Can not restore Ipad 4. Now stuck on blue itunes connect screen (recovery mode?)

I have an ipad 4 stuck in recovery mode. I've tried every method I could find on the internet with no luck. I tried to update to ios 8 and received an error 3014. I tried it on 2 desktops, a laptop, hard wired to modem, disabled firewalls/anti virus, etc, etc. Now just trying to restore. It's stuck on a blue itunes connect screen (recovery mode?). Tried hard reset, dfu mode everything I can find. Just doing what I'm supposed to do. Update the software and now the device is unusable. Super frustrating. Any help is appreciated. I need this for my business.
