Error while downloading iphone firmware update (error code -3254)

Hey guys,
I am using the German versions of iTunes and the iPhone. When I connect the iPhone to my machine, iTunes starts up and proceeds to inform me that a new firmware update is available. After the license agreement is confirmed, nothing seems to happen for a few sceonds. Then, an error message pops up which tells me that "an unknown error has occured". The error code is -3254.
I searched Google and these forums for variations of this problem, but couldn't find anything suitable. The error code is not mentioned anywhere.
My iTunes version is 7.6.1.9 (running on Windows XP)
My iPhone has firmware version 1.1.3 (failed while upgrading to version 1.1.4)
I found out that similar errors can be caused by firewall misconfigurations, but the built-in iTunes diagnosis tool didn't report any connection problems (I also temporarily opened all of my router UDP ports, didn't help at all).
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm having the same problem. The download finishes and then it says an unknown error occurred. It says it has something to do with my network connection, but I don't think that's the problem.
Did you find a solution yet?
I tried to reinstall iTunes but it didn't work.

  • Error while downloading iPhone app updates

    Yesterday I tried to download two iPhone app updates. The app store showed the two updates that were available, but when I tried to update them, it kept giving me an error message saying that my iTunes store request could not be completed. I am up to date on iPhone, iTunes, and OS X software, so I don't know why it did this. I had no problem downloading the updates directly to my iPhone. Any ideas? I did catch my wife a few weeks ago plugging her iPhone into the Mac while I was logged in (we have separate user accounts on the computer). I immediately ejected it from iTunes and unplugged it. I didn't notice any changes after that, either in my iTunes library or on her iPhone. Did this make any changes that I may not have noticed? Also, this past weekend I purchased some music in my iTunes account and had no problems downloading it and syncing it to my iPod.
    Edit: I guess I should have seen the Error 5002 thread. That is what mine is doing. Itunes account set for 1-click. No problem on iPod, just on iPhone apps.

  • 7.7 - Install error? Can't download iPhone firmware update

    I downloaded 7.7 yesterday and got an install error, but when I opened it up, it said it was version 7.7 and had the Application menu item. So I thought all was dandy!
    But when I tried to update my iPhone to 2.0, a message popped up that said I need 7.7 installed. I clicked "Update," was taken to Software Update, but of course nothing was found.
    Then I thought I'd try to download it manually, but the download links are nowhere to be found on apple's site: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Any ideas? Please help! I want to get 2.0 installed before I leave for work.

    You have to wait several minutes for iTunes to recognize any new iPod or iPhone after the 7.7 update. There is a major bug with the program. Apple has removed the download from their servers, which I don't think they have ever done, even with minor issues of previous iTunes releases in the past... I'm sure they are working on it and I hope to see iTunes 7.7.1 ready to download soon. You probably can't update any firmware/software until Apple fixes things...

  • I updated my extreme and everything went okay but when i tried to update my express its reads an error occurred while downloading the firmware

    i tried updating my airport utility app on my iphone and ipad when it updated it updated the airport extreme okay,but the airport express keeps showing a message that reads error occurred while downloading the firmware it shows it downloading and then reads preparing and then the error message comes up. can anyone explain o me how to fix this thankyou

    Do you kow if I can I use the AirPort Extreem directly from the ethernet cable coming into the house?
    Is that an Ethernet cable, or is that a phone cable?  The AirPort Extreme does not have a modem on board, so you must use a separate modem with the Extreme.
    Have you been to Becton, TX?
    Been to Lubbock and Amarillo many times, but never to Becton.

  • An error occurred while downloading the firmware

    I have several AirPort's in my home network that have available firmware updates, according to the Airport Utility version 6.3.2 of my iMac (running Mavericks), but cannot update them because I keep getting an error saying "An error occurred while downloading the firmware". Needless to say that my iMac, and my home network, have an active and very decent Internet connectivity.
    My Time Capsule has firmware version 7.7.2 and an AirPort Express has firmware version 7.6.3. I have another Airport Express running with version 7.6.4 that does not needs an update. Every time that I try to update the AirPort devices that report an available update I keep getting the same download firmware error message. This has been going on for days. How can I update these two AirPort devices, or fix my AirPort Utility?
    In the directory /Users/me/Library/Application Support/Apple/Airport/Firmware there is a file called version.xml. If I rename it, and restart the AirPort Utility, my AirPort devices would not report an available firmware upgrade. I tried resetting both AirPort devices and trying to re-update the firmware but keep getting the same error message. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Are you behind a firewall or double NAT??
    What is the device that is immediately plugged into the main modem or router? Has that one been able to update?
    It is plugged in of course isn't it.. no nasty join wireless anywhere??
    The best way to work around these sort of problems is to simplify the network.. Plug each device directly into the main router.. by ethernet. You can trigger the firmware upgrade by wireless but use ipad or iphone version of airport utility and see what happens.

  • 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 while downloading updates on ZTE Open

    Hello, sorry guys for asking lot of questions. I have purchased ZTE Open from ebay store(UK) and i wanted to update my phone to FF OS(1.1) but when i click on Check Now button after sometime it says "Error While Downloading Updates"
    Any Solution?

    OTA 1.1 is still delayed to be pushed, hopefully soon. What you are seeing is a bug that ZTE are aware off & should be fixed with next round of updates. Ignore for now. It's not 1.1, or any update for that matter, just a false alarm.

  • Error while downloading iOS7 in iphone 5

    I keep having an error while downloading it, and also when I try to download the new iTunes software in my MacBook Pro. What do I do? HELP!

    yeah I had errors too for a long while. I just kept trying to update ios 7, and eventually it started.
    if iTunes will not download with the Apple Software update, you should try downloading the iTunes file from the website http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

  • I cannot download the new update - Error code: 43

    I cannot download the new update - Error code: 43 -- what does that mean?

    Hi Arjun,
    From the cc app the preferences option is greyed-out, so I'm not able to sign out and in... yes I'm aware I'm able to update from the app directly.  The issue I found in the past is when I updated Lightroom from Lightroom itself, the cc app did not see it as being updated... still saw it as the earlier version.  So the app said there was an update and I was trying to go into cc to perform the update instead of the app....
    Would be interested in hearing more about the error 43 from Adobe...
    I'm attaching two screen shots, one of the error and the second of the greyed-out preference option.
    Thanks,
    -Erik

  • Even with 10.5.2 my ipad is not getting update to ios 5 .its showing error while downloading.

    even with 10.5.2 itunes version ,my ipad is not getting update to ios 5 .its showing error while downloading.

    If you are getting a network timeout error then try temporarily turning off all your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed.

  • Error while downloading. message on E71 GPS USA Ma...

    “Error while downloading” message on E71 with updated GPS USA Maps
    I’m sure I’m not the only one having this problem but I recently updated my maps on my Straight Talk Nokia E71. The phone says I have map download V 3.03 10wk bo4 Mw Open GL LM MN, Map version 0.1.25.114.and I’m using Nokia Ovi Suite 2.2.1.23. After I installed V3.03, I installed it and download the 1.46GB USA map file and the three turn by turn files. But when I first started the GPS app I started getting the following error “Error while downloading”(This is on phone only)
    I have tried to factory reset the phone, re-format the 8GB memory card, remove City data and GF files and even unloaded OVI Suite and reload it. But every time I select GPS app and start to find places or my position, I get "Error while downloading" message. I’m new to this phone and didn’t get a respectable book from Straight Talk. So I don’t know much about this phone or Nokia OS. What is this error and how do I fix it. Also when I try to sync from the phone I get the response "system error". Ovi suite on the PC says I have downloaded all the USA maps and English voice  with street names. Please help I’m at a lost.
    Computer specs
    I am running Win-Vista, with a Broadband connection. 3 GB Ram, 2 gig Pentium dual core.
    Tran’s flash card has plenty room left on card over 5 gigs left.
    If I need to delete a file on the phone please tell me the exact file name because I’m not sure which one to remove from the apps folder.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    @Action_Jackson
    Welcome to the forum!
    Whilst easy for me to say as keep very little data on device, I would suggest backup essential data then delete E:\cities + ,qf file followed by resetting device to "Out of box" state by keying in #7370# then 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by yourself). At this point you would need to open OVI Maps application on device to re-initialise application and re-define necessary folder structure on memory card for device to be recognised by OVI Suite > Maps to re-download your regional mapping.
