Cannot restore my iphone 4S.  HELP!

"Cannot restore iphone.  An unknow error occured. (3194)
Any suggestions. 

Have you guys been able to activate your iphone yet? I bought an iphone 4s from eBay and it worked fine, but the previous user had left some data on it, so last night I used the "erased all content and settings" to restore it to factory setting so I can start fresh and restore my backup. But now I'm stuck at the activation screen (I get the same "the activation server is temporarily unavailable")  and can't get it to activate, even if I use my old deactivated AT&T sim card (I'm on straighttalk now).
I might try activating it with an active AT&T sim card from my fiancee's phone when she gets home, so I'll let you know how that works outs.
If it's true that the server is down; anyone know when it will be back up again? Thanks in advance.
iPhone 4s iOS 5.1.1 (9B206)
Carrier AT&T 12.0
Modem Firmware 2.0.12

    That is either going to be a hardware failure or your phone is jailbroken and something has gone awry with the baseband.

  • I can't connect to wifi at home on business hub ? So cannot update my iPhone 5  Help!

    I can't connect to wifi at home on business hub ? So cannot update my iPhone 5  Help!

    wifi is wifi, and business hub means very little.. this is area for time capsule discussion.. but the standard measures apply.
    1. Set wireless name (SSID) to a name that is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Eg your Business Hub call wireless BH. There is no need for names longer than that.
    2. Set wireless channel for 2.4ghz to 11 or 6 or 1. Please test in that order. In Eurozone you can add 13 or use it instead of 11. They are the only 3 non-overlapping channels.
    3. Use no security to test.. of course this is unsafe long term.. so this is to test for a few minutes only.
    The only security that should be used with N wireless is WPA2 TKIP-AES .. it can be named several different things ie in Apple routers it is WPA2 personal. Use a passkey of 10-20 characters.. more if you are paranoid, mix of upper and lower case + numerics.. so pure alphanumeric.
    4. If it fails set the mode to G wireless. It is more consistent standard.
    If it still fails buy an Apple router and use that as WAP.

  • HT204204 i cannot restore my iphone 6 it start downloading half way stop and give me the code 53

    i cannot restore my iphone 6 it download half way and give me code 53

    It sounds like your phone needs to be restored to complete the unlocking process. The device is unlocked, so restoring it in iTunes on a computer will be your best option.  To avoid the error occurred message you will need to do a factory restore.
    You can restore the iPhone by completing a DFU restore.
    DFU Restore:
    1. Connect your iPhone to a computer with internet connection
    2. Open iTunes
    3. Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake button and Home buttons simultaneously for approximately 9-10 seconds
    4. When the screen goes blank, release the Sleep/Wake button and continue holding the Home button
    5. the screen MUST remain black.  If the Apple logo appears while still holding the Home button you did not time it properly (either you released Sleep/Wake too soon or too late)
    6. iTunes will pop up with a small window indicating you have connected an iphone in recovery mode and can Restore it to recover it.
    7. If the apple logo appears due to incorrect timing the Recovery mode message may still appear in iTunes, but you should simply dismiss it and try again from step 3.

  • Why has my ipad mini stopped connecting with my iPhone 4S? I used to use it to download books, or transfer emails to my ipad mini. It was fine 3 days ago, now I get a message saying " cannot join with iPhone" Any help greatly appreciated.

    You can try resetting your iPad and iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • TS3694 I cannot restore my iPhone 4 I keep getting error 2001/6?

    I cannot restore my iPhone 4 I keep getting error 2001/6?

    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.

    First, remove your personal information from your post.  None of that is needed.
    This is not Apple.  This is a user-to-user PUBLIC forum.  You've just given out a lot of personal informaiton to thousands of strangers.

  • HT201210 I am getting an error message 2003 as the reason why itunes cannot restore my iphone. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

    HI
    I tried installing ios7 via itunes. It took a back up of the iphone no problem, then installed ios7. When I went to restore the iphone the last back up was not the one done today. When i tried to restore it I got and error message 2003 which is not listed on the useful information list of error messages.
    I would realy appreciate it if anyone could throw some light on what has happened and suggest anything that might help
    thanks

    Well, it is indirectly addressed in that list.  These suggestions should assist:
    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you're using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that doesn't resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.
