I'm getting error (-3259) whilst trying to update to version 4.3.2.

I'm wondering if anyone can help me here. I try to update my iPhone as it says there is an update available, and it fully downloads. It then tries to verify the download and I get an error (-3259). Can anyone help me with this as it would be greatly apprieciated?
Thanks.

See: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
This error usually means that iTunes cannot contact the Apple activation servers gs.apple.com. Possible causes include your firewall, router, or antivirus blocking access, or, if you have ever used a program like tinyumbrella or recboot to try to fix your phone when it was in recovery mode it corrupted the hosts file on your computer. You will need to edit the hosts file and delete all lines containing gs.apple.com.

  • I keep getting error -3259 when trying to update my iPad to iOS 5, how do I fix this?

    I have tried everything! Updating my system, using system restore, turning off all my firewalls, updating all my security programs, uniinstalling iTunes, reinstalling iTunes, googling the answer and I can't seem to find anything to do with this specific error anywhere! What do I do?

    Error 1 or -1
    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

  • Error -3259 when trying to update iPhone

    Getting error 3259 when trying to update newest iPhone version. I'm not tech savvy so could someone explain what this is and what exactly I need to do to fix this! I've not had this problem until recently.

    Another topic is talking about this. The is an Apple server problem and not a problem with your iPhone or local iTunes environment.

  • Keep getting error 4002 when trying to update Genius

    I haven't seen anyone write about getting error 4002 when trying to update genius in itunes. I select update genius and it gathers information and sends it to the itunes store I assume. And then waits a few seconds and then I get the following message "Genius results can't be updated right now. An unknown error occurred (4002) Please try again later." I've been getting this message for well over a month and I keep hoping they'll be an update or somehow it will magically be fixed, but nothing has changed. Anyone have any insight on this one?
    The current ituned library it 123GB and is stored on external drives. It should also be noted that when I first turned on genius when it was released it went through this whole problem without a hitch. I just can't update Genius with any of the music I've added since then. I can't even get genius to recognize music that I got from the itunes store since I've had the problem.

    Be careful - this was a disaster for me. Once I did this, I got a different error - an error 4010 and in trying to recover, caused a lot of library issues that forced me to go to a backup to fix. You'll find a lot of people having the 4010 problem. Basically iTunes Genius is a disaster and Apple isn't fixing it.

    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...

  • Why do i get error 43 when trying to update iphone3

    why do i keep getting error 43 when trying to update iphone3? very frustrating please help!

    If you back up your device manually before syncing, you can restore it from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    To backup manually do this:
    Connect your iPod to your computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your iPod let iTunes erase all media content and  restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.

  • TS3694 getting error 3004 when trying to update to ios7

    I keep getting error 3004 when trying to update to ios7

    I was trying to update my iphone 5 to IOS7 and couldnt do it for 5 times then I did the following and was able to update it right away
    Clearing your DNS cache may resolve the issue and enable you to connect to the iTunes Store.
    The easiest way to clear your DNS cache is to shut down your computer completely and then restart. If you can't shut down, you can clear your DNS cache manually.
    Click Start and choose Run.
    In the dialog that appears, type “cmd” (don’t type the quotes) and click OK.
    After the DOS prompt (C:\), type “ipconfig /flushdns” (without the quotes) and press Enter. Make sure you enter a single blank space after “ipconfig.”
    Let me know if it solved the issue for you

    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

  • Error 3259 when trying to update to 4.2

    Hi
    My iphone is currently on 3.1.3 and i am trying to update to 4.2 to no avail!
    I have turned off the windows firewall, disabled Kaspersky anti virus on my laptop, connected to my broadband router directly via an ethernet cable but it still wont update!
    I have also tried to download the file only - still the same message.
    The furthest I seem to get is to 'processing file' then i get an error message saying network connection timed out (-3259)!!
    I have tried over the last few days almost constantly so have given it plenty of chances!!!
    Help!! Is there anything else i can do?? Seriously am going out of my mind.... surely cant be this hard!!
    Thanks in advance for you help in stopping me going insane!! ;-S

    Still not working... any ideas..
    Some of my apps are now not working... assume it needs version 4??
    I thought if I restored settings it might then update with new version? Do I just press restore on iTunes?
    Help!!!!!!!

  • HT201210 keep getting error message when trying to update iOS to 5.1.1

    I have had no trouble updating the several iPads under my charge at work, however can't update my own.  Am using iOS 5.1 currently on original iPad.  I go to settings and it looks for any updates available and I click install to 5.1.1 but keep getting error message saying there was an error when trying to update.  I am on my home wifi on my iPad.  Have done same procedure with about 5 other iPads with no trouble. What can I do?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • I get error 2324 when trying to update itunes.  Suggestions?

    I get error code 2324 when trying to install the latest itunes.  Any suggestions?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
