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:

(I've seen a few cases in recent times of this sort of thing being associated with LSP issues.)

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

I tried to install ios7 last night and the screen is now on itunes with the usb symbols Plugged the ipod into the laptop where itunes is stored. Tried to restore only to be advised that a 3194 error has occured cannot get any further please help!!

Hi I tried to install ios7 last night and the ipod touch now has a frozen screen with the itunes logo and the usb logo I plugged the ipod into my laptop and tried to restore only to be met with the message 3194 error cannot restore this ipod please help thanks

Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

Hello chindeepchow,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Related errors: 17, 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194, 3000, 3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3015, 3194, or 3200. These alerts refer to gs.apple.com, say "There was a problem downloading the software," or say the "device isn't eligible for the requested build."
Check the hosts file or TCP/IP filtering, which might cause communication issues between iTunes, ports, and servers.

gota 3194 error while updating iphone 3g to 4.2

Temporarily disable ALL of your antivirus/antispyware software and try again.

TS3694 My phone is disabled and when I try to restore it I get a 3194 error.

I just installed the IOS7 and it asked for security code. I put in my lock screen code and last 4 of my social but neither one worked. It disabled my phone and when I try to restore it I get a 3194 error.

You've not given us any details so all I can suggest is that you take your phone to a Nokia care point for inspection. They can tell you if it's a battery, charger or phone issue.

Attempting to Restore my iPad 2 on Latest iTunes Version but Getting 3194 Error

I am trying to restore my iPad 2 on the latest iTunes version, but I am consistently getting the 3194 error. What is going on?
When I plugged my iPad 2 into my computer, I saw a popup stating that the iPad is in DFU mode, which is weird, since I never did anything to it. It was working fine with iOS 5, but now that I'm trying to restore it, it will not allow me to.
