Can not restore IPHONE

I plugged my Iphone 3gs into computer to update and it went into recovery mode and now can not restore which is the next prompted step. Computer and I tunes says they are fully updateded as well.Tried restarting computer and Iphone. Still no luck.

Force your phone into DFU mode (search google) and restore.
Note: if your phone has been previously jailbroken, these steps may not work and you may have "bricked" your phone for good.

Can not restore iphone

You have posted from a Support Article about Error Code 3194...
If Error Code 3194 is your issue and that Article did not resolve it... then you have a problem.
Perhaps a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required..
Be sure to make an appointment first...
Note:
That error message may be indicative of the Device being Hacked / jailbroken.... If this is the case then you are on your own.

Lost "Encrypt iPhone Backup PW and can not Restore iPhone from iTunes?

Late LATE night attempt to Reset iPhone via USB connection to iTunes ened up insread with me Erasing All Content and Settings from iPhone directly after encrypted back up of phone to Macbook then attempting Restore from Macbook to iPhone. Lost most of my iPhone contacts and still cannot remember or find copy of pw for encrypted backup UNLESS that is because my Macbook is now encrypted with FileVault. I put a copy of the password for encrypting iPhone Backup in my 1password app and am positive it is good is only being rejected because Macbook in now encrypted. All I want is my iPhone contacts. So I am de-encrypting my Macbook now. Kind of in a pickle when you loose the only copy of you resonal contacts. Can anyone help sort this mess out? My level of computer competence is really lacking.
If they would just stop spying so much these things (encryptions, FileVault etc) would not be nessaccary.

The syncing is happening through the cell network not the wifi so it didn't help to turn off the router. Here's what I ended up doing that finally worked:
I restored the backup. Before I could use the phone, it takes me through a few steps. On the icloud step, I actually skipped it, so I didn't enter my password. At that point the phone was usable again so I went to settings>icloud and turned off Contacts. I double checked and my contacts were still on my phone. THen I went to settings>icloud and entered my password and the turned contacts back on. At that point it asked me if I wanted the contacts merged and I said yes. A few minutes later my contacts were still on my phone and I checked my icloud account online and the contacts had been syced there as well. Finally! It worked!

HT201263 What does can not restore iphone unknown error occured (3005) mean? is it dead?

I have an Iphone 3. Yesterday it was working fine then Itunes said it had an update. The update was unsucsessful and it said the phone needed to be restored. I went through the restore steps and recieved an error. Any suggestions?

Please help have error code 1013 and can not restore iphone 3gs

i have tried every thing i can find to restore 3gs and no luck
tried 4 different computers and 3 cables and all the usb ports on the computers
i have even tried the gs.apple.com fix and no go.. am at a loss on what to do next any help
would be great thank you all

Every time I restore I get a different code last 2 times I have gotten code 1002
And 1013 a few times.
Error 1002 usually means a hardware problem. If you've tried several known working cables, the problem is likely in thte phone itself.
+"Error 23, 28, 29, 40, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1611: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article and also attempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. If the MAC address is missing or the IMEI is the default value (00 499901 064000 0), this can also confirm a hardware issue."+

HT201263 iPhone 4 is in recovery mode but iTunes can not restore it.. Says unknown error occurred (21) HELP!

I've just got back of holiday and while there my phone decided to turn itself off, it would not come back on unless I plugged it into the wall charger, it said that I had to connect it to iTunes, but being on holiday I couldn't.
So when I got home yesterday I plugged it into my laptop and the Apple logo came on, and then went off again, then back on and off again, it was doing this untill I unplugged it. So I put it into recovery mode and it said Connect to iTunes, so I did. It then said that the phone needed to be restored, iTunes started this process, 'extracting software' it said, and then once that was done it said 'preparing iPhone for restore' but then my phone disconnects itself from the laptop and then connects again then disconnects again. Then iTunes comes up with a message saying 'iTunes can not restore this iPhone 'iPhone', a unkown error occured (21)'
I have tried over and over again to try and do this but it keeps coming up with the same.
Does anyone know what's wrong with my iPhone and how I can fix it?
Thanks

And what did the error message say?

HT5457 Upgraded iphone 4 to IOS 6.1 Can not restore apps. "Some of the applications in your iTunes library were not installed because one or more errors occurred" error message

I made the mistake of upgrading my iPhone 4, a seemingly innocuous task if you follow the Apple commercials' rhetoric.
Now I can not restore any of my apps and before I go to far, I am wondering if I wil be able to restore my purchased apps?
Is there an easy fix, before I waste hours on the phone with Apple tech support?
Why is it becoming so complicated to run a telephone?
Thanks

I can not restore and upgrade my Iphone 4. When i plug in to computer itune's restore and check for update buttons are not active. What is that mean?

Razmee,
Guess what? After posting, I read another thread on this topic where someone said they went to an Apple store and the tech person there added the optional username and password in the Outgoing Mail Server boxes, and then reset the phone again. Although I had tried resetting and restarting a few times today, I had NOT reset it after entering the username and password into the optional fields.
When I entered my username and password into the optional fields, the iPhone entered checks (ticks) to the right of every entry; it had not done this earlier. (I didn't reset at this time, and the outgoing mail would still not transmit).
So just now, I reset it and the outgoing email was sent!
Thanks to you and this forum, it's a great ending to a few frustrating days.
I hope this message helps others. Not only does everything have to be entered correctly in the respective boxes; but once everything is entered and you press the "Done" button, every box should then have a check mark next to it and then you must reset the phone.

I probably misclicked when I activated the security lock on the iPhone and now I can not figure out what password I entered. Moreover, I have patches and funky looking phone so I can not restore iphine pres itunes. Please advice.

Your only recourse is to force it into DFU mode:
Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting

Good afternoon. I have a problem. During the upgrade Iphone 4 c IOS 4.3.5 to 5.0.1, I pulled the cord. Now I can not restore the Iphone. Just lost imei, Wi-Fi, and phone became unusable. What should I do?

See if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
