  • Can't update to iphone OS4, keep getting 3259 error

    I am DESPERATELY trying to dl the new iphone OS4, but i am continuously getting the error 3259
    13 times with no luck so far! I keep hoping that next time it will work, but it doesn't...
    I have to date:
    *Downloaded latest Itunes
    *Turned OFF my firewall
    *Restarted my computer numerous times
    *UnTicked the "Allow Simultaneous Downloads" in iTunes
    I have no antivirus to turn off..
    My sister downloaded it no problem to her Hp, should I sync my iphone to her computer to upgrade an then come back to mine after? Massive pain in the, but has anyone got any ideas how fix????
    Thanks..

    I've been trying all night, too. Ordinarily in iTunes I can pause and resume downloads, but not with this one; when your connection times out you have to start again from byte zero. What is this, the 1990s? I tried to download and upgrade from work, but iTunes threatens to delete all of my data if I don't use the computer I used in the first place, so that's not an option, either.

  • How can I download iphone software 5 when I keep getting this error message: There was a problem downloading the s/w for the iphone ...The network connection timed out. It's error 3259

    I keep getting an error message saying my network connection has timed out when I try to download the iphone 5 software to my iphone 4 while it's connected to my laptop. Then it says make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. The download gets all the way to the end (takes about an hour mind you), and keeps timing out.  It's error 3259.  FYI, I have the latest version of iTunes.

    Security software on your computer/router is the usual cause of this. Turn off/disable or uninstall all anti-virus software & firewalls. Try again.

  • ITunes 10.5/iPhone 3Gs Connection Errors after upgrade

    I had quite a bit of trouble upgrading iTunes from 10.1x to 10.5. I had to remove ALL Apple products/files/registry entries. After I did this, I ran the installer file (64bit one) directly from the iTunes site. It looked as of everything installed EXCEPT one program installed partially then rolled back the installation of that particular program. The rest of iTunes 10.5 installed with no problems. When I tried to connect my iPhone 3Gs, I received the following error:
    I looked in my control panel and noticed Apple Mobile Device Support is missing now. I assume this the the application that was 'rolled back'. I followed the instructions in the error listed above and the exact same thing happens again.  Here is a bit of background on what I have:

    This is what I did so far:
    Backup up my iPhone before all this started (2 days ago)
    Imaged my drive just in case -ALWAYS have backups
    Uninstalled ALL Apple products from my PC via the Windows Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs
    Cleaned the Registry of all Apple products that I could regognize
    Deleted ALL Apple folders from drive
    Checked to see if any Apple service was running (none were left)
    Rebooted my PC
    Scanned my entire HDD and Registry for all traces of Apple products (none found)
    Went to the official iTunes 10.5 site and 'ran' the installed directly from there.
    All went well till the one program 'rolled back' once again.
    Connected my iPhone and the error listed above remains.
    Ran Apple Updater and found that Safari and QuickTime
    Installed Safari and QuickTime on a chance that it may help fix or repair something that I may have missed
    Cursed/Yelled/Screamed/Cried/Took a chill pill and wrote this plea for help
    This may be a bit more info than most want to see, but on the chance the Apple Support personnel actually look at this post, I want them to see the full details. I work in the IT field, so complex answers are ok to post. I am willing to try just about anything at this point. I appreciate any replies and will give more details as requested that involve this issue.

    This is an update to my original post...
    I was able to install iTune 10.5 finally, but Apple Mobile Device Support will still not install (update actually). I restored my PC to an earlier state (before I first tried to install 10.5 the first time) and now my older version will not start since my iTunes library has been upgraded to the 10.5 format. I am really stuck here. I really want to get me music back since I have nearly 30 Gbs of music and movies I have burned from CDs. That does not even include my iTunes online purchases that I can easily revover/re-download.

  • 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.

  • Error -3259 and Iphone Download

    Thought I might share this with the board...
    I had problems downloading the update from apple. It would start the download and hang half way through the download and give me the fabled "Error -3259" and when I would restart the the download it would give me the error again or endlessly download the file.
    I have a Belkin wireless router on a cable modem (windoze XP). I disconnected the wireless router and it downloaded without a hitch.
    BTW..planning to buy an imac once leopard is announced...is it worth it to go head and buy a airport router NOW since I am upgrading all my computer equipment( good thing to put that $100 rebate)

  • Error 3259 when downloading OS version 3.0 on the iPhone

    Hi,
    I'm getting error 3259 when I'm downloading version OS version 3.0 on the iPhone. It stops at 230MB out of 230.1 MB
    I've reinstalled iTunes, I've disabled the antivirus and Windows firewall with no results. And there is no problem with my internet connection. (I've got OS Windows XP, SP 2, 32 bit on my laptop)
    Does anyone have any idea on how to solve this issue?
    Thank you

    Try actually removing your antivirus/antispware software (and make sure it is all of them) and try again.
