Update timing out

I am trying to update my 3G wwith the 3.1.3 update and now the second ocmputer I have tried has 'timed out' before it has downloaded. Can someone help? thx!

The single biggest cause of this is security software on your computer. So, disable any firewalls, anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-anything and try again.

  • Software updates, timing out, help ?

    i just bought my macbook yesterday, and figured i would update my software, after trying, all failed except for iphoto and iDVD, i tried doing them seperatly, but they all timed out, saying there was no network connection. I tried updating certain software from the apple site, as opposed to the update menu, and the same occured. Does anyone have a suggestion to this problem ?
    p.s this is my first mac, so most of this is new to me

    would this slowness be due to my internet service as
    a whole, or to my wireless router?
    It could be either/both. Go here and test your speed. Are you getting a steady download?

  • Mac Updates timed out

    When I attempt to download updates from the App Store, it fails and I get the following message "An error has occurred. The request timed out (-1001)". It has failed many times. I have a fairly high speed connection 12Mbp. How can I update my software? Thanks

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Select
    /var/log ▹ install.log
    from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

  • IPod update timing out?!

    For the last week since the iOS 4.2 update came out, I've tried downloading it with no success; the file does not process or verify, the network connection times out (Error code is -3259) when the file is totally completed, according to iTunes (missing a tenth of a megabyte, but there's no more time remaining indicator). Pausing and resuming causes the file to restart, and that's 600 more megabytes to my bandwidth quota for the month, for nothing.
    I really don't mean to sound... well, snarky, but this is getting pretty frustrating to me. I know many of the features carried by the 4.2 update won't apply to me, as I'm on a Windows machine, but iTunes DOES remind me there's an update available every time I plug the iPod in, so I try again, almost every time. I must have wasted about 2-3 gigabytes already.
    Well,

    Turn off your Anti-Virus, Spy Ware, Ad Ware, whatever... Turn it all off...
    If you have a Firewall turned on, turn it off...
    Then update your iPod Touch

  • Select for update timing out

    Hi there
    when I do a simple select statement like
    select * from table
    I recieve all the records without a problem
    when I add 'for update' like
    select * from table for update
    this seems to take a long time (I don't actually get a result)
    Is there something I'm doing wrong or have I incorrectly set up my oracle server?

    As you are saying that your normal query is running fine but if you are using query with for update of it takes more time than previous.
    But it is normal behaviour of the oracle itself, when you use for update of, oracle put lock on selected row and then dont allow other users to access it unless and untill first user finish the desired task on selected row. It creates delay in response of your for update query.

    Try a direct download:
    iPod, iPhone and iPad Firmware Download
    Manually install it by holding your "Option" key down when clicking on the "Restore" button in iTunes and select the firmware file you downloaded.

  • When ever I try to sync my iPad2 to itunes i can never completely "update and download" because after the entire process it says "Error: unable to complete update /download, network timed out"!  Why? I have wi-fi in my house

    I can't complete my iPad2 update and download, ever.  It says my network timed out and I don't know why.

    Temporarily turn off any firewall or anti-virus software you have on your PC while downloading.

  • I can not dowload the new updated software for my Ipod touch 4G. When i do I get an error message that says Network connection has timed out. I have done the trouble shooting steps. Downloaded the latest version of Itunes, and checked network connection

    Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

  • I cannot get the updates for ipad to download. when it gets ready to process the file an error message pops up saying the software was unable to download and the network timed out. any suggestions...

    i am trying to update the software on my ipad from 4.2 to 4.3.3 but i cannot get it to download. I get an error message that says the software was unable to download because the network timed out.  I have tried to download it 7 or 8 different times and still get the same message.  I cannot restore the factory settings either.  The same thing happens.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  It did this when trying to update to 4.2.  I don't remember how we were able to get the software to update.  Thanks.

    Thank you King_Penguin!  It worked beautifully.  I had turned the firewalls off but not the antivirus.  You are great!  I am new to this apple community thing so it looks like I cannot mark your reply as "correct answers", but it was.  Thanks a ton!

  • TS3694 Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out.

    Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. or try again later." and next to the file it has err = -3259. I have tried this 17 times and it won't work. My iTunes is completely up to date. I have made sure that my connection is fine and I have tried turning my firewall off with no avail. This has happened to me before but usually the update will go through after 2-3 tries, never to this extent. I don't know what to do. Help!

    Error -3259 is a network timeout error, usually. This article might help:

  • I am unable to update my software version on my iPod touch. It gets to the very end and tells me that my session timed out. What should I do?

    Every time I try and update my software version for my iPod touch from version 4.2.1 to version 4.3.5 I get within .5 MB (409.5 of 409.6MB) to the end and an error pops up telling me that my network connection has timed out so that the update could not be completed. I start the nursing program next week and need to download books onto my iPod, but it will not let me download the updated versions until my software is updated. I have tried restoring my iPod but when I restore it it says I have to download new software at the same time, therefore I can't even restore it. I just tried resetting my iPod and erasing all data as well as uninstalling iTunes and downloading it again and it still wont work. What do I do? I need to update it so it is ready for school in a week. Any advice? I have tried calling but as I understand I would have to pay for anyone to help me and I really don't want to do that until I have to.

    Hi Jen.  My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse.  Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too.  Now to the problem at hand.  I have the same problem.  I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade.  Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade.  But I'm sure other factors are involved.  Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem:  What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it.  Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade.  Hope this works.   Charlie
