TS4451: Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"

Received an error which sent me a Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build" with instructions to fix it. Opened the terminal, ran the command, and entered my password, but there was no line with gs.apple.com. I'm quite frustrated; it seems if I can resolve this I will have another 8 hours downloading iOS8! I have an iPhone5 which I supposed to be compatible with iOS8, and an running OSX Mavricks 10.9.4 and iTunes 11.4 (18)

iPhone 5, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
