ITunes Error 3194 for my iPod Touch?

So I repeatedly tried to update my 4th Gen iPod to iOS 5 to no avail so I started searching ways to do it because every time I tried to update I would get iTunes Error 3194 "iPod could not be restored". I put my device into DFU mode like the guide suggested and then tried to hit restore on iTunes to automatically update it, however, it keeps giving me the same error! Now my iPod won't do anything and I have no idea how do fix it. I do have the latest verison of iTunes Advice? Thanks

Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.

If that doe not work look at other posts with the same 3194 problem. Look for ones with a green checkmark since those have been solved.
