Getting (err = -3259)

I've been getting (err = -3259) when trying to download some podcasts. The odd thing is that they download slowly for a few minutes then it gives me the error. Also I've tried shutting down my anti-virus and the windows firewall but it doesn't help. I've also unchecked simultaneous downloads also to no avail. Finally, I am using the newest version of iTunes. Some podcasts though work fine. Any Suggestions?

  • I keep getting Err = -3259

    I have spent 2 days on the phone with Apple Support, although they are nice and located in the US they cannot solve my problem. I have been trying to update my Verizon iPhone 4 for over a week and each time I do I get Err = -3259 (timed out). I have unistalled all of my Apple software from my computer and reinstalled. I have also uninstalled my McAfee Total Protection prior to installing and still get the same error. Anyone know how to resolve this issue?

    Me too - I've been trying to download a TV episode since Friday and it won't go past 3 mins - ordinary or HD. Never seen this before - can't delete file and 'check for downloads' keeps starting the download, then returning the same error message

  • ITV Keep getting err = .3259

    Temporarily disable ALL of your antivirus/antispyware software and try again.

  • Getting err = 3259 after 1/3 of podcast download

    Since upgrading to 11.1.5.5  , I am seeing all podcasts I have in my download queue start, get about 1/3rd of the way done and then time out with a err = 3259 error.   Other forum posts suggest disabling firewalls - which I have tried , but this problem happens after a large part of any download completes.   This is the case for multiple downloads, different podcast ...
    I have already uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes...
    Suggestions?

  • Cant download iOS Developer Videos, getting err 3259

    Hi
    I have tried to download some videos from the Apple site related to iOS Development but the download fails each time in iTunes with err 3259.
    Have tried this on both my Mac Mini (Lion - Up to date and iTunes up to date) and Windows 7 machines.
    Firewall is disabled on both systems.
    Downloads of iPad apps etc works fine just not videos from the Apple Developer site, any help/pointers would be appreciated.
    Ta
    John

    I would add that this error shows up only when trying to download a video from any of these 'Developer on iTunes' collections: WWDC 2009 Sessions, Mac Development Resources, iOS Development Resources and Safari Development Resources. There's no such problem for WWDC 2010-2012 (both SD and HD) videos

  • I am getting err-3259.

    I have completely removed itunes and reinstalled the latest version.  I am running Windows 8, but have been receiving this error before on both my laptop and new desktop.  How do I fix this error.  The fix listed on this site is sorely out of date.

    Success! By disabling all my Kaspersky anti-virus and firewall (reluctantly!) I finally managed to download (save not run) all of the ios5 update for my iPhone4. I am happy to report that it is now loaded and on my phone and working well. (For the record I was using iTunes ver 10.5 and Windows 7 Ultimate.)
    Solution in my case: Shut down all anti-virus and your firewall during the download of the ios5 update on iTunes. (Switch it back on after the successful download!).
    Problem solved. Hope this works for others. Signing off.

    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?

  • When updating to iOS 5.0.1. get the err -3259, thus unable to install new iOS. The message I receive goes: "THE NETWORK CONNECTION TIMED OUT.  MAKE SURE YOUR NETWORK SETTINGS ARE CORRECT AND YOUR NETWORK CONNECTION IS ACTIVE, OR TRY AGAIN LATER."

    Does anyone know how to solve this tiresome problem, please!?? The update is downloaded upto 723.5MB, and is required upto 723,6MB, then the error message pops out! Tnx.

    I have a quick wifi connection (Mac shows it as about 35 megabits) but I couldn't get the 5.0.1 OTA to work, I had to do it via cable to my computer's iTunes - and as I was already on iOS 5 it was only a small download, basically the same size as the OTA size.
    As the original poster is talking about a 730 meg download then I assume that they are still on iOS 4.3.5 or below and can therefore only download via their computer's iTunes - you need to be on iOS 5+ before you get the OTA option.

  • I cannot get my podcasts to download anymore. It says err 3259. Also cannot get the new itunes update to download

    I cannot get my podcasts to download anymore. It says err 3259. Also cannot get the new itunes update to download. Can anyone help. This has been going on for days.

    Err 3259 means that the download has taken too long to respond. Are you sure your internet connection is okay? Have you tried powering your router off and then on again?

  • I'm on 4.2.1 and keep getting timed out (err=.3259) when trying to download 4.3.3. I have tried disabling the firewall and antivirus but still no luck. Any ideas?

    I had the same problem! I don't know what caused it, possibly slow Internet but I suppose my antivirus or other software could have affected it. Maybe it's an iTunes problem.
    After restarting the download at least 5 times in iTunes after it timed out, I found this website. I didn't know this before, but you can download the update in your browser and then apply it to your iPhone in iTunes once it finishes. I used Firefox 4 and it downloaded without timing out once. All you have to do is hold down Shift and then click on Update in iTunes and it will prompt you to select the update that you downloaded and it will apply it.
    Try this and let me know how it works!

  • I cant download the latest software update I get 652.7 or 652.8 of file then I get an err=-3259 it says I have timed out and I have not!

    Does anyone have an issue downloading the latest iPhone update.  I get 652.7 of 652.8 of the file and then an err=-3259 and it says i have timed out.  I know I have not timed out though any help?

    Temporarily disable ALL of your antivirus/antispyware software (that includes the included MicroSoft software and any other installed software such as Kaspersky, McAfee, etc.) and try again.
