The default request timeout is 60 seconds, but you can change it for any URLRequest. In this example, I set the timeout to 15 seconds on an NSMutableURLRequest by calling setTimeoutInterval:

NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:@"http://someurl.com"];

NSMutableURLRequest *urlRequest = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url];
[urlRequest setTimeoutInterval:15.0];

NSError *error;
NSURLResponse *response;
NSData *data = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:urlRequest returningResponse:&response error:&error];

Using NSURLConnection, the timeout is set in the NSURLRequest, and the default in the NSMutableURLRequest request is 60 seconds, and can be changed using the setTimeoutInterval method.
