Error 3000-3999: (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3164, 3194, and so on) Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com, or due to your Internet proxy settings.  If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network.  If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again.
==========
This error can usually be fixed by disabling your antivirus or firewall, but if you have ever hacked your phone or used a program to boot it out of recovery mode (like tinyumbrella) your hosts file is now corrupted. You will have to fix the hosts file to resolve the issue.

    See iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
    Try this - Disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • I have a 4th generation ipod and when i try to update it it says that my network timed out and i got error 3259

    My ipod wont update when i try to update it and it says my network always times out and i get error 3259 i need some to help me please. I have also updated itunes several times but it still fails.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • How to fix error 3259 on a mac?

  • Error-3259 when sharing music on itunes 6.0.4.

    I've searched everywhere to find a solution for this error with no answers. I've almost given up using itunes. I've purchased the powerbok G4 months ago and downloaded itunes 6.0.4 version. I don't know if this version is incompatible with the older versions, but I receive an error -3259 everytime I try to share music. They claim that it is for an unknown reason and asks me to check if my computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689. I've looked into it and and everything seems fine. I am still new with Mac and have been asking around, yet no one seems to know why. I've checked the firewall and made sure it was set correctly, checked my airport, and made the correct changes on itunes preferences-no luck.
    Any comments would be great!! Thanx

    Hey, CardsFan
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    That is a very common problem,
    - Just uninstall the whole software.
    - Use a registry cleaner software and clean the reg
    - Restart the pc
    - Download fresh copu of itunes from the Apple site
    - Install
    And them you are done.   
    I really hope this helps you. Let me know if it does. If not feel free to give me a shout. Best of luck.

    I have been trying multiple times to update my iPad's OS from 4.2.1 to 4.3 but could not success. always got error -3259. Please help

    Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com, or due to your Internet proxy settings.

  • Error 3259 updating to IOS 4.3.4 (iphone4) and 4.3.5 (ipad)

    I got error 3259 updating my iphone and ipad to the latest IOS releases. i tried many times. It cant be coming from my end, my connection is good, and tried downloading sessions using my browser, which works just fine. My broadband connection is also fine, im using GPON fiber, high speed.
    It seems that Apple's update servers TTL (time-to-live) settings is off the right scale.
    Apple and users, please help.

  • Error 3259 when tried to download iOS5

    Hi,
    keep on trying to download the update and do all the prompts about backing up stuff before the download etc
    tried it last night didnt get very far and got error 3259...
    tried it this morning and got to about half way and error 3259
    just trying again now and it seems to be estimated time of 5 hours
    now I know I have a crap internet speed but is that about right? is it the slow internet that is making it crash and making me have to start the ENTIRE download again?
    what is error 3259 anyways? I havent had problems with previous downloading of software updates?
    hope someone can help thanks

    Hello all,
    I had the same issue with attempting to update the iOS 5 software for the past week now and receiving the same failed update (with error message).  The anti-virus program that I use is Kaspersky Pure.  I googled and read all threads on how to fix this issue.  Most people recommended doing a direct download, which I initiated, but that didn't work or uninstalling the anti-virus software, which I can't do because I don't have my installation cd.  So, what I did was the following, I wasn't expecting for it to work but I guess anything would help at this point; however this technique worked perfectly and now I have the update !  Keep in mind I have Windows Vista.
    1. I went to Windows Firewall with Advanced Security
    A pop up window will display and you have to go to "Windows Firewall Properties"
    Under (all 3 ) Domain Profile, Private Profile, and Public Profile set the "Firewall State" to off.  Hit Apply then exit.
    2.  Next I went to Kaspersky Pure and did the following:
    I opened the "Settings" for the antivirus program. I went to "Protection."  This will open the "Network Ports" screen.  I unchecked every port (I mean every single port).  Under the same tab I also unchecked "Monitor all ports for specified applications."
    Still working under the "Protection" tab under each sub tab I unchecked everything that was checked
    Finally I restarted my computer with the Iphone connected
    3. Voila! The update worked.
    Hope this helps you guys.

    Hi,
    I have a export file (.dmp file) id :V09.02.00 version
    I have the Oracle 9.0.1.1.1 version .That would be your source.

    I want to know what i will have to do
    A Fresh Installation or any other upgrade patch is available for thisYou have to tell which database version you are trying to go to. Secondly were you trying to preform database migration first?
    Like

    Kindly clear the above.

  • My old laptop crashed, and took my iTunes account with it.  I got a new laptop, and want to sync my iTouch to my new iTunes account.  It gives me an error message stating that I can't sync to multiple iTunes accounts, but I can't access my old one!  Help!

    My old laptop crashed, and took my iTunes account with it.  I got a new laptop, and want to sync my iTouch to iTunes.  It gives me an error message stating that I can't sync to multiple iTunes accounts, but I can't access my old one! 
    How can I get my new iTunes account to allow me to Sync my iTouch?  The only option it gives me is to "transfer purchases" from my iTouch to iTunes, but that is only about 25% of my iTunes library-most of it is CDs I have uploaded.  How can I Sync without losing all my music from my iTouch???
    Also, I have lectures and photos, etc. on my iTouch that I don't want to lose.
    I've tried a few of the iPod copy programs-the free ones and the ones you have to pay for, but I can't find one that will work for ALL my content on an iTouch.
    Right now, I can't get anything from my iTouch to iTunes, and I can't update my iTouch with my new iTunes purchases, so I'm stuck!  Help!

    Also-I tried to use my backup hard drive, but I wasn't able to drag/transfer/send/move any of my muic files onto my iTouch when the iTouch was connected to my computer.  I can't figure out why it won't let me do that. 
    The only thing I can see when I open my iTouch on my computer is my file with photos.  I can't see videos, music, or anything else.  What's going on?

  • I have an iphone 4 (ios 4.3.1). I want to update to the latest ios, but it wouldn't load onto my iphone, I got error message code 3014. I tried again and it said I would lose all the contents on my iphone if I continued - help!

    I have an iPhone 4 (IOS 4.3.1) and it was synced and backed up today.
    I wanted to upgrade to the latest ios on iTunes (today's date is 3rd Jan 2013), it seemed to download ok (it took about 30 minutes or so), but when it tried to update onto the iPhone (I think this was what it was doing!) I got an error message that had code 3014 in it. Nowhere on Apple's website can I find a way to resolve this error code.
    I then thought I would just try again from the beginning, but I then got an error message saying that if I continued I would lose all the contents on my iPhone so I cancelled it as I don't want to lose everything on my phone.
    Can anyone help me as I am not very good at technical things and I really want to upgrade the ios on my iPhone without losing all the data I have on there already. An idiots guide would be great.
    Thanks.

    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.
