Error 3259 when downloading iOS 6 in itunes

I also can't OTA download, it also gives me an error. My internet is working, ive turned off antivirus and firewalls, flushed my dns, changed my dns as was suggested on a few posts, reinstalled itunes, updated windows, rebooted the phone, router and computer at least 10 times

Any ideas what to try next? I have a sony vaio laptop with windows 7, and the 4s iphone. My internet is a verizon 4g mifi if that matters. I've downloaded all the other updates for my phone and ipad just fine until today. Nothing has been changed until I started troubleshooting this morning.

Thanks so much!

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1

If you had no problems downloading it onto your other devices, it sounds like your phone is having a hard time connecting to the server. It could be because people are still trying to update to iOS6. Keep trying. It took me like 3 times to actually get my phone to download and install the update properly the first day it was released.

Well I haven't gotten ios 6 on anything yet. We have two iphone 4s's and an ipad. Everything has always updated just fine before this update came out. My problem is when I try to download the actual update, it says the network timed out and to check my connection, but my internet is working fine. When I try OTA on the phone itself it trys for a while and then says update failed.

I was having the exact same issue, tries several times. Then I disable my Windows Firewall and the entire download went through and my iPad is now updating to ios6,

Good Luck
