These days I found that many people visited my blog through the search engine with the keyword "Error 3194" "update ipod/iphone". So I've notice that many people would like to update their ipod or iphone into iOS4.0. So I would like to translate my last post "ipod 升级固件时报错3194" into English.
The iTunes report Error 3194 is because apple had shut down their verify domain name, and we should modify our host file, so we can still get the iOS4.0 firmware verified. So let's start this work now.
First , you should open this path on your computer(win OS): C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
If you're using Mac, you can find this file on this pat: /private/etc/hosts
Ok, now open this hosts file with notepad or other text editor, and add this at the end of the file as bellow:
74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
and then restart your computer, and update your firmware again, all thing done~!
