When I attempt to download update or purchases, I get message that the network timed out but I'm still connected to the internet. What does that mean?

When I attempt to download new updates or purchases to my ipod touch generation 3, it starts to download, then gives me the message that the network has timed out and I need to check the connection. I don't understand this because each time I have an active internet connection. Any idea why this is happening?

Disable your firewall/security software and try again.

I can't download anything my purchase and get message that says I don't have write access in itunes

I am trying to downlaod music from itunes for the first time and get an error message iTunes couldn't download your purchase. You don't have write access for your iTunes Media folder or a folder within it. Change permissions in the finder and then choose store check for available downloads.
I have done all of this ... made sure that they are writeable and still having problems. Any suggestions would help. Thanks!

check if you have read & write permissions for your music folder. in the finder, right-click on it and get info. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings if necessary. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and apply to enclosed items like so
the important part is to apply to enclosed items !

App store shows incorrect apple id when i attempt to download updates.

app store shows incorrect apple id when i attempt to download updates. I have tried signing out of iTunes in the settings and re-logging in as suggested but this didn't fix the problem in the app store

Sorry, but didn't see anything there that would help me precisely. Thanks for your input. my apple ID is my email address which ends in .net. My apple ID listed on the app update ends in .com. I've confirmed in the settings/store area and it's correct there. I'm still at a loss.

When i try to download music from dilandau i get message from safari as 'undefined'

when i try to download music from dilandau i get message from safari as 'undefined'. Pl help

I was going to check that site; however, since I got a red "not trustworthy" from WOT, I decided not to put my Mac at risk going to a questionable site. I'd recommend not going there; instead, do the right thing: buy the music from a reputable site.

Guys, every time I download app on iPhone, i get message that "your user id has been disabled''

guys, every time I download app on iPhone, i get message that "your user id has been disabled'

That is exactly what happened to me! I wrote to Apple and they informed me that my account had been disabled because somebody had made a complaint that their credit card had been used to buy stuff on my account without their consent thus my account was disabled and it was a permanant thing. They suggested I set up a new Id, explained I could still use my apps but would not be able to update them. I wrote back to them explaining that there was no way I would have done such a thing, that I felt that I was being penalised over something I had not control over and I had bought my apps in good faith expecting to be able to update them as required. I also pointed out that a little while ago I found that my account had suddenly changed to a USA based one so that I had reset it and the password along with the credit card attached to it. I didn't really think much about it but now I wonder if I had been hacked.
I did get a very nice email back saying that they would investigate but having waited a few days I just got an email from a supervisor saying they had closed the account, there would be no further information given and I could look at their terms and conditions. I haven't been even been told what apps were supposedly bought through my account to see if there has been a genuine mix-up with credit cards through the banking system. I feel somewhat besmirched by the whole affair; I would never do anything illegal or misuse my account but despite being a loyal Apple customer who has promoted their products at every given opportunity, both professionally and socially, I have been summararily dismissed without being given the chance to defend myself or my reputation.

When I try to turn on Home Sharing, I get the message: "Home Sharing could not be turned on because of an error (5506)." What does this mean please?!

I had the same error it was due to a program called Little Snitch, it's somewhat like a firewall. I changed the settings in Little Snitch to allow network connections in iTunes and now I can enable Home Sharing. Maybe you should try changing some firewall settings.

I keep trying to download ios5 but it keeps saying my network timed out but network is fine any ideas

having trouble downloading ios5 keep getting error saying network timed out but network is fine

Hello Nitadoo,
u can make a new id and password by going to apple.com and clicking on the forgot id and forgot password button in login.
also u can go to a nearby apple store and tell them that u want a new apple id and password
maybe they'll even help u to retrieve ur old apple id and password
HOPE THIS'LL BE HELPFUL

Temporarily turn off your antivirus and firewall software while you do the update.

When I attempt to download an add on, I get a message that I need to install FF first

I have a dozen add ons that work well. When I try to download another, I get the above message. I'm accessing the site using FF. I've tried re-downloading FF, but the same thing keeps happening.
The same issue happened to me in late 2015, but things were OK in early January. Now the issue is back.

I'm using Android. I wouldn't imagine any of the add ons do. They are the same ones I've had for a long time except for the Seahawks logo persona.
I use Adblock Plus, Enable YouTube Player, Flash Video Player YouTube, Ghostery, OpenH264 codec, PDF viewer (disabled, want to reinstall), Phony (used as Android mobile), Privacy Coach, Quit Now, Self - Destructing Cookies, and the Seattle Seahawks one.

When I attempt to download update or purchases, I get message that the network timed out but I'm still connected to the internet. What does that mean?
