In some cases this is user caused (error 3194 is easy to fix as is error 3200 & 3002), but if you're continuing to have issues it could be related to a firewall or http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/27/manually-update-or-restore-ios-5/ a handful of other causes. For those cases, here's another approach to manually update to iOS 5.

errors that pop up every time I try to update, restore or (at times) even sync the iPhone, the notorious iTunes error 3194 is the one I fear most. Not that the error hasn't got a fix, but the fact that there are plenty of fixes for the error and that you'll have to try each one in a variety of combinations to fix the thing.
