  • Why does my network connection time out when downloading iphone 4 software update?

    Why does my network connection time out when trying to download iphone4 software update?

    I'm having the same problem too. I cannot sync or update over wireless or wired connections ever since I installed the most recent iTunes update. iTunes goes through the complete OS 5.0.1 download only to tell me the connection has timed out just when it seems ready to install. I've since reinstalled iTunes, I've ejected and done hard restarts on both my problem devices. I've disabled anti-virus, anti-malware, and firewall. No change in outcome except that, after doing all this, my final attempt to simply sync my 1st Gen iPad led to iTunes crashing and being automatically closed by windows just before finishing the final step. Is this a cruel joke, because I'm certain I can hear iTunes laughing at me for wasting so much time on this.

  • I get a network connection timed out when I try to restore my ipod touch and I know connection is fine

    My daughter forgot her password on touch.  We have tried to restore, but after 6 or 7 minutes we get a connection timedout error message and it says to try again later.  I turned off firewalls, but that did not help.  Any suggestions?

    Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and restore usually resolves that problem.

  • Network connection time out when connecting to Itunes store

    When I try to connect to Itunes store i get this message:
    "Itunes could not connect to iTuens sore network connection has times out Make sure your network connection is active and your network setting are correct"
    Can some one walk me through or link me to a site or discussion so i can get this fixed

    I had the same problem several days with the AppStore. Software-downloads did not proceed, i tryed everything, shut down firewalls, change the host-file, disable proxy-server - no success.
    I have Kaspersky-Suite as firewall and anti-virus-software.
    Accidentially I find a solution:
    - select in iTunes at downloads "Proceed" of a download-entry . iTunes then connect with the server, so it is enough time to:
    - right-click on the windows-tray-symbol of Kaspersky and select "stop service" (something like that, i work with the german version).
    Now, surprise, the download proceed and starts working again. In case the download is freezing again:
    - Reactivea Kaspersky-service with right-click as described above, then deactive the serve again as i described.
    Seems this "Workaround" opens a door to an network-connection Kaspersky usually block by itself.
    Shutdown the firewall and finishing the Firewall-Software is a good idea, but you never know, which process is running in the background despite you shutdown everything possible...
    Hope the "solution" is working for you!

  • HT4528 network connection time out

    Whenever i am trying to sync applications from latop to iphone i am getting the message. Network connection time out.

    Not sure if this will help or not... but is the iPhone and your laptop on the same wireless network when you try this? Does that wireless network have a good connection?
    If nothing else works... try hard-syncing (plugging in) your iPhone to your laptop, and then start up iTunes.
    I hope this helps... let me know if it does/doesn't!

  • HT201210 i keep getting a error msg saying network connection time out.

    Im trying to updat my iphone to new software and keep getting a error msg saying network connection times out. Plz help!!!!

    Thank you for the reply.
    Yes, this error message is in regard to my MacBook Pro.  The reason it's filed here under iPhone is because the error message appeared again when I tried to updae iOS, again (and I wasn't allowed to because I need more room on my Startupdisk), so I simply clicked on the link taking me here to Apple Communities.   And yes I have already empited my trash (I did this each time I cleared old docs off my compuer, so this wasn't a solution for today).  
    Might you have any other ideas?   I am really at a loss......
    Also, where is the Startup disk located?  I can't find any folder labeled "startup disk".   Am I supposed to find this folder and delete files from it?

  • Internet connection times out when downloading update ios5. get to last 0.01 of date, says processing file and then says connection timed out. impossible. is there a fix?

    Internet connection times out when downloading update ios5. get to last 0.01 of data, says processing file and then says connection timed out. Is there a fix?
    I am using itunes 10.5. Update didnt work on last software but restore did work. Help

    After two days of attempts, Google & Apple searches, one Apple post stated to turn off all firewalls and virus software and keep trying since there were 6 gazillion people trying to update.  I have Windows 7 & Kaspersky and had to diable every single safety feature in Kaspersky as well as Firewalls and it finally allowed the download and update attempt. 
    Glancing at the forum, there appears to be numerous other problems with missing pictures, text problems etc after the IOS5 download but fortuneately, everything seems ok so far.  Good luck, it is frustrating!  Hattie47

  • When I try to update my iPod Touch, I get an error message regarding my network connection, and it will not update. Any suggestions?

    When I try to update my iPod Touch, I get an error message saying "The iPod Software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." Has anyone else had that and how do you end up updating your iPod?

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

    iphoto times out when I try to add a photo to my hotmail account

    No once you get the selection window and select photos ==> iPhoto then it is an iPhoto issue
    ust to confirm if you launch iPhoto everything is O? As a work around select the photo(s) and export (file menu ==> export) to a desktop folder and attach to your e-mail from there and then delete the folder

  • TS3694 Why am I getting error code 3194 when i try to restore my ipod?

    Why am I getting error code 3194 when I try to restore my ipod touch 4th generation

    This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.  For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
    Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.
