Hi there
Sorry for hijacking your thread as put by Dahveed. However I have resolved my issue so I thought I'll share it with the rest of you.
I checked for the error 3194 in youtube and I found some good videos that tell you how to resolve the problem. The issue I was facing was the actually (I know because I have resolved it now) the communication between my computer and apple server which can be fixed as following (if you are using windows):
There is file in following directory:
C:\Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
The file normally has no extension and it is in file format. You need to open it and make sure that every line that has apple server id starts with "#". In my case one of the line started directly with the ip address and then gs.apple.com.
Perform your restore/update after that and hopefully it should be resolved (mine did).
Cheers

  • How would I be able to pull up all of the text messages tat were in my phone over the course of 2 years and back them up to my computer since my phone has a broken screen and can no longer read the mesages.

    If the messages are stored on the device and you can power the device up you can use the application posted at https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/770529  , the application has a screen capture option and you can use the screen as a guide to install MyBackup from Market or a number of backup apps from Market and then you can run the applications and backup data to your SD Card to restore to the replacement device.

    Are you sure ? As far as I know an Apple ID can only be associated with one email address.
    Go to My Apple ID and click Manage your account

    Apple IDs cannot be deleted.
    Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID

  • I have two Apple IDs, and this is causing problems with syncing via iCloud. How do I move everything to one ID? All advice is for setting up, not for after it's already set up.

    My problem is that I have been a Mobile Me user for the past couple of years, and because of that a second Apple ID was generated in addition to the one I've been using for years. When iCloud was introduced last fall I did everything I was supposed to in setting it up, but it is evident that the syncing is not working as it should. In checking, I am certain this is because I now have two active Apple IDs. I would assume this is a common issue with all who were/are Mobile Me users.
    The online help says you can't merge two IDs. Okay. What I want to do is to get rid of the Moble Me ID and only use my regular Apple ID. But the help on that issue seems to only give instructions for setting up the iCloud account. It seems that when I go into my iCloud accounts, both on my iPhone and my Mac, I can view the ID but there is no way to change them to another ID or to eliminate the account.
    Please help. I am a long-time Apple user and this really should be a fairly simple matter to take care of, but this is one issue where the normally user-friendly Apple way of life is giving me fits. Thanks.

    I am logged into the same things on both my iPhone and my MacBook Pro, except for mail. I use a gmail IMAP account and everything there already works on both machines. The iCloud account on my iPhone uses one Apple ID and the one on the Mac uses the second Apple ID.

  • I have 2 Apple IDs but itunes store on my computer will only let me log into my old one and not the new one...HELP!

    So i had an old apple id i had created to use with my ipod but never ended up syncing them.  So when i got my iPhone i created a new apple ID with my new email address.  Well i went to log into itunes store on my computer (PC) and it wont let me log in with my new apple ID, just the old one.  I get the same message everytime i try it: "We could not complete your iTunes Store request.  The iTunes store is temporarily unavailable.  Please try again later." so i did try again.  and again.  and again.  its been a few weeks now and it gives me the same message everytime.  Its frusterating because everytime i sync my iPhone to my computer to backup and whatnot, all the music i bought on my phone doesnt sync and undownloads itself from my phone.  What can i do??

  • HT4009 I have recently changed my email address, now am having problems with signing into apps...as it still shows the old email address.  I need help ...anyone??

    After recently changing my email address on my iphone 4, am now having problems signing into the apps using my apple id....I have the apps still showing the old email address...and the password has not changed....can anyone tell me how to fix this?  Thank you in advance...

    You've updated your iTunes account to have your new email address on it - you might need to log out of your account by tapping on it at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app and then log back in with the updated version of your account so as to 'refresh' the account on it.

  • Every time a call ends or I miss a call my podcasts start playing. I realize this is because the app is only paused and not stopped; however this is a problem I didn't have before the podcast app when it was just integrated into the music app.

    It also does this after I use Siri. I have an iphone 5 and it does the same thing on my 3gs. Since I forget to stop the app frequently it becomes annoying to have podcasts starting at random when in a meeting.
    Thanks for any help!

    Hey Sierra, You can do just what you have stated. My question, what is your "other"? If it is over 1.5 GB you most likely have corrupt files. Doing a Restore to New, Factory restore should correct it. Just make sure you make a full backup of all information on your iPod to your computer before you restore, so you don't lose your stuff, contacts, videos, pictures, non-iTunes music, etc, use the cable and connect with your computer. Then, via cable, connect to your computer, run the Restore to new, don't use your backup. Treat this iPod as if it was your first one ever. When restore is done, set up and add what info you wish to install on this iPod. The music apps etc you purchased should be on your computer, if not you should be able to retrieve purchased apps and music from iTunes. Any music, videos, apps not purchased from iTunes will be lost to you if you do not save them to your computer or the cloud first. When your done, make a current Backup and you should good to go. Hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers.

  • My apple ID was the original without the email extension.  It caused problems with ITunes conversion after the last upgrade.  Tech fixed that issue but my MacBook defaults to the old ID.  Even though I have a new ID it defaults to the old.  iTunes is ok.

    How do I change my Apple ID, when it defaults to an old ID and ITunes is accepting another ID?  The IDis very old and does not contain an email extension.  I had a problem because of that earlier this year in my ITunes account and Apple fixed it.

    Get in touch with Apple again -> http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/.
    Good luck,

  • What is the email address to report a problem with purchases?

    I need to contact billing dept to dispute charges, can't seem to find how and where I do that.

    Try contacting them here: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

  • I am sending emails to a Smart Group created in my address book.   The contact in my address book has multiple email addresses.  Is there a way for the email to go to both addresses?  (ex:  work and home email address under one contact)

    In my address book, I have contacts that have multiple email addresses.  (ex:  home and work)   I have created a smart group off of the company name in the contact.  When I send emails, I want it to go to both email address listed in the contact.  Is there a way to make this happen?  Or do I have to have a separate contact for each email address?    

    I will agree with you on this one. Version 31 and all the fixes so far are a mess. Since I have been here answering questions for a little more than a year now I have learned to wait to upgrade until all the dust settles. I see no end to the dust storm version 31 has caused. I am still on version 24.6 and plan on staying there for the duration. At least until the developers comes to their senses and put out a working product.

  • How do I fix (Firefox 32 has caused problems) switching between application (without first minimizing) windows and unintended scrolling

    When I have several different application windows open I must first minimize the current application window in order to view another application window. Sometimes when I have two windows (for instance a chat window) open, one on top of the other, the top window moves to the back w/o being requested to move.
    I also experience unintended scrolling on various applications open in FF 32.
    These problems do not occur in IE.

    The windows popping may be a system problem. While many users
    report this type of problem with Firefox, I have seen non Firefox
    windows popping up. Even if the window was minimized.

  • Three computers shut down over the course of three days non will reboot

    I wonder if anyone can help me - over the course of the last three days my three home computers have all shut down and all will now not turn on. It started with my daughters eee as us netbook, which powered down and wouldn't switch on. The battery and power light are on but you press the start up button it flicks on and then two seconds later shuts down and won't boot up. A day later my iMac stopped working, similarly it shut down and wouldn't switch on, then the next day the same things happened to my dell netbook, same problem. All three computers will not power up. The only link between them is out home wireless system and electricity supply. Anyone have any ideas?????????

    When I say it should be between 110 and 120v, that is if you are in north America.
    If in Europe, it should be around 220 to 240V
    Many Asian countries are on 100v.
    Do all of the machines power up but fail to boot?
    Is there a power light turning on on all of them?
    If nothing at all is happening, it could be the power supplies that got fried by a power surge or even the hard disks.

  • HT204053 i have 2 apple ids and one is from years ago when icloud wasnt a thought but now somehow it became my primary apple id and i cant photo stream with the apple id i use. Even if im signed into my old one the photo stream doesnt automatically go to

    i have 2 apple ids and one is from years ago when icloud wasnt a thought but now somehow it became my primary apple id and i cant photo stream with the apple id i use. Even if im signed into my old one the photo stream doesnt automatically go to my mac. Im not exactly technology savy but id love to figure this out.

    I have also noticed the same "problem".  I do not fully understand the impact of using the same ID on multiple computers and devices if I want to keep them all in sync.

  • I am unable to update software or backup my devices. Apple techs unable to resolve the issue after hours of phone support over the course of several months.

    I am unable to update software, transfer purchases, sync, or backup any of my 3 devices. I have tried using iTunes on other computers, uninstalling iTunes with tech support walking me through, using a different user on my computer, deleting photos off of my devices, using an ethernet cable instead of connecting with wifi, uninstalling my antivirus software and firewall, and had my laptop examined by several techs who all determined there was nothing wrong with the laptop that explains what has been going on. I am also unable to view or download purchases on iTunes.  Clicking the Itunes store results in a blank white screen. I get various error messages, including -9886. Apple techs and now the engineers have been unable to resolve the issues thus far, even after several hours of phone support over the course of several months (about 5 hours this month alone). I have done everything they've suggested, even when they've suggested I do something over again, and I'm becoming frustrated. I would greatly appreciate any advice you can offer. Thank you in advance for your time.
