Network timeout (err = -3259) with iOS 5.0 update

When downloading the update for iOS 5.0 in iTunes, Win7 machine, and trying to update iPhone 4, it will get to the very end of the download and then give the network timeout error. This happens every single time, and after the file has already downloaded completely. The error code is (err = -3259).
This is a pain because the download is very slow, presumably because everyone is trying to update right now.

Ok, so the trouble I experienced was last week during the fury of downloading from iPhone users all over Earth. I left the problem alone from 10/14-10/18. This morning, I started again. Turned my pc on from it's previously "Shut Down" state, opened iTunes, connected the phone, attempted to DL iOS5. After 20 minutes, I got a similar message, however, this time it wasn't marked 'err-3259'. It said only verbiage to the effect of "the network timed out." I then disabled my Kaspersky and Firewall. Without hope and with much reluctance, I tried the DL again. After several minutes, while I was working on something else, I noticed my phone went into "sync" mode. The rest is history! The DL and updates completed and now the phone is working as it should with the updates (It's an iPhone 4). Lastly, I reinstated protection from Anti-virus and Firewall. Give this a try and I hope it works for you.

I can't find how to apply sound enhancements (EQ) for the podcasts now with iOS 6.0 update

Dears at Apple:
I can't find how to apply sound enhancements (EQ) for the podcasts now with iOS 6.0 update on any of my devices(iPhone 4s, iPhone Touch (4th Gen), iPad (3rd Gen). Most of the "Podcasts" I listen to are music content based and wanted to apply sound enhancements(EQ) like before when integrated with ipod function. Can you consider to "fix" this issue?
Many Thanks!

OK Emanuel I found a solution! I dowloaded and installed "Denon Audio" app from the iTunes store & it works great! It has an EQ you can set curves on manually or use the (few) built in pre-sets. It is a player like the Music app that comes with the iPhone, etc. but restores the EQ functionality so we can adjust the audio of PODCASTS:-) Until Apple fixes this what I consider a bug I will be using the Denon app as my default music player!

Call Forwarding Breaks with iOS 8.3 Update on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus with AT&T

Ever since the iOS 8.3 Update, call forwarding is no longer working on my iPhone 6 Plus. I have spent dozens of hours troubleshooting with both AT&T Advanced Business Technical Support as well as many hours with top technicians from Apple at my local Genius Bars.
This is a critical bug for me as I used to use the call forwarding option multiple times a day, EVERY DAY, because when I am in certain business locations my mobile phone gets no reception and calls go right to voice mail. I need to have them forwarded to the land line I'm located at.
APPLE, PLEASE HELP!!!
I've done extensive testing, and this seems definitely to be related to Apple iOS 8.3, and it seems to be specific to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus ONLY.
To illustrate the EXACT problem:
A: Settings -> Phone -> Call Forwarding
B. Call Forwarding - Turn on
C. Enter Number and return to previous screen by touching the blue "Call Forwarding" to return to previous screen.
D. Call forwarding button is "green" for a split second, then returns to previous OFF state and no forwarding number is displayed. DOES NOT WORK.
NOT AN AT&T PROBLEM. IF SOMEONE IS EXPERIENCING THIS WITH OTHER CARRIERS PLEASE COMMENT HERE.
Further validation this is isolated to iOS 8.3 on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus ONLY and not the sim card from AT&T...
Here are the latest steps I did with my AT&T sim card and my wife AT&T sim card (she has an iPhone 5s):
1. Removed my sim and put it in the 5s. The phone said that a "carrier update" was required and I selected "NO" to that prompt. Call forwarding functionality worked as expected on the 5s running iOS 8.3
2. I removed the sim from the 5s and re-inserted it. This time I selected "YES" to do the carrier update to eliminate that as a variable, and the call forwarding functionality still worked as expected.
3. I then placed my wifes sim in my 6 Plus. Call forwarding functionality does NOT work on the 6 Plus (was not prompted for carrier update). Also, keep in mind this is my second phone (Apple provided me with a new iPhone 6 Plus when they couldn't resolve the problem at the Genius Bar after hours of troubleshooting).
Note: I did one additional test which as interesting: I put my sim in the 5s and turned call forwarding "on". Then, I put the sim back into my 6 Plus. The calls were still being forwarded to the number I put in while it was in the 5s, but the call forwarding interface in the 6 Plus showed that it was NOT forwarding calls. I could not turn OFF the call forwarding from the 6 Plus and had to put the sim back into the 5s in order to turn off the call forwarding.
If anyone has an update on this, or any other suggestions please advise! This is a critical issue for me as when I travel and when I am in poor areas of reception I need to forward calls. This is a featured I was using multiple times a day, EVERY DAY.
APPLE????????? HELP!!!!!!

Yes, I am dealing with this right now on at&t with a 6 plus. I've been down the same road as you. I got it to work with a windows phone yesterday but not my 6 plus when I switched back to the iPhone. My wifes 6 works fine. I believe it is an at&t issue and not an 8.3 issue. After dealing through several levels of support at at&t, they are telling me it has to do with their transition to hd voice. Some people are having this issue because they are updating their system and some peoples phone profile, on phones that have hd voice capabilities, are not getting added to their line and call forwarding will not work without it. I have a trouble ticket open to their engineering dept and they promise it will work for me on or before the 24th of april. Engineering has to build my phones profile so call forwarding will work with my iPhone.
This is frustrating because like you, I need to forward my calls because I have no signal in my office and need to forward to another phone so I can get my calls. If at&t would quit dragging their feet and enable wifi calling, this wouldn't be an issue for me. I would suggest you put more pressure on at&t and escalate this until it gets resolved. Or put your sim in a phone that does not have hd voice capability and see if it works then.
Good luck. I'm keeping my fingers crossed this will be fixed for me on or before the 24th. We'll see.
EDIT: I see you did put it in another phone and it worked. That backs up that the issue is at&t and their hd voice upgrades. They had no explanation as to why some work and some don't, but have them make sure a profile for your phone is on the line. If not, they'll need to build one for the phone so that it''l work. At least that's the story for now. Like I said, I'll know more in a day or two.

Issues with ios 8.3 update on iPhone 5

After updating my iPhone 5 to ios 8.3, I am unable to stream purchased music and videos from iTunes or any podcasts. I also can not stream videos on YouTube, Netflix, or Safari. Nothing works on both Wi-Fi and my normal data. If I could I would try to turn off the phone and restart but unfortunately my iPhone 5 is one of the ones that has the faulty lock button that needs to be repaired. But besides that, has anybody else been having issues with streaming music and videos?

i'm looking for people with problems on iphone 5 with 8.3 because i'm still on ios7 and considering to upgrade
but if you have problem with turning off the phone,
you can set up "assistive touch" from setting > general > accessibility > assistive touch (down the bottom)
you can also set this on the accessibility shortcut for the triple click on the home button to show/hide the assitive touch
you'll see a black circle floating on the screen somewhere. you can move this thing around if it blocks what you want to see/tap
now to turn off your phone you can tap the assistive touch button > device > tap and hold the 'lock screen' icon until the power off slider comes up.
so you don't really have to fix the lock button

A word of advice ... Don't make changes before a deadline.
You can still downgrade to 8.2. Might be able to revert to previous version if the ideas below don't work.

Any one else having trouble with IOS 7.1 update?

Since I have installed the new update my phone has been very slow.. The internet is slow I get kicked off my apps and my phone use isn't the way it was with the last update. This update was supposed to be better but I think the last update was far better than this one. Anyone else agree? Or how can I get the last update back?

You can't get the old level back. iOS 7.1.1 is not slow on my iPhone 5. You will have to do some troubleshooting to find the cause of your trouble.
Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
No data will be lost.

IPad 1 activation issue with iOS 5.1 update - any fixes?

Tried to update my iPad 1 over WiFi to iOS 5.1 this morning. I get a message:
"iPad could not be activated because activation servier is termporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPad to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple minutes"
No luck - I've tried all day. When connecting direclty to may iMac, I get an iTunes message stating that it cannot recognize the contents of the iPad and suggests a full factory restore (which I want to avoid unless no other option is available). iTunes does recognize that the iPad has OS 5.1 installed, however. I've tried a few tricks I've seen posted (such as changing the DNS #), but nothing works to "activate" it. I don't ever recall needing to "activate" an iPad with the previous updates - only after initial purchase.
If anyone has the same problem, and has found a fix, I'd appreciate the help. Thanks.

Thanks - I hadn't tried that earlier (had only tried the red slider shutdown). The problem, however, still persists (states activation server is termporarily unavailable).
After two days of not being able to use the iPad, I"m about to break down and try restoring to factory conditions...... I hope that works.

Have you checked with Verizon? Have you checked for a Verizon carrier update (go to Settings/General/About, and if there is one it will be installed).

This is the third time I have entered this question and answered with my PW, etc. I have updated my IPad with IOS 7, and updated Adobe Reader with ver. 11.3.1. I cannot get any files or folders to come up when I click on Adobe, even though my Usage indica

I Have updated IPad to IOS 7.1.1, and also updated Adobe Reader to ver. 11.3.1. When I click on the Adobe icon, I get no files or folders to come up, just a blank screen. I know from my usage indicator on the IPad that I have 36 GB of PDF files resident, which I expected, but how do I access them. I had updated from IOS 5 because Adobe was crashing so often that it made it difficult to work.

If restarting the app or your iPad/iPhone does not work, we are not aware of any other ways to fix this particular problem. Uninstalling & reinstalling Adobe Reader may be the only option left. It will clean up the "inconsistent" application data. But it is not even guaranteed to fix the problem.
If you uninstall Adobe Reader (or any other iOS apps), iOS will erase all of the application data including settings/preferences and PDF documents stored locally on your iPad/iPhone.
We'd highly recommend backing up your PDF documents regularly (not just this time) so that you do not lose them when something goes wrong.
How to backup and restore PDF documents on your iPad/iPhone using iTunes
Backup your PDF documents.
Uninstall Adobe Reader.
Download and reinstall Adobe Reader from the App Store.
Alternatively, you can store your PDF documents in cloud storage (e.g. Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive), which will eliminate the need to backup local files.
Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Why is there no Apple Pay option on my iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1 update?

I have iOS 8.1 on my iPhone 6, but there is no option to set up Apple Pay. I have checked the settings, and have checked passport itself. I have search Spotlight on the iPhone, nothing comes up. I live in Toronto, Canada. Is it just because of where I live? Will there be another update for the rest of the major countries?

It's U.S only at the moment.
