TS3694 what is unknown error 3194

Whilst trying to restore my 3GS the message 'unknown error 3194 occurred'. What does this mean?

It sounds like security software may be interferring. I would try to disable or uninstall any 3rd party security software installed.

What is the error 3194 while restoring your firmware ?

Don't panic and don't worry. Your problem is basic. This error happens when your downgrade or upgrade your iDevice once apple stop signing the firmware.
DON'T use Tinyumbrella or others jailbreak utilities.
Steps:
1. Goto Windows/System32/Drivers/etc
2. Open "Hosts" file with Notepad.
3. Delete gs.apple.com (everything - all traces) then save it.
3A. And also delete the Tinyumbrella notepad file.
4. Plug-in your iDevice to PC, start iTunes and Restore.
All the best!

TS3694 What does the error 3194 mean is wrong with the ipod?

Our ipod got splashed with water in the bathroom (8 year old brings it everywhere). Now it doesn't work at all. Plugged it into the computer and it says detect unknown ipod, in recovery mode - do we want to restore it. I choose "restore & update" but it gives the error of 3194 and the apple site doesn't say any specifics about this error. Is our ipod dead???? It is only just over a month old so we have the 1 year warranty. If my son got it wet, will apple do anything for us. Even if it isn't covered under the warranty, is it something that can be fixed or do we need to buy a new ipod?????
Any help in this, otherwise I am about to call the 800 number. Any insite appreciated.

Errors related to third-party security software
Error 2, 4 (or -4), 6, 1000, 9006
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps underAdvanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.
Restore your device while connected to a different network.

That is not true. Jaibreaking is not illegal and Apple can't seize your device if yu do. The can just refuse service like help in this Apple forum.

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.

The 3194 update/restore error usually means the computer can't connect to gs.apple.com.

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.

Getting Unknown Error 3194 While Upgrading Iphone 4....Help Plz..

Hello..
I am using Iphone 4 iOS 4.1 BB 2.10
i want to upgrade my iphone iOS to 4.2.1 but when i try to restore 4.2.1 iOS via itune it gives an unknown error 3194..
i searched in google and many forum it says that try to use new version of itune.
i m already using 10.1 version of itune..
i changed my laptop and tried on other laptop to restore but still getting same error..
i located host file in c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/ and opened host file in notepad.
but in that host file there is nothing written like gs.apple.com like that... nor ip address is given in host file....
i m using win vista os in my laptop
please can you suggest me any helpful method to get me out with this problem....
Thankyou

Apple doesn't support upgrading to any but the current release, which is 4.3.1 (an which, incidentally, appears to fix some of the bugs in earlier versions).
If you want to go to a different version, you'll have to look for answers elsewhere, because Apple doesn't allow discussion of this kind of unsupported activity on these boards. Doing what you want requires you to do some hacking.
If you Google "downgrade iOS" you'll find plenty of help
