Error message -3259 on 5.0.1 update for iPhone 4s

I have been trying for the last 15 hours to update my phone.  I turn it on airplane mode, and update through itunes (I do not have a wifi connection). It says it will take 3 hours (longer if not in airplane mode). When it has just a minute or two left an error pops up and says my network connection timed out and to ensure my network setting are correct (error -3259).  My settings are good, so I dont know what the heck. Anyone have any suggestions???

No, it will not. It must be the version specifically for the iPod Touch.  On top of that you must have a 3G or 4G iPod Touch in order to even install iOS 5 onto it.

  • Error message saying iTunes doesn't include software for iPhone

    I get an error message saying iTunes doesn't include the software for iPhone. It says to uninstall and re-install iTunes. I have done it twice and both times I get the same error.

    There is an entire iPhone forum here
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=201
    I don't have one - perhaps you will be better off there, where most will?
    Best of luck!

  • While trying to update, I get error message 3259.

    While trying to update, I am getting error message 3259.  I think is a connectivity issue but I have connected using Airport and also tried hardwiring it and no luck.  This is a Nano 6th Gen.  Any suggestions?

    You make no mention of connecting directly to your computer.  Was this done?
    How are you hardwiring an iPod Nano?

    When trying to upload Version 5 update for IPad after the download is complete and the files are being processed I get an error message - 3259 which says the internet connection is timed out but in fact it is still operational. The download is unsuccessful. Why is this?

    Try temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed.

    THIS WAS COPIED FROM A THREAD THAT WORKED FOR ME SO I CAN'T TAKE THE CREDIT
    Open notepad as administrator, and direct yourself to:
    C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc
    open the "Hosts" file:
    note the "127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com" portion near the bottom. your hosts may be different, and if so, then look for that part specifically. the problem for me, lied within the fact that just before the "127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com" part, there originally was no hash(#) with the space like the rest of the hosts file. This was all I had to fix. After editing and then SAVING the hosts file in notepad I restarted iTunes and the update went through without a hitch!
    so if you do not see the hash and space before the "127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com" part, all you have to do is put the #, and then press tab! I hope this works for some of you guys! So just to be clear, that particular line in the file should look like:
    # 127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com
    good luck!

  • When i try to update RAW i get this error message Photoshop Camera Raw 6.7 Update Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7  ?

    When I try to update camera raw files in CS6   I get the following error message
    Photoshop Camera Raw 6.7 Update
    Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7
    What do I do?

    Which version of photoshop and operating system are you using?
    The reason i ask, even though you wrote cs6, is the camera raw 6.7 update is for photoshop cs5.
    Did you try Help>Updates from within photoshop to get the most recent version of camera raw, which is 8.7 for photoshop cs6?

  • "The iphone software update server could not be contacted" - error message recieved when i try to update to 5.1.1 via itunes , what can i do ?

    The iphone software update server could not be contacted" - error message recieved when i try to update to 5.1.1 via itunes , what can i do ?

    Dear Lawrence Finch: 
    If you're still around I hope you see this message, as you're the FIRST person (after reading every link, thread, other sites, apple support articles, etc.) to mention JB may be causing this iTunes popup window to REPEATEDLY occur:
    "The iPhone software update server could not be contacted."
    No, I did not hack anything (are you kidding?  Grannies don't hack!), but I unknowingly bought a 3Gs iOS 3.1 from ebay that was not advertised as JB.  Since it is like brand new, I was going to keep it (because my old backup is iOS 3.1.2) & was trying to simply restore & update, which (I thought) would remove the JB (that's what everybody says at forums, etc).
    Instead, after "erasing all settings/content" (inside phone's Settings to get the prior person's name out of there), it is now stuck in White Apple Mode.
    Put it in DFU/Recovery Mode & connect to iTunes but that stupid above message keeps appearing & I have already read/tried EVERYTHING to get rid of that message, starting with: 
    1.  OLD phones (3Gs) with OLD iOS 3.1+ should work FINE with OLD Mac (iBook) with OLD OSX (Tiger 10.4.11) with OLD iTunes (9.2.1[5]).  So that can't be the problem.
    Here's all the other things apple & others say to check which I already checked:
    2.  USB ports are FINE, both work FINE, so that's not the problem.
    3.  No "extra USB devices" are connected, ONLY a mouse, & then the phone (yes, I tried it w/o the mouse connected but that didn't help).
    4.  No "usb hubs."
    5.  Latest iTunes for this OSX has already been DL'd (iTunes 9.2.1[5]).  If you know of a newer one for this OSX, please advise.
    6.  No antivirus software.
    7.  No security software.
    8.  No routers; only 1 comcast modem, period.  Wired Ethernet.
    9.  No wifi gadgets, no wifi at all.
    10.  No firewalls, except what is on iBook in the SHARING/System-Prefs. section.  It's turned OFF.
    11.  Did the hosts/terminal thing sudo nano whatever it was.  There were only 3 lines, NO gs.apple.com:
    xxxxx local host
    xxxxx broadcast host
    xxxx local host
    Oh, & btw, ATT officially unlocked this phone (after I filled out their online forms) but I can't finish the process via iTunes to get their Confirmation that "Device is Now Unlocked," so I can use T-Mo.
    So that's it.  If you have any other ideas of what to do from here, since from your comment, maybe it's the stupid JB on this phone that is causing the problem (???), please advise.
    Many thanks!
