If you computer has EVER been used to hack, unlock, or jailbreak any iPhone or iPad (not just the one with the problem) your network database is corrupted. You need to fix the hosts file.
If this is NOT your problem try disabling your antivirus and firewalls.

    Unable to update or restore new iPad Mini 2.  Get error 3014 on two different Macs.  This is a new out of the box iPad Mini 2. Am on a managed network, but have not had this problem previously.

    First thing to do is make sure you have the latest version of iTunes on your computer.

    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart
    so this basically means: turn off your firewalls, virusscanners etc, and try again

  • Today I tried to update to IOS 8 on my ipad 4. I thought I was doing everything right. I did it through itunes. I backed up before starting. It now is frozen. itunes says it's in recovery mode.get error 3014. HELP!

    Today I tried to update to IOS 8 on my ipad 4. I thought I was doing everything right. I did it through itunes.  I updated iTunes to 11.4.  I backed up before starting. It now is frozen. itunes says it's in recovery mode. The only options it gives me is to Restore so I say ok... after a few seconds  I get get error 3014.  It says this ipad can not be restored.  It has a button to click for more info which leads me to this page:  Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
    Please help, I have a back up I just can't get to it.  Why did this happen!!!
    HELP!

    I have since tried a few more things... suggestions found online...
    I tried using another computer, same house same internet link though... it downloaded the update again, took about an hour & a half but as soon as it finished it said it could not restore because "device could not be found".  I unplugged my ipad then plugged it back in so it would "see"  it but it just went right back to the "ipad in recovery mode needs to be restored"... then the same error 3014.
    I don't know if the computer can sense the ipad or what's going on.  On the screen when it wants to do the restore it has an icon of an ipad & it says "Serial Number: n/a
    The next thing I tried...  was right clicking iTunes & choosing "Run as Administrator".  It started another hour & a half download of the update... but then when it was done it went right back to the error 3014.
    Is there nothing that can help?!?

  • HT201442 My iphone won't restore, gives error 3014.  What do I need to do to make my computer work with my iphone?

    I went to back up my iphone and then update it and the update process stopped, saying it was unable to complete the update.  Then my phone needed to be restored, but the restore stopped saying it was unable to complete restore with error 3014.  I have a MacBook Pro with plenty of memory and no firewall on and my iphone is a 5s I bought last November.

    Does your router have a built in firewall? Are you using any antivirus/antispyware software on your Mac?

  • HT4623 will not restore getting error code 3194?,

    cannot restore getting error code 3194,  any advice

    Actually usually it happens when itunes is not up to date or not compatible with that iOS.
    michaelamoore11 - If you are trying to restore and you had iOS 7 on it, make sure that your itunes is up to date with 11.1 or you will get that message. Once you update, then you can restore

  • I Always Get Error 3014!

    I have an iPhone 3GS, and I restored it to get a bunch of junk I don't even know about off, and I put it in Recovery Mode, but when I tried to restore I made sure to use the right firmware, I even held Shift and clicked restore, and chose the updated 4.1 firmware in the Apple Computer folder in Appdata, and stuff. Whenever I tried to restore it kept saying I had Error 3014, and I click the More Information button, but it takes me to the Apple site for error 3014, and it has no information at all! I'm kinda frustrated because I really need my phone to communicate mostly with my parents.. please help me fast if you can!

    That's the page I saw with no information on it..
    From that kb article:
    +"Error 3000-3999: (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3164, 3194, and so on) Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, or due to your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. *Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again*."+
    I've already done them all..
    Really? There are lots and lots of steps and suggestions...

  • HT4972 What is "Unable to restore unknown error Restore error code 11?

    Trying to update an iphone 3gs from ios 4.1 to 5.1.  Received the above error cdoe 11 to an unknown error, unable to restore.  How can we fix that?

    I think I actually got it restored now... and now, each time I am able to sync about 3-5 songs before I get the beachball and the whole thing 'times out'.
    You are VERY correct about my desire for a new iMac. Too bad I just bought my first house, or I might be able to actually afford one! I have enough excuses... now I need cash.
    Firewire to USB. I will see what I can find... it doesn't seem very likely, but you never know! Thanks for the help. I will report back if I find anything. I know there are a lot of people affected by this issue.
    What is kind of ironic is that if I would have bought a PC in this time frame, it would have definitely had USB 2.0. You know? Dang.

  • Cannot restore get error 14 message

    Hi, can anybody help I have an iPod 4G locked in recovery mode, I have tried to restore but get error message 14 , I have up to date i tunes ?

    Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
