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 occur when download new version of Air application

Hi All,
Error occur when download new version of Air application.
the error is given below
"There was an error downloading the update. Error# 16824"
Please help me

Abhilash S

If on windows, take a look at the following file to see what's going on:
c:\Document and Settings\User Name\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\logs\Install.log
Common issues:
The version number specified in the application.xml file of the download is not the same as the value specified in the update.xml file.
The application ID of the new file is not the same as that in the old file.
At any rate, the probable in most probably due to an invalid value in the application descriptor file.

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 This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, or due to your Internet proxy settings.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 message when downloading latest version

Any idea why I am getting error messages when updating the version of iTunes?

:-( Same error message. "Errors occured white installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose Tools> Download Only and try installing manually."
That's odd. That's normally a message you get from Apple Software Update, not one that you get when you installer using an iTunes64Setup.exe downloaded from the Apple website.
Can you walk us through what happens when you download and run the installer from this link?

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.

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 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 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.

Hello ac3180,
For error 14, you may want to check your USB Connections.
From, Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors

If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.

Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

How do we deal with Error 50 when downloading a movie rental then stopped with error 50 and when I try to resume the downld, it doesn't do it?

Yeah this "fix" is bunk. The movie is downloading just fine, but the extra features is the one giving me this error code. It is NOT my firewall. If it was, then both files wouldn't download. Plus, I already have the firewall "issue" tacked down and fixed. Have had it fixed for months now. No, this is due to the "new" itunes version 11 software. The only conclusion to fix this issue is UPgrading from 11 back to 10.7 which is what I am going to do. This is completely ridiculous! Come on, Apple, get itunes working once and for all, and fire the people responsible for itunes 11, just like you did to the guy who was responsible for apple maps. Thankfully Google came back to the rescue with google maps app.
