Itunes 10.6.1.7 windows-restoring all devices fails! help!!

hi,
i updated itunes to the latest(10.6.1.7), and wanted to restore my (unjailbroken, btw) iphone 4S on 5.1, to 5.1, but failed, giving me error 3194.
i then tried restoring my (also not jailbroken) iphone 4 on 5.1 but it gave me the same error!
im suspecting this is due to the itunes update, as before the update, restoring was always fine and fast with no errors at all.
i need to restore badly cos of the battery issues and according to many of my friends, restoring makes it much better...
anybody encountering the same problem? or can anybody help please?
thanks in advance!!

Try updating the security software on your computer. If that doesn't do it, try to turn it off and test again.
Check out this Apple aritcle -> iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.
This device is not eligible for the requested build:  Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.

  • ITunes Shuts Down Over Microsoft Windows Error ALL the time - Help

    I've never had this problem until ITunes 7 (and I've had an Ipod for 4 years), but now 1 out of 3 times that I open ITunes, it crashes and shuts down after I get a Microsoft error message - some unexplained problem which I've let Microsoft know about through an error report several times, but they haven't done anything I'm aware of. Sometimes this happens when I've been using Itunes for a while as well - very frustrating. Had anyone else experienced this, and is there a remedy? Thanks!

  • My partner was trying to sync my phone to iTunes on our mac but instead restored all his phone details to my phone. It appears that I have lost everythin. I have no backup. How can I restore my iPhone.

    My partner was trying to sync my phone to iTunes on our mac but instead restored all his phone details to my phone. It appears that I have lost everything. I have no backup. How can I restore my iPhone.

    hmm thats kinda odd! how he managed to do that i dont know I thought the backups were locked per phone or phonenubmers serial.  Anyhow IF you have no backup at all then you have lost everything.  There is software out there that can recover data on the phone that was deleted..  I would personally click restore on Itunes and restart over.  You cant get back what you lost that easy and software that does recover deleted data may not allways work 100% and costs money for the software..
    Lesson learned huh..

    Hello, Edward. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I think the best option would be to completely uninstall all components of iTunes in the order specified of the article below.  Once this is done attempt to install iTunes again.

  • Tried to update ITunes, but keep getting error: Service "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services". How do I get my ITunes back?

    Tried to update ITunes, but keep getting error: Service "Apple Mobile Device failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
    So how do I get my ITunes back? 

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • HT1349 I can't start Itunes because of an error reading "Apple mobile device failed to start"

    I'm having trouble getting itunes to load...I have had to uninstall it, and now cannot reinstall it. I am getting an error that says apple mobile device failed to start. Does anyone know what is going on??
    Actually, so then I clicked abort on that tab and once it tried to install, it said failed to install itunes correctly -Error 7 (windows error 126)??

    Description: DLL Functioncall went down: QTInstallCode.QuicktimeUnInstallProc (translated directly from danish.. :P)
    good translation! i recognised that one instantly.
    okay, in this context, that usually indicates a broken existing QT setup where the QT installation configuration information has been compromised.
    here's what we'll try first.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility and use to to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    ... then use the QuickTime component of the complete uninstallation instructions in the following document as a guide to a manual removal of leftover QuickTime program files and folders on the PC.
    Trouble installing iPod, iTunes, or QuickTime software in Windows
    once all the old QuickTime has been scraped away, let's try another careful standalone QT 7.0.4 install.
    does it go through okay this time? if so, does your itunes launch properly again?

    Well, first off, you are not addressing Apple here. This is a user to user PUBLIC forum. You should not post your personal information like that. Try closing iTunes, reboot the computer and connect again. Are you using the latest version of iTunes, v11.1?

    Hello Kimberly0914,
    It sounds like you have tried to launch iTunes after a recent update due to this error message, and you cannot install iTunes after uninstalling. I recommend the troubleshooting from the following article to help you named:
