Unable to update IOS error -3259

This error has been giving me grief for a while. The last update I successfully installed was 4.3.1
I have turned off my kaspersky firewall and the windows firewall
I have tried following http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1601 with no success
I am pulling my hair out over this, i really want to update to IOS5!
Is there any way I can get it to update? It used to update just fine!

If you've tried turning off all firewall and antivirus software and it still doesn't download, then you could try downloading the iPad iOS update via a browser instead :

Configurator is 'Unable to Update iOS". Error 11 (Preflight options copy fail)

I'm attempting to restore 720 iPads to factory settings, and place a Configurator profile on them.
I'm using a Bretford Cart that holds up to 30.
Everytime I run configurator, it's unable to update iOS, and it specifically says that It "failed to copy preflight options during recovery mode restore. Error 11."
Half of them work, and are done correctly, and the other half give the error.
Some of the iPads are on iOS 5, I'm sure, considering the amount of iPads that I'm dealing with. Could this be the issue?
What am I doing wrong?

It's been a while, but I think I had to finally completely reset all of them to factory settings, and run them through the entire system again.
It could be the cart (and configurator) having a problem applying settings to multiple OS installs. I'd put my money on this being the issue.

Unable to update ios apps in itunes 11.0.3

Since the update to version 11.0.3, I am unable to figure out how to update iOS apps in iTunes.
It shows that there are updates available but the button to update the apps is now missing.
Does anyone know what happened and how to fix that? It is really annoying to me that it's gone.
Thanks.

There is an "updates" tab on top where you see other options for your application for categorisation such as "All", iPAD..

I phone 4 update with error -3259

I have been trying to update my iphone 4 for the past few weeks - it gets all the way to the end then errors with an err -3259. I have removed firewalls, reinstalled itunes, reconfigured things it suggested on the computer. I have also noticed that forever it has not been adding my apps to itunes, it is always copying all the apps over and over with each sync. It will eventually sync what I want but it takes 4-5 times to get it done successfully. I also have 3 movies I want to sync but it will only sync one of those. Can someone please help me out on what I can do about the err message at least? I have contacted HP and they say it's an appl issue, I try to contact Apple and they say I have to pay...... Can I delete Itunes and start over but lose all my apps and movies, etc???
thank you for your time!!

There is an alternate method in this thread that you can try if you are unable to locate and disable all of your AV/AS software:

Updating iOS: Errors 3014 and -1

I'm trying to update the iOS on my iPhone 4 and got error 3014. I took off the security firewall, made sure the iTunes software was up to date, made sure the windows firewall was off, ran the iTunes network diagnostics (showing green lights for everything) and still I get the error (changed to -1). Why does Apple make everything so torturous? Even finding help on iTunes is made difficult by hiding the menu bar (revealed by that easy to guess key combination Ctrl-b). At the very least, an operating system update should restore the old OS in the event of failure, but Apple in their wisdom leaves you stranded with a dead iPhone and no obvious options to fix the problem. Help please!

Error 3014
This error occurs when iTunes is unable to reach gs.apple.com in a timely fashion. Follow the steps below inUnable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com.
Error -1
Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.

I am unable to update ios new version as it is asking for passcode. I am trying to submit the password, it is not accepting on my iphone5S

Currently using iOS 7.1.1
For longtime trying to update to 7.1.2
I am unable to install it, as it is asking me for Passcode.
Is passcode different from my Apple ID Password?
I tried to put the pass word, it gives me failure notification
Because of this also changed Apple ID Pass word recently

The Passcode is NOT the password for your Apple ID, the Passcode is the four digit number you enter to unlock your phone after it has auto locked.

HT4528 I have an Iphone 5s and I have a notice to do a software update. When I click to update it says "Unable to Update, an error occured while checking for a software update". This has been going on for 3 wks. I have shut my phone off, and turned it

I have an Iphone 5s and it says i have a Software update. However, it will not update. I have rebooted my phone and it hasn't helped. Any suggestions?

Hello bdollbarnes,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to update your iPhone. I recommend the following steps:
Download takes a long time, or you can't reach update server
iOS updates require a persistent Internet connection, and the time it takes to download the update will vary according to the size of the update and your Internet speed. You can use your device normally while downloading the iOS update, and iOS will notify you when you can install the update. To improve the speed of the download, avoid downloading other content.
If you get a message that "an error occurred downloading iOS," try again later. If the issue persists, try updating your device in another network or use iTunes to update your device. Learn more about iOS updates.

Unable to update Photoshop - Error code U44M1P7

I have Photoshop CS6 installed through Creative Cloud on Mac OSX 10.8.3. Photoshop says it is running 13.0.4 x64. The Creative Cloud updater indicates that there is an update available to 13.1.2, however whenever I try to update, the update fails with error code U44M1P7. I searched the forums and have seen several references to this error, but I haven't seen a good method for resolving the error. What steps can I take to resolve this problem and still have my Photoshop installation configured correctly with all my current settings and plugins.
Thanks.
Jim

So I ended up uninstalling, cleaning and reinstalling. After the installation I checked for updates. I managed to install the 13.1.2 update to Photoshop CS6, but the updates for Adobe Bridge CS6, Photoshop Camera Raw 7 and Adobe Extension Manager CS6 failed. The log file had this to say about Camera Raw:
04/21/13 14:44:44:385 | [WARN] | | OOBE | DE | | | | 4959771 | DW050: The following payload errors were found during install:

04/21/13 14:44:44:385 | [WARN] | | OOBE | DE | | | | 4959771 | DW050: - Photoshop Camera Raw 7_7.4_AdobeCameraRaw7.0All: Install failed
For Bridge:
04/21/13 14:51:19:454 | [WARN] | | OOBE | DE | | | | 4987621 | DW050: The following payload errors were found during install:

And for Extension Manager
04/21/13 14:51:35:526 | [WARN] | | OOBE | DE | | | | 4988349 | DW050: The following payload errors were found during install:
04/21/13 14:51:35:526 | [WARN] | | OOBE | DE | | | | 4988349 | DW050: - Adobe Extension Manager CS6_6.0.5_AdobeExtensionManager6.0All: Install failed
I don't use Bridge that often so that isn't a big deal. Camera Raw is a bigger deal, although most of the time I use Lightroom.
