What does connection timeout mean

when i go to wifi and find my wifi ill put in my password when iam done i press enter then it loads and after it loads it says connection timeout

A 'time-out' implies your internet application, connection, settings, wires, router, or wireless card may be there, gets power, but does not necessarily have the correct configuration to fully work. So at some point, the system determines there is no network connetion and stops looking.
In the System Preferences> Network is where many settings & choices hide; also some settings are available via the AirPort icon on the menu bar, where you could choose to try & join 'another network' that may even be your own, successfully in some cases, even if the other methods fail.
If your computer is running OS X 10.5 and has not been updated with the Leopard 10.5.8 Combo download, it should be; this may help fix the system, and also after installing the Combo, use Disk Utility to repair disk permissions on the startup volume Mac hard drive. You could also use the Help viewer in OS X to look up answers to Wi-Fi setup questions, parts of the help system work offline, some parts look for internet.
Troubleshooting the wi-fi network can be a time consuming task; sometimes just resetting the base station or router, or the cable internet box, or other ISP hardware can help. Knowing what works in your system configuration, locations, and other settings (and passwords, etc) helps to get past issues.
However, the Combo update for Leopard is recommended. It stands a fair chance at helping fix issues.
Good luck & happy computing!

What does this message mean Charging is not supported with this device?

What does this message mean Charging is not supported with this device?

You've gotten 2 good answers already, but there's a key assumption in both that you got the message when connecting the iPhone to some other device. If this is the case you can get an adapter in the Apple online store that will allow charging from older devices.
If, however, this message appears when you are not connected to anything the problem is dirt or moisture in the dock connector at the bottom of the phone. Clean it with a dry toothbrush or air blast.

What does this message mean? : "The file name "DSC_0088.jpg" is offline or missing." ?

What does this message mean? : "The file name "DSC_0088.jpg" is offline or missing." I am in the process of importing photos from iPhoto (don't really know what I'm doing....) and when I look at one of the imported photos that message pops up. I know what "DSC_0088.jpg" is. I don't know what it means that the file is "missing".

CASpyr,
Thank you so much for your reply. I have a couple of bigger issues that I am dealing with: too many photos on my laptop: 40,000! (Of course I have to throw away many of them, but that is time consuming). I have a MacBook Pro and have primarily used IPhoto. I have recently purchased 2 external drives and have transferred my photos to those, but I need a basic education about how photos are stored, copied, etc. I have recently been told that iPhoto only shows and deals with jpegs, not RAW. About 1/3 of my photos are RAW, so I purchased Lightroom, so I could do more with those RAW photos. I have been told by my local Mac store that I need to delete most of my photos from iPhoto, because it's causing problems. I am reluctant to do so until I am sure that all of the keywords, descriptions and editing I have done to these photos is not lost when deleted from iPhoto. I just watched a tutorial about importing to Lightroom and got out of it that I needed to copy photos from iPhoto to a file on my desktop and then copy to Lightroom. I did that, it seemed to work. Then (because of my storage/memory issues) I deleted the photos (just a few as an experiment) from that desktop file. I'm guessing that is why Lightroom doesn't recognize the the photos. It seems that (learned from another tutorial) that one uses "Add" , Lightroom is only connecting to the source of the photo, not actually copying it to the program. Sounds like I need to use the "Move" feature instead. My ultimate goal is to store the photos on the 2 external drives and eliminate most of them from my lapop. So my basic questions have to do with what data (metadata??) is copied from iPhoto to an external drive (RAW???) and what isn't copied. Basic understanding issues,obviously…. I hope this isn't too much to ask. If you can recommend a book or resource that can explain those basic issues to me I'd appreciate it. I just got back from a trip and I can't download my new photos until I manage the rest!
Thanks,
Nancy

What does error 0x80092013 mean?

Hello shanejon,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694#2
Configure your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
Have a nice day,

I am connecting to an Oracle8 DB, but it seems tat i have problem connecting to it and retrieving record from the database. Can anyone help me how to establish a connection to my Oracle DB??
Need help urgently. thanx.!

have you tried simple jdbc connection?
Driver drv = Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(oracle:jdbc:thin:@myhost:1521:instance, "usrname", "password");
If this works you're able to connect! so check that your oracel datasource is well specified in your deploiement descriptor and that your bean references this datasource.
hope it helps

It just means that a TCP connection failed. Nothing to worry about, it can be caused by many things.

HT4623 what does "renew lease" mean in the wifi settings?

cannot connect to office internet. it has connected before and all other Apple products are connected
want to know what VPN is
also what does "renew lease" means.

VPN is "Virtual Private Network" which are settings set by your IT professionals that will tell your iPad how to log into your network and become "Part" of your business network. This way if you are at home and for security reasons there are things you need to do and need to be at a computer in the office, you could be at home and your iPad would be part of the office network as if you logged in at your office.
When you renew your lease, you are basically telling your iPad to search for a new IP address on the network. Throughout times your ISP may change you IP address when the lease runs up on an IP address. When this is done, most times your router and modem will automatically update "renew" this address, and ocassionally need you to manually do this. Renewing this lease, does just that, it updates the address information so you can start to properly get information as needed from the network.
