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.
    Message was edited by: touch84

    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.

  • 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.

    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?

  • 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.

  • '500 Connection timed out' Error in Sender SOAP Scenario

    Hi mates,
    I exposed o/b synch MI as a webservice. This webservice is received by a BPM and it triggers an IDOC generation program on R/3. BPM waits & collects the IDOCs and cosntructs the response from these IDOCs and returns it to the webservice caller.
    I'm making the SOAP call from a client program and I get the correct response in some cases where the data requested is not huge...normally with in 30 sec.
    But in some cases I get the error '500 Connection timed out' after 60 sec. The detailed message is as follows.

    My BPM waits for 10 minutes and I set the parameter XI.Timeout to 600000 (i.e. 10 minutes) in module parameter table for the sender SOAP adapter as per the note 856597. And in SXMB_ADM, I set the parameter CHECK_FOR_ASYNC_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT of category SA_COMM to 600. In my client program, I set the timeout as 1 hour. All these config params are supposed to make sure that all the components involved wait for atleast 10 mins before they timeout.
    But I get timeout after 60 sec. Whats wrong/missing?
    I highly appreciate your inputs.

    does this mean you are getting some response in some cases where u r payload is small , and if its large ur getting some timeout like this? Also is ur scenario Sync / Async?
    Assuming i understood correctly , i came a similar situation but that has to do some thing with Paging file / memory issues when the files are too huge and no. of users are high please let me know if this is the case.

    Hi,
    Check the server details and the user credentials for the ftp server you are using and check whether you have provided the correct path in the ftp server.
    Also try to login to the ftp server which you have mentioned in CC using the user name and pwd, to chk whether you have the permissions to login to the server.
    Also the check whether the folder you are trying to access is having permission for delete/read/write.

  • Fusesmb always connect timed out

    Hi All:
       I come across a problem which confused me for days.
       I just install the fusesmb to share the file with window.
       I followed the instructions at this website http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=300310, but didn't success.
       I can only see the directory but can't open it.
       I try to debug fusesmb which gives the error information "unique: 115, error: -110 (connection timed out), outsize: 16". If I use smbclient, everything is OK.
       I write "user_allow_other" in /etc/fuse.conf, and use "fusesmb /media/network -o debug, umask=0,allow_other"
       Does any one have the same problem with me ?
       Any suggestion appreciated.
