Trying to update iPad1 to 4.3.3 * Problem

[gigaguy]

iTunes says device not eligible for requested build???
Tried it 3 times. have the latest iTunes version, I restarted my Mac, Mac updated with latest FW.
this iPad is on 4.3.1 now. what's the deal?? Tried restore, got the same error.

Same here. Tried in DFU mode, recovery, everything, still no go! Anyone that could help would be most appreciated

Not sure if you have figured it out yet, but you need to alter the host file by heading to go, go to folder & typing /etc/. Then copy the hosts file to your desktop, opening up in text edit & putting a # in front of 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com, save it & drag it back to folder. This is should work.

fixed all my problems, f i n a l l y! involved that setting in Tiny Umbrella, checking host name (was fine) and removing Wifi Sync. hard to find. all this took me hours mostly to find the info and hidden Wifi Sync files.!
