What's up with error 3259?

I poked around a bit and see that error 3259 seems to be a problem... and it is for me! I purchased my FIRST iPod after Christmas and FINALLY got brave enough to try to figure out how to set it up and am having an awful time trying to get the update installed. I've never had one before and so don't know my way around the iPod, much less what the error means, or what "network settings" are! Will I have a problems if I just don't install the update and use my iPod Nano with the settings and software it had in it when I purchased it in December?

See this article for information; if you aren't experiencing any issues with the iPod fixed by an update, you can skip that update.

Help with error 3259

I just bought an album. However, everytime I try to download it, I get the 'Connection Timed Out' box, then where the status bar is, it says 'stopped (err= -3259)' I tryed resyarting iTunes, restarting my router, and restarting the computer. None worked.
I have iTunes verson 7.0.2.16. Any help would be helpful, or even an explination as to what error 3259 is.

I was wondering if that could be the reason, problem is, the router is not mine and I have not had a chance to tell my employer that I am having problems and can I play around with the router?
At any rate, the store is giving me my money back. I have used iTunes for nearly a year and this is the first time I have had a problem, also the first time I have tried to purchase an entire album, I usually just buy single songs. I WAS thinking of buying the tracks separately, but one track is only available if you buy the album..aaaaaaaarrrrggghhh!!!!!! So,I will buy the actual CD.

Can anyone help me with Error -3259? PLEASE :((

Re: My home button isn't working well so i went to my service provider to ask about the problem. They advised me to update my iPhone to iOS 5 but the problem is no matter what i do, there is always an error. What should I do?
my home button isn't working well so i went to my service prodiver to ask about the problem. They advised me to update my iPhone 4.2.1 software to iOS 5.1, since there is a setting that i can use where i just have to touch my screen to go to the home screen, or somewhat like that. but i have been trying to update my software to iOS 5.1, but Erroe -3259 always occurs. and now, i tried the advised of some in the community, still it won't work. for the nth time. i don't know what to do already, i cant use my iPhone 4 because of the home screen button. is there any other way to solve this problem? please. thank you.

the only way I found was to map other buttons to cover for the iphone's home button, I was using a friends iphone for a while as he always like me to test stuff out so he can then use me as free tech support and now I'm herer XD
anyway after checking with him I had to Jailbrea his phone and installed activator, then using that I was able to get the home fuction when both volume buttons were pressed.
1. You need to jailbreak first don't worry not as scary as it sounds in fact quite easy, download a program redsn0w, ( http://blog.iphone-dev.org/tagged/redsn0w ) once you run it you need to put your phone into DFU mode, make sure itunes is closed before trying this.
2. (1. turn off iphone while plugged into computer, then hold the sleep button count to three 2. then hold the home button whiile still holding the sleep button, count to 10 3. release the sleep button but keep home button,) you phone should now be in DFU mode, while in this mode run redsn0w it will guide you through the process.
3. Once jailbroken you will find a new icon cydia on the springboard (homescreen) press on it and it'll as what kind of person you are, I sugggest user for first time. then it'll close just restart and it'll show you a normal screen, down in bottom right is the serch tab, tap that and it'll bring up search, tap "Activator", tap on the activator at the top of the list then tap install and comfirm
4. once installed you'll find a new option called activator, tap it to open it here you can map and command to button's, I suggest tapping anywhere then scroll down to Volume button's->both press->home button
5. then you can ust press both volume button's anytime and it'll response just like home button, even if you double press, doesn't work as a hold so can use voice control but it'll work for everthing else and even still work as volume buttons

I phone 4 update with error -3259

I have been trying to update my iphone 4 for the past few weeks - it gets all the way to the end then errors with an err -3259. I have removed firewalls, reinstalled itunes, reconfigured things it suggested on the computer. I have also noticed that forever it has not been adding my apps to itunes, it is always copying all the apps over and over with each sync. It will eventually sync what I want but it takes 4-5 times to get it done successfully. I also have 3 movies I want to sync but it will only sync one of those. Can someone please help me out on what I can do about the err message at least? I have contacted HP and they say it's an appl issue, I try to contact Apple and they say I have to pay...... Can I delete Itunes and start over but lose all my apps and movies, etc???
thank you for your time!!

There is an alternate method in this thread that you can try if you are unable to locate and disable all of your AV/AS software:

What exactly does the message say?
Did you try googling the error? If I had to guess, I'd say it's probably a firewall or network problem.

IOS 5.1.1 download for iPad2 fails in iTunes to complete with error -3259.

Hi
Downloading iOS 5.1.1. for iPad 2 from from iTunes 10.5.2.11 on Windows Professional XP 2002
Error Code: -3259
Everytime download timed out after completing @ 400 - 500 MB out of 729 MB.
Please suggest alternatives or corrections. I have McAfee anti-virus and firewall but it may not be problem as download completes @ 400 MB to 500 MB
Thanks
Nilesh G

Hello Apple Support,
How is it friendly to download 750 MB of Huge File. There are typical sense solutions to provide
A)-Either ablity to continue broken download, OR
B) Download on computer from a link and then upload to iPad OR
C) Split the HUGE iOS 5.1.1. File in 100 or 50 MB each
BTW turning off the anti-virus is not easy on PCs, and leaving it unprotected for such a loooong download is unsecure.
Hope you get the point.
Thanks anyway
Nilesh

HT1923 What to do with error msg INVALID SIGNATURE

Trying to update ITunes on both my Windows Vista and my Apple Mac G4 10.6.
Been getting the msg INVALID SIGNATURE and then the downloads stop.
Just got my new IPhone 5 today, and I can't transfere my library, photos or apps.
What can be done to resolve the issue ? Please advise.

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Error 3259 while downloading Podcasts

I had the dreaded error 3259 show up on two of my computers one running vista and windows 7. I am running the latest version of I-Tunes.
I noticed that others were having the same trouble. I tried everything that was suggested to correct the problem, but they didn't work.
For some reason I_Tunes can't make a connection to update podcasts. The only way to get around the problem is to uninstall I-Tunes 11
and reinstall version 10. There is one little trick though. Go to http://www.pcworld.com/article/2019315/how-to-go-back-to-itunes-10-part-2.html
and watch the video very carefully. I think apple has a bug with the latest version of I-Tunes that they need to fix. Too many people are having problems with error 3259 in the Community.

Agree it is a timeout error but I'd like to suggest a different solution related to the timeout setting in Internet Explorer and a slow or intermittent internet connection or a busy server holding the podcast. While it may be aggravated by various anti-virus software programs, believe the root of the problem is the timeout setting that was changed to 30 seconds in Internet Explorer 7. The timout setting had been 5 minutes in all Internet Explorer versions since ver 4.0. See Microsoft Support KB item KB181050 at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/181050/en-us. Believe it provides a better and more encompassing solution for computers running Microsoft XP and Vista. Cheers.

What to do?

Error 9006: Following Troubleshooting security software frequently resolves this error. There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your Registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance.
