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.

    Thanks for your reply Michalo. I am in India and here Apple care does not work on Sundays. I have been without my phone for the entire day. Perhaps tomorrow will bring some respite. There is not solution to "error (-1)" on any forum it seems. I found one forum which suggested use of Tiny Umbrella. Any idea about that?

    If iTunes is otherwise working properly start with TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, otherwise move on to Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

  • 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.

  • Itunes error 3259 AND lots of "other" files

    hello,
    first things first, I have read this article: Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store - Apple Support I am NOT running windows or any of the other programs listed. this article did not help my problem. so please don't tell me to read it....
    okay, so the problem: I'm trying to restore my iphone 5c because I have a lot of "other" on my iphone's storage... and it also needs the software update.
    I get the error 3259. r
    estarted both iphone and macbook air. (ejected iphone from macbook air as well.)
    disconnected and re connected the wifi on both devices.
    could this be related to my massive amount of "other" files in my macbook air??? question asked about it on here: mysteriousdisk space, gibberish files?
    should I just wipe my whole computer and iphone or what? this is a nightmare.

    All of your messages, whether they be text, image, audio, video, are all part of "Other." My daughter had 6 GB of them.

    Hello, talatafaq. 
    Thank you for the question.  Here is the article that provides the troubleshooting steps for error 16.
    Check for hardware issues
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

  • 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.
    Bella

  • Error 1671 on iPad restore

    Our iPad 3rd gen will not leave recovery mode. I plug it in, do the factory restore as set out in apples tutorials online. Software starts to download and after the 3/4 hours worth of downloading a unknown error code appears - 1671. I can't find anything to fix this.
    I do the whole home/power button, plug into iTunes and follow all instructions. It seems to be working then at the final second comes up with this error then iTunes ejects the iPad and I'm back at square one.
    Can anyone offer any help or advice?
