Error = -3259 and Error 1479

Myself included. Since downloading 8.0, I cannot download the firmware update to my iTouch w/out the error 3259. I've tried turning off firewalls, antivirus, anything I can find on the internet to try, I've tried. I even tried a second router. iTunes worked perfectly prior to downloading the new version of iTunes.

Please someone, tell me you've got a real fix for this.

Hi There,

Firstly did you get a response for this

For the last three months I have been trying to download my favourite daily podcast and I always get err 3259. It is quite strange as it is only this particular podcast, others seem to work fine.

I have read many posts on this, and have tried to log in and out of itunes, I have not downloaded any anti virus software so dont think i can disable this, not sure about how to disable a firewall or if even I have one.

I connect wireless to a Belkin modem. This is my home connection so have no other intermediaries.

Nothing seems to work, all I can think I have changed in the last three months is I run my i tunes off my external hard drive.

Can anyone help me as this is my daily dose of home and my favourite radio dj's and am having withdrawals!

Thanks so much in advance.

Bella

Hello,
did anyone receive any answer from apple support?
since I've installed Itunes 8.0, and I've accepted the new purchasing condition form, I cannot download anything.
the first error appearing was err -100000, now a connection timeout pops up: err -3259
I've requested an help to apple support two times, reinstalling itunes, disabling firewall, antivirus etc, I didn't get the clue...

ciao

Error 3259. I have the same problem (Connection Timed Out)
I will be visiting Apple Store tomorrow hopefully they will have the answer. Any luck I will post solution. Cheers
