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.

Why do my network connections time out when I try to update my iPod?

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 downloading Iphone software update (version 4.0), I get error message

When downloading Iphone software update (version 4.0), I get error message (stopped err = -3259). Is there a solution for this???

Did anyone solve this?
I'm still having this issue. I also had the same issue when trying to download a large update for an app (43MB). I can download and install smaller udpates but I can't even download the large updates. I've checked all of my firewall settings and they are fine. I've turned off the firewall when trying to download the update and it still does not work. It just keeps saying that my network connection timed out.
I'm not at the stage where I can't install new apps because it requires the latest OS version on my iphone which I can't get!

ITunes network connection timing out when downloading

*When I try to download the new software 3.0 for my IPhone 3G, ITunes 8.2.1.6 says the network connection timed out as soon as it is 99% complete.*
It happens every time.
In fact the last time it had downloaded 230.0 MB of 230.1 MB and then gave me the message.
*The STATUS field in the Itune download window says*
*"0 KB of 230.1 MB - stopped (err = -3259)" after the message is given.*
I tried completely uninstalling Itunes and Bonjor est. (all Apple software) and downloaded a new copy and installed it.
I tried turning off my fire wall completely.
None of my other internet accessing software is having any problems.
Please help!!!
Ive had old software on my phone for a long time and this is really aggravating me.

Network Connection Timed Out when downloading from...

I have only had BT broadband for a few months but am regretting it due to the huge number of dropouts I have - lose connection many times daily which is a big pain as I rely on this for my work.
One specific problem that has reared its head recently is if I try to download latest iphone upgrade from Itunes then after about 30 seconds it fails with "Network Connection Timed Out' and the connection breaks. This happens every time I try.
Also sometimes when I access sites I get TCP Network Error.
I know these problems are to do with the BTHub Router because if I switch to using my old Netgear Router which is still running on another line in the house (I need the backup as BT fails so often) then all works fine.
Can anybody help - or should I just throw it all away and try another provider?

Network Connection Timed Out - When downloading updates for IPOD

Just got new ipod, plugged in sync'd ok but when I had to update new version onto ipod, managed to get 3 hours in then with 12 minutes to go it says "network connection timed out" and nothing else - can anyone help? Thanks

Are you on dial up? No way should an ipod update take 3+ hours to download on broadband!

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?

I have now discovered that i cannot update or restore any of my devices

Were those items purchased or downloaded under a different apple ID than what you are logged into on the phone?
