    Whenever I try to do a update/restore to iOS 4.3.3 I get an error saying "this device isn't eligible for the requested build."  This only started happening after I installed Xcode to enable the multitasking gestures, while on 4.3.2.  Thanks.

  • 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....

  • HT201442 Just bought a brand new ipod touch a month ago and went in to iTunes. There was an update for me so I downloaded it to my ipod and then it went into recovery mode. Tried to restore it in itunes but was told this device isn't eligible.  Help!!

    Just bought a new ipod touch a month ago.  Went into itunes to burn music and had an update to download which I did. Then I get a message that my ipod has gone into recovery mode. It's locked up with a black screen with iTunes logo and picture of a plugin on the screen. Tried to restore it as recommended but itunes said this device isn't eligible for the requested build. Error codes 3194 and 17. This is very frustrating considering the cost of the ipod and how new it is. Now what do I do?  Buy another one? Can anybody fix these types of things? Is this a common occurance or am I just unlucky?

    Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11.1.5) Installed on your computer
    iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
    Then...
    1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
    Restoring  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the Steps in this article to force the device into Recovery Mode.
    Note on Recovery Mode.
    You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
         Once you have Recovered your Device...

  • Problem updating to iOS5. Error message: "This device isn't eligible for the requested build."

    Hi
    I've been trying to uodate my iPhone to iOS5 since last night. Initially, I kept getting the "Internal Error" messages since I'm assuming that the server was busy. A little later, that changed to the "Server is unavailable" messages. Which is when I gave up trying yesterday.
    I've now resumed my efforts since today morning & I've started getting a different message: "The iPhone could not be restored. This device isn't eligible for the requested build." I have no idea why this is happening. I've updated my iTunes & OSX Lion to the newest versions.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    iPhone 4 (OS 4.3.5 8L1)
    OSX Lion (10.7.2)
    iTunes 10.5 (141)
    Thanks.

    OK so problem solved. Turns out that I had used Tiny Umbrella last night to kick the phone out of recovery mode when it got stuck during one of the attempted upgrades. And I forgot to uncheck the "set host to Cydia" option before quitting.
    All done. iOS5 is here!

    Try authorize this computer in the store menu in Itunes.  This worked for me. It seems that this is an account problem on iTunes.

    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.
