Trying to download iOS6 getting an "-stopped (error =-3259)
Also there is a mention "timed out" and "check the internet connection/network".
I have tried the following but still no results:
- I have checked the host & lmhost and amended the files in the drivers folder to make sure that it wasn't blocking apple ports
- Disabled the firewall
- Updated to the last version of iTune
- Removed Tiny Umbrella, redSnow...
- logged out and in to my AppleID
Aaaarrggh..... can't figure out where is the problem...
Thanks for your helppppppppppppp...

Guys, since no one was replying I had to deal with it the best I could... Finally found the solution!
If anyone got an error 3259 make sure the following is in place:
- make sure the host file doesn't have the apple ports blocked
- remove all jail brake applications, such as red snow, tiny umbrella...
- logout and log back in to your AppleID
- update iTunes to the last version
- disable antivirus and firewall
- last but not least, the proxy settings can also block the access to the iOS 6 server, so make sure that you don't forget about it!
After that you should be able to update your toy with iOS6...

You'll have to check your security software settings, iTunes has to be able to connect to Apple servers during the download process.

If your iPhone is listed in iTunes, click Restore on the Overview page and follow the instructions on screen.
Should iTunes not detect your iPhone, try the following:
Turn the device completely off and remove the USB cable from your iPhone while keeping the other end of the cable plugged into your computer.
Now take your phone and press the home button.
While you keep the Home button pressed, reconnect the USB cable to your iPhone
Continue pressing the home button until the "Connect to iTunes" logo appears on your iPhone
Now follow the instructions on your screen to restore your iPhone

When I try download new os 5.1.0 on my iPhone 4 I get this error message "stopped (err = -3259)" after it has downloaded. Has anyone had this problem and if so what is the fix.

When I try to download iPhone OS 5.1.0 on my PC I get this message "stopped (err = -3259)"and says it timed out at the server after the entire download. I have tried 3 times, it takes about 8 min. to download the 790.7 MB file. Has anyone had this problem and what is the fix?

See "error -3259" here.

Can not restore ipod touch. About 167MB of 346,8MB get loaded than download stops, a few minutes later: ERROR 3259! ( High Speed Internet Connection 16000kBits/sec)

Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

Downloading podcasts I get error = 3259

Recently I updated iTunes to version 7.5.0.20 and have had nothing but problems. Most recently when I try to download anything (music purchase, audio book, tv shows, audio/video podcasts) I'll get an error message that looks like this: stopped (err = 3259). An iTunes pop up window then tells me that the network connection has timed out.
If I repeatedly try to download something eventually I will get it, but I should not have to do that.
I have reinstalled iTunes more times than I can remember (upwards of 15 times)and that does not appear to be helping at all. Any thoughts on what is going on here?

THis just started happening for me after i moved to leopard, i keep getting the 3259 error, but the worst part is that i knocks out my router, and i have to restart it every time. i only use itunes for podcast, and some aren't even that big and it still happens. i went back to the previous version of itunes to see if that helped, but no luck there either. i also tried unchecked allow simultaneous downloads, it worked a for a little bit but then it started happening again.
i just cant figure out why it knocks out my router, i wouldn't be as ****, if it didn't do that.
I'm not a happy guy right now:(
if this helps...i use a belkin router and i have comcast internet. i'm a little hesitant to restart my modem... i have the comcast triple play and the last time i reset it (6 months ago) the modem died and i didn't have internet and phone service for a week:(
any help from APPLE would be much appreciated!!!!

Sorry to hear your Adobe experience has been less than stellar. I'll try to help...
1. Photoshop 14.2.1 is now two releases out of date. You might want to go to your Creative Cloud application and ask it to install Photoshop CC (2014). Earlier this year Adobe released 2014.0 as a separate install that can live side by side with 14.2.1. Then just a few days ago they released 2014.1 as an in-place upgrade to 2014.0.
2. You may be able to update Camera Raw directly to version 8.6 by a link from this page:

Best of luck to you. Please let us know here if these things help.

How can I download iphone software 5 when I keep getting this error message: There was a problem downloading the s/w for the iphone ...The network connection timed out. It's error 3259

I keep getting an error message saying my network connection has timed out when I try to download the iphone 5 software to my iphone 4 while it's connected to my laptop. Then it says make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. The download gets all the way to the end (takes about an hour mind you), and keeps timing out. It's error 3259. FYI, I have the latest version of iTunes.

Security software on your computer/router is the usual cause of this. Turn off/disable or uninstall all anti-virus software & firewalls. Try again.

When Downloading OS4, I get error 3259

So I just got a new computer after not having a computer for about a year or so. The last update that I have for my 16 GB 3rd Generation iPod Touch is update 2.2.1.I'm trying to update my iPod to the newest software, and when I try to update it, I get this message: "There was a problem downloading the software for the ipod 'XXXXXXX's iPod'. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later."
When I look in the downloads section, it's error 3259. I tried removing my firewalls and everything, and the support articles at apple don't help. Please help me!

Downloading Ipod software update 3.1.1 but get error 3259

What is wrong? I cannot seem to completely download the software update. After partially downloading the file, an error appears that the connection was timed out. Status: stopped (err = -3259)
I do not have a firewall up nor do I have anti-virus software. I'm running itunes 9.

Ok, I'm told that it's a timeout error due to internet connection. For whatever reason, when I tried downloading it again during the day, it worked fine. I don't know what the big difference would be from night to day.
An apple expert emailed me:
I understand that you are receiving a message about connection error 3259 when trying to download your purchases.
I have confirmed that the iTunes Store is functioning and accepting connections. Therefore, the issue is likely related to your Internet connection, local network, or computer. I'm happy to provide some information that should help you connect to the iTunes Store again.
Error 3259 is a network timeout error. Sometimes this error can be caused by software on your computer that slows down the network connection. This error can also appear if you are downloading multiple items. I'd like to provide some steps that should help you successfully download your purchases.
It often helps to pause the download and then download items one at a time. These steps will walk you through doing this:
1) Open iTunes.
2) From the Store menu at the top, choose Check for Available Downloads. If you're unable to upgrade and are using iTunes 7, the option will say Check for Purchases.
3) Enter your account name and password, then click Check. Your purchases should begin downloading.
4) Under the STORE section on the left, click Downloads.
5) Click the Pause All button in the lower-right corner. This will temporarily pause all of your downloads.
6) To resume only one of the downloads, click the refresh button that appears to the right of one of the paused downloads.
Certain types of software can affect the way a computer sends and receives information from the Internet. Here are a few examples of these types of software:
- Firewalls
- Web accelerators
- Ad filters
- Virus protection software
If you have any of this kind of software installed on your computer, you will need to configure each of the applications to allow your internet connection to access iTunes freely. For instructions, please refer to the documentation that came with that software, or contact the software's manufacturer. You'll need to configure the software to allow these domains to send and receive data from the Internet freely:
itunes.apple.com
ax.itunes.apple.com
For assistance in configuring your firewall or accelerator software, you may need to contact the manufacturer or your Internet service provider (ISP). When contacting their support representatives, it may be useful to have the following information:
"Well Known" TCP and UDP Ports Used By Apple Software Products
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629
The following article helps Windows users pinpoint software conflicts that could cause the error:
Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1275
Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292
Once you have managed to allow access to iTunes through other software, please follow these instructions:
1) Sign out of the iTunes Store.
2) Quit the iTunes application.
3) Restart your computer.
4) Open iTunes.
5) Select Check for Available Downloads from the Store menu at the top of iTunes, (if you're unable to upgrade and are using iTunes 7, you'll choose Check for Purchases).
If you can't find this option, you can also click this link to do the same thing:
https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/checkForPurchases
6) Enter your account name and password, then click Check. The missing item should begin downloading and appear in your Purchased playlist.
Please note that the iTunes Store cannot investigate every user's connection issue. Apple Discussions are another source of information about iTunes, where everyone from new users to professionals can interact and share their knowledge and experiences. You may find another user with the same operating system or ISP that may be able to help resolve this issue. You can find the iTunes discussions group at:
http://discussions.info.apple.com/itunes
If you are using a dial-up connection, you might consider downloading your purchases over a broadband connection, if you have access to one.
I hope this information is helpful. Thank you for shopping at the iTunes Store.

I would have googled "itunes error 3259" before I wasted all that time and bandwidth. And would then have most likely followed this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
