Error "3194" when trying to update to iOS 5

Hi guys,
I've downloaded the iOS 5 firmware but after it backs up my device and attempts to install I get an error "3194"
A google search doesnt seem to show any fix that has worked.
Thanks in advance,

Phil,
Same here, tried all the suggested steps in the 'more info' link but still gave the 3194.
A quick search of iPhone 4 discussions suggested these steps (thanks MacMan TommyC)
Do a HARD reset of the iPhone - holding the Lock/Power button and Home Buttons until the iPhone powers down and the Apple Logo reappears.
Make sure that your Mac (I'm assuming) has all recent security and iTunes updates completed; Safari, too, made a diff here as well.
Do a HARD reset on the computer as well.
Launch ITunes FIRST then connect the IPhone to the USB again.
Upon recognition, hopefully, ITunes will want to do the Update to iOS 5 for you, do its LOOOOONG back-up, and then install the update for you and then put everything back on.
Also added the following to the host file, not sure if it actually helped but it was came up quite frequent on a Google search
#74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
Hope the above helps

Error 14 when trying to update to iOS 5.0.1

I keep getting "unknown error occured (14)" when trying to update (and now subsequently restore) my iPad to iOS 5.0.1. Any ideas on what to do?

William,
In fact I have tried both the normal software update a couple of times AND downloading the combo installer. The message, when trying to install the latter, was "Checksum Invalid". Is it possible that the files get corrupt during download? I am getting crazy - I need the upgrade to 10.5.2 in order to upgrade Aperture 1.5 to 2.0, which again is necessary in order to download images from my new camera... :((

I am getting an error message when trying to update to iOS 7

Error 3194 when trying to update iPad 2 to iOS 5

I was just trying to update my iPad 2 to iOS 5, and after 'verifying the update with itunes' the updating process stopped. Something popped up that said an error (error 3194) had occurred.
I had previously jailbroken another device on that computer. But, I later restored the device and tried to remove all the jailbreaking software from my computer. Since then I have not had a problem updating my devices on iTunes, until now. I am guessing my previous attempt at jailbreaking is causing these problems. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks!

See this support document for error codes. Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support The 39 does not appear, but there is a 37 and 40, so I would believe it is close to that.
If you are having trouble updating, you need to check this support document for that. You may need to put the device into Recovery Mode.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
It could also be the security software on the Windows PC. Another question, is the device jailbroken?

Error -50 when trying to update to iOS 5

I'm trying to update my 3GS to ios5 but keep getting an error -50 message while iTunes is backing up my phone. It says if I continue my phone will be wiped? Any help would be great.

Ok so after countless hours of reading forums, trying to fix my daughters iPod touch, this is what I had found and YAAY it worked!
When I plugged in the iPod for the 1 millionth time and it asked to restore you hold down the shift key and click restore. It then brings up a box to locate the file you wish to restore from.
The file will be in C:/Users(yourusername)Appdata/Roaming/Apple Computer/iTunes/iPod Software Updates
then just choose an update from the date you knew was working!
Worked a charm for me!
****Not saying this will work for everyone, it was the only thing out of about 20 solutions that did work!
