You will need to restart from the beginning. Try temporarily turning off all your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed and see if that stops the network timeout.

Network connection timed out (Error -3259)

I've been REPEATEDLY getting "Network connection timed out (Error -3259) for two specific TV shows I'm trying to download. Other shows and songs are downloading just fine, which indicates there is nothing wrong with the network.
I have already tried deleting the temporary files from the DOWNLOADS folder, but no luck.
I have also tried restarting these two epispodes DOZENS of times.
I've heard from various web sites that Itunes will not work properly with internet service from Time Warner. Is this true? I have no way to change my ISP as TW is all that's available to me.
Since the series is sequential, I want my money back for all the episodes after the first one I can't download, or to make alternate arrangements to FTP the files directly rather than using the Itunes Store. How do I go about doing this?

Can't complete song download: "Network Connection timed out Error=-3259"

Songs recorded as purchased but when downloading I receive this error message: "Network Connection timed out err=-3259"....this is a new laptop and the internet connection seems to be working but not sure why I can't complete my song download. Please help!
Thanks!

Dell Inspiron Laptop Windows 2000

I too am having the same problem. New computer (Dell Inspiron E1505) and new Nano. I've disabled my firewall access, allowed for full access for iTunes, I remain connected to the internet, I remain connected to iTuens store (I can listen to music, see my account info and even see the purchased songs), but I can't download my songs without getting the error 3259 message network connection timed out.
I contacted Apple/iTunes; they haven't found a solution other than disabling my firewalls, which as I've said I've already done.
I contacted my ISP and they thought it was a version problem. They suggested that I try to download iTunes version 6, but that hasn't worked either. I just hope someone has a solution. I'm about to take back my ipod and forget the whole thing. Good luck to you and wish me luck!

MusicStore: "network connection timed out" error message

I am very frustrated. Just got an ipod for xmas and i love it. downloaded a bunch of songs and movies.
now, for whatever reason, i get an error message when i try to go to the Music Store: "network connection timed out. make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active and try again.".
Other facts
-i don't have any third party firewall, except the XP one which is turned off
-i have full internet connection (both on my home wifi and when i plug in the lan cable)
-i have erased and reloaded the latest i-tunes 6.0 software
-i have shut down and rebooted my machine at least a thousand times
-i have done the change to the windows "hosts" file as was mentioned by another user.
Can anybody help???
thanks

Network Connection Timed Out Error

Hi,
I've recently been given a secondhand iPhone still running iOS 4.3.3. I just tried downloading iOS 7, but just as it got to the "35 minutes remaining" mark I got an error message saying the network connection timed out and the request could not be completed. I have very limited data and as this has already used a very large portion of my data allowance, I don't want to start again. Would what has already been downloaded have been saved somewhere so that I can just continue, or do I need to start again, as this is what happened when I tried again?
Thanks.
Jess.

Podcasts -- network connection timed out since 8.1.1 upgrade

Ever since my installation of iTunes was upgraded to 8.1.1, I have been getting several "network connection timed out" error messages on my podcast subscriptions. They are not all coming from the same place, either. I have been able to go to the iTunes store and download new episodes, but the convenient RSS aspect of podcasts seems to be broken in this version of iTunes.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Do you have a fix.

Afraid most of mine don't use feedburner addresses, fed via the iTunes store.
I've noticed that one of them now shows a new podcast on the store but it still won't update. I also tried to subscribe to this podcast using feedburner, but iTunes wouldn't update that either.
I've never been a big fan of the iTunes application. May be it's time to look for an alternative. You'd have thought that for a Mac user it'd be the podcast application of choice.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Network connection timed out....err 3259

Please help! iphone5 is in recovery mode after trying to update to iOS 7, but will not restore. Keep getting "network connection timed out' error 3259. I have disabled my firewall, uninstalled any sort of antivirus (was Norton), flushed dns cache, uninstalled/reinstalled itunes twice, started itunes "run as administrator", many times restarting my computer. Made sure the time/time zone were correct on my computer. What am I doing wrong?
Super frustrated--my iphone is basically useless until I can restore it.
I would go to an apple store to ask these questions, but the nearest one is 3 hours away.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Oh.. sorry forgot Carrie.. I'm on Verizon.net DSL for my service provider.. Not Road Runner.. So not sure if it's an Internet Provider issue.. And as I've said before.. It worked fine before when I downloaded "Pirates of the Carribean" And "Stick It" No problems.. Just as of the other night all these errors started..
I do have some insight to this issue.. And in my opinion.. And my experience.. It's almost as if Apple's Firewall to the port in which the movies download is being blocked.. I've checked my Norton Antivirus to see if it was me.. But everything is fine on my end.. Even Disabled Norton's Firewall completely off to trouble shoot.. And still the same errors.. So It's not me.. Even uninstalled and reinstalled ITUNES 7.2 itself.. Not that either.. As I said.. It feels like the port in which the movies are downloaded from is being blocked when it shouldn't.. You can plainly see a connection trying to be made.. And when initiating.. It tries and tries, then you get the error.. Because it failed to make connection.. This may be the case for the music as well and any other purchased items from ITunes store.. When purchased.. The script should open up the ports for that customer and allow full access.. But something is stopping it.. Could be a script error.. Not sure.. Just me thinking of multiple things it could actually be..
And finally.. I hate to say this.. And anything is possible at this point.. But since the installation of IE 7.. I've noticed errors on applications I would of never dreamed possible in the past weeks.. So i'm afraid IE 7 may be on the list of possibilities as well. And may be worth looking into on Apple's part as well.. Just an idea.. Since I have no control of this situation.. I thought i'd shed some insight on it and try to be of some help until it's actually fixed..
Hope it helps out ..

Hi Robertfrom Denver.
Did you try the solution given, and if yes, did it work?
I have done several "attempted downloads, and see the full file download, typically taking 30 minutes to complete, and then something goes wrong.
I am happy to suspend AV and FW software, but would like to know if it is a good fix or not first?

When trying to connect to Airplay speakers I get error message "The network connection timed out" although some sort of connection is made as the speaker is turned on. Same thing with Apple TV. Is the distance from my speaker/ TV the problem?
