(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Many people have came across this problem. It is a simple and plain fix.

Step 1:
Download iTunes

Step 2:
Connect iPod (Whatever)

Step 3:
Restore

Now if you get the error 1611 you may want to try a different computer (thats what worked for me) now if its 3194 continue to

Error Code: 3194
Step 4: Open "Notepad.exe" as administrator.

Open> C:\\Windows\System33\Drivers\

Choose the "host" file.

Note: if its not showing up, change the default setting to "all files"

Step 5:
Remove: 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
Then click save and restart iTunes.



Hope I helped out in any way, shape, or form.
