iPhone 4 Software Update (4.1) Download Error
Using the latest iTunes version, I tried updating my iPhone 4 software to the latest 4.1 version, yet I keep getting the following error: (err=3259. Network Connection Timed Out).
I read all relevant articles as to solve this problem, and I tried the following solutions with no result:
- Full system file cleanup and clean system startup in addition to iPhone full restart
- Disabling Windows firewall and Defender
- Disabling antivirus and network security program
- Stopping all Windows Firewall and Defender services from the task manager
- Following (MSCONFIG) conflict troubleshooting instructions as suggested in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292
- Trying to only Download the software update instead of Download and Update from iTunes
In addition to eating three bars of chocolate to calm myself down. This is a 590MB file, and it takes about 40 minutes to download. The error message shows after fully downloading the file and while it is processed. Doing so for more than 4 times with all failing attempts in between to troubleshoot the problem is enough to drive anyone crazy!
Can Apple make life easy in seriously overcoming this issue?! The same problem I encountered previously when I tried to update my iPod and iTouch software as well.
A starting point would be to enable saving the software update file and manually updating the device instead of having to download from scratch every time. HELP PLS.
