For those who get the apple page not found-404.
Make sure you have the correct Itunes installed for the update or restore you are doing.
I updated to 4.3 today and also received the error but I needed to update ITUNES TO 10.2.1

Awesome Man!

I literally created an account to thank you.

I spent hours trying to figure out what was wrong and why my computer wouldn't update my phone. This worked splendidly.

Thanks again!

On win7 you have to be the Adminsistrator that is disabled normally. A user that you've set to a Admin, does not have full privileges.

Worked after a 1013 trying update an iphone4 to 4.3

I also copied the host file to another location just in case.

When entered gs.apple.com in the browser was taken to tue cydia site. what's up with that?

After the editing the host file gs.apple.com taked me to a 404 on apple site.

I'm now restoring the back up with is a great news too. hope it goes well.

Thanks.... It saved my iPhone 4

Thank you tonyacos ... The procedure worked perfectly. All photos, etc ... are lost because it is restored to it's original state. But with the restore you can restore to a previous backup of your iPhone.

I tried it and it worked for me. I am so annoyed with apple every single day there seems to be a different problem.

Thanks Again

I have been a loyal user of Apple product since 1984. To Apple's defense I have to say that this type of bug only appeared, for me, when I upgraded my iPhone to version 4.2 and version 4.3. Otherwise, other than many features requests that I made, bugs are very, very, rare with Apple products when used properly and when following instructions.

Thanks tonyacos. Anyone who would like to do as tonyacos posted, please don't forget to restart your iTunes after editing the host file.
