Unknow Error 56 trying to update to iOS 8.1

tried to update to iOS 8.1 today, then the unknown error 56 poped up. iPhone 6 now cant be restored nor updated, got totally stuck. please... i am begging for help.

I have the exact same problem, error 56.
I get the iTunes restore screen but the restore fails 90% of the way through.
I tried an over the air update last night that caused it.
My phone often gets stuck in extended reboot loops and shows either red or blue screen on the reboot loop.
The phone is un-restoreable now and I can't get a genius appointment for a week. I paid nearly £800 and it's unusable, disappointed is not the word.

Error while trying to update to ios 5

I keep getting an error while trying to update to iOS 5. I update iTunes this morning to the lastest version so I know that isn't the problem. I have tried restarting both my computer and my phone, but contine getting "The iPhone could not be restore. An unknow error occurred (3194)." PLease help! Thanks in advance

I am also getting the error 43 when the update tries to back the phone up. Im using the latest version of itunes. This is on an iphone4, I am in the UK.
I tried deleting all of the historical backups to see if a fresh backup folder helps. It did not.
Ive tried running iTunes in 'administrator' mode on my Windows 7 machine. This made no difference.
Ive tried putting the phone in airplane mode. No difference.
I tried getting it into restore mode just to see if it worked on a iphone4. However it did not seem to want to do it.
Im not not too sure about proceeding with this update as I done want to loose any of the apps I have. (or 3 my 3 stars in every angry birds level on all 3 versions of the game!!)
Please someone, HELP !! !!

I keep geting an error message trying to update to ios 5 on my Ipad. Can anyone help?

I can't update to ios 5. Keep getting error message.

What is the error message ? If it's a network timeout message then try temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed. If it's a different error then telling us what it is might mean someone on here can help

Multiple errors when trying to update to IOS 5

Hello
I know that Apple's servers were swapped for hours after the update was released but it's been 15 hours since then and I can't believe that's still the case.
I have tried doing a normal update, a shift + click restore using the IPSW file and also a restore in DFU mode.
I also checked the hosts file, turned off the firewall and I do not have a hardware firewall and im not behind a proxy!
I recieved a multitude of different errors (3200 mainly but also 3002, 3014 etc).
Are the servers still overloaded?
It's not as if Apple should not have anticipated this.....
Biggest IOS update so far
Best IOS update so far
Update delayed
Millions more iphones and ipads then there have ever been before.
Apple should have been prepared for this, 'our servers are overloaded' is not good enough in my opinion and it's beyond belief 15 hours later!!
I was looking for an excuse to go to the S3 when it comes out and I couldn't find one.....until perhaps now

I solved the problem! The updates orignally were downloaded to the C: drive of the server. I've since moved them to the E: drive and for some reason the Content folder in IIS didn't change the file path to the new WSUScontent folder.
The root cause for this was failing to use the UTILITY designed for this very purpose.
I edited the virtual directory settings in IIS and was able to put the correct path in.
You still need to use the UTILITY.. to fix all the other stuff you're still missing.
In the %ProgramFiles%\Update Services\Tools folder...
WSUSUTIL MOVECONTENT E:\WSUS E:\WSUS\MoveContent.LOG -SKIPCOPY
This problem was caused by moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.
No. This problem was caused by IMPROPERLY moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.

Error 1603 after trying to update to ios 5 now phone is bricked stuck in recovery mode

Try this - download a program called rec boot. follow the instructions to kick it out of recovery mode. and does itunes recognise
or hold the power and home button together until you see a "connect to itunes" pic on the screen
hope it helps

Today I tried to update to IOS 8 on my ipad 4. I thought I was doing everything right. I did it through itunes. I backed up before starting. It now is frozen. itunes says it's in recovery mode.get error 3014. HELP!

Today I tried to update to IOS 8 on my ipad 4. I thought I was doing everything right. I did it through itunes. I updated iTunes to 11.4. I backed up before starting. It now is frozen. itunes says it's in recovery mode. The only options it gives me is to Restore so I say ok... after a few seconds I get get error 3014. It says this ipad can not be restored. It has a button to click for more info which leads me to this page: Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
Please help, I have a back up I just can't get to it. Why did this happen!!!
HELP!

I have since tried a few more things... suggestions found online...
I tried using another computer, same house same internet link though... it downloaded the update again, took about an hour & a half but as soon as it finished it said it could not restore because "device could not be found". I unplugged my ipad then plugged it back in so it would "see" it but it just went right back to the "ipad in recovery mode needs to be restored"... then the same error 3014.
I don't know if the computer can sense the ipad or what's going on. On the screen when it wants to do the restore it has an icon of an ipad & it says "Serial Number: n/a
The next thing I tried... was right clicking iTunes & choosing "Run as Administrator". It started another hour & a half download of the update... but then when it was done it went right back to the error 3014.
Is there nothing that can help?!?

Error 3200 while trying to update to iOS 5! Help??

I'm trying to update to iOS 5, and every time it reaches as far as extracting the software and prepping the phone for the update. Then it stops and gives me an error 3200. Any fixes to this?

It worked for me after I disabled the Passcode, turned off WiFi and Cell networks, closed all apps (hit the home button twice and then hold on an app to bring up the close button). After all that power down and power up. Worked for me then.
However it is probably more related to as others have said the sheer volume of hits.
