Trying to update iPhone 3GS to iOS5 = "Could not restore iPhone, internal error"
Trying to merge MobileMe account to iCloud = "Please Try Again Later. We are unable to move your account at this time"
Trying to update Apple TV 2 = "The update was not successful"

Anyone else getting any of these problems? I have tried restarting all devices. nothing is working...

With the first problem you need to Back Up your iPhone. Then click restore instead of Update. Once iOS 5 is installed then restore from your back up.

A friend getting the same internal error message while updating his iPad. He's really frustrated. Solutions?
