Read these from the FAQ... How do I fix errors and problems when trying to restore/upgrade/downgrade my device?

How do I fix iTunes error 1013 or 3194 ("device not eligible for requested build")?

That second link worked- editing the host information through terminal fixed it!

Thank you very much.

Have you ever used TinyUmbrella? If yes, edit you hosts file (C:windowsSystem32driversetc) with notepad and delete the following line:

74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com

Later try restoring again. I advise you to restore with the phone on recovery mode.

I have tinyumbrella and have old shsh's saved.. but never edited a host file. how would this be done on a mac?

TU does it for you. So you need to go to TU's options and undo what it did. Just make sure the "set HOSTS to Cydia after exit" checkbox is not selected. And close TU completely before opening iTunes
