Cannot complete iPad security update download or installation. err= -3259

I've been having trouble downloading and installing the latest iPad security update (iPad version 4.3.5) from the most updated iTunes (version 10.4.1). Whenever it reaches the end of the download, it would give an " err= -3259 " code and indicate that my network connection has timed out. However, there isn't any problem with my network connection (this was even tested with an Apple staff in the Apple store). But they can't fix the problem either and asked for me to call Apple Support. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

Some else helped me with this.

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?

IPod nano wont update because it says its windows based

My iPod wont update because it says that it is Windows based. I have never used it on a Windows machine.
How do i change it to mac based.

In the restore instructions it says that you need to plug the iPod into a power adaptor during the second stage.
Not really.
Actually it says,
"iTunes will present one of two messages on screen with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
* Restore Instruction 1: Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
* Restore Instruction 2: Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models)."
You will get Restore Instruction 2.

HT4623 my ipod ios is 4.1 how do i update cos its says no update available

I have gone tp do an update and its says not update available but its running on 4.1 and some apps require higher?! so how do i do this please?

To update
iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
A 1G iPod can go to iOS 3.1.3
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 yu can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
A 3G to 5.1.1 Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
A 4G to 6 Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 ot later

Hi i haven't updated my iDVD seen 2005 and to get the new one i need 7.0.4 first and i downloaded it from the apple website and when i go into the updating process its says "An eligible iDVD application was not found in the location /Applications." why"

Because you need to buy iLife 08 or newer on DVD first. If you're using iDVD 05, you probably have a PowerPC Mac and can't use iLife 11.

I have a ipod 3rd generation when i try to update it its says i have the latest version

i have a ipod 3rd generation when i try to update it its says i have the latest version

Look at the back of the iPod. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. The 2nd generation iPod touch is model A1288, and 3rd generation iPod touch is model A1318. If you have a second-generation iPod touch, the last release of iOS is can run is 4.2.1.

Goto: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Spotify\UpdateYou will find an update exe like spotify_installer-1.0.11.134.ga37df67b-152.exe Copy its name, including the extention. delete it. create a text file in the same location.rename it to excactely this name. (in my case:spotify_installer-1.0.11.134.ga37df67b-152.exe)make it read only start spotify :) Who needs minor upgrades anyway! Regard,Olafsky

If your iPad is frozen and unresponsive, reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

You can't get around it. It must be restore using iTunes on a computer. If you don't have access to one, make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store.

When try to update apps its says need to go to Bavarian store Do not have account. How do I get to the right store. (United States)

When try to update apps it says do not have account need to go to Bavarian store. Need jot get to United States store. How?

Can you post the exact message you get please. As far as I know, there is no "Bavarian" store (unless you are talking about an import store with merchandise from Bavaria).
Are you trying to go to the Mac App Store (for Mac OS) or the app store for iPhones, iPads, etc???
And, we need to have more information: what Mac computer or i-Device are you on? What version of the OS?

Im Unable to Upgrade to IOS5 (From 3GS) Err -3259..can any once help me pls

When Im trying to Upgrade from IOS 4.3 to IOS 5 .......after completing the total download of the file (668 MB) it is showing the Err-3259
Can any one suggest me the way to Upgrade to IOS5

I was able to download the file manually, but I had to resume the download 3 times.
I am using ATT Uverse's DNS. I have also tried Google DNS and OpenDNS in the past.
None of them have helped with Apple's file download issues.
Again, this is an Apple issue. I can download large files (> 500mb) from all over the net without issue...except for files from Apple.
