So I have the iPad 3rd generation 16GB Wifi and it runs on iOS 5.1. I have NEVER jailbroken this device and when I try to update it I get the error "This device isn't eligible for requested build." I heard that this usually happens to jailbroken devices but mine isn't even jailbroken. Is there any way I can fix it? I tried to restore my iPad through iTunes but it won't allow me to do that either.
Got a tip for us?

uhh i believe you need to run iOS 5.1.1, it doesn't work on anything else.
try updating your iPad firmware to 5.1.1, and try again:

look in the top right for links to download based on platform (you need to use a mac / windows / linux computer)
these links should open up a URL with "sites.google..."
