Error Code 3194

Address TCP/IP filtering, firewall, or security software

If you have TCP/IP filtering, firewall, or security software installed on your computer, try these steps.

1. Configure or temporarily uninstall your security software.
2. Be sure you have a working Internet connection. Try visiting www.apple.com or contact your Internet service provider for more help.
3. Bypass your Internet router. Some routers might block iTunes from accessing the update server. If you're using a router that isn't manufactured by Apple, try the following:

• Disconnect from your wired or wireless router and use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer directly to your modem.
• Restart your computer and modem. Contact your Internet service provider for instructions on using your modem.

After you confirm your Internet connection is working, try to update or restore your iOS or iPadOS device again.
