    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

  • 5.1 update..... "this device isn't eligible for the requested build"...???

    iphone 4S with 5.0.1...tried to update this morning to 5.1 (update available message on iTunes), and get this error message:
    "The iPhone "xxxx" could not be updated. This device isn't eligible for the requested built."
    clicked on more information and been forwarded to support.apple.com to "iOS: resolving update and restore alert messages", followed all the steps, checked that all software is up to date, disconnect other USB devices, restarts and so on....no way, still get the same error message...
    anyone knows whats going on ?
    Thanks, Igor

    found a work around...simply go to "settings" then "software update" and update from there.....apart from that you can also make changes in your "host" file, cause i guess thats the reason iTunes break up the update once it connects to the apple server, either delete "74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com" in the host file, then itunes should update the software, or add an "#" in front of the address...both should work...
    you can also open terminal and type:
    sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
    press enter and enter password, delete the address above, its usualy at the end of the host file, navigate in terminal with arrow keys, after address is deleted press "control-o" to save the file. Exit terminal, restart iTunes, thats it...
    however, try to update over iPhone settings first....

    Can you get a Wi-Fi connection on your iPhone?
    I got an Internet connection on my phone, went to SETTINGS --> GENERAL --> SOFTWARE UPDATE and updated my Software wirelessly (no iTunes involved).
    When I connected my phone to my Computer again and iTunes popped up, it showed that my iPhone software was up to date. Then I could restore to an old back-up.

  • HT201210 Stuck in recovery mode, unable to restore. "This device isn't eligible for the requested build."

    "The iPad "___" could not be restored. This device isn't eligible for the requested build."
    I tried all the trouble shooting steps listed here, and none worked.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
    Any help would be great!
    Edit: iTunes and my Mac OS are all running on the most up-to-date versions.
    Edit 2: FYI I already tried everything mentioned here, as well. Nothing worked.
    http://www.idownloadblog.com/2011/12/28/device-not-eligible-upgrade-restore-requ ested-build/

    Got it.
    For anyone else who may find this thread and has the same problem in the future, here's what I did.
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/03/fix-this-device-isnt-eligible-for-the-requested-b uild-error-in-itunes-when-updating-ios/
    In case that link stops working, what I did was I exited iTunes, and then manually edited my hosts. The process is this:
    Go to the hosts file. For Mac OS X this is located at: /etc/hosts or /private/etc/hosts and in Windows it is located at: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
    Open the hosts file with Administrative privileges so that changes can be made and saved (eg: sudo nano /etc/hosts)
    Look for a line that resembles something like this:
    74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
    Put a # in front of that to comment it out, making it now look like this:
    # 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
    Save the hosts file (control + O)
    Flush DNS cache and restart iTunes
    Essentially, anything with a gs.apple.com address, put a # and a space in front of it. Then, AFTER that, I flushed my DNS cache. The article says to do that before, but I found doing it after manually editing the hosts was the only way to get it to work. Here's how:
    Quit out of iTunes and open the Terminal in OS X Lion, then type:
    dscacheutil -flushcache
    Then you should be good to go. Hope this takes you less time to fix than it did for me. Cheers!
