Iphone 4 won't restore-network timed out error?

I updated my iphone 4 to iOS 7.0.3 and when it said to connect it to itunes I did and got an error message saying my phone was in recovery mode and i needed to restore it..
I tried restoring it and when it was almost done downloading an error message popped up and said the network timed out.. It has done this more than 3 times now. I turned my firewall off. I'm not using wireless internet, the modem is connected straight to my laptop.. my itunes is up to date.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO!!!
HELP!

Hey Da_urban_spaceman!
Here is an article for you that will help you address this specific error code:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors

Check USB connections
Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

HT1386 Help iphone won't connect - "device timed out" error AGAIN & AGAIN

I recently updated my phone to IOS 7.02 and now when I try to connect to itunes I get a "device timed out" error. Thinking it must just be my itunes out of date, I updated it too. Again and again the " device timed out" error still happens. What an utter mistake to have loaded the new IOS. I have scoured the help files, I have looked at hundreds of discussion threads - nothing. The only thing I find is many many people seem to have this issue and no one can get it solved. obviously Apple doesnt give a crap if you are forking out every 6 months.

Hello,
I would run through the troubleshooting steps in the following document - which one you choose depends on the operating system you're running. You've already done some of the early steps such as updating iTunes, but there are a couple of other steps you can try, such as verifying Apple Mobile Device Support is installed:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
or
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
All the best,

Anyone know why my Iphone 4 will not update to the 5.0? It gets to the very end and says network timed out error 3259, Anyone know why my Iphone 4 will not update to the 5.0? It gets to the very end and says network timed out error 3259

Anyone know how to fix this problem..... I am trying to update and download the latest version for my phone and it gets all the way to the end and says network timed out error 3259 or something. I have tried a so many times and get the same answer. I have restarted the computer, internet, etc. NOTHING. HELP!!!

Are you doing this over a wireless network. This happened a long time ago when we had DSL. I got sick of it and went to broadband thru our cable company.
If you are using wireles router, use a cable and connect your computer via the cable to the modem or wireless router if you have a location for the cable upon the wireless router. I think it is a cat 5 cable that connects the computer to your modem or wireless router. This way you Internet should not time out.
I hope this helps you. It is hard to identify the issue not knowing your Internet connect setup. Some modems and wireless routers have more Port options.

I keep getting network timed out errors when downloading iPad software

How do I download ios5 without getting network timed out errors?

Try temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed.

I restored my computer, now when I try to update my iphone it keeps saying networked timed out but my internet works just fine. What can I do?

I keep getting a "Network Timed Out" error while trying to update to iOs5. Help?

I've tried about 100 times to update and every time I get an error saying that the network has timed out.

Temporarily disable any security software... anti-virus, firewall, malware, etc.

My purchased songs won't download, connection timed out (error -3259)

Every time i purchase a song it says for example: There was a problem downloading “It's Not My Time / It's Not My Time - Single / 3 Doors Down”.
The network connection timed out. It says error -3259. This is very irritating SOMEONE HELP ME?!?!?!?!? PLEASE

several issues were related to poor band width. Even though my cable dsl was considered high speed, I needed to upgrade to the next level up of high speed internet with my ISP to get full band width. As soon as this change took place, all my downloading issues were resolved. It had nothing to do with the itunes software.

Everytime I try to update my iPhone it replies 'Network timed out' Error = 3259 ?

I've googled, and done everything, still no luck

Try temporarily disabling any anti-virus or firewall software that you hav during the update. These can interfere with the download.

Iphone won't restore after last update error -34

AFter this last update, my 3GS won't do a full restore. It keeps saying that iTunes was interrupted and gives error (-34). Any help please??

I just got the iPhone 4S today, and previously had the 3GS. I started my iPhone as a "new" one in the store, but then I lost all my app data. So, I thought I'd restore it and backup from a version of my old iPhone. Before it would restore, it had to download 5.0.1. As it restored (and this has happened twice), the progress bar in iTunes made it about 99% of the way across, and on the phone it stopped at about 2/3rds. I checked the trash and the 5.0.1 file wasn't there (just 5.0 from my old phone). What can I do?

Possible "network timed out" error 3259 solution

After trying for two weeks I think I found a solution. I figured out that itunes only started giving me these errors after I installed the new Mcafee Internet Suite, not after I got the new itunes. If you have McAfee try this.
click the start menu, go to run, type in "services.msc" (without the quotes)
go down to McAfee redirector and right click on it and click on stop.
Then try to download your stuff. It worked for me. Hope it works for some of you as well. Good luck!

Thank You! Thank You! Just purchased a Nano IPod, purchased my first song, and dang, if I did not get error 3259. Been trying for 2 1/2 days for a solution, and nothing was working for me. It also solved another download problem for me. Again, THANK YOU!

HT4972 It still did not work. I keep getting a network timed out error.

This is really making me upset. Why can I not update my iPad 2.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Keep getting "network timed out" message when trying to download tv shows -

Howdy all!
For two days I've been trying to fix a problem: when I go to the Itunes store and buy tv shows (CSI, Battlestar Gallatica) I can buy them, start the download, but after a minute all of the downloads stall and I get the error message "network timed out" "error 3259"). However, I can download podcasts at lightning speed, and my connection is very high. the error message said there was a problem with the itunes store.
I deleted itunes several times, reinstalled, went through and deleted all the old files, reinstalled, and tried several times. Each time I get the same message
The itunes store says: "Hey, you bought this, but unsuccessfully downloaded it before. want to try again?"
and each time it fails.

I tried to see if the problem was with the itunes store - I bought a song and it downloaded in seconds. I then went to the tv shows section and tried to download a "free" tv show - and got the same message. So in this case, the error only seems to be with downloading tv shows.
I'm at my wit's end - don't know what to do.

I started getting a Timed Out error message on my iPhone 5 when browsing the web that reads Page could not be loaded. Connection timed out. I performed a Reset Network Settings and still get the error. What is the fix?

I started getting a Timed Out error message on my iPhone 5 when trying to browse the internet tthat reads Page could not be loaded. Connection timed out. I performed a Reset Network Settings and am still getting the error message. What is the fix?

Thanks so much for more direction.
I realized that I bought this iPod T4 about a year ago, so decided to check the date and it is still under the 1 year ltd. warranty until 21 Dec. I contacted Apple via Chat and was informed that the problem may lie in the version of iTunes I was running 10.7. Today Apple released v. 11 of iTunes which I was instructed to download. It's TOTALLY different from iTunes 10.7 - drastically different in fact.
The Apple Chat Rep set up a phone call appointment forl 8:00 pm ET tonight where another Rep will call me to make sure the restore was accomplished OK. With v. 11 of iTunes I can't even find the restore option!!! The phone Rep will have to help me navigate v. 11 of iTunes. It doesn't seem intuitive at all. Maybe it's just me?!?!
Thank you for sending this new link for firmware. It's not clear to me right now whether I'll need it or not. The phone Rep will probably somehow be able to resolve the problem. If not, they'll probably send me to the nearest Apple store if the problem is hardware, as it would be covered under the warranty. I will give another update as to what transpires as a result of the phone call with the Apple Rep.
Again, thank you so much for helping me.
