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

TS3694 I am experiencing error 29 when trying to restore my iPhone 3GS

Good day,
I installed the latest security update on iphone 3gs, after that when connecting to iTunes it prompted for a software update.
When installing the software update it prompts for a complete system restore to factory settings.
Almost towards the end of the restore, iTunes promts an error 29 error and says that the iPhone cannot restore any further

Error 3014 when trying to restore iphone

I keep getting error code 3014 when trying to restore my iphone 3g please help O am uding latest version of itunes. It will sync phne, and backup but will not restore.

Hey,
You saved my life. I tried everything, even manipulating the host file on your PC, but still failed with the restore. Tried on 3 different PCs, at least 20 times, all in vein.
Then, as u suggested I turned off the firewall, and it immediately solved my problem,
Now my iPad has been restored, thanks to you. I was about to take it to the service to have it repaired, but now I don't need it.
Thank you again.

This makes a difference. What does it say in Settings > General > About?

Configure your security software
Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.

Did you manage to fix the issue?
I have exactly the same issue as described above : I installed the update 5.1.1 on my iphone 3GS and since then, I can not turn it on anymore. In Itunes, I get an error 37 when I am doing a restauration and it stops.
This error has nothing to do with firewall : I tried to restore the phone on several computers, including in an Apple reseller and it did not work anywhere.
I spent several hours on phone with the hotline from Apple which arrived to the conclusion that it is a hardware issue, but the phone was working perfectly fine until I installed this update!

Getting error -34 when trying to restore my ipad

I am getting an error (-34) when trying to restore my backup to my ipad after update to ios 5. Seems to be the same issue as: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3374362
I have plenty of free space on my 64gb ipad but the settings keep getting defaulted to not downsample my music to 128kb. that would over fill my device. I have been on the phone with apple for over an hour with no end in sight. I have lost many data files including a recorded meeting from this week.
If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them.
Thanks,
RA
