Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

Try a hard reset: hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

Not knowing what everything is:
Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build" - Apple Support
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

-Updated my version of iTunes
-Restarted the computer
-Tried to modify the Host settings in Notepad, but it will not let me save any changes. It currently does not have a line about apple
Please help me get it out!!!

I can´t restore my iPhone, error 3014

My iPhone appears to have an error named 3014. I can´t get to restore it..

Your profile says iOS 6.1.3. If you are trying to restore this version it is not possible. Your only option is to upgrade to 7.0.6. That is one of the possible causes of error 3014. the other common causes are:
Your antivirus or firewall is blocking access to gs.apple.com
Your phone is jailbroken
Your computer was used at some time in the past to hack or jailbreak some device running iOS, not necessarily the device with the current problem.

How do you fix error 3014?

I'm trying to restore my iPod, but it keeps saying Error 3014 when it's "verifying" my iPod.

That error is covered here:
Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build" - Apple Support

Error 3014 (or other numbers) Fix. Read this and cure the pain!

I kept getting iTunes error 3014 right at the end of the firmware installation on the phone, so I spent hours troubleshooting using what I found on Apple's site and on the web.
The last thing I tried, and the ultimate solution for me was to go into the hosts file (C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts-open with Notepad) and delete the 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com IP address-Saurik's server (IIRC, added to enable restore of 3GS after jailbreaking).
I thought I'd have to hunt down another gs.apple.com IP address and write it in place of Saurik's IP address, or that iTunes would write it, but neither occurred, and my iPhone 4 restored to new without a problem after deleting that IP address and saving the file.

I'm getting the same error message and my Iphone 4 is not working at all. I went through many web sites (including apple)but I couldn't find an answer yet. Can anyone help us? I already tried to use 2 different computers. First I got the error 1004 and now the 3014.
Thanks in advance

Today I tried to update to IOS 8 on my ipad 4. I thought I was doing everything right. I did it through itunes. I backed up before starting. It now is frozen. itunes says it's in recovery mode.get error 3014. HELP!

Today I tried to update to IOS 8 on my ipad 4. I thought I was doing everything right. I did it through itunes. I updated iTunes to 11.4. I backed up before starting. It now is frozen. itunes says it's in recovery mode. The only options it gives me is to Restore so I say ok... after a few seconds I get get error 3014. It says this ipad can not be restored. It has a button to click for more info which leads me to this page: Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
Please help, I have a back up I just can't get to it. Why did this happen!!!
HELP!

I have since tried a few more things... suggestions found online...
I tried using another computer, same house same internet link though... it downloaded the update again, took about an hour & a half but as soon as it finished it said it could not restore because "device could not be found". I unplugged my ipad then plugged it back in so it would "see" it but it just went right back to the "ipad in recovery mode needs to be restored"... then the same error 3014.
I don't know if the computer can sense the ipad or what's going on. On the screen when it wants to do the restore it has an icon of an ipad & it says "Serial Number: n/a
The next thing I tried... was right clicking iTunes & choosing "Run as Administrator". It started another hour & a half download of the update... but then when it was done it went right back to the error 3014.
Is there nothing that can help?!?
