Hi, I followed all the instructions and everything went well, but when i restore in iTunes it gives me the following error "The ipad "ipad" could no be restored. This isn´t eligible for the request build." What did I do wrong? How can I fix it? **I have a iPad1 with software version 4.3.1**

Hey guys. I just updated to the newest firmware by following the instructions on this site. I noticed that my lock screen switch no longer works. When I pull the switch down the screen displays the volume mute instead of the lock. Is anyone else having the same problem? Any ideas on how to fix it?

Yong, If you go to Settings, General - you will find a section which has the title 'Use Side Switch to:'. Select either 'Lock Rotation' or 'Mute'. Your problem is solved!
