Check your HOSTS file and make sure you are not blocking gs.apple.com.
Try to launch https://gs.apple.com: It should open the Apple site, and not be redirected to the Cydia server.
if this redirected to cydia server then
copy hosts file from this path
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
paste on desktop. open this in notepad.
add this line in the last .
#74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
in some case this line is there without " #" sign. if this line is there then u simply put" # " at the start of this line
save this and copy this file and past into this path.
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\
replace with existing . yes.
close and then start the restore process.
now this will work. Insha Allah.

IPhone 4 will not update to iOS 5, keeps showing error 3194.

Hey all,
I have an iPhone 4 running 4.3.5. However when i plugged it in and tried to update through iTunes it gets to the verifying software stage and then pops error 3194. I have tried googling this and everything points towards my hosts file. However I have tried this on several other laptops (one MacBook and one Windows laptop) and it shows the same error each time (well an error that said 'This device is not eligable...' on the MBP).
Does this point to a problem with the phone? How can i upgrade to iOS 5?
Thanks for your help!

...I've done that. I've tried disabling antivirus, redownloading iTunes, and downloading from another website.
None of the common answers have worked, thus the reason I posted.

HT201210 pls solve my problem error 3194

pls solve my problem error 3194

Hello,
Check this:
This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your 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.
Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
Hope it helps,

HT201210 IOS 7.0.2 error

I was updating to IOS 7.0.2 and halfway through it, the update stopped and now my iPhone is stuck in recovery mode. What should i do?

We did this but we get an error when trying to restore so we can't go any farther. It says unknown error. I think when my daughter first hooked it up to iTunes it tried to update the iPhone to an earlier version... 6.xx? Could this b why we are getting stopped and is there any way to fix it? I tried to look in the hosts file but didn't see anything at the end that looked like we should delete it. It just said it was a sample hosts file. She has an iPhone 4S.

I cannot download the new ios 5 it says error (3194)

:

Is that the bonjour.msi that can't be found?
If so, download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time?

TS3694 Phone won't Restore (error 3194). Please HELP!!

My iPhone 4 is unlocked and was running on iOS 4.3.3. I am travelling and so delayed upgraging to iOS 5 till the release of iOS 6. Now, suddenly my phone is stuck on the Connect to iTunes Logo. Connecting to iTunes and Restoring to iOS 6 gives me ERROR 3194.
I have tried to Restore to iOS 5 as well as iOS 4.3.3. but all to no avail. iTunes checks with Apple Server and downloads the software (a slow painful process abroad!!) and then tries to instal the iOS only to come up with Error 3194.
I have tried repeatedly, with the same results.
Please HELP urgently... I am dead without the phone!!
Thanks in advance.

You might try reading the entire help document you linked from:
Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. FollowiTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

See the actions for that error here:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
iPhone Error 3194 - How to Fix iTunes Error 3194?
Fix Error 3194 from iTunes during iPhone restore

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.
