks ago on this network so it has worked before.
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    I have also been trying to download the album from my phone. I will click buy, it will say downloading for a minute, and then the buy button will just reappear. I try to click it again and I get a notice that my account is temporarily unavailable... what is going on??

  • Hi, I am trying to update an iPhone 4 from iOS 4.3.3 to iOS 7.0.4, and every time I try to update it comes up with an error message saying that there was a problem because the network connection was reset. Is there any way I can get past this and update?

    The full message said:
    There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone "Judy's iPhone 4". The network connection was reset.
    Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later.
    I am trying to update the iPhone for my grandmother, Judy, as I am leaving for Paris on Wednesday night and we want to have Facetime installed on her iPhone before then, so we can stay in contact with each other. It is the simplest way for this to happen but the program simply will not allow me to update her iPhone.
    Is there any way to get past this error and update her iPhone? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • HT201210 Trying to restore ipod and keep on getting error message: the ipod software update server could not be contacted. the network connection was reset

    Hello can someone please help? Trying to restore ipod and I keep on getting error message: The IPod software update server could not be contacted. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network is active and try again.

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • Unable to connect, 'network connection was reset.'

    I have been unable to connect with the itunes store despite an extreme effort and multiple changes/attempts. I do have sonic wall firewall running McAfee anti virus. Everytime I open itunes I get the message: "itunes could not connect to the itunes store. The network connection was reset." My network connection is active and has been checked. I could really use some direction or advice as to how to solve this frustrating problem.
    Thanks.

    I am getting the same message, HELP! I have done everything to try to troubleshoot myself. My network connection is fine. I have downloaded the latest version of Itunes, flushed my dns, added apple sites to trusted sites, check my norton antivirus to make sure Itunes was ok with my firewall. I really need help. Thank you.
