Unable to update software 4.3.5 server timed out?

When I attempt to update my iphone with new software update 4.3.5 on itunes, system will attempt to download and after at least an hour it states "There was a problem downloading the software for the iphone. Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and network connection is active or try again later". There is no problem with the connection - my internet is clearly connected throughout the process; I have tried again at least 5 or 6 times; I even uninstalled itunes and reinstalled - so no problem with itunes and I know its the latest version. Never had any trouble updating before - any suggestions??

This is asked and answered often.
Disable your firewall/security software and try again.

I am unable to update software or backup my devices. Apple techs unable to resolve the issue after hours of phone support over the course of several months.

I am unable to update software, transfer purchases, sync, or backup any of my 3 devices. I have tried using iTunes on other computers, uninstalling iTunes with tech support walking me through, using a different user on my computer, deleting photos off of my devices, using an ethernet cable instead of connecting with wifi, uninstalling my antivirus software and firewall, and had my laptop examined by several techs who all determined there was nothing wrong with the laptop that explains what has been going on. I am also unable to view or download purchases on iTunes. Clicking the Itunes store results in a blank white screen. I get various error messages, including -9886. Apple techs and now the engineers have been unable to resolve the issues thus far, even after several hours of phone support over the course of several months (about 5 hours this month alone). I have done everything they've suggested, even when they've suggested I do something over again, and I'm becoming frustrated. I would greatly appreciate any advice you can offer. Thank you in advance for your time.

Hi there
Sorry for hijacking your thread as put by Dahveed. However I have resolved my issue so I thought I'll share it with the rest of you.
I checked for the error 3194 in youtube and I found some good videos that tell you how to resolve the problem. The issue I was facing was the actually (I know because I have resolved it now) the communication between my computer and apple server which can be fixed as following (if you are using windows):
There is file in following directory:
C:\Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
The file normally has no extension and it is in file format. You need to open it and make sure that every line that has apple server id starts with "#". In my case one of the line started directly with the ip address and then gs.apple.com.
Perform your restore/update after that and hopefully it should be resolved (mine did).
Cheers

All devices unable to update software or download new

4 iPads (1 & 2), 1 iPod touch and 1 iPhone
All were upgraded (well, except iPad 1) to iOS 6.1.2

ok, it wasn't formed as a question, but I was asking:
Is AppleStore/iTunes store operating normally
If so, why are ALL of my devices unable to update software.. (assume this needs more information)
This started 3 days ago now, and I thought "if AppleStore is down, this will be newsworthy" but I didn't see anything on the news.. so I posted here.
So are there any diagnostics one could run to check whether this is a fault in my network - due to some particular reason.. specifically with the AppleStore?
One user (my daughter) was able to download and watch episodes on her AppleTV.. my son tried using GPRS to update his device but experienced the same "block".. Several devices are trying to update software in the house.
I've reset the network (router to ISP) but all my other activities are running normally, including on these devices.
Google Earth is refreshing maps, (in fact, Apple Maps is refreshing maps).. so seemingly everything is normal.. until I ask to update a program or download one.

'408' error server timed out because of added software?

i get a '408' error--server timed out when i try to download from iTunes--this is straight after installing legit rosetta stone software--a windows site mentions this as a possible cause--and the timing points to it--other songs downloaded--but pretty sure it stopped after the software finally got properly installed--any ideas? Thanks.

You are welcome.

Hello Naila1,
It sounds like you are unable to send emails, as they go straight to the outbox, but you can get the emails without issue. I recommend using the Connection Doctor to help you troubleshoot what is happening with the following article:

The Firefox versions which come with many Linux distros have the default Mozilla Firefox updater disabled and use the distros built-in updater.

Server Timed Out, Router not detected

Ever since a heavy thunderstorm I have been unable to pick up wireless Internet on any of my wi-fi devices. I'm no longer able to access 192.168.1.1 through my Internet browser, when I tried to ping 192.168.1.1 it says Server Timed Out, and the LinkSys EasyLink Advisor program said my computer was unable to detect my router. Help?

Marcar,
its much easier for us to help if you give us a little detail. like the model & version of your device.
anyway, a thunderstorm aye?? ake sure that the router's power light is not blinking, if it is reset the router.
HOW TO RESET A ROUTER:
with router turned on, push on the little reset button on the back of the router (beside the wan/internet port). hold that button for about 30 seconds and then release and then turn the router off. leave it of for 20 seconds.
by then you can access the default IP of the router which is 192.168.1.1 (password: "admin").
BTW: before you reset the router make sure you know how to reconfigure it back again to work with the modem for your internet connection.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

When ever i try to download my iPod recovery software, it keeps saying connection timed out. really annoyed and need help to fix it

- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
If the iPod was Disabled, 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
