  • HT201210 This device isn't eligible for the requested build??

    Please can someone help, just had a new iPad 1 as the battery went in my old one. Plugged it in and it will not let me restore or update, just says 'This iPad could not be restored. This device is not eligible for the requested build'
    What can I do?

    This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the 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: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > 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. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

    Running Mountain Lion (was getting this issues on the old OS as well) and an up to date iPhone 4S, and iTunes is up to date

  • HT201210 The iphone could not be restored.This device isn't eligible for the requested build

    Can anyone help me in restoring my iPhone .
    1) I updated my iPhone to iOS6 wirelessly and for some reason it stucked in Recovery Mode loop.
    2) I tried everything to came out of Recovery Mode loop but nothing worked.
    3) I don't have any backup so now im just trying to Restore/Update(i know i'll loose all my data ) As i just want my phone to work.
    4) The latest iOS6 image is downloaded with iTunes version is 10.7.
    5) But every time i try to restore it just stucks with the message."The iphone could not be restored.This device isn't eligible for the requested build."
    Any solution ?

    were you running a beta version of the software before updating?

  • HT201210 The iPad "My iPad" could not be updated. This device isn't eligible for the requested build.

    It says, 'The iPad "My iPad" could not be updated. This device isn't eligible for the requested build." I don't get an error number. It's an iPad 2.

    Have you tried following the troubleshooting for that error message on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694 ?

  • 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!
