IOS 5 download error -3259?

I keep getting error -3259 when iOS 5 is processing for my iPod. I have perfect internet connection and my iPod is connected. What do I do?

Hey y'all, I ended up going to "google" and searching out how to download iOS 5 apart from iTunes. I found a link that allowed me to download the operating system, then to go into iTunes, under my iPod, then hold 'left-shift' and click 'restore'. It then let me use the new OS file, and updated my iPod perfectly. Make sure you back up your device before doing this as it restores it to factory settings, but you still get the new operating system. I then just synced my iPod with my computer and retrieved all my apps, songs, info, etc... Go here to download directly to your computer...

Can't update my ipod touch 4g to iOS 5, error 3259

I've been trying to update my ipod touch to iOS5. After I wait for 40 minutes to download error 3259 keeps coming out. Who can help me?

Software update download error -3259

I am trying to update my iPad to v4.3.2 but every time the download finishes I get this error message:
There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad xy. The network connection timed out.
Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later.
err = -3259
Tried several times with the same result...

Error -3259 is documented in three Apple KB articles:

FWIW, the error 3000 range can also mean this:

assuming that's a standard Mac OS error code (which is likely), it's a "time out" error, meaning your connection to the store was disrupted.
the only two suggestions that come to mind are: make sure you have a solid internet connnection (if using wifi, try getting yourself close to the router), and that maybe Apple's servers are to blame, in which case give it some time, perhaps try again tomorrow

OS 5 download error 3259

Trying to download OS 5 (without installing) but keep getting error 3259. It happens right at the end when it shows all of the 740+Mb has been downloaded (ie download has already finished), saying the network has timed out. I have unticked 'protect my pc...' when opening iTunes and disabled firewall and all the antivirus, but am still getting the same error.

See "error -3259" here.

Download error 3259

My boss has an ipad, last week he downloaded the 2 entire seasons of 24, and a season of Rescue Me with no problems at all, now he's trying to download a movie and he keeps getting this error. If those shows downloaded just fine why won't the movie download? Our Windows firewalls are disabled by Group Policy so that's not the problem... and our security software hasn't changed since last week when he successfully downloaded those shows so that shouldn't be the issue either. We don't use proxys. He's wired to the internet so it's not a wireless timing out on him issue. He's on the latest version of itunes. He's logged out of itunes store, shut down itunes, and relogged in... same problem. Anyone have a solution to this? He's driving me f'in nuts asking me to fix this "asap".

Interesting ... are you able to set it to Gamer mode?

If so, can you download without the 3259 while Webroot is in Gamer mode?
(Wondering here if the last batch of definition updates for your Webroot have made it a bit tetchy ... fingers crossed, if that is what is afoot, switching to Gamer mode might get you past that.

IOS download error -43

Look at the previous posts on the right side of this page under the heading: "More Like This".

Error 3259 Fix !!!!!

Thanks to whoever it was!!!! If you encounter this error when you purchase songs on Itunes: they either stop downloading, or they wont download at all and you receive "Error 3259", the temp fix is this
Pause All downloads and download each purchased song one at a time !!!! This seems to work.
Dell Windows XP Pro

As ridiculous as this fix is, it does work. I had two songs that wouldn't download (error 3259), I told iTunes to download them again, then I paused each of them and then started each one again and it worked.
This is pretty serious bug in iTunes, hopefully they will fix it soon.

I am getting error 3259 when I try download iOS 5 on iTunes? I have used 3 different computers as well.

In the past 4 days I have tried downloading iOS 5 and keep getting this error. I have even tried it on 3 different computers. I have the latest iTunes 10.6.3.25 and it starts downloading, when it comes to about 200mb it bombs out and gives me the error. What a waste of 200mb of cap!!!!
Please help!!!

I would have googled "itunes error 3259" before I wasted all that time and bandwidth. And would then have most likely followed this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
Turn off your firewall and antivirus.

What does error -3259 mean? How can i update my ipod touch to the new ios 5?

I been updating my ipod touch 4 software to the new ios 5 all day. i tried disabling my security programs and firewall, different download programs and reinstalling iTunes, and restarting my ipod touch. But for each attempt i get a different error. i went to the Specific update and restore errror code page and got a reason for each error except for error -3259. Basically my question is: 1. How can i update my ipod software to io5 and 2. What is the reason behind error -3259?

Connect it to iTunes on a computer and update it from there. Note that the second generation iPod touch(which includes 8GB models sold at the same time as the third generation ones) can't be updated past 4.2.1.

What to do?

Error 9006: Following Troubleshooting security software frequently resolves this error. There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your Registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance.

Guys, since no one was replying I had to deal with it the best I could... Finally found the solution!
If anyone got an error 3259 make sure the following is in place:
- make sure the host file doesn't have the apple ports blocked
- remove all jail brake applications, such as red snow, tiny umbrella...
- logout and log back in to your AppleID
- update iTunes to the last version
- disable antivirus and firewall
- last but not least, the proxy settings can also block the access to the iOS 6 server, so make sure that you don't forget about it!
After that you should be able to update your toy with iOS6...

Error 3259 when trying to update iTouch 16GB to iOS 4.2

Hi... each time I connect my touch to my laptop, iTunes opens, and I am asked to update to iOS 4.2. I have gone through this numerous times, and the download takes place, and starts to process, then I get the error 3259. I am running Windows Vista along with Kaspersky Internet Security 2011. Please give me an idea what I can do now.

I was having the same problem and after several weeks of technical support they basically gave-up and suggested I try installing Kaspersky KIS v12 (2012) (not yet released, but available on their ftp download site as a "current version").
Anyway, I installed it and now I can update my iOS on my iPhone and iPad. Voilla!
However, Kaspersky claim that this is not a common problem. Yeah, right!
If you want to upgrade to KIS v12 (2012) or KAV v12 (2012), then here is how:
1) Download v12 (2012) from the ftp site here:
ftp://ftp2.kasperskyftp.com/consumer-products/Current_Versions/KIS2012/
2) Disconnect from Internet (doh!)
3) Stop Kaspersky (right click on the "K" in the tool tray and select "Exit")
4) Uninstall Kaspersky from the Control Panel (Programs / Add-Delete Programs)
5) Reboot after uninstalling old version
6) After rebooting, install KIS/KAV v12 (2012)
7) When it prompts for install key, re-connect to the Internet and enter the key code (usually on the back of the envelope the original installation disk is in). The key code for earlier versions should work (at least it did for code with KIS 2010, two versions earlier).
8) Reboot when done
Finally, if this works for you (or anyone else), please post here, since Kaspersky seems to think it is very rare case that it worked for me... ha!
