Error 3194 IMPOSSIBLE

HI
I update from 4.3.3 to iOS 5 beta but was Bloopers because I could not properly activation so I restore to 4.3.3 IMPOSSIBLE! it say update failed error 3194

Bummer. Maybe you should have thought of that before you borked your phone by installing bootlegged beta software. You can NOT downgrade the firmware. Apple makes it clear to developers that once you install the Beta of iOS 5, you can't go back, only forward.
I guess you've got yourself a fancy paperweight until the final release of iOS 5, huh? Enjoy that.

My 4th Gen iPod wont restore because of error 3194. PLEASE HELP?

It went into recovery mode, and so i plugged it into iTunes. However when I plug it up it says it needs to be restored, and it wont restore because of error 3194. Nothing I have read yet is helping.

Okay! I may have a solution for some of you! I have a 4th gen click wheel, and it was doing the whole restart thing over and over, but never getting past the apple logo.
You need to get to the diagnostic mode. To do this I had to hold down the select and rewind buttons at the same time. (for some models it's the sel/ff buttons or the ff/rw at the same time. The Apple logo will briefly appear backwards, and then you should hear a chime. My screen came up as:
IRAMPASS
PLAY TO CONTINUE
(and some other junk)
press play.
Another menu will come up, scroll through the menu (my Ipod I had to click ff to scroll through. There were 3 pages to scroll through. I got to disk mode on that menu and with the ipod connected to my computer, I started disk mode. Once disk mode started my computer recognized the ipod (finally) and I was able to restore from the computer.
I did lose all the music stored on it, but I'm happy to have made this progress, considering when I got this ipod from a friend two days ago, who was about to throw it in the garbage, it would not even turn on!
Hope this post helps someone!

IPhone 5 stuck in recovery mode - Error 3194 on iTunes?

Hello,
I've had my iPhone 5 for nearly 2 years now (it's due an upgrade thankfully!), I have no problems usually updating my phone to the latest software, however last night when my phone let me know I could download iOS 8, I did so. The screen then froze on what seems to be the recovery mode, it just shows an image telling me to connect to iTunes. I made sure I had the up to date version of iTunes and upon connecting to the computer, it comes up saying iPhone cannot be reocgnised and that in order to proceed with the update I have to restore the phone to factory settings. Me and my boyfriend tried various apps such as Reiboot and TinyUmbrella to get it out of recovery mode first, but had no luck. Therefore I came to the conclusion to click 'Restore to factory settings' and twice it gave me the message 'Error 319'4 - restoration unsuccessful etc etc.. what does this mean? I tried putting it into DFU mode but the pc would still not recognise it. I do not understand what's happened!! I was going to go down to my local EE store to find out but am now thinking they won't be able to do much, and my local Apple store is about 15 miles away - so any help on here would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance.

Hi AmberX92,
If you receive an error 3194 when attempting to restore your iPhone, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Iphone 4, purhcased 4/12, reluctant to turn on after fully expended battery in the past, now will not power on, communicate w/ itunes, tried restore -error 3194, then error 1600. help me please...do I have a warranty?

I purchased an Iphone 4 in April of 2012. I always keep it on and charge it every night. I have had some trouble turning, a couple of times, in the past. It was simply reluctant to turn on after allowing the battery to be completely expended and has behaved the same way after being manually turned off. I have again allowed the battery to completly die and turn off the phone. This time it will not turn on at all. I have tried various combinations of pressing and holding home and power to no avail. I plugged it in to the computer, but Itunes will not recognize it as my phone. Itunes is labeling it "Iphone" and has requested that I restore the phone in order to use it with Itunes. Itunes states that "has detected an Iphone in recovery mode". I, reluctantly, attempted to restore the phone. After waiting quite a while on a "software update" to download, it said preparing Iphone for restore and then said "unable to restore Iphone, unknown error - 3194". I read, online, that I needed the most recent version of itunes in order to restore. So I upgraded Itunes and restarted the compluter. On the second, and all subsequent attempts to complete the restoration, I am prompted with a message stating "unable to restore IPhone, unknown error - 1600". My computer also attempted, and I believe, successfully, installed new device driver software for iphone4 (DFU mode). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Also is my phone, purchased 4/12, under any service or replacement warranty. I truly feel it should be easier to turn on and I did not even want to restore the phone, I just need to use it.
Thank you,
Geoffrey

I am reading on this site about the error I am getting and it wants me to change some files that I am not comfortable messing with. Mainly because it is like a foreign language. Will the store do this for me or tell me if it is neccessary?

Whenever I restore or update all of my iOS devices (iPad 1, iPod touch 4, and an iPhone 4s), I get error 3194. I don't on another computer.

In the past, I have restored and updated my devices without a glitch/bug. However, recently, after the release of iOS 6, after upgrading my iPod touch and iPhone 4S, I started getting these errors. I thought it was iTunes, so I followed this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925, but it did not help. Then I tried restoring my iPod on another computer and encountered no problems. So I tried restoring my iPod touch directly after restoring it on my original computer. I still got error 3194 ( and other errors that I have since forgotten).
I am on Windows 7 pro, 64 bit.

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.

Error 3194 won't let me restore iPhone 4

The problem with this is that when I click on more info after iTunes says it won't let me restore...if I use terminal and try to edit the host file, there is no host file to edit. I get passed typing in my admin password and then it show the file: private/ect/hosts but that is it. There is literally no host file for me to even fix. This was all caused by me having just backed up my iphone 4 to my mac and then the cord was accidentally pulled out and it went into recovery mode. Tiny Umbrella, Recboot, and all other third party software does nothing to exit it from recovery mode. I just really need my phone back at this point and am hoping there is some way to get it out of recovery mode. If you guys have information for me or can help me with finding, creating, or going back to a factory host file, that would be AMAZING!
Thanks,
Maddy

Error 3194 when upgrading to ios 7.

I receive error 3194 when upgrading to ios7 on my iphone 4 ( and I really don't know if it is 4s or just 4). I am working though the itunes softward on my home computer. It seems I am stuck in something called recovery mode. I have tried a variety of suggestions found on the web (e.g., editing a "host" file, checking firewalls and connectivity, etc.) to no avail. Any suggestions?

The iPhone was either previously jailbroken (the DFU restore should have fixed that) or it has a hardware error. I would vote for the latter.

Can not update apple tv 2 error 3194 can anybody help?

i am trying to update my apple tv 2 through so many methods and pcs i keep on receiving 3194 erro
can any body help

The error 3194 means that "This device is not eligible for the requested build" A way to fix this problem is (Only on PC) 1st. Close iTunes 2nd. Look in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ Look for the "hosts" file, and click-it, when it asks you with what program do you want to open it, select "notepad". When the file opens, go to the very bottom of the text and copy this: 74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com
After that, save it, open iTunes and try to restore with the firmware you tried last time. And it should work, when the restore finish, open the "hosts" file and erase the code you pasted there, so iTunes can look for updates properly.

Can't update my iPod Touch 5th generation to iOS 6.1 - error 3194

I saw there was an update so I plugged it into my PC and it said that there was a new update available. I always update via iTunes. It download the update and started to backup my iPod. Then when it was updating and error 3194 popped up. I've tried several times, I've rebooted my PC, tried doing that thing with the host file and what not. Then I tried to install it via Wi-Fi but it just said that I wan't connected to Wi-Fi which I was.
How can I fix this? Is it a problem on Apple's side?

Try updating the iPod touch again.
A few people in this thread say the problem isn't happening anymore.

That is not true. Jaibreaking is not illegal and Apple can't seize your device if yu do. The can just refuse service like help in this Apple forum.
