Q: 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?

Error 3200 simply means that the server is overloaded bc everyone is trying to update at the same time

It's just a server overload issue. Just keep trying. Don't do anything drastic or silly to your device!

try turning off your firewall during install of the software. Had the same problem 1st time I tried, but after I turned off the firewall it worked.

Nice to see apple once again underestimate the consumer. They have been talking this up since May, and they still can't prepare themselves. Very impressive.

Same problem here with 16GB 3Gs updating from iTunes 10.5 on Win7 x64 PC. I guess I'll leave it a few nights till everyone has stopped hitting the server so hard...

All:

It is just how several folks have observed, i.e. a contention issue with the servers. It took me 8 tries on my iPad to get rid of the 3200 error, but it finally did it. The iPhone 4 went right through though. Hang in there.

Hey Guys
I had the same problem. Just called Apple and fixed there problem. On itunes go to edit, prefrences, devices, and find your device and delete the back up. then start the update over.
