Most of the times your security software is the cause for the network time out: iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues

How can I download iphone software 5 when I keep getting this error message: There was a problem downloading the s/w for the iphone ...The network connection timed out. It's error 3259

I keep getting an error message saying my network connection has timed out when I try to download the iphone 5 software to my iphone 4 while it's connected to my laptop. Then it says make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. The download gets all the way to the end (takes about an hour mind you), and keeps timing out. It's error 3259. FYI, I have the latest version of iTunes.

Security software on your computer/router is the usual cause of this. Turn off/disable or uninstall all anti-virus software & firewalls. Try again.

Restore error message: "There was a problem downloading the iPod software"

I am trying to restore my iPod and keep getting this message when I try: "There was a problem downloading the iPod software for the iPod "iPod". The requested resource was not found." HELP! What do I do next???

Hi BigIRv,
Actually, a "requested resource" error message (which I believe you are getting) most of the time has to do with iTunes having a problem with connecting to your iPod, rather than the iPod software update server (although a more rare possibility of this error message could occur in that sense).
See my post here, which contains a couple of things to try if you have that error message:

When updating my devices, I get the following message: There was a problem downloading for the iPhone. the network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active or try again later

When updating each of my devices (iPhones and iPads) in iTunes, i always get the same error message
"there was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone "Mary's iPhone" The network connection timed out.
Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active or try again later

This is common and there are literally hundreds of posts about this exact error.
Temporarily disable any Anti-Virus and Firewall software on the computer.

I have an old iPhone 3Gs with software version 4.3.5, I am trying to use it again, and it works fine, but I have not been able to update the software. Every time I try, I get the following message:
"there was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone, the network connection could not be established". This happens even though I have a working internet connection.
Besides that, all the other functions work properly, even synchronize apps and library.
Will I be able to update the software?

Well, if you want or need help, it would be a good idea to start with telling us what those errors are. We're not mind readers.

This might just be a typical Mountain Lion network glitch..
Reboot the TC.. that is usually enough to fix it.
Otherwise restart the whole network from off.. Reboot items in correct order.
Modem.. TC.. computer. 2min gap.
Tell us if that doesn't fix it.

Error message: There was a problem connecting to MobilMe. The request timed out.

I've never had an account with MobilMe. MobilMe is not listed as an account in iPhoto. All software on iMac is up to date. I'm running OSX 10.6.8. While working in iPhoto, editing or trying to upload photos to FaceBook from iPhoto I get the error message: There was a problem connecting to MobileMe. The request has timed out.
For some reason iPhoto wants to communicate with MobilMe, even though I've never had an account.
I worked with ExpressLane (case # 231899367) thinking it was a MobilMe issue). It was a dead end. Any suggestions to remedy this annoyance would be appreciated. Thanks. ILIJA.

Strange, I got this error for the first time last night. I have a 27" iMac (late 2010 model); with latest Aperture. I recently added a Flickr account (have had a Facebook account on there for some time). I was uploading some to my flickr account, and noticed that even though the "use actual size" setting was used, it was uploading tiny thumbnails and not the full version.
It was after this, that I got that error. I haven't tried it again, as I'm now on my macbook at work. Will try again tonight.
I've also, NEVER had a .mac account, so no possibility of it being a legacy account.

Curve 9300 error message: there was a problem during installation. Please try again when using app world

hi
I have a curve 9300 using os 6 and the latest app world 2.1.1.. something
when i try to download apps it initiates the download then after a couple of seconds after starting it shows the error message "there was a problem during installation. Please try again"
i have tried ALL the suppourt forums (KB26671 and KB30074) and suggestions/threads and called my network but none have worked.
these were reinstallign app world, making a new blackberry id as the other email address was associated with an old blackberry, security wiping the phone then restoring it and entering the new bb id, changing the date to 2014 and then hard wiping the phone and restoring it
i have twitter, facebook and bbm ect apps but these are RIM made i think and already preinstalled. everything else on the phone works fine
i have tried both wifi and network internet and battery pull
i really dont know what else to try or who else to contact to fix it. very annoying paying for a service you cant even use!
any help or more ideas would be great!
thanks

Hello carckberrypie,
In this case i would recommend wiping the BlackBerry smartphone. To do this we would need to back up the BlackBerry smartphone http://bit.ly/aSediX
Once backed up please follow the link below to perform a security wipe of your BlackBerry smartphone.

Test the BlackBerry smartphone and proceed with a selective restore as outlined below.
