Updated on 07/25/2019 / iTunes Tips
iTunes by Apple is an application for your computers that help you sync data across your Apple devices. Not only does it help you keep the data synced between the devices, but it also helps you backup your data in case you’re starting fresh with your device or you’re updating it to the latest version of the OS and you think it may not go well.
While using iTunes with your devices, you’ll come across many errors with this app. Although the company tries their best to make it an error-free app, it just can’t be a perfect app just like any other app.
One of the issues that most users face with iTunes is an error message that says iTunes Error 3259. While the error only suggests a number, it doesn’t say specifically where it comes from.

What you can do to fix the issue is resolve any errors in your Internet connection and make sure it works fine for iTunes to connect to and work with the Apple servers.
