Updating version to 5 in pc window 7 - the network connection timed out?

i tried updating my iphone versin to 5 by itunes. i have pc with windows 7, after few minutes it stoped and igot the note "network connection timed out"
please help.

That usually means that security software, running on your computer, is interfering with the update/restore process. So, disable or uninstall ALL anti-virus software & firewalls. Try again.

Most of the times your security software is the cause for the network time out: iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues

Hi christeag,
The only thing I can identify as an issue is that your Windows Firewall is running and iTunes is not enabled in it, so this may be the source of your issue. Here is an article for you that will help you rectify this situation:

Finally found a solution:
For PC users, before reinstalling, try this:
Start-> Programs -> Accessories -> (Right Click On Command Prompt) ->Run as Administrator
then type in:
netsh winsock reset
hit enter, restart PC, open iTunes. Hopefully fixed.

Can not update iphone firmware using iTunes "The network connection timed out"

Hello,
I can not update the iphone firmware using iTunes.
Messagte displayed
"There was a problem downloading the software fo the iPhone. The network connection timed out.
Also seen stopped error -3259
I have run network connectivity tests from iTunes and All Tests passed.
Can anyone help?
Thank you,
Joan

Did you make sure it was the exact file for your device and the latest version? I just downloaded the latest file for my iPhone4, put it in the folder I mentioned above and it ran the install versus downloading the file. This problem where it times out after downloading is a big Bug within iTunes that has been there ever since IOS 7.0 was released. I wished these apple developers would just fix iTunes. There are a ton of complaints about this issue. I sure miss Steve Jobs running this business, I really feel like it's gone down hill after he left.
I hope this helps!

"The network connection timed out" Update/Restore using iTunes

Can anyone help with this problem. Ever since IOS 7.0 was released, iTunes is so broken when it comes to updating the software or restoring iPhones. Everytime I try to restore or update I get the error "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. The network connection timed out." after waiting for the 20min download. For one thing there is nothing wrong with my network connection it's fine, I cannot access the itunes store the whole nine yards, it's just when I need to update or restore the phone. It takes 20 mins to download then it gives me this stupid error. I have tried everything I've seen on the forum that others have tried with disabling virus scanners and other 3rd party software and nothing! The funny thing is, it happens on every computer in the house, even my Mac notebook, so it seems like it's tracking the Baja network connection, but I don't have any problems with anything else we are using, it's just with iTunes. We were using OpenDNS, so I removed that from the router and I still have the some problem. Does anyone know a way around this problem. I am so ready to bail on apple products. Frustrating....
I would appreicate any help in resolving this problem....
Tnx

Hi Robertfrom Denver.
Did you try the solution given, and if yes, did it work?
I have done several "attempted downloads, and see the full file download, typically taking 30 minutes to complete, and then something goes wrong.
I am happy to suspend AV and FW software, but would like to know if it is a good fix or not first?

Temporarily disable your firewall and security software and see if that helps.

When updating my IPAD I get a message saying: The network connection timed out.h

When trying to update IPAD, got a message saying "There was a problem downloading the software for the IPAD. The network connection timed out".
My connection has been tested and there are no problems.

Try temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed. if that doesn't work then try downloading the update via a browser : https://discussions.apple.com/message/16436025#16436025
