Can't import into MS-Vista/Mcafee-error 3259-"Network connection timed out"
My downloading is working except when importing music into iTunes. I have microsoft vista and use mcafee but get the msg error 3259-"Network connection timed out - help
I too am having the same problem. New computer (Dell Inspiron E1505) and new Nano. I've disabled my firewall access, allowed for full access for iTunes, I remain connected to the internet, I remain connected to iTuens store (I can listen to music, see my account info and even see the purchased songs), but I can't download my songs without getting the error 3259 message network connection timed out.
I contacted Apple/iTunes; they haven't found a solution other than disabling my firewalls, which as I've said I've already done.
I contacted my ISP and they thought it was a version problem. They suggested that I try to download iTunes version 6, but that hasn't worked either. I just hope someone has a solution. I'm about to take back my ipod and forget the whole thing. Good luck to you and wish me luck!

Can't download software updates in iTunes - error message "network connection timed out"
I'm unable to download software updates for my iTouch 4.1 in iTunes. I have iTunes version 10.5, Windows 7. i've tried numerous times in the past and always get the same error message. I'm now experiencing problems with some of my apps. and I've attempted 4 times in the past 2 days to upload version 5.0. It goes thru the whole download (761.61 MB), says "processing file", then closes out and I get the following message:
"There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod "xxxxx's iPod". The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are current and your network connection is active or try again later. Err = .3529."
I ran diagnostics and it said everything was fine.
Also not all the apps. on my iTouch are in my iTunes library even though I've synced my iTouch numerous times since I've purchased the apps. with my iTouch. All the apps on my 2nd screen are on iTunes, but none of the apps. on my 3rd screen of my iTouch are in iTunes.Did you check your security software settings? Troubleshooting security software issues

Error: The network connection timed out?
Hi,
Just surfing through iTunes store and 2 out every 3 times I click on something to see it like an album or something I get this error: We can't process your request right now, The Network Connection Timed Out. This is happening a lot when ever I go into the iTunes store and try to click on anything a link or a picture for a link to something it pops up and says the network connection timed out. I ran diagonostics and everything is fine but still keep getting this error a lot. I also checked my McAfee anti virus and iTunes has Full Permissions and all access. So why do I keep getting this error message?Did you check this?

Upgrading to 4.2 iphone and ipad error "network connection timed out"
When trying to upgrade both ipad and iphone to 4.2 the download runs then stops with error message "network connection timed out" and says try again later. I have downloaded movies that take over an hour so I know it is not just time. I have trying turning off firewall and virus as well as empting cache and still no results. really believe it has something to do with windows 7 settings. any ideas?
I was having the same problem and after several weeks of technical support they basically gave-up and suggested I try installing Kaspersky KIS 2012 (not yet released, but available on their ftp download site as a "current version").
Anyway, I installed it and now I can update my iOS on my iPhone and iPad. Voilla! However, Kaspersky claim that this is not a common problem. Yeah, right!
If you want to upgrade to KIS v12 (2012) or KAV v12 (2012), then here is how:
1) Download v12 (2012) from the ftp site here:
ftp://ftp2.kasperskyftp.com/consumer-products/Current_Versions/KIS2012/
2) Disconnect from Internet (doh!)
3) Stop Kaspersky (right click on the "K" in the tool tray and select "Exit")
4) Uninstall Kaspersky from the Control Panel (Programs / Add-Delete Programs)
5) Reboot after uninstalling old version
6) After rebooting, install KIS/KAV v12 (2012)
7) When it prompts for install key, re-connect to the Internet and enter the key code (usually on the back of the envelope the original installation disk is in). The key code for earlier versions should work (at least it did for code with KIS 2010, two versions earlier).
8) Reboot when done
Finally, if this works for you (or anyone else), please post here, since Kaspersky seems to think it is very rare case that it worked for me... ha! -

Error: Network Connection Timed Out
I am beyond ****** off at the moment. My iTunes was working perfectly until two weeks ago, and now it insists my Network Connection Timed Out when I try to access the store or update podcasts.
It can't be my internet connection, because as you can see, I'm able to access the internet. For some reason it's this specific copy of iTunes (7.5), because the iT7 downstairs works perfectly. Of course, since Apple are so fecking stingy, I can't add a few files from there without wiping everything off my iPod.
So here's the run-down:
I'm using a Dell Inspiron 8600, Windows XP, browsing with Firefox and attempting to load the latest podcasts onto my iPod Shuffle. I don't give a toss about downloading songs, I just want to update my podcasts without having to search the net for the source file.
I ran the Network Diagnostics and it insists the Conneciton to iTunes failed, suggesting I adjust my cable (i don't have one - it's wireless) or flush my dns settings (which i've done several times).
I found a thread on these forums from March and tried every solution:
- uninstalling and reinstalling itunes... doesn't work.
- opening Internet Explorer 7, then opening iTunes... doesn't work.
- searching for a host file and removing the phobos apple line... doesn't work. The phobos line wasn't there
- using itunes 7... doesn't work.
- flushing my dns... doesn't work.
- turning off my firewall.... doesn't work.
- avoiding clashes with mcafee or zone alarm... doesn't work, cos i don't use those
I think it's appalling that I've tried all this, and i'm still no closer to knowing what the problem is, and that Apple failed to respond to any of the other people's problems in the earlier thread. And that i spent about ten minutes signing up to this fecking forum just to ask for help. Surely support should be readily available to anyone!
Can anybody help me? In the other thread, people found alternative sites for buying music, but has anyone got an alternative, ipod-compatible podcasting program?I have this same problem. Here's what I can add to this discussion - iTunes accessed the iTunes store a day or two ago. I have a home network and can access the internet from all of the networked PCs. I can access the iTunes store from all of the networked PCs using Internet Explorer. I can access the iTunes store from my laptop iTunes. I can not access the iTunes store from my workstation PC. I get the same "network connection timed out" message. I downloaded and installed a new (same version) of iTunes on the workstation PC. both the laptop and the workstation are running the same OS (Windows XP SP2), both are Dell computers, both are accessing the internet via a wired connection to the same switch and the same router. All other internet connections work fine.
What's different? In the last couple of days my Workstation lost access to a network printer. I worked with HP for over an hour to re-establish network connection to that printer with no success. I have access to the same networked printer from my laptop.
The IP address for the network printer is identical to what it was when it was installed - HP suggests looking for a change to the IP address. I made no changes to the workstation PC, the home network or the router, ISP, or internet connection.
But, it seems to me that the loss of access to the HP networked printer and the inability of iTunes to access the iTunes store are related.
I also called Apple and attempted to get technical support. I own 4 iPods with 104 Gbs of storage on them, I own 1900 CDs and iTunes has 36.5 days of music loaded into it.
I purchased Apple Care on all of the iPods - it's expired and they never warned me. They want to charge me $29 to fix this problem - even though I no longer can purchase music via the iTunes Store, so I need to pay $29 in order to gain access to the iTunes store to spend more money with Apple?! Not a smart business decision. I own a few other PC based music programs and more than willing to transfer all of it out of iTunes and into one of the other products. I'll sell all the iPods on eBay and purchase other MP3 players if I must.
But, I suspect the problem is (1) Apple doesn't have a documented answer to this problem, (2) the level 1 techs that answer the support phone are clueless - they just e-mailed me the same article from the Apple website that I told them I read and does not apply to my problem, and obviously does not resolve my problem. (3) Apple is not setup to resolve this type of problem with their level 1 support, and they can't escalate the problem without charging us.
I'll try again on Monday, may even purchase Apple Care first and then use that. The Apple Care Tech Support is typically better than the free level 1 call in support.
Suggestions, comments, etc. are all appreciated.

Itunes error: network connection timed out
Every time I try and log into my Itunes account I get an error message saying We could not complete your Itunes Store request. The network connection has timed out. How can I fix it?
Edit: My virus scanner is Avg and I use ad-aware 2007 for spyware. I can't find a feature with either one that would block i tunes. Also, it's an allowed application with windows firewall.
Message was edited by: touch84Ive been having this problem for over 24 hours now. Bad bit is that I had restored my iphone just before this so ive been stuck without a mobile phone since then.
Symptoms:
Iphone appears in itunes but when the iphone tries to get onto the store to finish re-activation the connection hangs and then i get the error "we could not complete your itunes store request. the network connection timed out".
I can browse the itunes music store + podcast store and i can download podcasts.
Safari is working perfectly.
Anything anyone can suggest would be a big help. I presume it it apple's server's fault. -
Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. or try again later." and next to the file it has err = -3259. I have tried this 17 times and it won't work. My iTunes is completely up to date. I have made sure that my connection is fine and I have tried turning my firewall off with no avail. This has happened to me before but usually the update will go through after 2-3 tries, never to this extent. I don't know what to do. Help!
Error -3259 is a network timeout error, usually. This article might help:

Can not update iphone firmware using iTunes "The network connection timed out"
Hello,
I can not update the iphone firmware using iTunes.
Messagte displayed
"There was a problem downloading the software fo the iPhone. The network connection timed out.
Also seen stopped error -3259
I have run network connectivity tests from iTunes and All Tests passed.
Can anyone help?
Thank you,
JoanDid you make sure it was the exact file for your device and the latest version? I just downloaded the latest file for my iPhone4, put it in the folder I mentioned above and it ran the install versus downloading the file. This problem where it times out after downloading is a big Bug within iTunes that has been there ever since IOS 7.0 was released. I wished these apple developers would just fix iTunes. There are a ton of complaints about this issue. I sure miss Steve Jobs running this business, I really feel like it's gone down hill after he left.
I hope this helps!
Regards.
