1. Open iTunes and connect the iPhone to your System (PC/Laptop).


2. Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time

3. After exactly 10 seconds release the Sleep/Wake button. Continue holding the home button until you iTunes pops up a message telling you that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.

4. The iPhone screen will remain black

It may take a few attempts to get your iPhone into DFU mode. Generally, I hold down both buttons then release the Home button just before I think the Apple logo would appear. If you are still holding both buttons down and you see the Apple logo you are holding them down for too long

then try to perform the restore on itunes, if that did not work post a comment so I can assist you.

Iphone 4 error 3194

  • Quit iTunes
  • Locate your hosts file, in Mac OS X this is /etc/hosts and in Windows this is c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
  • Open the hosts file with Administrator privileges
  • Add the following lines to the very bottom of the hosts file:
  • 74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com
  • Connect your iPhone to the computer
  • Launch iTunes
  • Put the iPhone/iPad/iPod into DFU mode by turning the phone off and then holding down the sleep and power button for 10 seconds, then release the power button but hold onto the home button until iTunes tells you that the device is now in recover mode
  • Use the iTunes Restore feature as usual with the iOS device
  • After the process, remove the line you added to the hosts file.

My iphone 3gs willnot on and not show me the apple logo

Instead of trying to update when you connect to iTunes you should try to restore the phone completely.

You can find the restore button in the lower right hand corner of your screen. If iTunes asks if you want to update click cancel. You just want to restore.

If it is still not turning on after it reappears in iTunes you should take it to Apple if it is still under warranty they will exchange it for you.
