Can't restore my iPhone...keep getting Error 3004...help?

Hi all,
about a week or so ago I tried to update my iphone to the latest firmware, and somehow it got messed up and when I cam back to my room it was in DFU mode saying that I needed to restore it. I figured oh well, no biggie, and hit restore. However, after going through about 90% of the restore process, iTunes gave me an Error 3004 message. I did some googling and this is supposedly an error you get when iTunes can't connect to the Apple Server.
However, I am able to download iTunes songs/etc without an issue, so I don't think it is my firewall. Just to be sure, I disabled Little Snitch (my OSX firewall proggie) and I tried to restore using the new 4.2.1. software and I am still getting the same error. I even re-installed iTunes using the latest 10.1 version, but that didn't help.
Does anyone have any ideas about what to do? Is there some way to ping/test to see if it is indeed my firewall that is messing up the restore process? Unfortunately i am out of the country so I cannot just take it to a local apple store.

  • My Ipad 2 won't restore and I keep getting error 14

    So today I decided to finally update my Ipad 2, it was 4.1.3 I believe and the newest update was 7.0.4 . After backing it up and waiting for the long update, suddenly it asked me to restore it. So when I try to restore it, my Ipad turns on and it will show the apple logo with the loading bar, right after that a message pops up in my computer saying that it cannot restore and there's error 14. I don't know how to fix this when I unplug it, it asks me to plug it to itunes since its in recovery mode but i keep getting error 14, help please.

    Check for hardware issues
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

  • Can't restore my bricked ipad getting error 4013

    HELP. My Ipad has been stuck in a reboot loop. Have tried to restart and resore but keep getting Error 4013. Ipad now useless.
    Please help.

    Hi,  error 4013 could not restore ipad/iphone
    I had the same issue as you what I did to reslove the issue was to:
    1.   Make sure the ipad is in DFU recovery mode (waiting for you to plug into itunes symbol)
    2.   Use an original ipad cable that came with it our from another ipad
    3.   Do not use any type of extension cable between the ipad and the pc/mac
    4    Before you plug in your cable to the ipad move it to another USB port on your pc/mac one that you have not tried before or normally use
    5.   start itunes by right clicking on itunes run as administrator.
    6.   when itunes detects in recovery mode start the recovery.
    7.   Your pc/mac now detects the ipad hardware again and installs the driver properly again.
    8.   sit back and voila.
    hope that helps.
    regards,
    LaCalaTech.

  • HT201210 I can't restore my iPhone 3GS. Error 37. Anyone has any suggestions?

    I cant' restore my iPhone 3GS. Error 37. Anyone has any suggestions?

    I had a similar issue with my Daughter's 3GS - I tried restoring it with "Restore Mode" and it would not do it. A quick search led me to MacRumors.com where I found an article on restoring your device via DFU Mode. It takes awhile to do it, but it definitely fixed my issue.
    Good luck!

    Here doesn't work... :-(((
