Itunes unknown error 3194 when upgrading to latest iOS

I've been trying to upgrade my iPhone 3GS to 4.3.2, from 4.3.1 iTunes keeps reporting an unknown error 3194, when verifying the downloaded update. I don't know what is causing this.
I have:
- Rebooted my PC (Windows 7)
- Rebooted iPhone
- deleted the update and redownloaded
None of these have solved the issue. Any ideas?

Hi pablo2001jedi,
The following link highlights the error code as being an issue with the connection to the Apple Server: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
The link also has troubleshooting steps which you can try, but it is most likely some security software on your computer blocking the connection.
The easiest quick fix would be to update on a known working PC & Network connection, however making sure any security software is correctly configured should also resolve the problem, you can find troubleshooting for this at the following link: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125
Hope this helps.

I receive an unknown error (-50) when copying CDs.

It copies 1 or 2 tracks then stops with this error. I have Windows Vista Home Premium and the latest version of iTunes. I have tried uninstalling as per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 and then reinstalling but it doesn't help. It is really starting to irritate me as I have a backlog of CDs to copy onto my iPod and iPad.
Can anyone help?
Regards,
Kevin.

I have a 30g Video Ipod and I have been having
problems with it trying to syn up. I downloaded the
Vista update for it and still no syncing but when I
tried to update the Ipod I got this message.
Ipod cannot be updated. An unknown error occured
(-50).
If anyone knows what this means and possibly could
give me help with it, I would appreciate it very much.
Same thing happened to me last night. It was right after I DL the update given by apple for Windows Vista. I just closed everything restarted my computer and tried again and it worked. Just that now all my Album Artwork is messed up. I'm listening to Fall Out Boy and I get the artwork for Grey's Anatomy Podcast. Weird. I have no idea how to fix it either.

ITunes (unknown error -54) when syncing music to iPhone 4s. Help!

I just got a 64 GB iPhone 4s and I'm having trouble syncing my music library. A few artist into syncing and get an error message saying a certain song could not sync (unknown error -54). Then the rest of my library does not sync to my iPhone. I deleted all the songs that made it into my iPhone and I tried syncing my library again. I got the same unknown error -54 message again but it's another song that won't sync. The funny thing is that the previous song that wouldn't sync made it into my iPhone. Because of that I think it's an iTunes problem and not the file. Please help! Very frustrating!

I stopped using iCloud and started to sync everything to my MacBook Pro. I had also done a restore just to make sure it was being ungunked. Everything works perfectly now. I'm back to using my laptop iTunes for backing up my iPhone 4S

Itunes unknown error 1015 when upgrading to latest ios

I have an iphone 3gs (32gb) and I tried to upgrade to ios 4.3.2 but upgrade failed and phone switched to recovery mode.
I haven't been able to restore after trying out all the options from apple's website and the error msg: unknown error 1015 keeps showing up. pls any suggestions??

Hi blessingfrombedford,
Has the iPhone been jailbroken at any point or have you had any developer software on the handset? If so then this could be the cause of the issue.
You can try to remove the IPSW file from the computer (or try a known working PC & Network / Create a new user account on the computer and do it in there as it will re-download the IPSW file) and attempt to restore the device again.
Ensure that you've tried this (it's covered in the link) and the other steps in the following article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275
If the iPhone is still refusing to restore then you're probably best to try and visit a Genius at a local Apple Store (if you have one).
Hope this helps.

ITunes Unknown error (-53) when trying to sync iPhone in Windows 7

I've done a bit of googling and didn't find anything that helped.
I have tried:
- resetting the iPhone
- rebooting the OS
- the disabling power save on the USB
- installing a new version of iTunes (9.0.3.15)
- installing iTunes over itself (9.0.3.15)
- installing an older version of iTunes (9.0.0.70)
The error occurs at the last stage, where iTunes says " Syncing "iPhone <name>" ".
Phone was previously sync'd with my iTunes in XP before going to 7. I did choose to sync only with the new 7 system.
The phone charges fine, and I can pull pictures off of it via Windows.
Ideas?

Jollyman,
to sync your photos, you have a few options.
If you have your TOP iTunes page set to "automatically" sync when logged on, it will search for the photos folder in your iTunes folder on your PC. If you have nothing in there, nothing will come out and whatever is already on your device will be synced to 'nothing' in you folder.
I find it more useful to checkmark on the top iTunes page "manage music and photos manually". This will give you a little bit more control of where and which photos/in which folder on your PC you wish to update/sync.
Once you've checkmarked it, you'll see a pop-up..."are you sure etc...it will erase blah blah blah". Click YES and APPLY (important).
Now when you click in the left sidebar on your device's name (iPod, iPhone...whatever), click on the icon itself to take you to your device's homepage. In the top menu choose PHOTOS and choose in the dropdown menu the folder where you wish to keep ALL your pics/320x480-Images/Photos/ETC. that you have made your DESTINATION folder for UPDATES. This is important, because every time you'll sync your hardware, iTunes will search for that folder to locate any new updates/additions to that folder and considers it an update/sync. So make sure you always have ALL the things in that folder that you wish to see on your iPhone/iPod or whatever you are trying to update/sync.

Unknown error when ripping CDs

"Unknown error" consistently appears when ripping CDs, whether or not automatic error correction is selected. Repeated attempts will eventually result in all tracks being imported to iTunes, but the error can occur as many as a half dozen times each CD. I am certain that the issue is not my CD-ROM drive, since I'm able to rip CDs with other software packages and then convert those formats (e.g., .wav) to iTurnes format--the good news is that this procedure is exceptionally fast AND reliable, but the bad news is that none of the track information is transferred automatically, and must be entered by hand....bummer.
Is this a speed issue with the CD-ROM drive? I don't think it is memory-related. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

PROBLEM SOLVED! It turns out that whenever I was trying to rip CDs, I was logged in to my ISP via VPN. It appears that there was some sort of memory issue, as I originally suspected. Without VPN, absolutely no problems, aside from being able to automatically download all the track information.

In the article Resolve iOS update and restore errors this is what it says about error 14:
Check your USB connections
Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4005, 4013, 4014, or “invalid response."
If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you may be unable to update or restore.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
Try a different computer.
If necessary, resolve any further issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
If you're still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section.

TS3297 "unknown error." when trying to login iTunes 11

Hey everyone,
I'm getting an "unknown error." when I'm trying to login iTunes 11.
When I enter my apple ID and password I the same window pops up again with "Unknown error." in red.
When I try to login again I get the popup with "Did you forget your password?" but I know for sure that I entered my password right.
Everything worked perfectly before.

Unknown error (-50) when I try to access the itunes store.

I keep getting an unknown error (-50) when I try to access the itunes store. I have the latest version of iTunes and I am running windows xp service pack 3. I never had trouble before. I am getting frustrated as I cannot even find a good phone number to talk to a live person to complain. Any help would be appreciated.

iTunes Store- "Error (-50)" when downloading purchased content

ITunes 10.7 unknown error -1500 when connect to wireless speaker. OS X 10.75 Any thoughts?

iTunes 10.7 unknown error -1500 when connect to wireless speaker. OS X 10.75 Any thoughts?

For reasons unknown I found copies of many of these tracks as 256 kbps .m4a files in my Trash. As such I was able to remove the existing 128 kbps .m4p (Purchased) files (but not deleting them from iCloud), add the 256 kbps .m4a files to iTunes and then Add to iCloud whereupon, the original 128 kbps listings with the download from iCloud link switched to 256 kbps (Purchased) files. For a few of the files I accidentally deleted the 128 kbps (Purchased) from iCloud and when I added the .m4a to iCloud they appeared as 256 kbps (Matched) songs instead. Not sure why the difference, but it worked for several of these problematic files. But I still don't understand why/where these .m4a versions came from as most of these purchased predated iTunes Plus (e.g., my original purchases were 128 kbps). My new list of recalcitrant files is:
Anna Nalick: Breathe (iTunes SOTW)
Coldplay: Parachutes (tracks 4 + 5)
Dave Matthews Band: Stand Up (tracks 3-6, 11, 12)
Feis: One Evening (iTunes SOTW)
Future Leaders…: Let Me Out (iTunes SOTW)
Hinder: Get Stoned (iTunes SOTW)
Living Things: Ahead of the Lions (iTunes SOTW)
Low Millions: Eleanor (iTunes SOTW)
Spymob: Sitting Around Keeping Score (iTunes SOTW)
As you can see, most of these are iTunes single of the week (SOTW) offerings, so I'm not too bothered about them.

I keep getting unknown error Ox80092013 when I try to log in to itunes

I keep getting unknown error Ox80092013 when I try to log in via desktop (MS Windows). Since this started, I can't sync my ipod, iphone, or ipad. How do i fix this?

Hi, ddstomoff.
Normally this error means a secure connection to the iTunes Store has failed. Try the steps in the article below as it may help resolve this issue.

If the issue persists, further troubleshooting may need to be processed. Be sure to disable any security software installed during troubleshooting. Also, test the results after every troubleshooting step processed.
