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?

Holy crap people. Get a grip.


Just wait until tomorrow. Or late tonight.


It's pretty well documented it's a server issue...and anything you are doing that makes yours work, is most likely coincidence.


We've become a society of immediate gratification - if we don't get it NOW it ****** us off.


Relax, go take a walk outside, do something productive. You'll get your update!!!

It could be coincidence but I tried everything under the sun to get my iPhone 4 to upgrade to iOS5. Probably retried 10 times since about 11am central today.


It dawned on me that this could be related to a network connectivity issue so I decided to use a LAN connection instead of trying this over my wifi network. Since wifi is inherently intermittent, I figured it couldn't hurt.


First attempt after using my LAN connection and it was successful!

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
