"error 3194 and have tried all recommended steps, first problem with this iphone"
Hi, for a few months now I've been using my brother's old iPhone 3GS as an iPod, and I haven't jailbreaken it or anything of the sort, and I've installed every update since, and today I installed the newest update and since it has been in recovery mode and whenever I connect it to iTunes and try to restore (I backed up a few days ago) I am greeted with an iTunes message saying "error 3194" and I've tried everything mentioned in the specific update article for it except for the one pertaining to a .ipsw because when I go to advanced settings I am unable to find anything of the sort. And it'd be much appreciated if any of you could help! Also, I am using a windows computer, not a mac, and have never had problems with this iPhone until this new update.
It is usually given as a communication error between Apple, iTunes (your computer), iPhone. Somewhere they are not communicating, so the iOS you are trying to install cannot be approved by Apple. Trouble shooting steps include, making sure you have Current iTunes installed, make sure your Hosts file of computer is not blocking Apple. Try restoring on another computer.

I cannot close firefox to install a program have tried all recommended steps
I am trying to install a new program, and it says to close firefox. I finally found how to do so on the site, and when through the procedure. I searched exactly as directed for the file to delete, but my search keeps coming up empty. I've spent 28 hours downloading this program only to be 1 minute from installing.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Every time i try and close FirefoxNo need to delete any files.
File > Exit in Firefox to close it. Then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure that '''''firefox.exe''''' isn't still running. -
I have the wifi gray out issue and have tried all the steps!
This is a hardware issue and Apple SHOULD replace the phone even if out of warranty!!!!!!!! This is the second phone that has done this and it is obviously an issue according to everyone else's post. Apple find a solution for the problem before you manufacture another Iphone!!!!!!!
these are user to user forums. you are not addressing apple by posting here.

I wanted to print out a label for the USPS mailing service and apparently Adobe Reader is required. I've printed out the label many times before without going this route, but USPS says it is now required. In trying to download Adobe Reader when I click on the download, it just won't take. what's going on. also, don't you have a phone number whereby customers can call you? most of the questions don't answer the questions.
Mozilla (like most developers of free software) doesn't provide phone support. This is our support channel.
Have you tried reading [[Use the Adobe Reader plugin to view or download PDF files]] and the steps listed there? -

I recently bought some new albums and can't play them on my ipodI just encountered the same problem on my 2 month old MBPro. I found a work around by changing USB ports. As for the actual cause or the reason why that worked, I dont know. The USB port I was using works fine with my phone or other USB devices.

When I try and launch Firefox, I get this error message >A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time." and have tried all of the trouble shooting tips, can you help? I thought if I were to completely uninstall and re install it might help, but I cannot seem to find instructions to do this....
See [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]], the image shown in that article is the Windows equivalent of the error message that you are receiving, but the information relates to the Mac.

TS2529 if i have tried all these steps and still nothing , do i take it to the apple store?
I have tried all the steps in trying to restore my iphone 4 and now its telling that there is a problem should i take it to the apple store?
Of course it would help to know what you have tried but without that information here goes:
Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer. -
My iPod Classic 120GB makes a clicking noise when syncing with iTunes and will not sync. It will not turn on at this time and has been charged but does not hold the charge. After trying to sync, iTunes states that iPod must be restored. Have tried to do this but not successful, I receive an error code and have done the troubleshooting steps for the error and I am still not able to sync or use my iPod. HELP?
Hi mafiose15,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
You can find the instructions in this article:

I have tried all the steps as suggested by the community partners i.e. uninstall/reinstall itunes (number of times). If I plug my ipad 2 on my office PC which has itunes, it is recognised immediately. My lap top does not show 'NEW HARDWARE FOUND" as iPad. It just says new hardware found and shows scanner and camera hardware recognised. In my opinion there could be programme file which is having conflict with ipad 2 recognisation. I am surprised to find that APPLE has not yet come out with straightforward steps for stting up procedures to avoid this recognition issue. It is waste of time and causing lot of aggravation among iPad 2 purchasers.
Sounds like it could be your computer and not Apple. Sounds like some registry issues and/or other underlying problems.

I have windows 7 and have tried the troubleshooting steps but am still unable to connect to the itunes store yet my PC is connected to the internet, it just keeps looking like its trying to access the store
I have the same problem but the solution Wendyz99 did has not been successful for me. Part of the itunes store loads on the right side where the tabs for Quick Links and Top Charts are but the center section of the page is white. Also if I click on a song that is in the top chart area it will take me to the page but I'm not able to purchase the song or preview the song.
I feel I have tried all the solutions I can find on line and even had conversations with apple tech with no help.
I have down loaded the Autoruns program and in the winstock providers I have Bonjour and Microsoft Windows Live ID Namespace Provider. I have removed Windows Live and this still does not resolve the problem. I am at a complete loss. I am running windows 7, 32bit. Someone please help! -
Bookmarks toolbar disappears every time I close the browser. Have tried all recommendations.
I have been running Chrome from several versions back when Firefox became very slow. I am now trying to switch back to Firefox. I have 27.0.1. My bookmarks toolbar disappears every time I close the browser. I have tried all recommendations I can find including reset and renaming, etc, but nothing has cured the problem. Restore to default used to work for the current session, but now that does not work. I am about to give up and stick with Chrome as this bookmark toolbar issue is driving me nuts. I am about to try uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling. And that will be my last resort unless I get a solution to this problem. I have been a Firefox user from the very beginning up till 16 or 17 and like Firefox, but this seems to be a common occurrence from my research. BOOKMARKS TOOLBAR IS A MUST HAVE!
Hello,
Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To recover them, follow the instructions below.
#Use <u>one</u> of these methods to open the Bookmarks Library window:
#*Click the ''[[Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar|Firefox button]]'' to open the menu and click on ''Bookmarks''.
#*Click the ''Bookmarks'' menu and click on ''Show All Bookmarks''.
# At the top of the Library window, click the "Import and Backup" menu and select Restore.
# Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
# In the new window that appears, click OK.
# Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.
For more information, see the [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]] article. For other solutions, see the [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you. -
