Apple TV 2G restore not eligble and error 1604

HI,
When trying to restore my Apple TV 2G I get an error through iTunes after I click restore and update that It cannot be restored because the build is not eligble and sometimes I get the error 1604 after it takes forever to "Prepare Apple TV for Restore".
Any ideas on how to get this thing to be functional again???

Hey Winston, I'm the same guy you've been trying to help last week (https://discussions.apple.com/message/16462635#16462635). All my info of what I did is there
Thanks for trying to help Winston!

Trying to install iTunes on Windows 8.1. Apple Application Support was not found. Error 2. Uniinstall iTunes and try again, does not work. Is there a fix?

Trying to install iTunes on Windows 8.1. Apple Application Support was not found. Error 2. Uniinstall iTunes and try again, does not work. Is there a fix?

Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
Start with the section Install missing components which should address your particular error. Otherwise the steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT) as you start iTunes, then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

Tried to update iPhone 4 to iOS 6 and my phone got stuck in recovery mode. My only option now is to restore my iPhone and lose media. However, I then tried to restore my iPhone and error 1603 occurred. My iPhone is now not working!?!?!

if your computer is not recognizing it, try using a different USB port or different usb cable. if that doesnt work you will need to uninstall and reinstall itunes.

My iTouch won't restore. iTunes keeps stating Error 1604 we can't restore you iTouch. What do I do?

I have had this iTouch for a long time and it has never done this before. my iTouch still has the 'connect to iTunes' picture on it. Everytime I try to restore it, it says Error 1604 afterwards. I can't reset my iTouch or even turn it off because the button on the top won't work. Please help me?

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

If necessary:

My touch died and I got a replacement from Apple. I restored from backup, and it installed all my apps. My iBank and Docs to Go will not set up to sync. In both cases, when I enter the numbers it says they are incorrect. They aren't.

My iPod Touch died, and I received a replacement from Apple. I restored it from my last backup, using iTunes. This reinstalled my apps as well. These included iBank Mobile and Documents to Go. I have the desktop versions on my MacBook. When I attempted to sync I was directed to install the device. OK. In both cases, I get to the point where I am instructed in type in the numbers from the iPod screen into the desktop to set up the sync. When I do, i get an error code in Docs to Go, and "the number is incorrect" from iBank. I tried deleting and reinstalling the mobile app for iBank with the same results. Help please.

When you restore one device from a backup of another device, keychain items like passwords are not restored unless you used an encrypted backup.
Try logging into the two apps. Next I would try deleting the apps and redownload resetup the apps.

From the article that the question was posted from:
Errors related to downgrading iOS
The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go to Settings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed. Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported.
Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.
