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.
Try manually downloading the update.
Here is the update for the iPad 1;
http://appldnld.apple.com/iPhone4/041-1010.20110503.ScEp3/iPad1,1_4.3.3_8J3_Rest ore.ipsw
After you have downloaded the update, attach your iPad to your computer, open iTunes and select your iPad in the devices list. Press & hold the Option/Alt key and click the Check for Update button. Browse to where you downloaded the update and Choose it. iTunes will handle the rest. -

"This device isn't eligible for the requested build" Trying to restore to 4.4.1
Hello,
I adquired yesterday the appleTv 2g. It comes with the 4.2.1 (2100) firmware. I would like o update it to the ios 5. But I press "restore" button on itunes, it downloaded the 4.4.1 and it keep saying: "This device isn't eligible for the requested build".
I don't know what's happening. Can anybody help me?
Thank you very much.The software versions are signed by Apple.
If they are superceded or revoked the digital signature can be unobtainable.
Many have posted issues with 4.4 and 4.4.1 and at least one site suggests these firmwares have been revoked pending bug fixes.
I have not tried to update yet - when issues are posted I prefer to stick with what I've got.
You may be able to update to 4.3 via itunes, the last 'good' version. -

i used ipod touch 4 ios 5.1From this article: iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.
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.

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. -
