TS3694 iPad cannot restor. error 3014. What should I do

Restore Error (3014) ipad 2 w/mavericks

I originally loaded my ipad 2 with music and apps from a windows machine but that machine died. I have a work Macbook pro that has Mavericks on it and I was trying to just restore and update my ipad to the latest software using the work mac but I keep getting "error 3014". So I go to the apple support site and try all 6 steps listed, check my router, use terminal to check my hosts (there was no gs.apple.com tag), and was going to install a clean version of iTunes on the computer but I can't delete it because it is a part of the OS. My iPad is currently stuck in recovery mode bricked.......what should I do next? Try another computer, or do a hard delete of iTunes using "rm" command?
Any help is appreciated.

Dear Austel91
I had the same problem, and took the following steps to resolve the issue:
1) get your iPad out of recovery mode using RecBoot 2.2:
http://jaxov.com/2011/02/download-recboot-2-2-compatible-with-mac-10-5/
2) find a different network to update your iPad. For me, I discovered that Zen Internet, my ISP, uses OpenDNS, which was blocking gs.apple.com. So, I "forgot" my Zen internet connection on the iPad, set up the Personal Hotspot on the iPhone, checked that the iPad was connected to the Personal Hotspot, and then ran the Software Update from iPad->Settings->General->Software Update. I waited for the iPad to work away and reboot a couple of times, but the update went through. Then I disconnected the iPad from the Personal Hotspot, re-entered the password for the Zen Internet network and all went back to normal.
It appears that iTunes error 3014 means that gs.apple.com has been blocked on ports 80 and 443, but I am unable to prove this. It does seem worthwhile checking what sort of filtering/content restrictions are applied by your ISP. Also, it is very important that the iPad should pick up the network you want it to, by forgetting all but the one network which you want to connect to.
Hope this helps.

HT4097 my ipad is not restoring error 3014 occours

Tried to update my ipad mini and error -2 occoured and my ipad went into restore mode.After that i tried several times to restore it, but it does not restore and says error3014

From 2nd link below.
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:
    1.    Install the latest version of iTunes.
    2.    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.
    3.    Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: 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".
    4.    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    5.    If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

IPod Classic wont update OR restore

Well, I've had my iPod Classic (80 gb) for about a year now. For a few months it's been trying to update but I haven't been able to because it keeps having an error while downloading it. So I just haven't been updating it since It wont let me. The other day my iPod kept skipping songs and doing crazy stuff so I plugged it in and it said the iPod was corrupt and I needed to restore it. So I tried that and it said update and restore. I keep trying to update it but it still won't update, therefor it wont restore. And thats the only option I have. Any suggestions or help?

TS3694 error 3014 what is it

Iphone 4s - tried to update to IOS6 but phone wont allow update or restore, just shows the connection to ITunes logo, have tried the hold down home & power switch but this doesnt work.
Have tried everything, can anyone offer any advice? Have booked appointment at Genius Bar, but found a thread saying someone had same issue and Apple said he needed a new phone at his own expense!!! I am very concerned as cant afford another £500!!!!

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.

These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting 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.
