Err 3259 when trying to restore my 4th generation ipod touch

Hold down the sleep/wake button and the home button together until it restarts, when you see the apple logo let go of the sleep wake button but continue to hold the home button. Soon iTunes will tell you that it has found an ipod in recovery mode and that you must restore it. Try restoring again. If it fails take it to an Apple Store if you can for support. (You have to book an appointment online)

I have a message 3259; what does it mean??? Marcel, Cape Town ( very happy with the phone!!!!)

This may occur if you are using an older version of iTunes, having a network connection issue, or when a Firewall protection system on the computer is blocking some communication ports that iTunes need to have open for full functionality.

  • Update to the latest tunes software version.
  • Try turning off your Firewall to see if the issue is resolved (this includes the built-in Firewall or a third-party Firewall such as Norton Personal Firewall, McAfee, Symantec, etc.

    Entourage Error 3259

    This may be due to the means of authentication being used -- by the STMP server you are sending to and/or the authentication options selected in your Entourage setup. Mail servers commonly establish restrictions based on authentication to restrict who can send mail through them as a means of preventing spam.

    Cable companies for example, and possibly your campus network, often restrict the sending of Mail to those computers that have a local connection to their network based on the IP address they are using -- i.e. where you plugged in or which wireless adapter you are connected to. Alternatively, many others require your mail client to present your user name and password to authenticate... or possibly to authenticate only in those cases when you are not connected locally.

    So... to get an iron clad answer, you need to find out from the Mail server administrators what type of authentication is required. This information is often listed on "help" web pages describing how to set up your mail client... or call them if you can. Alternatively, check your Entourage setup to see how it is contacting the server for outgoing mail. Try changing the authentication method to use Password authentication if it is not already. Ultimately, the mail administrator for your Mail server is likely your best help resource.

    Hope this helps.

    Not sure how many users on set up on your pc, but if you and your husband have different user accts, yours may not be able to restore using your log in.

    There's a lot of good information and steps to try on the link above. If it doesn't work, you can always try going to an apple store and sitting at the "genius bar" (no kidding...that's what they call it.). Good luck
