Updating ios 6.1.3 but it times out and fails, what am i doing wrong?

Last iphone 4s was replaced under warranty due to wifi greying out and now i can't update the software on my new phone.
Tried updating direct from iphone but it fails and when attempting from itunes it says my internet connection timed out.
I've attempted 5 times now and i don't know what else to try apart from take it back to Apple Store. Can anyone help?

Temporarily disable any security software on the device and try again.

I am trying to copy songs to an sd card for a digital photo frame. I changed my setting in iTunes to mp3 format before I downloaded the song but it didn't work. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions? I would be very grateful!

I am trying to copy songs to an sd card for a digital photo frame. I changed my settings in iTunes to mp3 format before I downloaded them but it did not work. What am I doing wrong? When I play the sd card in my mac or on a lenovo laptop it works but not in the photo frame. I would be grateful for any ideas as to what I am doing wrong.

Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value). You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these). Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above. As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

Does the same file play normally in iTunes? Do other audiobooks play normally on the iPod?
How does "borrowing" work? Does it require use of another app, other than iTunes, to get it on the iPod?

Does it show on your account's purchase history : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store ? If not then you are sure that the purchase went through, it's not just a temporary store holding charge on your credit card : iTunes Store & Mac App Store: About payment card authorization holds.
If it does show then try the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option on your computer's iTunes and see if that downloads it, or go to the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage and see if it shows there for downloading.

Macbook Pro (Lion 10.7.3) will not connect to Wi-Fi -- persistant 'connection time-out', and fails.

I can see this seems to be a common problem, and it is amazing that there seems to be no consensus (that I can find) on what the underlying problem is.
Here are the basics.... I have two Macbook Pro 13's... Pretty much identical setups (Lion 1.7.3 etc.).
One, works flawlessly connecting to Wi-Fi - whether that is my Airport Express, or any other open or closed networks.
The second, will continually refuse to connect -- to the Airport Express or even a wide-open 802.11b network. It will continually pop up the "connection timeout" erorr, and refuse to connect...
Iphones etc all connect perfectly... Even when connecting to the iPhone hotspot - the same error.
This will happed consistently, until I give up. I can leave it for a day (use ethernet), and come back tomorrow, and voila - it will connect. I may be able to use it for a day or several, but once it decides to 'fail', there is virtually nothing I can do to bring it back... it will continue to fail over and over again.
All updates are applied, I've cleaned out all other networks etc from the list. Tried all civilized things that I can.
Thoughts? Anyone have any other insight? Think this could be a hardware issue? I was thinking to yank the wi-fi module from the working notebook to the non-working one as a test...
Thanks,
Brad

Timer won't release - What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
I am farely new to C#, but not new to programming. I try to develop a class that need a timer to update a file. The problem I have is that when the class is release (like a local variable is destroyed when we exit the method), the timer
is still in function updating the file. Here is a sample class I wrote that will show you what is happening:
First, let me tell you that I tried in VS Community 2013 and in VS 2010 with the same result.
Here is the class:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Timers;
namespace TimerDemo
class MyTimer
// Var
private int countVal;
private string internalId;
private System.Timers.Timer otimer; // Timer
// ==================================
// Property
// ==================================
public string Id
get { return internalId; }
set { internalId = value; }
// ==================================
// Constructor
// ==================================
public MyTimer()
countVal = 0;
internalId = RandomId(8);
otimer = new System.Timers.Timer();
// 2 seconds timer
otimer.Interval = 2 * 1000;
otimer.AutoReset = true;
otimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(timer_Elapsed); // set timer event handler
otimer.Start();
// ==================================
// Timer EVENT
// ==================================
private void timer_Elapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
countVal++;
// Write to the log
System.IO.StreamWriter oWriter;
oWriter = new System.IO.StreamWriter("timerlog.log", true);
oWriter.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString() + " - Loop # " + countVal + " (Timer #" + internalId + ")");
oWriter.Close();
// ==================================
// Generate random Id
// ==================================
private string RandomId(int size)
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
Random random = new Random();
char ch;
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
ch = Convert.ToChar(Convert.ToInt32(Math.Floor(10 * random.NextDouble() + 48)));
builder.Append(ch);
return builder.ToString();
// ==================================
// Destructor
// ==================================
~MyTimer()
otimer.Stop();
otimer.Enabled = false;
otimer.AutoReset = false;
This class simply creates a timer that will write to a file every 2 seconds. It will write the date and time, the Internal ID and a counter that will increment with each timer loop.
Now, add a button to a form with the following code:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
MyTimer lclTimer = new MyTimer();
MessageBox.Show("Class ID #" + lclTimer.Id);
This code will create an object from the class then display a message with the class Internal ID. When you press OK on the messagebox, the button1_click method ends and the local lclTimer object should be released. BUT the timer is still writing
to the file. In fact, it will continue until you end the program.
If you press the button again, a new object will be created with a new ID. The new timer will also update the log file. We are now with 2 timers that updates the file. You may press again on the button to create additionnal timers... but
you will eventually get an error when two timers try to write to the file at the same time.
Here is what the file will look like with 3 timers for a few seconds:
2015-02-24 20:41:27 - Loop # 1 (Timer #48263556)
2015-02-24 20:41:29 - Loop # 2 (Timer #48263556)
2015-02-24 20:41:31 - Loop # 3 (Timer #48263556)
2015-02-24 20:41:33 - Loop # 4 (Timer #48263556)
2015-02-24 20:41:34 - Loop # 1 (Timer #86329571)
2015-02-24 20:41:35 - Loop # 5 (Timer #48263556)
2015-02-24 20:41:36 - Loop # 2 (Timer #86329571)
2015-02-24 20:41:36 - Loop # 1 (Timer #80876526)
2015-02-24 20:41:37 - Loop # 6 (Timer #48263556)
2015-02-24 20:41:38 - Loop # 3 (Timer #86329571)
2015-02-24 20:41:38 - Loop # 2 (Timer #80876526)
2015-02-24 20:41:39 - Loop # 7 (Timer #48263556)
2015-02-24 20:41:40 - Loop # 4 (Timer #86329571)
2015-02-24 20:41:40 - Loop # 3 (Timer #80876526)
2015-02-24 20:41:41 - Loop # 8 (Timer #48263556)
So here is my question: What did I miss? How can I make sure the timer is destyoyed when the class is released? It seems that the .Stop() call don't really stop the timer...
Thanks.

Unlike their counterparts in c++, destructors in c# don't get called when an object goes out of scope. Instead, they are called when the Garbage Collector decides to clean up that object if it unused. If an object is attached to a Timer that is still
running, the Garbage Collector will think that it's still in use and won't try to remove it, so the destructor won't be called.
Generally speaking, destructors in c# are fairly useless.
I think you will need to add a Stop method to your MyTimer class and call it explicitly in button1_Click before the object goes out of scope.
I agree with Ante Meridian. However, rather than implementing a Stop() method, it is common convention to implement Dispose(). This function is explicitly called to indicate "I'm finished with this object, so do what you must to release internal resources
now, rather than waiting for the garbage collector. Moreover, Dispose() is automatically called if it is used inside a
using statement, as in the following example:
using (MyTimer timer = new MyTimer)
timer.Start ();
// Do stuff here
timer.Stop ();
} // timer.Dispose() automatically called when leaving scope

My motor receives data via a serial connection, but it won't move. What am I doing wrong?

Hello everyone,
as the title says, I am trying to use a motor called "MP285" by Sutter Instruments via LabView. The control unit of this motor only has a RS232-output, but I use a Serial-to-Usb-Adapter to connect the device to the PC.
My problem is the following:
I tried to perform a basic Input/Output test by using the Ni MAX an sending ASCII strings to the control unit (after configuring it according to the reference manual), which worked fine. I also used the "jabber"-function of the control unit to send an output string to the PC and was also able to read that string from the buffer. Besides, when I used a LabView-VI to send a command via VISA Write, it also appears on the display of the control (at least the ASCII letters).
Accordingly, I assume that the Serial-to-USB-adapter does work. Is that for sure, or can the adapter evoke any other problems?
However, when I try to use the shipped controlling software, the motor won't work. Furthermore, I contacted the customer support and they sent me some VIs and a LabView-Project, which was tested by the company. Unfortunately, it did not work for me. The motor wouldn't move, when I sent the command, although the LabView-interface indicates that there the connection between PC and controller has been established. As the program has many features and I only need a command to move the motor, read the position and set the origin, I tried to build my own VI. I had a look at some basic VIs for motor control and referred to the manual.
As it seems, the controller uses data streams of full bytes (8 bits, not ASCII) in Big Endian for its strings (I copied the information at the bottom of this text). Thus, I tried to concatenate particular strings to send it via VISA in the correct form (see attached). Do I have to convert the "m" into hexadecimal explcitly? I looked up "Convert ASCII to Hexadecimal", but when I try this, the output string does not change.
However, when I send this string to the controller in normal mode, nothing happens . When I activate the Input/Ouput test (see above), there is a m displayed on the controller unit. So I guess, I am messing up the command structure. Can anybody help me please?
Kind regards
PS: Sorry for cleaning up the diagramm..
PPS: For some reason, I could not attach the VI because " The contents of the attachment doesn't match its file type". So, I changed the name in "-vi" instead of ".vi" as suggested by a forum user. Hope this works for you!
Excerpt form the reference manual:
General Information:
"Command requests are single bytes followed by optional parameters and terminated by a
carriage return (CR, 0Dh). The data stream consists of full bytes (all 8 bits — not ASCII.
The lowest order byte (for example, of the four bytes encoding the X coordinate) is the first
into the controller and is the first out. The default Baud rate is 9600. Commands are
processed bytewise by interrupt and executed only after the terminating CR is received.
There are no delimiters within command strings. The controller will reply with carriage
return (CR, 0Dh) at the completion of normal command processing."
Command structure:
Get Current Position      command ‘c’CR 063h + 0Dh
                                           returns xxxxyyyyzzzzCR three signed long (32-bit) integers + 0Dh
Go To Position                 command ‘m’xxxxyyyyzzzzCR 06Dh + three signed long (32-bit) integers + 0Dh
                                            returns CR 0Dh
Setting up for Serial Communication:
First, use the 9-pin serial port cable provided with the MP-285 to connect the “serial port” of
your computer to that of the MP-285 controller. Next configure your terminal emulator (e.g.,
HyperTerminal in Microsoft Windows (9X and above) to the following settings (or their
equivalent):
• TTY mode
• Echo typed characters locally only (do not echo input to the computer serial port back to
the controller)
• Baud rate to 9600
• 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit
• COM port - set to the port to which you have connected the MP-285 controller
Solved!

Thank you for your feedback!
To make this clear: I dont know if the motor MOVES when sending the appropriate command via MAX. That is because I dont know how to enter the binary? command. I only tried to send some string like "dear moto please move" to see if this ASCII string can be displayed on the control unit while running the input-mode (which I described above).
This works for both, MAX and my Labview-Vi.
However, these are the I/O traces:
1. MAX: I sent the string: "Test"
NI I/O trace:

Export from PDF to Excel continually times out and fails.

I went through the steps to convert a PDF to Excel turning off the OCR feature. Tried this several times today with or without OCR and I keep getting the error message "Adobe ExportPDF could not successfully export your PDF file (file name).pdf. The conversion of your uploaded PDF timed out."
I don't think I'm doing anything wrong as there are not too many steps to follow.
If I can't get this to do what is expected (which is convert a .pdf to an Excel file) then I will have to cancel the subscription. I just did sign up for a paid subscription to Adobe ExportPDF. There are others in my department (45 total) who would benefit from having a .pdf to Excel file converter and I have volunteered to become the "beta tester" for this.
If anyone has any ideas as to why this is happening, I'd sure love to hear them.

You are not talking about Acrobat, but ExportPDF. Check for the separate forum on that by simply selecting the Adobe Community link near the top of this forum and in the drop down box select ExportPDF.

Try rebooting the iPad as well. You might be getting an inaccurate reading and rebooting might clear that up.
Reboot 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.
