iPhone 4 5.0 Upgrade 3200 Error

I am trying to upgrade a vanilla iPhone 4 to the 5.0 software and the process works fine and after the backup and extraction, I get the 3200 error. Any help on solving for my Mac OS Lion?

I am using an iPad first generation and started the upgrade over an hour ago. It seems to have wiped out everything on the iPad and when I try to Restore as it tells me to do I get unknown error (1). I've retried many times and I guess I'll wait till tomorrow. I see some people solved their problem by retrying but it hasn't worked for me, yet. iTunes doesn't seem to know anything about the iPad, as if everything about it was wiped out. I'm scared!

i was getting the same error - not sure what fixed the situation but here is what I did:

go to software update and install all new software updates

shutdown

disconnect all USB devices other than your iPhone

restart

iTunes will then prompt for the iOS 5 upgrade - should be auto sensed, if not start iTunes

The upgrade should go smoothly at this point

A few items - none of my playlists were preserved once iOS 5 came up on my iPhone 4

I had to re-sync and select all my music

Too many issues so I did not try to move any content to iCloud

Wait for Apple to resolve the issues and bug fixes

On an original iPad WiFi 3g, it gets unknown error (1). I restarted, tried restore ten times, downloaded the OSX software, and it failed twice. I ran System Update and installed a new Safari 1.1 and some other thing that didn't seem related. It didn't help. Neither the regular restore nor the Option-Restore with the downloaded software fix the problem. I've been up all night and had no prior problems with the iPad. It is totally blanked out and non functional now. I don't know what to do next but go to sleep and hope there's a solution tomorrow.

Ok this is a temporary fix what I found out,



First download the iPhone Firmware from the following site, It is the official firmware and even downloads from Apple.


http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ - Choose your model, e.g iPhone 4


Now once that is downloaded go to the following folder -


C:\Users\YOURUSER\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates


Once you are they copy the file you just downloaded into it, then click Update. It will now skip the download process and will Update. I was having the same issue then I did this and its almost updated. Hope it helps
