    Downgrading the iOS is not supported. Also if you have iOS 5 beta then I assume that you are a registered developer, in which case you should be posting in the confidential developer forums : https://devforums.apple.com/index.jspa

  • My iPad 1 can't restore/update to 4.3.3 it says "this device isn't eligible for the requested build."

    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.

    Is the message I received when I tried to synch my Ipad2 with the MacBook Air. The message also said that both devices are current. So ????? IPad is frozen showing the iTune icon with the charge cable.

    These instructions should resolve error 3194:

    Edit: iTunes and my Mac OS are all running on the most up-to-date versions.
    Edit 2: FYI I already tried everything mentioned here, as well. Nothing worked.
    http://www.idownloadblog.com/2011/12/28/device-not-eligible-upgrade-restore-requ ested-build/

    Got it.
    For anyone else who may find this thread and has the same problem in the future, here's what I did.
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/03/fix-this-device-isnt-eligible-for-the-requested-b uild-error-in-itunes-when-updating-ios/
    In case that link stops working, what I did was I exited iTunes, and then manually edited my hosts. The process is this:
    Go to the hosts file. For Mac OS X this is located at: /etc/hosts or /private/etc/hosts and in Windows it is located at: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
    Open the hosts file with Administrative privileges so that changes can be made and saved (eg: sudo nano /etc/hosts)
    Look for a line that resembles something like this:
    74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
    Put a # in front of that to comment it out, making it now look like this:
    # 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
    Save the hosts file (control + O)
    Flush DNS cache and restart iTunes
    Essentially, anything with a gs.apple.com address, put a # and a space in front of it. Then, AFTER that, I flushed my DNS cache. The article says to do that before, but I found doing it after manually editing the hosts was the only way to get it to work. Here's how:
    Quit out of iTunes and open the Terminal in OS X Lion, then type:
    dscacheutil -flushcache
    Then you should be good to go. Hope this takes you less time to fix than it did for me. Cheers!

  • "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.

    From 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.
