Unable to update to ios 4.3.3
when i connect my iphone 3GS and or ipad i get the message there is an update available to 4.3.3 When I try to update my iphone or ipad I get the error message "this device is not eligible for the requested built" what is this about and why can't i update ?
If you are using a Mac computer, try this solution from user wingv that I found in another thread:
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.

Unable to update my iOS on my iPad and iPhone.
I am unable to update my iOS on my iPad and iPhone. Though I have had these devices and have been updating for over a year, the issue just started with this new release (iOS 5.1).
When I connect my Pad and Phone to iTunes (Windows PC with Vista), I am told that an update is available. When I update, iTunes tries to connect to a server. Then I receive the message, "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad. The network connection could nopt be established."
When I try to update the devices iOS using WiFi directly (not connected to iTunes). The devices say, "Checking for Update..." and does not connect. It says, "Unable to check for update...An error occurred while checking for a software update...Cancel or Try Again"I solved this by downlading the iOS update via wi-fi at another location other than my home. I would still like to know why this download did not work at my home as it has for over a year. I have made no changes in my firewall or security settings.

What happens when you connect to computer and update via iTunes?
The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You need itunes 10 or later and that requires OSX 10.5.8 or later
You have a 2G (vi the SN yo provided) and that can go as high as 4.2.1 -
Unable to update to ios 5.1 on windows
unable to update to ios 5.1 on windows on iPhone 4
My error message says "Unable to Install Update" 2nd line "An error occured installing iOS 5.1."
no specific error number/message.
With a generic one like that, it might be best to try working through the following document:

Have you tried to update via iTunes or via Wifi? Here is the article on how to do both - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623
Tell us what it's telling you when you try if you are having issues.
Some common things to try if you are having issues doing it over wifi:
1) Turn on Airplane Mode in Settings.
2) Turn the iPhone off completely for about 2 minutes by holding the power button and sliding the red bar.
3) Turn the iPhone back on and turn off Airplane mode from Step #1. Try to update again.
4) Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Then reconnect to your Wifi and try to update again.
If you are getting an error about space, you can delete some apps or information to free up space on your iPhone (You can view what's taking up space in Settings > General > Usage) or you can update via iTunes on the computer. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623 -
Unable to update to iOS 5 (Error Code 3194)
I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 4.3.1 (8G4) according to my Settings. I just tried to update to iOS 5 in iTunes (on Windows 7), but I got error 3194 when it tried to contact Apple's servers (Verifying Restore).
Now, before you ask, I have already:
-Upgraded to iTunes 10.5 (newest version)
-Disabled/Uninstalled my firewall and antivirus temporarily
-Restarted my computer
-Attempted to restore my iPhone without updating
-Rebooted my modem and router
-Unplugged other devices (webcam) from other USB ports
-Tried a different USB port and my USB 2.0 Port
I tried everything Apple's KB told me to do, but nothing is fixing the problem. Suggestions?Not really. I suppose you could try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as described here: windows xp, vista/windows 7, then reinstalling the latest version of iTunes to see if that fixes it...but I'm just guessing at this point.

IPhone 3G - Unable to update to iOS 4.2.1
Using PC Win 7. Connect 3G iPhone via USB, shows its backing up, will never complete backup. If left alone iTunes will eventually lock up, and stops responding. I have 3GS, and an iPhone 4, both updated fine using the same PC, this problem only has occured with my iPhone 3G. The same problem happend on a diffrent PC, using Win 7, on 3G iPhone (different family member). Would really like some fresh ideas, because I'm at my wits end. Thank you in advance!!
If it is a 3G it cannot be updated beyond iOS 4.2.1. If it is a 3GS it can be updated to the current version (5.1.1). If you're not sure which model you have, check this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3939.

I tried updating to iOS 6 via ITunes and keep getting getting unknown error
Not true. I had 2.1 GB of free space and it took me 3 times to finally get iOS6 to download and finally install. I think you keep getting a error because so many people are downloading the update still and the servers are going bizerk. So just keep trying, it will eventually work.
