Error 3259 in update or restore the Ipad
Good Day,
I've been trying to restore or update the Ipad and I are presenting a couple of problems, making this process could solve the problem.
I have read in media that can be Fireware or Proxy error, and change the settings on both and the problem persists.
Other changes or alternatives that I can do?
Greetings.
Well, now you know what happens when you jailbreak (yes, I know that you didn't know, but hopefully you will not consider it in the future after seeing what happened here).
Anyway, since it is used and jailbroken, I'm guessing you bought it off of eBay or something like that. I'm sure there's a workaround for your problem, but you shouldn't have to go through that hassle. I would recommend attempting to return it and either buy a brand new one from Apple to insure that there are no problems, or, if you want a used one because it is cheaper, be very careful and make sure the seller agrees that it is fully functional, and that you reserve the right to return it if there are any issues.

I purchased a used ipad 2 that turned out to be jailbroken and i cannot update or restore the ipad 2
I purchased an ipad 2 from ebay and a little while after recieving the device I realized that it was jailbroken. So I immediately tried to restore and update to ios5 and it would not update giving me the error message that there was an issue downloading the software and the session has time out. I tried restoreing the ipad both through itunes and manually. It will not let me like its being blocked. Now I am having trouble purchasing anything from the store I get an error message of 1004 or 13019. I've tried every troubleshooting suggestion on itunes and nothing has worked. Not sure if anyone has any suggestions. I had no idea the device was jailbroken. I'm not savvy enough to attempt even using anything like that . I'm looking to just restore this device and start over.

When I tried to update my iPad I got an error 9. Now, I am unable to access my iPad. It is in a continuous cycle when I try to update or restore the iPad 2. Plug in to iTunes 12.0.1 (latest version). Click update, told can't update, have to restore. Restore fails with error 9. Any help appreciated.
Here's the cycle:
I plug in my iPad when “cable to iTunes shows on iPad screen. It says "Your iPad can't be updated, you must restore it to factory settings." That bad enough news, but it gets worse.
Click Restore
Extracting software…
Preparing iPad for restore
Waiting for iPad…
Verifying iPad restore with Apple…
(empty bar under the Apple logo…does not show any activity)
“The iPad “iPad” could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9).”
Notes: I just upgraded to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on my iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) in the last week. It’s the first time I’m tried to backup/update my iPad since the iMac update.
I swapped out the USB cable to a new cable and get the same results.
I also unplugged all other USB devices from the iMac and security on my iPad and still get the same results.
I find it strange that it shows no Serial number for my my iPad 2 when plugged in. It shows “Serial Number: n/a on the screen when it displays: “iPad Recovery Mode To update your iPad without erasing its contents, click Update. To restore your iPad to its factory settings, click Restore iPad.
I prefer to update my iPad, but it displays “Your iPad can’t be updated, you must restore it to factory settings. If you previously backed up the iPad, click Restore Backup after the restore process completes.”
It’s a continuous loop. I get the display on my iPad to plug in the iPad to iTunes, plug it in which ends after going through the above procedure saying an error occurred (9).
So now I cannot use my iPad. When I turn it on I get the display showing me to plug it into iTunes with the cable. Since this is the only option I have I plug it in and the loop begins.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!Hello jaybearden,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to restore the iOS device since you get an error 9. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

i have a problem when ı want to update and restore my ipad for ios5 : an error occurred while restoring this ipad (-10), what can i do??
Error -1 is not mentioned in this article about error messages during a restore process: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
This one comes close:
The device could not be restored. An internal error occurred, or Error 3200: This indicates a network-connectivity or traffic issue. If you see this error, wait an hour or more and try again.
You may also check your security software settings, to make sure that iTunes can contact Apple servers during this process: iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues -

Unable to update or restore new iPad Mini 2. Get error 3014 on two different Macs. This is a new out of the box iPad Mini 2. Am on a managed network, but have not had this problem previously.
First thing to do is make sure you have the latest version of iTunes on your computer.

I wanted to update my iPad 2 from 4.3 to the latest update but I got stuck in the restoring step. I couldn't restore the iPad.
The error message"The iPad cannot be restored at this time because the iPad software update server couldn't be contacted or is temprorily unavailable"Hello someone9,
There are a few possible causes for this issue, sometimes it is related to Security Software, other times it is related to the internet connection. Let's follow the steps below:
iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
- Install the latest version of iTunes.
- Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
- Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
- Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
- If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

Can someone help me. I am using an iPad mini with iOS 7.0.4 with wifi connection. Have had no problems until recently when I was unable to update apps and then noticed that some apps would open but no data would be available in apps like intelicast and Pinterest. I have restored the iPad and now I am unable to download any of my previously purchased apps.
1. Make sure iPad is using the latest software
2. Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
3. Make sure Time Zone is correct
4. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo. -
i forgot my passcode for the ipad and i can't connect to iTunes because it keeps giving me error message that i have to unlcok the ipad first... any advice on how to restore the ipad or unlock it?
You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
This will tell you how to restore

You will probably need to use recovery mode

I attempted to upgrade the software on my iPad 2 and I got a message that said "unable to restore Ipad due to error". Now the iPad had a black screen with the Apple symbol and the processing symbol going around and around. When I tried to re connect it to iTunes is says "cannot connect to this iPhone due to error". How do I reset the ipad?
Please Get the iPad User Manual for iOS 5.

How do I update my iPad to ios5 I am getting an error mesage -402653081 while backing up the iPad, if I proceed then I will loose all the content of the iPad?
The IOS5 upgrade will erase everything on your iPad, so make sure you have a good backup before you start.
If not, you will just have to reenter all of your settings all over again. Have you ever backed it up successfully? -
What does it mean when my ipad is in Recovery mode? It's connected to my imac for software update and it says I must "restore" the ipad before itunes can be used. Will I lose everything on my ipad?
Unless you have a backup from which you can restore, yes you will lose all of your data and settings.
You should be able to sync your content back to the iPad if you have been syncing with iTunes all along. If you don't sync with iTunes, you can download much of your paid content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. This explains downloading past purchases.

Unfortunately, at this point, you must restore the device before you can move on. There is nothing you can do to avoid it now. -
I just downloaded a lot of PDF textbooks to my ibooks, and now it crashes within seconds of opening the app. I have tried restoring the iPad and just updated the iBooks to 3.1. Any ideas? I have the new iPad.
What a waste of space to paste the code.
Why not ask in the iLife > iPhoto forum where your question belongs. -
i have this error ''the iphone *** cannot be updatet at this time because the iphone software update server could not be countacted ore is temporarily unavailable'' i have 2-3 days tha try to update or restore the iphone but tha same again :/ plzz helppp
Try updating directly on the device, via iTunes on the computer, and iTunes on a different computer.
If the iPhone has been hacked or jailbroken, it may not be possible to update. -
I have updated iOS7 today via iTunes as I was not able to update it directly in the iPhone. After the update I restored the back up and now the iPhone is not getting started. Please advice?
That error message suggest you have a permissions issue. Make sure you have full read/write privileges for the Drive/ Folder location that you are copying the files to.
