Error code 3194

I have an iPhone 4 and attempted to update to the IOS 6 software the other day. My phone worked for about 15 minutes after than and then it cut off. When it came back on it had a USB cord and said connect to itunes. When I connect to itunes it tells me it needs to be restored. I attempted to restore, but it will not work and gives me Error Code 3194. I am unable to do anything with my phone at this point. Please Help!!

I'm getting similar. Did this happen after you upgraded iTunes 10.1.2? It seems to be the culprit. I've been trying to download the older version to test out my theory.

Hi @rchangel - Thanks for the ideas...
Yes - it won't let you install the 32 bit version on a 64 bit machine.
I've had a cursory look at the SP1 release notes, and couldn't spot anything vital - what critical stuff do you know of in SP1?
I don't want to have to go through all the pain of setting up VM's, reinstalling iTunes, getting all my album art back in etc. (though I could, as I do have Win7 pro). I've also heard that running iTunes in Windows 7 compatibility mode might help. Can anyone confirm whether that actually works?
I think it's in Apple's gift to fix this issue, given that they say that they support Windows 7. So far I've had no feedback from a mail I sent to Apple, and the number of users reporting this problem keeps going up and up.
I want Apple to recognise that there is a problem, and then I want them to fix it.

Error code: 3194 when restoring.. "Secure link to iTunes store failed" when diagnostics is ran..

as mentioned in the title, I have encountered 2 errors, one is when I am trying to restore my iphone and the other when iTunes diagnotics feature is ran..
I have read the information about the diagnostics result and saw something like "connection attempt to firmware update server unsuccessful". Because of this information I have concluded that the "error code 3194" happens because iTunes itself is unable to connect to the "firmware update server".
I am using Windows 7 64-bit and iTunes is now on the latest version.
below are the things I have done so far, but to no avail:
- removed/disabled my antivirus program
- put iTunes to exception list of WIndows Firewall
- disabled windows firewall and windows defender
- re-installed iTunes and made sure that it is of the latest version (version 10.6.1)
- performed recommendation from: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17409780#17409780
- perform flush dns command using command prompt
In addition to the steps I mentioned, I also tried running the diagnostics on two other computers running on different versions on iTunes, 10.5 and 10.6.0. I also did the same steps as above on these two computers, but I am getting the "secure connection to iTunes store failed" when the diagnostics were ran.
thanks for any help that you can give.

I think its weird that I experienced both the 3194 error code and "secure link to the itunes store failed" diagnostics error on three computers running on different OS (XP, vista and 7), itunes version and connectivity types (wireless and cabled). Could it be possible that there is a problem on Apple's server?
Are you still there, shintenhouji?
Perhaps try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(I've seen a few cases in recent times of this sort of thing being associated with LSP issues.)

This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
