Iphone update download error

I have been trying to update my iPhone 3G now for the umtieth time. It sometimes downloads up to 210 MB but the download never completes and instead iTunes reports: stopped (err = -3253). It also reports in a separate window: There was a problem dowloading the software for the iPhone (xxxx"s iPhone). The network connection was reset.
This seems to happen when our satellite broadband slows down slightly which makes me think that iTunes/Mac OS X resets the connection far too soon. Very annoying! Is there anything I can do about this?
Thanks

Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software that is interfering with itunes attempts to contact Apple's servers. So, try disabling ALL security & firewall software.

  • Mac OS 10.6.8 update download error

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro and was looking forward to installing Lion but I have to update from 10.6.7 to 10.6.8 first.  I went to Software Update and the download progress bar went all the way to the end at which point I got a "Mac OS 10.6.8 download error."  It said there were problems connecting to the download server.  The other 5 updates that the Software Updater app found that I could use downloaded and updated just fine.  I tried restarting and re-updating but get the same error.  What's going on?  How do I fix this?  Thanks.

    My other updates did not update either.  I do the download - OR TRY TO DO THE DOWNLOAD - after several minutes of what seems to be downloading... then it asks - "Would you like to install these downloads?"  I click Yes.  It begins to do something - and after a few minutes it says - "Error - problems ocurred while connecting to the download server." By not doing these updates I know this is what is slowing my down computer and sometimes making it down right stagnant like a PC.  I sometimes have to click on the same thing four or five times to get it to do the function.  I have been getting this message all week.  I have 8 updates that need to be completed and I am using 10.6.8 Mac OS. 
    ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!! I am frustrated!  My husbands PC laptop is in the shop - for the 5 or 6th time.  I had almost convinced him to go Mac... I need this work RIGHT!

  • IPhone 3GS - download error tap to retry

    I know it's been asked before but I haven't found an answer that works yet.
    I have an iPhone 3GS running IOS 6.1.3 connected to my iTunes account with a valid an active iTunes Match subscription.  This has been working perfectly until the last couple of days.
    Now when I try to download a song it tells me download error, tap to retry.  This happens on every song I try to download, whether a purchased one or from my match account.
    I also have an iPad 4 running IOS 7.0.4 and this can download songs fine connected to the same WiFi network so it obviously isn't a problem with my network or with my account.
    Has something changed recently making the iPhone 3GS incompatible with iTunes? 
    I have hard reset the phone to see if this made a difference but nothing has changed.  The song and playlist details download fine from match but the track itself doesn't.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Is this on Wi-Fi or Cellular data?
    What happens when you switch from one to the other?
    Has the device been restarted?
    What about Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?

  • 3.0 update download error -5000

    My wife has purchased the 3.0 update but all attempts to download retrieve a 0.4kB file and error -5000.
    Similar problems are reported elsewhere but not this particular error number -5000. She has tried over several days so it is not likely to be a server problem. There do not seem to be any other network problems and I have ensured firewalls are off and no virus /blocking software is running.
    In case it is relevant, we share the iTunes music folder and she only has read access to that. I changed it to read/write access in case iTunes was trying to store the download there but that made no difference.
    Has anyone found a resolution to the update download failures?

    This really sounds like a network or server error. Having the write access to that directory turned off was also a likely contributor. The actual update file is over 200 MB. If you haven't deleted (and emptied the trash as well) that file, do so before you try the download again. You also might want to repair permissions as well as switching permissions in the middle of something may have created a problem.
    If you are the admin on the system, why don't you download it under your sign in. I'd be curious to see if you have problems.

  • TS3694 Iphone update download problem

    I am trying to update my i phone with the 7.1.1 I downloaded it but it will not complete, no error code.  Only says itunes could not backup because the backup is corrupt or not compatible with the iphone kgulla,  Any suggestions?

  • Re iPhone update download failure

    I don't know how many times I've tried to download the latest update (l have an iPhone 4) and it fails each time giving error message 9006. When I look this up, it relates to security software, but I turned off my security software and it's still failing. Help???

    Ok, discovered another firewall, PC Tools Firewall Plus, is up and running, but I can't find it to turn it off. When I search it gives me a link to my start menu, but that folder is empty, there is no other folder that I can find with this firewall in it, so how come it is running? Could that be stopping the download and how come it's never stopped any other downloads, like music, files from emails etc?

  • Iphone update (-37) error? help?!

    Hey so i have synced my iphone, i went to update and it was backing up and stuff for an hour and a half and then it came up with the message saying
    " An error occurred while backing up this iPhone (-37) Would you like to continue to update this iPhone? Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPhone."
    I really want to update to ios5 but i reaally dont wanna lose all my stuff like my notes, texts, photos and stuff can any one help me out? i have tried three times and the same thing keeps coming up.
    thanks heaps
    xo

    First man up and admit, that itunes does not suggest, but tells you that update is available and you made a
    decision to download and update. Once you man up - think if you still under warranty. If that is not security
    software according to the link provided, it is hardware. So second try another network, may be your network
    has additional security or firewall. And third decide if it worth to you pay 149 for that phone or get it replaced.
    Unless your 3gs under warranty.

  • Update Download Error

    I'm trying to update Photoshop CC Photoshop. I keep getting a download failed error (#49). Adobe's troubleshooting provides no help at all. There are some troubleshooting links, but the two numbers do not match the error I am getting. Apparently, there is no way to contact Adobe about the issue. Very disappointed in Adobe's lack of support.

  • Photoshop update download error

    I receive this message when I download updates;
    Photoshop 13.1.2 for Creative Cloud
    Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7
    Extension Manager 6.0.4 Update
    Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7
    Any idea what it means?

    As I mentioned on another discussion thread -
    Once the update failed I could no longer launch Photoshop CS6. I got a dialogue box that popped up saying "Adobe Photoshop CS6 has stopped working." I tried a number of things, including trying to reinstall Photoshop CS6. Maybe I did something wrong but I couldn't get any joy. Luckily, I had a recent Drive image which I restored and got my lovey Photoshop back again.
    I then did as someone suggested and attempted to update from within Photoshop itself. Unfortunately, the same horrible result. Have just restored my drive again and will not try to install update 13.1.2 until I know that the problem has been addressed and fixed by Adobe.
    By the way, as my attempt to reinstall Photoshop, as per the Adobe suggestion, didn't help, should I have reinstalled the entire Creative Suite Master Collection? If that is what I need to do then I will most definitely forgo this update.
    I just had a look at what this update is supposed to do. It apparently gets rid of a bug  that when you open a copy of Photoshop CS6 that you purchased, a notice displays that you can try this product for 30 days. As I don't have this issue, I wonder why I got the update anyway. Maybe that is why it is causing so much angst. It is supposed to fix a specific problem that I don't have.
    I suggest that if, like me, you don't have this "Trial Screen Display" bug, don't install the update.

  • What does the update download error message "there was an error downloading this update" mean?

    Trying to download and install updates to CS5.  Everything looked normal, got the progress bars for downloading and installing the updates.  Then at the very end received message that the update failed to install because there was an error downloading the update. This has happened repeatedly. Just completed a clean install of the OS (Win 8.1) and CS5. Appears the update manager created the required folders. A subfolder for each of the CS5 apps was created in the  AAMupdater folder.  Each of the apps had a subfolder, but contained only a XML file.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

    do you have any security/firewall programs blocking the adobe updater?

  • Slow internet / update download error

    Hi,
    I'm trying to help fix my dad's Imac G5 2.1 Ghz (OS X 10.4.2), but am having a real hard time in doing so. Please help me!
    The problem lies in the connection with the internet and it has been going on for some time now. Problems:
    - some webpages will load half way and then loading will stop
    - safari crashes on some webpages (youtube), does not load images on others (bbc.com)
    - when downloading an os x update the following error appears: a networking error has occured: timed out (-1001)
    - some pages do work normal, for instance Apple.com
    This is the list of things I have tried so far:
    - completely new reinstall of OS X 10.4.2 from the original discs
    - creating a new network location and adding certain DNS codes
    - turning the computer and router on and of
    The Imac is connected through Airport, as are a number of other computers on our home network. My own Macbook Pro runs on it perfectly.
    I'm totally clueless, would like to help my dad on this 2nd christmas day.

    does not load images on others (bbc.com)
    I'm not sure this has anything to do with it, but I find it curious anyway...
    www.bbc.co.uk/212.58.253.68 is from United Kingdom(UK)
    wwwimg.bbc.co.uk/212.58.253.67 is from United Kingdom(UK)

    newsimg.bbc.co.uk/74.203.241.33 is from United States(US)
    I'd open Network Utility, Ping tab, and ping each of those names or numbers & see if there's any Packet losses.
    creating a new network location and adding certain DNS codes.
    Are these the ones you tried?

    Also, have you turned off IPv6 ?

    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...

    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
