Cant restore or update

i tried to restore my iphone due to my apps always freezing and my phonen always restarting by itself, and i keep getting a message that says "the iphone software update server could not be contacted. make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later" what does this mean all my network settings are correct i reseted everything and still nothing?

See this for information about error 1. However, most times that is a hardware error. You may have to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service provider. Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support

Thanks for the update and clarification. In researching the issue it seems that the 2003 error code may have something to do with the USB connection. I would use this section of one of the above articles:
Get help with iOS update and restore errors
If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you might not be able to update or restore.
To narrow down the issue, you can try different equipment:
Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
Try a different computer.
Solve other issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
If you still see the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section.
Check for hardware issues
Related errors: 1, 3, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
These errors mean that your device or computer might have a hardware issue that stops the update or restore from completing.
Check that your security software and settings aren't blocking your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
Make sure that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

HT4097 i cant restore and update my ipad 2 to ios 6 it says error (3194) help please

i cant restore and update my ipad 2 to ios 6 it says error (3194) help please

Check your HOSTS file and make sure you are not blocking gs.apple.com.
Try to launch https://gs.apple.com: It should open the Apple site, and not be redirected to the Cydia server.
if this redirected to cydia server then
copy hosts file from this path
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
paste on desktop. open this in notepad.
add this line in the last .
#74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
in some case this line is there without " #" sign. if this line is there then u simply put" # " at the start of this line
save this and copy this file and past into this path.
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\
replace with existing . yes.
close and then start the restore process.
now this will work. Insha Allah.

Hi there besiburuk,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors

Check USB connections
Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

Cant restore iPod with updater 3-23-2006

updater doesnt recognize my iPod or says error and therefore cant restore the iPod (nano)

I have a Gateway 7215GX and running Windows XP Home edition, I have the latest version of iTunes. I had just got my nano a couple days ago and had plugged in the iPod nano i had previously had a mini but broke now i plugged in the nano and updater recognized it the first time to update the ipod from 1.1 to a 1.1.1 and now im trying to restore it to see if iTunes would recognize it now.

Update to 1.1.2 failed, now I cant restore

I bought a used ipod touch with 1.1.1 firmware, but while it was preparing for the update to 1.1.2 it stopped and and told me that it had encountered an unknown error (1604).
Now I cant restore the ipod. Everytime I connect it to my mac in itunes it asks me to restore it, and when I press "restore" it starts the process and starts to prepare it for the restoration, but after a few minutes where it just says " preparing for restoration" it stops and tells me that I have encountered and unknown error.
I run itunes 7.5.
Hvad can I do fix it?
Help would be most appreciated
