Ok so I have my ipad 2 on 4.3.1 and I downloaded the update to 4.3.3 via iTunes and when I try to sync the update to the ipad it says that my ipad isn't eligable for the requested build? So I can't get it to update for some reason, I have no idea why this is as I downloaded it straight through iTunes!
 
also the same message happens even when I try to do it in DFU mode
 
a few people have had this problem including me.
do you have tiny umbrella installed on your computer?
 
You must turn off Tiny Umbrella on your Mac or PC and don't let it change your hosts file
 
...

Thanks, i read another post and saw that was the issue. I thought it must have to do with tiny umbrella but had no idea how to fix it
 
I don't know if this will help, but I was having problems updating an iPhone 3GS. Someone else here on McRumours (thanks TriJetHero) posted the following steps to get rid of my issue:

Step 1: Download and the latest version of TinyUmbrella from http://thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.com

Step 2: Click on the "Advanced" tab and uncheck the option "Set Hosts to Cydia on Exit"

Step 3: Reboot your computer and try to restore again.

Along the way TinyUmbrella had told me to kill Skype and I also read I needed to disable my antivirus software during the update. After I performed the steps above, I also made sure Skype was not running and temporarily turned off Symantec Endpoint Protection. I was then able to upgrade my phone.

Thanks, but there is no need to reboot the computer.
 
Actually, for my specific case, I tried updating my phone without rebooting and it didn't work. I got the same error. After reboot the update occurred without a problem.

Not here. I assume you did not forget to quit Tiny Umbrella first?
 
I quit TinyUmbrella and tried the update. I got the same error message as before. Then I rebooted and the update worked.
