Error 3259 when downloading iPhone os 5

The download to iTunes in Windows 7 goes well untill the very end when this timed out error appears.
Any suggestions?

I am having an identical error message on HP laptop running Vista (my girlfriends lappy and iphone 4, im a mac user:))
a google search seems to point to a network issue with security, such as firewall settings, etc etc, but we never had this problem before - for example when updating to iOS4.01 - and nothing has changed since then in terms of settings. I will check these settings at the earliest oportunity, but if anyone has any suggestions in the meantime, i would be very grateful to hear them...

  • Error 3259 when downloading OS version 3.0 on the iPhone

    Hi,
    I'm getting error 3259 when I'm downloading version OS version 3.0 on the iPhone. It stops at 230MB out of 230.1 MB
    I've reinstalled iTunes, I've disabled the antivirus and Windows firewall with no results. And there is no problem with my internet connection. (I've got OS Windows XP, SP 2, 32 bit on my laptop)
    Does anyone have any idea on how to solve this issue?
    Thank you

    Try actually removing your antivirus/antispware software (and make sure it is all of them) and try again.

  • Error 3259 when downloading large podcasts

    When I download podcasts that are larger than around 200MB I often get an error 3259. iTunes starts downloading and after downloading 100 MB or so I get this error. When I retry often enough the download sometimes goes through.
    Does any anybody else see this problem? I am using a Macbook Pro with the latest Yosemite build and the latest iTunes version.
    Small files < 100MB download without problems.
    I have seen some information about this error but it seems mostly related to firewall problems. My firewall is turned off.

    Do not confuse -3259 with +3259
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297 > Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) - includes list of iTunes error codes
    "Error 3000" through "3999"
    Alerts with codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, or due to your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try removing the proxy settings, or using a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.

  • Error 3259 when downloading OS 3.0

    I have tried to download OS 3.0 4 times now and every time I get the 3259 error, I have followed Apples advice of disabling my firewall and antivirus software but this has had no effect. I have no problem with downloading music. Please help, thankyou.

    Exact same issue. I'm trying for the 5th time on my XP machine (firewall faithfully disabled, even though all the other aspects of the iTunes and App stores work just fine with it on) while I download updates to my MacBook to see if I can make it work over there.
    Does iTunes save this file anywhere? The worst part about trying this multiple times is that even on my cable connection, a ~260 MB file takes some time, and I'd love to try to use the file that I've downloaded 4 times already. Are they cached? Have I lost a gig of HD space downloading this file over and over?
    So far I'm very unhappy with my $10 purchase (which by the way, had no issues finding my bank and taking the funds), and will be recommending against updating iPod/iPhone to others until Apple finds a way to fix this on Windows.
    Edit: Glad to hear you fixed it Jeremy, but my only firewall is the Windows one, and the system helpfully reminds me that it's currently disabled. I'm also using NOD32, so I'll disable that and give it a go.

  • Network Timeout error message when downloading iPhone iOS software in iTunes

    When I try to download iOS 8.0.2 (or even when I tried to download iOS 8), I receive an error message telling me my network connection has timed out.  I even tried troubleshooting by chatting with Apple support.  Nothing they tried worked either. I eventually had to go to my neighbor's house and use her Mac and her wi-fi.  Even that took a couple tries before she stopped receiving that error message too.  I have the most up to date versions of my Mac software and iTunes.  I've restarted the computer, my firewall is turned off, I've tried everything support says to do.  Any suggestions?  My iPhone periodically goes into recovery mode, and I'm afraid that the next time it does, I won't be able to recover it because I won't be able to download the iOS.

    Same error (above).... again! I put my iPod into restore mode, but once again, it forces the update.

  • Error 3259 when downloading iOS 6 in itunes

    I also can't OTA download, it also gives me an error. My internet is working, ive turned off antivirus and firewalls, flushed my dns, changed my dns as was suggested on a few posts, reinstalled itunes, updated windows, rebooted the phone, router and computer at least 10 times
    Any ideas what to try next? I have a sony vaio laptop with windows 7, and the 4s iphone. My internet is a verizon 4g mifi if that matters. I've downloaded all the other updates for my phone and ipad just fine until today. Nothing has been changed until I started troubleshooting this morning.
    Thanks so much!

    Well I haven't gotten ios 6 on anything yet. We have two iphone 4s's and an ipad. Everything has always updated just fine before this update came out. My problem is when I try to download the actual update, it says the network timed out and to check my connection, but my internet is working fine. When I try OTA on the phone itself it trys for a while and then says update failed.

  • Error -3259 When Downloading 1.1.2

    So.. I've been waiting forever for 1.1.2.. and I still can't get the update. everytime it says the Connection timed out.. I don't want to restore the ipod because theres over 1000 songs on it that aren't on my computer, and no way to get them on to it reasonably.. If anyone has any suggestions, or even better an answer to why this is happening.. please let me know.
    thanks.

    Honestly, if you have no choice but to restore, I'd restore to it's factory settings, yes you will have to lose the 1000 songs, and that some aren't in the computer! But did you make a back up of it?
    I'm not sure but you can check Engadget.com and do a manual update. Just download the 1.1.2 from that site and when you open itunes, plug your ipod touch in, and when the summury pane opens, hold the shift key (for windows), or the option key (Mac) and click on the Check for update, from there you can select the 1.1.2 update that you downloaded manually. If that does not work, then the only option is restoring.

  • When downloading Iphone software update (version 4.0), I get error message

    When downloading Iphone software update (version 4.0), I get error message (stopped err = -3259). Is there a solution for this???

    Did anyone solve this?
    I'm still having this issue. I also had the same issue when trying to download a large update for an app (43MB). I can download and install smaller udpates but I can't even download the large updates. I've checked all of my firewall settings and they are fine. I've turned off the firewall when trying to download the update and it still does not work. It just keeps saying that my network connection timed out.
    I'm not at the stage where I can't install new apps because it requires the latest OS version on my iphone which I can't get!

  • Error -3259 when trying to update iPhone

    Getting error 3259 when trying to update newest iPhone version. I'm not tech savvy so could someone explain what this is and what exactly I need to do to fix this! I've not had this problem until recently.

    Another topic is talking about this. The is an Apple server problem and not a problem with your iPhone or local iTunes environment.

  • Error -3259 When Updating

    Everytime I try to update my iPhone, I get an error -3259 when the download is complete. I have tried logging in and out of my iTunes account, shutting down my firewall, and iTunes is up. Ive had this problem when 3.0 came out also, but I cant remember how I worked around it.

    Greetings,
    This is usually a time out error. If you have a JailBroke iPhone, you may be out of luck, but it's usually a firewall issue, or an Anti-virus one.
    Norton (Symantec) anything is bad, nut just turn off any AV software, as it, too, may have a built in firewall. Anyway, turn off any firewall, and AV software, and it should work.
    Also make sure you have the latest iTunes software that just came out yesterday. Winblows is particularly fussy about that sort of thing.
    Cheers,
    M.
