Re-installed itunes but cannot get iphone 4 to upgrade?

I've been having problems getting my iphone to synv with my computer. Reinstalled itunes, but cannot get software installed on iphone 4

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.
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.

    Click on the iPhone Subsection, then go to the music subsection, and remeber to enable the sync music. When you are done, click on the APPLY button on the lower right of iTunes. Afterwards, sync your iPhone. Hope this helps!

  • Trying to install itunes but keep getting windows error126 message and libicuin.dll missing

    trying to install itunes but keep getting windows error 126 message and libicuin.dll missing have reinstalled numerous times and keep getting same messages.

    Are you saving the installer first and then installing, or are you running the installer directly from Apple's website? Also save first.
    If you're saving first and still having issues, try and use Microsoft's Cleanup Utility and then reinstall Quicktime/iTunes:

    Make sure it's a new and fresh download from:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If not mentioned in the articles, make a new user account in Windows and see if iTunes opens. That will tell you if there's something funky in your main account (if the new user works), or if you have a system-wide issue.

  • Puchased some audio books. They are on my itunes, but cannot get them on my Shuffle?

    Purchased some audio books. They are on my itunes, butt cannot get them on my ipod shuffle.

    You can delete apps from itunes by going to the Apps section of the Library NOT the sync page. Select App and delete. It will then be gone from the App Sync page as well.

  • HT1926 installed itunes but cannot find .exe

    When I clickon itunes it cant find .exe file.
    When I look in the install folder its not there

    "The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "My Music" folder.
    the following document is the best place to start with that one:
    iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
    ... but if you run into the complication where "My Music" doesn't appear as an option in TweakUI, perhaps try the alternate procedure from the following Nigel Carpenter post:

  • TS1277 sony laptop - downloaded iTunes but cannot get laptop authorised to play content

    Hi, just downloaded iTunes to new Sony Vaio laptop and although all iTunes content appears as on old Sony laptop I cannot play it! A message appears saying computer is not authorised. I have tried to authorise it through iTunes Store as per support instructions but no box appears saying click here to authorise this computer (or similar message). Any ideas? Keep it simple please I'm not not a Geek! Thanks.

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • I have rented a movie from iTunes, but cannot get it to play

    The film has downloaded, and on the picture of the film title, there is the word "play" with an arrow.  When I click on the word play, nothing happens.  I have iTunes 10.5, and iTunes has been happy as a clam, and I can listen to music and audio books...but I cannot play this film! 
    I appreciate any advice anyone can give!
    Thanks,

    Should be under Library>Movies. Try searching for it in the Movie section.

  • Movies in Itunes but cannot get them onto ipod

    Ok i have my movies i want to put on my Ipod and they are in Itunes under movies but i cannot drag them to my Ipod if anyone could help that would be great. Thanks

    I'm far from being a newbie with computers and digital toys and I'm also having this problem. From my first experience with trying to retrieve a disc from a power mac to now, trying to accomplish what should be a simple task on an ipod which everybody seems to have. I'm not impressed with apple. I think everybody is dazzled with the shiny pretty looks and they can't see beyond that. User friendly my @$$

  • My Apple ID has been changed in iTunes but cannot get it changed on settings for iCloud, how do I get it changed in order to access my iCloud account?

    I had to change my Apple ID because the email address that I had was hacked into. My iTunes works but when I updated my phone with the most recent software update the Apple ID for my iCloud reverted back to my old email and will not let me change it to access my iCloud. Also my contact info has been randomly deleting tonight as well.

  • How do i get my apps from my ipad onto my imac? i am logging into itunes but cannot get apps

    plse help

    You do realize that the apps for the iPad cannot be used on the Mac, right? They are two different operating systems. iOS apps for iOS devices and Mac Apps for Macs.
    You can only store iOS apps in the iTunes libraries on a Mac.
