3253 error code, times out Downloads through itunes on mac

I have been trying to download the iphone 4 upgrade and some other larger files like movies through itunes and it is soooo slow and always times out or show an error 3253 message.  I have searched for a remedy but only find things in regards to windows and i'm on my mac. I'm disconnected my modem/router and reconnected, rebooted, etc. but still having problems.  Help! My iphone downloads movies faster than itunes does.  The songs are not a problem.

Changing my DNS settings worked for me (3253 errors on my MBP). I followed the instructions here:

Hope that helps!

  • Error Code (-50) when downloading from iTunes

    Im curious to know if anyone else has received this type of error message before?
    I have never had any problems downloading season pass stuff from iTunes so this is the first time I've ever seen this.  Ive double and triple checked all of my connections and everything is good.  Speed test came back strong and fast so Im wondering if this is more of an apple issue.

    May be this article can be of some help:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
    "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
    These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
    If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
    See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
    Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
    Mac OS X:
 ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.

    Windows Vista:
 \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\

    Windows 7:
 \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\


    Windows XP:
 \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
    Quit iTunes.
    Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password.
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading Digital Copies using Windows:
    Use MSCONFIG (directions for Windows XP and Windows Vista/Windows 7) to disable conflicting software.
    If using MSCONFIG steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict.
    You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to reoccur.
    If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict.

  • HT5052 i am struggling to download new software update for ipad 2 using itune: The problem is that im getting an error saying time out!!! and when i start downloading again it starts from zero!!

    The problem is that im getting an error saying time out!!! and when i start downloading again it starts from zero!!

    Their alternative option is for you to bring it into the store
    You could google and look for some download helpers (presuming they still exist, haven't used them in years) but they're freeware or adware that caches your download to help you recover from timeouts.
    the timeout is possibly caused by your ISP, if they regularly cycle routers or the such it 'burps' your connection  causeing it to cut out.
    You might try taking your laptop to your local library which may have wifi. Or, as the others have suggested, a friend's house with cable internet.

  • Error : 907 invalid COD time out

    Hello, kindly assist me, I like to download series via my browser but lately I cant download when I do it will give me error: 907 invalid COD time out. I use a blackberry curve 7 9320. I cant even use my blackberry world. Please I need help and I have enough Data on my fone to download. Also I use MTN network. Thank you.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
    2) Resend Service Books (pre-BB10 devices only)
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
    3) Reboot
    With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
    Good luck!

  • Every time I download the itunes installation file, it get deleted because it has got a virus... I've turned Norton 360 completely off, but still get the same error???

    Every time I download the itunes installation file, it get deleted because it has got a virus... I've turned Norton 360 completely off, but still get the same error???

    Hello wilsona1234,
    Sorry for the trouble. What is the exact detection from Norton for the installation file? Did you download itunes from the legitimate Apple web site? What is the error you are referring to?
    Thanks,

  • 8g touch updated 4.2.1, problems synching apps and music. gives multiple errors; device times out, internal device errors, network times out, duplicate file, too many files open. itunes diagnostics ok. what to do?

    have an 8g ipod touch which has had problems trying to play games and downloading update 4.2.1. went to the apple store who kindly downloaded the software update but now can't synch and generates multiple error messages; device times out, internal device error, network times out, duplicate file and too many files open etc etc. have latest i tunes download and diagnostic test ok. what can i do?

    Does the ext directory have the php_oci8.dll? In the original steps the PHP dir is renamed. In the given php.in the extension_dir looks like it has been updated correctly. Since PHP distributes php_oci8.dll by default I reckon there would be a very good chance that the problem was somewhere else. Since this is an old thread I don't think we'll get much value from speculation.

  • Error code -50 when downloading music

    I keep getting an error code -50 when I download music..it happens sporatically, about every third song I attempt to download. I have sent endless emails to suport..and no one has an answer--i've done the diagnostics and sent them to support--disabled my antivirus before downloading..Ive tried the check for purchases..nothing! the songs download to the point of "processing" then the error code pops up--I close iTunes and they just dissapear.the only thing on the hard drive I have ever found is files that will say "download" the do nothing if I import them to iTunes.Frankly, Im tired of losing music I wanted and can't re-download (as you can only download a song once-and even though its missing,it still shows in the purchase history)-I never have this problem if I get music from amazon.com. any ideas as to what causes this or how to fix it?

  • Why can't i access my Apps that I downloaded through iTunes. I believe I'm doing something wrong and not that the issue is iTunes itself

    Occasionally ill try downloading an App through my Macbook Pro 13.5 & it directs me to iTunes to be downloaded. So, I go to iTunes and download the App I need. For instance, Amazon. I go into 'My Apps' in iTunes and try clicking on one of my DL Apps, but nothing happens. Why can't I access the Apps, which I downloaded through iTunes.?I believe I'm doing something wrong and not that the issue is iTunes itself.  I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. I am due for an upgrade from that software and also an upgrade for iTunes as well, but that shouldn't be the problem. I've tried everything on my end to troubleshoot. I don't really have the time during the day to call in and troubleshoot, so thats why I'm asking the community. Please help with this problem if anyone can. Thank You!

    Once you download an iOS app, you cannot run that app from the computer. That can only be run from an iOS device. You cannot download Mac Apps from the iTunes App Store, those are downloaded from the Mac App Store. Two different places. If you want a Mac app that will run on your Mac, you need to download that from the Mac App Store. iTunes App Store only has iOS apps that work on iOS devices, iPhone, iPad, or iPod.

  • I get an error code 50 when downloading digital movie. How can I fix this issue?

    I get an error code 50 when downloading digital copy of a movie to my iTunes. I try to restart and still get the smae error code. I have my PC plugged directly into my modem and still get error, when trying to download failed movies. I have 5 failed downloads. How can I fix this issue?

    Try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

  • What is error code 5105 when downloading free apps?

    what is error code 5105 when downloading free apps?

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • WE05 takes a long time and ended with error message: time out

    Hello,
        When user trying to use WE05 transaction it takes more time and ended with error message time out.In the WE05 tranaction even i tried with minimal search options(like for just 2hrs duration,for one day) still getting the same error.I think there must be problem in EDIDC table.
       Please suggest solution for this????
    Regards,
    Loki.

    You have to enter the selection ctiteria on WE05, might be there is a huge data on these tables. So the best option is to enter the selection criteria as much as you can to get the IDOC list. Also check the sie of EDIDC table and analyse the number of IDOC on that table. Make sure that index are updated of the table
