  • 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?

  • Iphone stuck in recovery mode and can't recover because "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"

    I have an iPhone 4S and it has been stuck in recovery mode for whatever reason. I have tried using data recovery software that can turn my phone to normal mode but when it tries all my phone does in turn off and then on again, back into recovery mode. I can't use iTunes to recover my phone because it won't let me do it without updating and recovering the iPhone. When I do this it gives me the error "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
    Is there any other way I can restore my phone from backup without getting this error?

The problem is when it tries to verify the update with apple it returns an error message stating the device couldn't be updated because the device isn't eligible for the requested build. Is there anything specific that I need to do?

    the ipod could not be updated. this device isn't eligible for the requested build. what is this? what to do to update my iPod ?

    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....
