My iphone suddenly crashed and asked for restoration, however itunes sends error message of host not available (3014), what should I do?

Try -
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:
Install the latest version of iTunes.
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.
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".
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Hello ardninam,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If the content on your iPhone cannot be read by iTunes, then you will need to follow the directions in the popup and restore your iPhone to the factory settings.  You can then try and restore from a previous backup.
    Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
    Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup - Apple Support

    Not much you can do.  Bring it to Apple for evaluation.

  • Problem recovering new iPhone 4, Stuck on "Preparing iphone for restore", then giving an error message

    I recently bought an iPhone 4, and it worked just fine, until I tried to sync it with iTunes. Whenever I would try to sync it, it would stall somewhere in the process, and then an error message would come up eventually. It would say something along the lines of "Process timed out, Internal Harware error" or somthing like that, there were several error messages.
    So then I tried to restore the phone. I did it through iTunes, and eventually the process stalled on the "Preparing iPhone for restore" part, and then it would give me an error message (4013). My phone is stuck on the connect to itunes screen. When I do connect it to iTunes it says that the phone is in recorvery mode and that and needs to be restored. So again, I try to restore it and it gets stalled in the "Preparing iPhone for restore" part. I have also recieved the 2005 error code. I have tried to fix it by unplugging all other USB's, using a different USB port, disabling firewalls ect.. I have the newest version of iTunes, and my phone is running 7.0.3 (Can't update now that the restore is necessary, and I couldn't update anyways because the same problem I had syncing it occured when I tried to update.) I have Windows XP.

    Error 1 is a baseband error. If you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage take iPhone to Apple for resolution of this problem. If no coverage then search the Web for Error 1. Users have reported some success with this Error 1.

  • My ipad 2 stop at apple sign and failed to restore bc of 4013 error message

  • HT201413 I have broken the back glass on my iphone 4, now when trying to restore phone I get error message (-1). can anyone help

    As above, I have broken the back glass on my iphone4 now when I try to restore, I get an error message (-1). can anyone advise.Thank you

    Connect it to your computer via the supplied sync cable and restore.

  • Updated to IOS 8 yesterday and ever since have been getting an error message stating "can not download item, try again later".

    After updating to IOS 8 have been getting an error message stating "Can not down load item, please try again later".  I have chosen both options to answer (done or retry) but still get the message.  I have backed my phone up on iTunes but and still getting the message.

    Because all these **** updates Apple can't configurite correctly
    one update counteracts another update.
    im so ****** with all this ****.
    now they want to charge you 20.00 dollars to talk on the phone with them.
    this kind of business will bite them in the *** soon.there are other things out there you can change to.
    and the people on the phone don't know **** about face book.
    probably get blocked for a couple of hours for telling the truth.

    he advises restarting by inserting the OSX disc and pressing down the C button to reboot from there then selecting disk utility, hard disk and repair.... Does he mean me to hold down the C key on the alpha keyboard or the ctrl key?
    Should I just ask for my money back??? If it is a simple repair do I just literally push the disc in, push the power button and hold down the C button?
    That's where I would begin, too, with
    Repair Disk
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.TStatus of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it saysanything but Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need touse autility like TechTool Pro,Drive Geniusor DiskWarrior
    First we need to determine if the issue you are experiencing with the computer is software or hardware based. Once we have gotten things sorted out there should be time enough to make you decision about keeping or returning it.

    Use the directions from this article to find an itunes database that will work.
    Surely one of the files in the *Previous iTunes Libraries* folder will work.
