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.

    Is your iTunes version 10.5?
    Try this - Disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update.

    SOLUTION FOR ALL.
    This works. Thanks. The best way to do this is through the terminal. Just do the following commands in terminal:
    Type sudo su
    Press enter
    Then enter your password and hit enter
    Type vi /etc/hosts
    Move your cursor with the down arrow to the line that has gs.apple.com without a # at the beginning of the line.
    Move cursor to the beginning of that line.
    Type i# then press the esc key.
    Type :wq
    Press enter
    Type exit
    Press enter
    Now you can quit out of the terminal application. This likely is a problem caused by Tiny Umbrella denying itunes communicating with the apple servers.

  • 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.
    d

    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!

    You have to delete the corrupt back-up so iTunes can at least back-up the current data on the iPhone and then restore it. Search these forums, there a several good posts on how to delete the corrupt back-up.
