  • Keep getting "network timed out" message when trying to download tv shows -

    Howdy all!
    For two days I've been trying to fix a problem: when I go to the Itunes store and buy tv shows (CSI, Battlestar Gallatica) I can buy them, start the download, but after a minute all of the downloads stall and I get the error message "network timed out" "error 3259"). However, I can download podcasts at lightning speed, and my connection is very high. the error message said there was a problem with the itunes store.
    I deleted itunes several times, reinstalled, went through and deleted all the old files, reinstalled, and tried several times. Each time I get the same message
    The itunes store says: "Hey, you bought this, but unsuccessfully downloaded it before. want to try again?"
    and each time it fails.

    I tried to see if the problem was with the itunes store - I bought a song and it downloaded in seconds. I then went to the tv shows section and tried to download a "free" tv show - and got the same message. So in this case, the error only seems to be with downloading tv shows.
    I'm at my wit's end - don't know what to do.

  • I get a 'application timed out' message when trying to download the new iOS

    How do I extend the time it takes for download before the application times out?

    Tried that and it seemed to be helping, but I was only able to get up to about 300 MB downloaded before it timed out again.

  • Tried to reinstall OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.4 and every time i start with the installation i get a requested time out message, had to shut down my MacBook Pro retina. Now when i start up it automatically start internet recovery

    tried to reinstall OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.4 and every time i start with the installation i get a requested time out message, had to shut down my MacBook Pro retina. Now when i start up it automatically start internet recovery for two ouers. After the internet recovery the same problem with reinstalling OSX message

    Gave up on the GUI.  This script derived from http://blog.netnerds.net/2012/07/os-x-how-to-setup-nat-on-lion-and-mountain-lion / seems to work for me:

  • HT6147 I keep getting a error message when trying to download the update. I have charged the iPad etc

    Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11.1.5) Installed on your computer
    iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download

  • I keep getting ' user not register for online ' when trying to get track names for my CD imports for Windows 7

    I keep getting ' user not register for online ' when trying to get track names for my CD imports for Windows 7 and I'm unable to find a solution.

    I can't be certain exactly which steps are going to be needed in each case, but if you work through this in sequence hopefully one of the steps will prove effective.
    First try this:
    With iTunes closed.
    Press the WinLogoKey+R
    Type in %appdata% and press return
    Double click on Apple Computer
    Double click on iTunes
    Delete the file CD Info.cidb
    Start iTunes and try again.
    If that doesn't work close iTunes and try deleting com.apple.iTunes.Gracenote.plist in the same folder.
    If that doesn't work close iTunes and try deleting iTunesPrefs.xml. This will reset your some of your preferences in iTunes so be sure to check them and reset as required.
    If that still hasn't resolved things close iTunes and try deleting the entire %appdata%\Apple Computer folder or look for parallel files/folders in the C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local or C:\Users\<User>\AppData\LocalLow in case a corrupt file is persisting there.
    Note that any iOS device backups are stored in the MobileSync folder within Apple Computer. Once things are working you should backup your devices again as soon as possible.
    Or it might not be the preference files after all...
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • ITunes shows time out error when trying to play on Airport Express.

    Time out error when trying to play on Airport Express. This started with an iTunes update, problems has to be with iTunes, Airport Express appears to be communicating fine, even shows when speakers are not connected.

    Same here, though on XP. Have tried cleaning registry, reinstalling, deleting preferences. Created a new user with no library and I have the problem there, too, so it's not the library.
    Is there no one to call about this??

    Post subject: NSURLErrorDomain error -1100 in OS X 10.8
    If you check for software updates using the App Store in OS X 10.8 and get "NSURLErrorDomain error -1100" the problem may be with your Software Update preferences. This is particularly likely if you were using a custom Apple Software Update server. To solve the problem, quit the App Store, move the following two files (if present) to the trash, restart, and only then rerun App Store updates:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.lockfile

    I was recently trying to upgrade to mountain lion through the app store.  I have unreliable Internet from a cable company whom I will not name, but we all know who they are.  My Internet dropped while downloading the upgrade.  Once I went through the notorious unplug the modem/router and plugged it back in to gain Internet connectivity again, I could not resume. No matter what I did, the app store kept displaying "an error occurred." I am hoping that those with the same issue read this first to save them hours of skimming through the Internet to find a solution.  Here are the steps to take:
    1. Make sure you have reestablished Internet connection
    2. Chances are you got frustrated when you tried to resume/unpause the download and clicked the "X" to the left.  If so, select the "Store" drop-down menu from the App Store and select "View My Account." There should be an option to unhide your purchase.  You know what to do.
    3. There is also an option to  reset all warnings for buying and downloading under "View My Account." Do this, click "Done," sign out of the App Store and quit the App Store.
    4. Open the Preferences in safari and select Privacy.  Select "Remove All Website Data."  Just do it.
    5. Launch the app store and sign in.
    6. Now, if you "Check for Unfinished Downloads" everything works peachy.
    I hope this helps.  Not much I can do for your Internet connection though.

  • I get a connection timed out error when trying to connect to the itunes store, if I have pending downloads they show up and I can download, also I was able to access my account, yet I can't access other parts of the store, I am in greece on a macbook pro

    I am from the states and am in Greece on vacation.  I have a good wifi connection yet keep getting a connection timed out error when I try to access the itunes store.  It is funny because pending downloads show up in the cue, and they download no problem.  I can also open my account.  When I try to go the the movies or music section of the stor though it just times out.  I tried updating to the latest itunes software and restarting, also I checked all the proxy boxes in the network section of the settings then unchecked them all and restarted and it keeps doing the same thing.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Welcome to AD!
    There's been plenty of posts about Norton & the removal tool here. Unfortunately many folks seem to not even know it comes pre-installed on most PCs! Even a trial version, never used or long since expired can cause problems - and not just with iTunes.
    Anyone with a Dell, HP, Gateway EEE PC, Asus ..... what Windows PC manufacturer does NOT have this junk software pre-installed?
    Almost all of them have made deals with Symantec to pre-install it.
    Horrible, horrible software.
    Anyway, glad you finally solved your problem.

  • Blank screen and time out message when connecting to EC2 via Putty

    successfully installed SP 09 trial version on EC2. when trying to connect to the instance via Putty following all the proper steps in the Guide, after upload of PPK file, all I get is  a black screen with "the session time out" message in 10-15 sec.
    HELP !!!!!- researched everything, trying using elastic fox to ovoid conversion of pem file into ppk . same story there.

    Hello Vynga,
    Thank you for your quick reply.
    Yesterday, I went to the store and bought the exact same cable I used at my friend's place. And voilá, it works perfectly with my monitor. Nontheless, i am still concerned. Although the image and sound are both perfect at the moment, it doesn't seem right that my computer should only work with 1 out of 4 cables. I'm pretty sure something is wrong there.
    And yes, I did check the HDMI port for damage. If something is wrong with it, I cant see it. Also, if the port is damaged, I don't understand why it would work perfectly with one of the cables.
    Sincerely,
    Sebastian

  • User gets an Content Encoding Error message when trying to access workspace

    Hi.
    I've created a workspace and added several users to it who can access it without any issues.
    However, one specific user (Leslie Elstad - https://beehiveonline.oracle.com/teamcollab/profiles/[email protected]) can't access her workspaces. She is using Firefox on a Solaris 10 machine.
    Here is what she told me:
    "I clicked on the Start button under Team Workspaces, which took me here:

    Please advise.

    Hi.
    Please let me know what is going on when we add people to a Beehive Online group (Solaris Curriculum).
    People are frequently getting this same error/message when trying to access several workspaces.
    New cases, please help me fix their access:
