I Keep trying to update my iPhone 3GS to IOS 4.3.5 and everytime i get itunes errors 3194, 1015... i have never jailbroken before

ok i did some research and worked out how to get rid of error 3194.
1) go to my computer
2)click on local disk
3) click the windows file
4)look for the file System32 click on it
5)look fop the file drivers and click on that
6)then the file etc
7)there wil now be a file named host click on it, it will give you a few options open the file in wordpad or notepad, when you open the file it at the botoom it wil have a line which says something like this
# 98.343.34.344 gs.apple.com
delete the
98.343.34.344 gs.apple.com
but leave the hash
now dont close the host file and open itunes and reconnect the usp device and hopefully you will be able to restore you iphone once the restore is done you can close the host file.

What happened when you connected your iPhone to your computer while running iTunes on your computer? You should be prompted through the restore process. If it doesn't work try getting your iPhone into Recovery Mode.

sorry for bad english

This is what I posted to someone else having an update issue... Just for your information:
I having the same issue about the and iTunes says "The iPhone cannot be restored at this time because the iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable.". I've had the iPhone 3GS since it came out. It was working fine until I just tried to update it. It has NEVER been hacked or jailbroken. WE AND A FEW OTHERS are having the same issue then it is more than likely that this is an update issue. I took mine to the Apple store and the tech tried to update it and he came to the same problem and told me he couldn't update it. My assumption is that we are not the only one's with this issue and that if there was a way to update it to the update before this last one it might be a solution. I don't know how to get the previous update. Apple probably is aware of the problem, and hasn't come up with a solution yet. Or, enough people haven't complained yet. The tech suggested that there might be something wrong with the phone itself, but that couldn't be since it was working perfectly before I updated it and others are having the same issue. It is highly unlikely that a lot of people are having the same hardware issue all of a sudden at the same time. Apple/iTunes needs to fix this... and hopefully soon
Also: I can update or restore my iPhone 5 and other iPhones so it is not an issue with my firewall or other software on my computer. No one touches my iPhone or my computer they are secure, locked all the time, and I have no jailbreak software on my computer (Apple tried it and they are clueless at the moment from what I can tell).

TS3694 How do I restore my iPhone from recovery mode when I get an error 3194 message

I am trying, unsuccessfully, to restore my iPhone 4 from recovery mode. When I attempt to restore through iTunes I get a message telling me the process cannot be completed because of an error 3194. There is no documentation or information on what this error means - and how to restore the phone when this message appears. Can anyone help?

This usually means you previosly used an iPhone hacking utility such as tinyumbrella, altering the hosts file on your computer, and blocking access to the apple server, gs.apple.com.

HT201263 I cannot restore iPhone 3GS with iTunes

I cannot restore my iPhone 3GS with iTunes. I am using Windows 7. Can anyone help me. I wont even boot. I previously jailbroke it. So i need help. I try restore. iPhone cannot restore. I try .ipsw file. Cannot restore because the firmware file is corrupted.

Jailbreaking your phone not only voids any warranty with Apple, but also forfeits your ability to receive any assistance, including from this forum.
Discussion of jailbroken phones is strictly prohibited by the Terms of Use of this forum.
You'll have to search elsewhere on the internet for assistance. I know, why don't you start with the lovely people who helped you jailbreak your phone to begin with?

Whenever I restore or update all of my iOS devices (iPad 1, iPod touch 4, and an iPhone 4s), I get error 3194. I don't on another computer.

In the past, I have restored and updated my devices without a glitch/bug. However, recently, after the release of iOS 6, after upgrading my iPod touch and iPhone 4S, I started getting these errors. I thought it was iTunes, so I followed this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925, but it did not help. Then I tried restoring my iPod on another computer and encountered no problems. So I tried restoring my iPod touch directly after restoring it on my original computer. I still got error 3194 ( and other errors that I have since forgotten).
I am on Windows 7 pro, 64 bit.

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.

Error 3914 when restoring iOS 6.1.2 iPod touch 4th Generation

I've tried restoring my iPod but I keep getting the error message. I an using Windows 7 and 8 but iTunes cannot restore the iPod on either computer. I have also tried changing the hosts file on both but it made no difference. Is there something else which I can do?

IPod Touch 4g does not restore/update - error 3194

Hello,
I've recently been having a great deal of trouble with my 64GB iPod Touch 4g, which I purchased in maybe late March or early April of this year. I consider myself adequately learned in technology and I've done a vast amount of research into this problem, and have not been able to resolve it, so I took it upon myself to ask my question here.
Firstly, I am running iTunes on a Windows 7 64-bit system, and I should note that I have found lots of answers to similar problems for people with jailbroken iPod Touches, but I don't think these solutions would work for me since I have not jailbroken my iPod. I have also not yet upgraded to iOS 6, but was on the latest version of iOS (5.x...I don't remember). Also, I bought my iPod from Amazon so obviously the 30-day return window has expired.
Anyway, on to the problem. Yesterday, my iPod froze and so I reverted to the 'hard reboot' method of fixing it by pressing the home key and the sleep key at the same time, and released when the Apple logo showed up. I waited for the device to reboot as it normally does, except that in all the previous times I have done this hard reboot, while the Apple logo shows up for a little while until the lock screen loads, this time that did not happen. Instead, there were colored bars that showed up on the screen (I don't know how to describe it, exactly) that eventually covered up the Apple logo and faded into a completely white screen. From this screen, I tried the hard reboot again and the Apple logo showed up again, only to be covered up by those bars and fading into white again. I tried rebooting it a few more times, but to no avail.
I then opened iTunes and plugged in my iPod, but it was not recognised by the computer (presumably because it was not fully on), so I tried putting the device in DFU recovery mode (hold the sleep key and home key until the device tells you to connect to iTunes). At this point, iTunes seemed to recognize that a device was plugged in, but not that it was my iPod because where it normally gives you the information (my iPod, Capacity: ...., Serial number: ... and so forth), the information just read 'iPod' (not 'My iPod', as it was named before this unfortunate event), 'Capacity: n/a, Serial number: n/a', and so forth. I pressed the 'restore' button and there was an error, 3194, on the step 'Verifying restore with Apple'.
So I went to Google, looking up troubleshooting tips for this particular error, and most of the answers I found were just for people with jailbroken iPods, even though mine isn't jailbroken. I have tried numerous solutions (updating the hosts file in drivers, turning off the firewall, etc) to no avail, and I still get that pesky white screen whenever I try to reboot my device.
I'm also worried that even if I get my device to restore successfully, then it still might not boot up properly. To be honest, I'm a little more worried about the booting problem than the restoring problem.
Does anyone have any advice for what I should do in this situation, other than visit the Apple store? There is one in my town but I feel like I've invested a lot in this device and I don't want to pay too much for any repairs that may need to be done (especially considering that this appears to be a software issue and not a hardware one); I'm a high school student and don't have that much money.
Thank you for any help.
