Error codes 3014, 14, 11 while updating to iOS 5

Ok, I realize that the apple servers are down for updating to iOS 5.  My problem is the fact that I cant even restore my iphone without getting at least 1 error code.  The error codes are  3014,14 and 11.  I have googled all 3 of these to find any type of solution and Im coming up empty.  Another annoying aspect is that after I receive the error codes, I will get the "connect to itunes" message on my phone and when iTunes detects my phone, it says that its in recovery mode and needs to be restored before being used with iTunes.  I have tried to restore it at least 20+ times but I keep getting the same error messages and codes over and over and over again.
So am I supposed to just sit tight and wait for apple's servers to come back online or has this update severely damaged my iphone???

Well after trying for 9 straight hours, I was finally able to get iOS 5 to work and update.  In all honesty, the only thing I did differently was restart my computer.  Now, I dont know if that is THE fix for all of these problems but after 9 hours, I was willing to try anything. 
Once I restarted my computer, i started iTunes, plugged in my phone, got the usual error message that my phone needed to be restored.  After that, it was smooth sailing from there.  I just let iTunes and my iPhone do its thing and it restored and updated like nothing had happened.  It even saved 99.9% of all of the stuff I had on my phone prior to the update.  The .01% are safari bookmarks which werent a big deal.  But all of my photos, contacts, app settings and evertything else was there. 
Hope this works for you!  Good luck.

  • TS3694 I keep getting error code 3014 when trying to update my iphone to iOS6

    Anyone have any idea why this is happening? It also happens with my ipad.

    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 CODE 50 AND 54 AFTER UPDATING TO IOS 5

    I updated my iPhone 4 to ios5 and when it was restoring iTunes said the restore was interrupted and error code 50 and 54. I lost current photos and some apps although iTunes had reported that my phone was backed up. Has anyone else received these errors and how can I fix it?

    Not sure why, but have you taken the troubleshooting steps recommended in the User Guide (restart, reset, restore)?

    Debug console is mainly for use by the website developer to debug their own sites - so unless you are trying to debug your own site then I'd leave it switched off.
    All versions of iOS 5 have been available for the first gen iPad, it's iOS 6 that you can't update to on it. If you want to update to iOS 5.1.1 (the highest version that it supports) then you should be able to do so via your computer's iTunes : https://discussions.apple.com/message/22061024#22061024

    Did you click on the link just below that that says:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    You have to read the entire support article and follow the subsequent links if the first solutions do not resolve the issue....

  • Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. Any suggestions please?

    Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. I DO NOT have any back ups on itunes. Is there anyway to get out of recovery mode without restoring or recover data after a restore?
    Or any other suggestions please? Thanks

    As pdroth said, you should have gotten a backup made when you started the update of iOS. If you cannot find a backup, and the phone is in recovery mode, there are no futher suggestions to make. To get the phone working again you have to restore. You cannot force a backup at this time since it is already in recovery mode. It will not allow anything else but a restore at this point.
