    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, 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.

  • HT201442 My phone wont restore. It is showing error 3194. How do I fix this?

    My battery went flat. I charged the phone (Iphone 5) up again and tried to open using my fingerprint. Got a message that I needed to enter the PIN because it was restarting. Entered the PIN - a number engraved on my mind for years - but it would not accept it. Got locked out.
    Followed Apple support's on-line help to the "T" , but now have a phone that won't restore.
    Phoned Apple. There's no-one there until tomorrow morning.
    Any ideas what to do, please? Other than bin every Apple product in the house (which I feel like doing after one problem after another for the last two weeks).
    Thanks
    Oh - and yes....Am i the only person who doesn't understand the Apple jargon? I just want a phone that works. It isn't my hobby. I have better things to do than mess about with this rubbish.

    Thanks again. The second time I tried to restore I got error 3004.
    My first problem was that the passcode was not accepted and I got locked out. I followed the support instructions (the same ones you have shared with me on your link). Everything was synced/backedup to i-tunes. (Took 40 minutes or so). When i tried to restore, I got the error 3194 message.
    I am at my wits end with this.....It is a phone supplied by my employer to replace an i-phone 4 that I had for two years without any problems. I got the new phone two weeks ago and followed the backup instructions then but the backup lost all of my contacts (business colleagues and clients numbers I had builkt up over the years) and I spent more than 16 hours the week before last on the phone to Apple trying, without success, to get them back. Hence my tetchiness about Apple.
    Today's problem feels like adding insult to injury and will undoubtedlky eat into a huge chunk of my limited time. Come back BlackBerry, all is forgiven!
    Thanks for trying to help. If you have any other ideas, I would be very grateful.

  • IPod Won't Restore Error 3194

    The iPod won't restore an when i try to restore my iPod in comes up with the Error 3194, from what i can call the error apppears when it says verfiying with apple i have tried changing host, no luck.

    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.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.  For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
    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.

  • Error "3194" when trying to update to iOS 5

    Hi guys,
    I've downloaded the iOS 5 firmware but after it backs up my device and attempts to install I get an error "3194"
    A google search doesnt seem to show any fix that has worked.
    Thanks in advance,
    - liquidshade

    Phil,
    Same here, tried all the suggested steps in the 'more info' link but still gave the 3194.
    A quick search of iPhone 4 discussions suggested these steps (thanks MacMan TommyC)
    Do a HARD reset of the iPhone - holding the Lock/Power button and Home Buttons until the iPhone powers down and the Apple Logo reappears.
    Make sure that your Mac (I'm assuming) has all recent security and iTunes updates completed; Safari, too, made a diff here as well.
    Do a HARD reset on the computer as well.
    Launch ITunes FIRST then connect the IPhone to the USB again.
    Upon recognition, hopefully, ITunes will want to do the Update to iOS 5 for you, do its LOOOOONG back-up, and then install the update for you and then put everything back on.
    Also added the following to the host file, not sure if it actually helped but it was came up quite frequent on a Google search
    #74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
    Hope the above helps

    Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

    What can I do ???
    thanks

    Are you trying to install 6.1.4, or the latest version, which is 7.0.2? That error means that you are either downgrading, or your phone is jailbroken. Downgrading is not supported, and jailbroken can't be discussed in an Apple hosted forum.

  • IPad 3 won't start up (broken screen aswell) and when restoring/updating gives errors 3194 or 4005

    Like the title says, I have an iPad 3 from a friend which has a broken screen and won't start up anymore. He is not sure whether it's just the screen or
    something else aswell. So I'm able to get it recognized by itunes if I put it in recovery/dfu mode. Then I try restoring it but I get the error 4005 most of the time.
    It has nothing to do with the solutions given when I search for error 4005 on google (like hosts file and stuff) because I can easily update my iPhone and my sisters' iPhone. With a program called TinyUmbrella I'm able to get it recognized in iTunes WITHOUT the ipad being in recovery mode, because the program has an option to kick it back out of recovery mode. Then I'm able to access the pictures and delete apps all that stuff in itunes/windows, but I still do not get anything on the screen. So then I tried updating to ios 7 because the iPad was still on ios 6.1.3 but then I get error 3194 which is kinda the same as 4005. Also tried restoring but that gave the same error.
    So now i'm unsure whether the iPad would work if I replace the screen, because it seems to function properly when I can kick it out of recovery with TinyUmbrella. But then I thought, even if I did replace the screen, I still wouldn't be able to update the OS or restore? I don't want to waste my money replacing the screen if it won't even work afterwards..
    Yes I tried different usb ports, yes I tried different cables, yes I tried the hosts file thing, I don't have an antivirus installed (only 'antivirus' I have is malware bytes, windows firewall is off, tried on a different computer, tried on a mac, ... I don't think this is the reason because my iPhone updates perfectly.
    I did notice though that when restoring when the iPad is in recovery that it would say "waiting for ipad" but then my windows pc says "usb device not recognized" , maybe this has something to do with it?
    Solutions please?
    Thanks in advance

    A PRRAM reset did the trick.

    If I remember correctly, there were two different installers for 10.0.45.2: one that did the checking for a newer version, and one that did not.

  • TS3694 any suggestions for fixing "unknown error 3194"?

    any suggestions for fixing "unknown error 3194"?
    i updated the phone through itunes but got the message above.  I am trying to recover my contact information, which is most important to me (all business contacts are on this phone).  The phone will not turn on.  I have tried resetting the phone with the home/power button, the phone is fully charged as well.  Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
    thank you!

    The 3194 update/restore error usually means the computer can't connect to gs.apple.com.
    See this Apple doc -> iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
    Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 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.
    If you just want to get the contacts back, and they are on the computer, you can just sync them from iTunes again.

  • I tried to restore my ipod heaps of times and none of them worked. i got error 3194, 2009, 1604 and 1601. PLEAS HELP ME!

    i tried to restore my ipod heaps of times on different computers and operating systems. whenever i tried, i got errors. mostly i got error 3194. i sometimes got erroe 1604, 1601 or 2009. please help me!

    A few things to try, all copied from Update and restore error messages on iPhone and iPod touch
    Error 1600, 1601: Uninstall and reinstall the latest version of iTunes (see instructions for Mac and Windows). If that doesn't resolve the issue, see the steps for 1602.
    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on): If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.
    Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes.
