  • Error -3259 and Iphone Download

    Thought I might share this with the board...
    I had problems downloading the update from apple. It would start the download and hang half way through the download and give me the fabled "Error -3259" and when I would restart the the download it would give me the error again or endlessly download the file.
    I have a Belkin wireless router on a cable modem (windoze XP). I disconnected the wireless router and it downloaded without a hitch.
    BTW..planning to buy an imac once leopard is announced...is it worth it to go head and buy a airport router NOW since I am upgrading all my computer equipment( good thing to put that $100 rebate)

    See "error -3259" here.

  • I'm getting error messages when I download updates for lightroom and flash for the mac. can't figure out how to trouble shoot.

    It sounds as if your browser and some of your apps are not color-managed.  This is pretty typical.  Even IE9 is only partially color-managed.
    You can expect color-managed and non-color-managed applications to show you different things with the same images.  How different will depend upon how different your monitor color profile is from the image's color profile.
    For web publication and most general use, experts usually advise saving images with the sRGB profile.  If such images, saved through the Save for Web & Devices function, look different to you than you expect, it may be that your input images have previously been saved in another color space.
    You should really try to get your head around color-management by reading more on it.  It can seem baffling and it's difficult to understand without some background.  A quick web search turns up many overviews.  Beware, though, even people writing articles sometimes don't fully understand it.

  • Can't download music - error 3259

    I can't download the album I purchased. It keeps saying the network connection timed out. It is not my connection or firewall. I never had any trouble until I downloaded the newest version of iTunes. I uninstalled and reinstalled it. I have tried downloading single songs...HELP! This is driving me crazy!!!

    I use itunes all the time, I know how to download and transfer. I own video ipod 80, and I just bought an ipod shuffle. Since I bought the shuffle, itunes will not transfer all my purchases. i.e. my last order contained 43 downloads, it only transferred one song and one video from what I bought. The rest keep popping up error 3259 - and "network connection timed out"... I have done everything your site has suggested. And it has been two days now, and this is not acceptable. I want what I paid for. This has never happened before until I got the shuffle. I have updated itunes, and even redownloaded and installed, and the same crap keeps popping up. It's odd how 2 of the 43 items download just fine, and the rest do not.

  • Downloaded update for Firefox and now I can't get rid of AOL.

    Downloaded update for Firefox and now I can't get rid of AOL. I have tried to delete anything associated with AOL and when restart Firefox.....there's AOL again. I even reinstalled Firefox.......there it was again.

    Where does AOL show up -- home page?
    I think the first thing to check is whether you have any AOL-related add-ons. These might override your regular settings. You can review and disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
    Note that in most cases, you need to use the Restart Firefox link to actually deactivate the extension you chose to disable.
    Next, to fix your home page, try the steps in this article: [[How to set the home page]].
    If there is a problem with your search providers being switched from Google to AOL, try this extension:

  • Error -5000 and -3253 while downloading

    i just bought the Beatles box set
    it is composed of songs, videos and LPs
    on most of the LP (read here most not all) i have the error -5000
    and on 2 videos i have error -3253
    from what i have understood error -5000 if a problem with access permissions on my computer
    if so why some LP have been correctly downloaded and others don't?
    and what is error -3253?

    I just spent over an hour on the phone and working through Remote Advisor w/an Apple Technician (AT) going through a plethora of troubleshooting items - all to no avail.
    The AT did provide me with his/her specific contact information and promised to get back to me with an update within 24-hours.  Although there is no resolution at this time, I do at least have the comfort knowing that this issue has indeed been forwarded to the Engineering team for them to review and address.
    I just hope that this is resolved sooner rather than later.
    And as an FYI I did suggest that they check out the Community Forums to get better understanding that this is not an issue specific to me alone but to a much broader group.

  • Downloading message error 3259

    While I update my usual podcasts the download is at a snails pace and ends up stopping with a message error 3259. What is 3259? Everything else on my pc runs just fine the only exception being updating my podcasts. Along with the question of what is error code 3259 how might I resolve the problem? Thanks for any help someone might offer.

    Mike,
    see my post on http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7204920#7204920
    p.s. I'm not sure if this fix works with Vista, but I'd be interested to find out (if you decide to try it).

  • Error = -3259 and Error 1479

    I have been trying to download the latest update for an ipod touch and at first I got the message Error = -3259. (something about timeout) I followed 3 or 4 different instructions to fix the problem. I now have a problem in that everytime I try to download the update now, I get error message 1479. It can download anywhere up to 21mb before the message appears. Can anyone help me please?? This is driving me nuts!! Cheers

    Hi There,
    Firstly did you get a response for this
    For the last three months I have been trying to download my favourite daily podcast and I always get err 3259. It is quite strange as it is only this particular podcast, others seem to work fine.
    I have read many posts on this, and have tried to log in and out of itunes, I have not downloaded any anti virus software so dont think i can disable this, not sure about how to disable a firewall or if even I have one.
    I connect wireless to a Belkin modem. This is my home connection so have no other intermediaries.
    Nothing seems to work, all I can think I have changed in the last three months is I run my i tunes off my external hard drive.
    Can anyone help me as this is my daily dose of home and my favourite radio dj's and am having withdrawals!
    Thanks so much in advance.

  • Error 3259 and ipad 2 restore

    I have an ipad 2 and the current version of itunes.  All of this happened yesterday after I tried to update to the newest IOS.
    The ipad screen shows the connect to itunes screen.  When connected to itunes it wants to restore but wants to restore with update.  Every time I run update it runs about 1/2 way and then goes to error 3259. 
    The itunes screen on the computer shows the ipad as n/a serial number and from the itunes menu I cannot restore it at all.  The ipad hasn't been hacked and ran perfectly before I started the update yesterday morning.
    Help?!?!?

    If you've tried a different computer and different cable and still get the 4013 error then, from iOS: Restore errors 4005, 4013, and 4014 :
    If you continue to see error 4005, 4013, or 4014 when you restore your device, contact Apple for support.
