2. DSi with firmware 1.4
3. DS Lite or DS

If your 3DS has been updated to 2.1.0-4 E or 2.1.0-4 U, the DSTWO firmware update will not be able to complete on the 3DS. Similarly, if your DSi or DSi XL has a firmware higher than 1.4, such as 1.4.3E, it can't be updated either. Full setup guide is available here. 

However, this is not the end of the world.
