Failed to upgrade the iOS 4.2 for my iPad

My iPad information: iPad 16G, software version: 3.2.2.
iTune version: 10.1.0.56.
when I try to upgrade the iPad to iOS 4.2, then the iTune always show "error = - 3259". I have try many times, but still fail.

Hi Carolyn, hope you might be kind enough to direct me further. I experience the same -3259 error but only after the download of the iOS 4.2 is complete and has progressed to the "processing file" stage.
Given that other iStore downloads via iTunes are successful, I can only infer there must be something special about the type of file in this download that my firewall or antivirus doesn't like. Pausing virus protection or turning off firewall does not seem to have an effect. I did not take the risk step of disabling both; I've asked support for file type data or something else I can use to allow it to pass .. but no joy there.
Have an appointment next week at an Apple store, but hoping some clued-in person might have the answer before that becomes necessary. Difficult as the iPad is actually working fine, just cannot obtain the file to update the OS!
Thanks for whatever thoughts you have.
David

  • TS1398 I installed the iOS 6 update for my ipad 3, now it will not connect to the internet. Has this happened to anyone else?

    Actually I cannot access my home wifi from my laptop or cell anymore either.
    I reset the modem and router about 10 times and called my ISP who said there's no problem on their end.
    I've tried everything I can think of. Any advice?

    Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
    Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
    If that doesn't work, then update iTunes on computer, backup device to iTunes, then restore the device.

  • HT4623 Recently I want to upgrade the IOS for my iphone 4 with my friend's help. Unfortunately, we are unable to do it. Don't understand why?

    Recently I wanted to upgrade the IOS for my iphone 4 following the guidelines closely with my friend's help. Unfortunately, we are unable to do so. I felt disappointed as I am looking forward to installing Apps, WeChat, Whats App, etc. I have bought it 2 years ago. I have read the FAQ, mine is the same as many other complaints as in the Settings-General, no "Software Update" appear but we have follow step by step but failed to do so.
    My friend suggested me to visit Apple Store in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I just wonder if this problem can be solved.  Kindly advise.
    Thanking you in advance.
    Regards/Michelle Gee

    You are following the wrong guidelines. The Software Update option was not introduced until a later version. You need to connect to iTunes to update if you currently have iOS 4 or earlier.

  • I tried to upgrade the ios on the phone and I was asked for my icloud user and password. I don't remember these exactly and I tried several times with different options but unsuccessfully. I also forget my email used to configurate the phone.

    How i said on the question. I tried to upgrade the ios on the phone and I was asked for my icloud user and password. I don’t remember these exactly and I tried several times with different options but unsuccessfully. I also forget my email used to configurate the phone. I have the phone box and the bill. I sent you an email with my problem and attachments with the box informations, the bill and the reset request. What to do? You said to me:
    Your request comes from an unrecognized email domain. Apple accepts email requests only from email domains for Apple-authorized carriers.
    Please re-submit your request using your official carrier domain.
    but this email is authorized, what to do??

    OR have you recently purchased the iPhone secondhand ?

  • HT1688 Since I've upgraded the IOS to 7.0.2 on my iPhone 5, my phone will randomly restart itself.  Is there a fix for this?

    Since I've upgraded the IOS to 7.0.2 on my iPhone 5, my phone will randomly restart itself.  Is there a fix for this?

    Howdy there Tuna241,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPhone is restarting unexpectedly after the update to iOS 7.0.2.
    I recommend the steps outlined in the article named:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Error Message while trying to burn a DVD-R with my MacBook Pro: "The disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.

    While using my Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 to burn a DVD-R I keep getting the error message: "This disc can't be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media."
    So, I tried the iDVD and got the same error message.
    Can anyone out there help me? I've tried both a DVD - R, and a CD.
    I made a short 2:20 minute presentation from iMovie and used the "share" to iDVD, then to iTunes, then I tried exporting it to Quicktime and saved it on my desk top. That is when I tried burning by opening the blank DVD-R in the finder then draging the movie on to it and selecting the burn option. Thank you for your time in helping me with this frustrating problem.
    Peace, Pyxidis

    I have had that same problem, but it was unrelated to any upgrade.
    In my case the optical drive was simply failing, and I replaced it - it was a Powerbook, about eight years old.
    It is possible that it's unrelated to Lion, as unlikely as this may seem, since you've just upgraded.
    Optical drives seem to be the most life-limited component in these computers. The laser just seems to get weak with age.

    Hello pichastos,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot this issue where your camera is displaying a black screen, please follow the information outlined below.
    You see a closed lens or black screen
    If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
    Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
    Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
    Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
    If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping  (camera swap icon). If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • HT5704 I have a iphone 3G. How do I upgrade the IOS . My email no longer works and I get a message to upgrade my IO

    How do I upgrade the IOS in my 3G iphone using the usb cable hooked to my computer ?

    To view the version, use Settings > General > About and look down the list of details shown there; that will usually display the software version.
    iOS 4.3.1 is the last version of iOS for the iPhone 3G. 
    To upgrade iOS (if you're not already running 4.3.1), connect your iPhone to your Mac or Windows system via the cable, launch iTunes if necessary, and follow the instructions that should appear.
    If you are already running iOS 4.3.1, there is no further upgrade.
    What tool or application or support forum or message is presenting the message about your mail and the upgrade?

  • Should i upgrade to IOS 8.3 for IPAD2. my current version is 7.1.2

    should i upgrade to IOS 8.3 for IPAD2. my current version is 7.1.2 and ipad2 is 64gb,wifi +3g

    Do not do it! I just recently upgraded. My ipad 2 is super slow. All the efforts to speed it up/optimize didn’t help much. iPad 2 doesn’t have enough memory and cpu is not powerful enough to handle ios 8. Apple made bad call releasing it (or the intention was to brick old hardware so people go to stores to buy newer hardware). To make matters worse iOS 8.3 is very unstable – my ipad kept crushing very frequently – something I never saw before. Thank god I was able to revert to 8.2. I spent countless hours trying to downgrade to 7.1.2 only to learn that it’s impossible. I even went to Apple store to ask for help with downgrading but they just said what I already knew – it was impossible. Just like mdiamond58 said if I could downgrade to 7.1.2 I would do it in a heartbeat. Thank you Apple for changing my iPad into paper weight.

    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

  • I can not upgrade the iOS on my phone, nor sync the phone because the process starts with backing up the phone which always hangs up at the backing up stage and then will not allow further progress.

    I can not upgrade the iOS on my phone, nor sync the phone because the process starts with backing up the phone which always hangs up at the backing up stage and then will not allow further progress.
    And for this I guess that it is the backing up of my Podcasts - which are free downloads that causes the hang up. These are items that I have played and synced before without issues. I am thinking this way because these are Podcasts that I used to play but sundenly would not play on my iPhone. Each time I try to play anyone of them it generates the message - this movie could not be played.
    I am scared of atempting a system restore because I guess I may lose my SMS for the past two months. Please approach the solution from this point of view.
    Thanks
    Joe

    Please refer to this thread.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3417041
    It may have something to do with one of your backup files that has been corrupted before.
