IOS update error through iTunes. error-3259

while updating ios via iTunes after some time i get the error - 3259 and couldn't download update message receives. Please help me in this.

I have an iPhone 6, my MacBook's software is current and updated, and when I tried to run the 8.3 software update on my iPhone it prompted me with a black screen, iTunes logo, and the power cord. I plugged my device into the laptop's USB and have it connected to a power source and is on my wifi. The iTunes "update" says it will take 27 hours and is continually stopping every 20 minutes or so giving me error code 1671. I click through all the prompts and it picks up where it left off. I too can not use my phone and am hoping there is a quicker way to update. Anyone else having this issue?

    if yes then how can i save my data or get out of recovery mode.. Is there any safe mode or something like that on which i could access my data..
    P.S. I have not taken any backup of my iPhone on itunes..
    Please help me sort out this issue..

    Recovery mode doesn't mean that all your data is already lost. You only lose your data if you restore it.
    When you plug the phone is into iTunes hold down the home button. iTunes may then give you the option JUST to update the software first. This should not get rid of any data.
    However, if iTunes is only giving you the option to RESTORE and update, then you will lose your data I'm afraid.
    Hope that helps!

    That is usually a symptom thet the phone was hacked or jailbroken. Was it?

  • Can't update iPhone 4S to iOS 5.1 through iTunes or phone itself

    I've tried updating my iPhone 4S to iOS 5.1 through iTunes(latest update) and all i get is the 'Contacting iPhone software update server' box and then nothing. It just stays on this box with nothing happening for as long you allow it.  I've also tried through other Wi-fi networks with no success either.  I don't have wi-fi at home and can't really go wandering all over the country side looking for free wi-fi to use...
    Any help would be great...

    This has happened to me as well. Trying to update either an iPhone 4S or an iPad2, I'm getting the dreaded "waiting for update server" message. 80billion in cash and you can't build data centers to match what Amazon and Facebook seem to have no problem doing?
    Here's a new problem. The update to iTunes 10.6 downloaded no problem. But guess what? The latest versions of Pages and iMovie will only run on iOS 5.1 sooo they won't update on your devices. And don't get me started on how Siri was ruined from its original implementation as an independent app into the slow piece of non-understanding junk it has become today.
    The update to iOS 5 was a nightmare that failed over and over until I finally had to search through online geek forums - something that I am not supposed to have to resort to with Apple products - in order to find out how to trick my devices into overcoming what essentially amounted to poor quality control before release on that install.
    Now I'm going through the same experience. Again. I am reminded of the 90s before Jobs returned. It's clear now that his presence was needed as the final quality controller, and no one exists who can fill that role as of yet. Big doors of opportunity are opening up to people who can get the customer component right, again.

  • Now update ios 6.1 through itunes, but We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time.

    We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time.

    This frequently occurs when the phone has been hacked or jailbroken. Was your phone jailbroken before trying to update? If so you'll have to go elsewhere for assistance because the terms of Use for this forum prohibit discussing support for jailbroken phones.

    Shame you had the iPhone hacked as  O2 usually unlock their customers iPhones happily.

  • Can't install or update apps through iTunes

    Seems I can't install or update apps through iTunes. It keeps giving me error messages. I the only way I can get around this is updating through the App Store app on iPod touch. I think this problem started since updating to Lion.    

    What are the specific error messages?

  • I cannot get apps  to appear in my library menu so i can update them through iTunes. Happened since update to 11.0.2.Have tried all the suggested fixes such as making  the sidebar appear etc New update is 'nasty'

    As stated no matter how hard i try i CANNOT get apps to appear in my sidebar library menu so i can update them through itunes.Has only happened since last update of itunes .Really wish i hadn't updated as i have never had an issue b4.Spent most of day on fone to apple yesterday as the update created an issue that meant i could not sync at all.Anyway thanks to 'james' in arizona we sorted the first piece of trouble the update created .(sortof).
    Not sure why it has to be messed with.Well i spose it is progress!!!
    I've looked at lots of posts re this and tried all the suggestions but just cannot get the magic 'apps' category to appear in my sidebar in itunes???
    One suggestion was that the apps if clicked on would have an 'update ' button but all i can do is delete them
    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
    (running osx 10.7.5 on MBP -slightly tricky cos i also run windows in a 'bootcamped' partition.Mind u itunes etc is in mac partition and has been working fine for the last 10 years!!!!!!!!!)

    I'm going to assume that you use only one Apple ID so the two things that I can think of are to quite all processes and restart all devices and then try to sync those apps again. Quit iTunes, restart your computer and the iPad and then try to sync the apps again.
    The other thing would be to try to reset your iTunes account by signing in and out of the account on the iPad. Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad and then sign in to your account and try again.

    How do I turn on iphone after trying to update software through itunes on computer?

    Normally when updating while connected to your computer running iTunes the iPhone will go through the complete update process and then restart. It will vibrate when it is finished restarting.

    Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • 4s: Cannot Restore iOS 6.01 through iTunes - no error code

    Please accept my apologies if this has been covered elsewhere - I've spent hours now going through dozens of sites and cannot get anywhere.
    I'm having issues with battery life on a 4S (as well as FB not working, but that's minor) after updating to iOS6
    My iPad3 on the other hand is experiencing incredible battery life on it even watching HD films
    So, I'm trying to restore it to Factory settings via iTunes on an iMac - a good starting place.
    Each time I try restore to factory settings I receive the message below (with no error code)
    "The iPhone "X iPhone 4s" cannot be restored at this time because the iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable.
    Please try again later"
    I've tried it probably 20 times, tried using different cables, USB ports, checked all of the advice below (reset, upgrade software etc) but nothing.
    Any advice? I'm slightly nervous after reading other accounts that it can freeze up if something goes wrong.
    Many thanks for reading.
    1. Update to the latest version of iTunes
    2. Verify that your operating system is up to date
    3. Disconnect other USB devices
    4. Check security settings
    5. Restart

    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
