Update of OS from 3.0 - Update Error -3259

Can anybody help I cannot up date my OS from 3.0 to the latest... when I run the download and update it says at the last moment that it cannot complete the download as it has lost connection with the server giving error code -3259. I have been trying with no success for the last 6 months to do this. I have had no luck with any of the other Iphone forumS I have visited.
Handset: 3GS
Current OS: 3.0

TS1702 When Downloading Podcasts From Itunes, Some Show Error-3259. I tried all kinds of ideas and none worked? Anyone have anymore?

I tried all kinds of ideas. Turning off the firewall and antivirus didn't work. I tried installing itunes with the firewall off. That didn't work. I have three conputers that are affected. Anyone else have any ideas?

Hi scooterboy55!
I have an article here that addresses that issue. While it mentions updating iTunes and checking your firewall settings as you have already done, it also mentions checking your proxy information. The article can be found here:
iTunes Store reporting error - 3259
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2799
You may also want to follow the links in that article to double check your firewall settings as well. If you have tried uninstalling iTunes already, then you may want to make sure you have followed the uninstall order of related iTunes components, which can be found in the following article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

V2.0.1 update error (3259)

Hi!
I wanted to update my iPod Touch to v2.0.1 today but I couldn't. I donwloaded the 246,7 MBs to my PC and when the download finished I got the following error message:
"There was a problem downloading the iPod software for the iPod "myname iPod". The network connection timed out!
Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later."
I tried to download the update again and again but the same error occures. I'm sure my network connection is okay, in my browser net works fine!
What can I do with this update? How can I get it? Is there any other option to download and install it directly (without using iTunes)???
Hope till the download installs correctly I won't be billed for the update!
Pls HELP!

I'm getting the same problem. To be honest, I've been very disappointed with a number of things relating to itunes setup. Why does it revert back to zero bytes when you pause the download. Its just a joke... I can't believe Apple design their software to behave so second rate. Isn't anyone in Apple QA this stuff before release?... its like everything is BETA. I think its a bit rich to be charging people $12 for these updates so soon after purchasing the ipod from the stores for $475, then only to have days of problems sorting out technical problems with downloads and setup.

Download update error 3259 and 3253

please look at this, i keep getting those errors 3253 and 3259
i do get those at work on windows and home on my mac

Changing my DNS settings worked for me (3253 errors on my MBP). I followed the instructions here:

Hope that helps!

I just set up my new iMac, and receive error messages when trying to purchase from the iTunes store (error 8003) or update from the App store (error 403 forbidden). THOUGHTS?

I am not sure what you mean by "Flash Player for steam"; the only Flash Player installers I know is the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and the plugin (for other browsers); you can find both at http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header

Temporarily disable your firewall and ALL of your antivirus/antispyware software and try again.

Whenever I update from Windows 7 get error 1602, iPod shows USB connection to iTunes, but iTunes will not recognize the device. None of the Apple documentation helps.

Whenever I update from Windows 7 get error 1602, iPod shows USB connection to iTunes, but iTunes will not recognize the device. None of the Apple documentation helps. The Apple Mobile Device driver is loaded and operating. The anti-virus software and firewall are not at fault (were uninstalled, and made no difference). The iTunes on my older machine running Vista does recognize the inoperative iPod (iTunes has detetced an iPod in recovery mode) and allows me to restore the device. Can anyone help to resolve this problem on the Windows 7 PC?

So yu tried all of this:
Error 1600, 1601, 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for error 1604.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
If you had then time for an appointment at ther Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Windows 7 PRO GP update error

Windows 7 PRO GP update error
We have a very peculiar problem
We have a Primary DC & Secondary DC installed in all our office ( Windows 2008R2). The Domain name is abc.com for all the Offices and the replication between the DC's happen in between the office happen without a problem.
The clients in each of the offices gets authenticated from the DC in the respective office.
But for a group policy update it gives an error as below
"Computer policy could not be updated successfully. The following errors were encountered: The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows attempted to read the file
\\<FQDN>\sysvol\<FQDN>\Policies\{BD732AAF-016F-11D2-945F-00C04Fb984F9}\gpt.inifrom a domain controller and was not successful. Group Policy settings may not be applied until this event is
resolved. This issue may be transient and could be caused by one or more of the following:
a) Name Resolution/Network Connectivity to the current domain controller.
b) File Replication Service Latency (a file created on another domain controller has not replicated to the current domain controller).
c) The Distributed File System (DFS) client has been disabled.
The error happens only on some clients.
We are able to Ping, connect to the local DC and the client gets the IP from the local DC and also gets authenticated by the local DC for log on.
On the PC which gives an error if we try to ping domain name - abc.com it returns the ip of the DC in a another office and not the local DC.
Request to suggest a solution / tips to identify the problem

What does error -3259 mean? How can i update my ipod touch to the new ios 5?

I been updating my ipod touch 4 software to the new ios 5 all day. i tried disabling my security programs and firewall, different download programs and reinstalling iTunes, and restarting my ipod touch. But for each attempt i get a different error. i went to the Specific update and restore errror code page and got a reason for each error except for error -3259. Basically my question is: 1. How can i update my ipod software to io5 and 2. What is the reason behind error -3259?

Connect it to iTunes on a computer and update it from there. Note that the second generation iPod touch(which includes 8GB models sold at the same time as the third generation ones) can't be updated past 4.2.1.
