Download issue - error .3259 "connection timed out"

Hi guys hope someone can help 'cos this is doing my head in !!
Everytime I try and download a track it comes up with the above message.
I have disconnected all firewall connections, on the suggestion of iTunes,and this hasn't helped at all.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks

Thanks for your help. It pointed me in the right direction and the problem was to do with the permissions on Norton spyware.

Error 3259 Connection Timed Out???

New arrival here, but a bit slow on tech talk.
Anyway, I've never had problem with itunes until today. I purchased an album, and it shows up in the downloads list, but I keep getting a connection time out error, despite the fact that I can use the rest of the internet as usual, with no issues.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

After many go arounds with support about this problem, I'm relieved to have some kind of an answer! Thank you!
So far, Apple has told me:
1) How to check for purchases that weren't downloaded like I'm an idiot and don't know how to download and check for downloads. .
2) Not having a broadband connection is my problem even though I can browse the store, listen to song samples, put stuff in my cart and purchase items. I never had this problem before and less than 24 hours after downloading a purchase, I can do everything but download. Don't get me started on being responded to like I'm an idiot for not using broadband. That email response was ended with "you can continue to make purchases but you'll continue to have this problem." WHAT?!
3) I can of course use dial-up but my problem now is that I have limited bandwidth and will continue having time out issues.
I'm going to try disabling my McAfee programs and see if that works for me just because I need a solution to satisify my curiousity. I however will not be buying anything from iTunes again.

Upgrade to itunes 7.6 now error "network connection timed out"

Upgrade to itunes 7.6 now error "network connection timed out" when i try to connect to itunes store and podcast

I did a manual install of itunes 7.6 (it refused to install through the automatic update) and now I get the same problem - itunes store won't connect.

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!

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.

Ive 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.

Unable to check for available downloads. The network connection timed out.

I downloaded iTunes 10.1.2 last week, and attempted to upgrade some music to iTunes Plus. I'm showing 35 items in my download queue, but when I attempt to download I get a message "Unable to check for available downloads. Network connection timed out."
I e-mailed Apple Tech Support multiple times, and received their standard list of links for things to try. So far I have reinstalled iTunes, turned off my Norton Firewall, checked the program rules settings, flushed the dns cache, and unchecked the "allow simultaneous downloads" box. Still no luck.
Apple's last e-mail requested I send them my account info so they could reset my password, and check my system. I'm still waiting for that to happen.
I'd appreciate any user suggestions for this problem.

Fundamentally it is an apple itunes server issue - if you have a lot of downloads the "check for downloads" request can take longer than the default windows internet connection timeout setting - which is 30 seconds on more recent versions of windows.
You can work around it though - without requiring apple to "segment" your download list, by adding a windows registry setting.
Apple re-enabled my downloads after I was burgled and then I was stuck - my "check for downloads" was always timing out - and the support guy had no clue - so I went digging, and found a a microsoft article here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/181050 which tells you how to change change that default timout value by adding a registry setting. Besides adding the ReceiveTimeout setting detailed on that page - I also changed the KeepAliveTimeout - just in case.
HKEYCURRENTUSER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ReceiveTimeout
which I set to 180000 milliseconds (3 mins)
HKEYCURRENTUSER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\KeepAliveTimeout
which I set to 181000 milliseconds (3 mins and 1 second)
Use regedit to make the change - both settings are DWORDS with decimal values. You'll need to restart your PC to apply the change.
After the change and restart and one initial failed attempt the request for downloads worked - when the apple itunes server responded after 2 minutes !!

Error "500 Connection timed out" when starting a Web Interface

Hello,
when starting a Web Interface
(either from preview in Web Interface Builder or directly via transaction BPS_WIF0),
after around 2 minutes I get the following Error Message: "500 Connection timed out"
(in Detail, it says "Connection to partner timed out").
If I use a less complex web interface, this error does not come up.
What can I do to avoid this?
Thank you in advance,
Stephan

Hello Stephan,
if a basic web interface is fast enough, this is normally a confirmation, that the problem does not depend on network performance. We do this test always as an initial test to exclude network issues before we analyze BPS.
So it looks like you do have BPS performance issues. What I can tell you is that multiple variable selectors decrease performance. If this is not you problem I would recommend to check how-to-paper "performance".
It could be related to HTTP-services as well, you will find SAP notes about this topics in OSS.

IPhone v3 download... network connection timed out... stopped (err = -3249)

Trying to download iPhone Software update v3 ... furthest I've got so far is 11Mb / 230.1Mb. Eg: shows average 80kb/sec download speed in iPhone Software Update but then eventually goes down to nothing & therefore bombs out...
There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone ... The network connection timed out.
zero KB of 230.1MB - stopped (err = -3249)
Why doesnt 'resume' actually work like a 'download manager'? Eg: should resume from where it stopped (eg: about 1.2Mb downloaded), not start from the very beginning again... tried:
* resetting broadband modem
* turning iphone off/on
* iphone passcode is off
* turned off AVG virus scanner
* disbled windows vista firewall
* broadband modem connected via LAN (not wirelessly) & no firewall turned on
* STILL having issues ... doing my head in now LOL
This is probably about the 10th or more attempt... any help please?
Have:
iTunes v8.2.023
Windows Vista
iPhone 3G (trying to download v3 software) with 6.6Gb free space

USB 2.0 ...
when iphone not plugged in can still seem to 'resume' the download in itunes -> store -> downloads -> iPhone software update. Still having same problem though... managed to get as far as 15Mb, thats it.
Virgin Broadband 3G (Optus 3G) which is known to be flaky (# of drop-outs) but why wouldn't itunes/apple have a download manager that allows downloads to keep downloading during internet connection short interupts. If I click 'pause' in the downloads screen, it goes back to 0Mb downloaded... so resume/pause doesn't work. Have probably tried over 20 times now...

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.

WebService Consuming Message Error: ConnectException: Connection timed out:

Hi experts,
I'm using NWDS to consume an external WebSevice and after create an iView on EP6.
First I created a Deployable WebService and deployed it on the server, so I created a Java Application to call this WS using the following code:
<i>public class JQSRedirect extends HttpServlet {
     protected void doGet(
          HttpServletRequest request,
          HttpServletResponse response)
          throws ServletException, IOException {
          PrintWriter pw = response.getWriter();
          try{
               String applicationID = "XXXX";
               String passwordID = "XXXXX";
               String userID = "XXXXXX";
               String redirectURL = "http://XXXXXXX/preportal.aspx?token={";
               String token = "";

               pw.write("token: " + token);
          catch(Exception e) {
               pw.write(e.toString());
               e.printStackTrace();

When I'm testing , the system display the follow message: <b>java.rmi.RemoteException: Service call exception; nested exception is: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect</b>
How to correct this error?
Regards,
Armando

Hi,
I found a reason for the previous error, I setted up the firewall rules and it works, but now we have another error message:
java.rmi.RemoteException: Service call exception; nested exception is: com.sap.engine.services.webservices.jaxrpc.exceptions.InvalidResponseCodeException: Invalid Response Code: (405) Method Not Allowed. The requested URL was:"http://193.122.30.8/XXXXXXXX/NJQS/njqsservice.wsdl"
I made some researchs on the SDN and another sites of Internet that suggests a proxy configuration, but I don't have proxy on my server.
Any Idea that can help me?
Regards,
Armando
