Apple Releases iOS 5 with Notification Center, iMessage, Twitter, and More

If you get error 3200 it's because of the Apple verifications server being hammered, you just have to try over and over until it finally works.

Those of you getting the internal device error, I figured a way to get past it, or at least it worked for me on my iPhone 4.


It seems like there is a chance when you try to update or restore your iPhone that if the verifications servers are idling out on you (normally giving you error 3200) there is a chance that your phone get's stuck in an non-operational DFU / recovery status which you have to force it out of.

You can notice this if you iPhone's screen keeps being black, and every time you try to either update or restore your phone you get the internal device error.


In order to get out of this you have to force your phone back into regular DFU mode by holding down the power + home button for 15 seconds, then you release the power button while still holding down the home button and wait until you get the "connect to iTunes" screen on your phone then you can try restoring once again, and finally it all worked out for me!
 
Anyone know if putting the device into DFU mode would help? Does that enable OS updates?

I kept getting the 3200 error also.
I went into setting and on the Store app I signed out and now everything is fine.
TRY THAT.

This man has nailed it. It doesn't verify the update with Apple if you sign out beforehand.
 
I've got the internal error as well but I just noticed that I have 3 new software updates that weren't there yesterday and the apple help page says make sure your software is up to date, it was an iPhoto update, security update and something else. I am on the newest MacBookPro apple released a few months ago.

Hopefully this helps!
 
try this

1. turn on wifi
2. turn on airplane mode
3. turn off airplane mode
4. turn off wifi
 
It's come down here in Cyprus, I only got my iPad on saturday.

Can't wait it has 55mins to go

Yep, tried to update my iPad and after a very slow download, and an equally slow backup, the installation failed. At least it still works fine with the old iOS.

A tad disappointed, but hopefully Apple will get the bugs ironed out soon.

Same result here. I even restarted and did a repair permissions, thinking it was my machine. Apparently it's not. Glad to know it's an issue affecting many, but I'm not glad that it's happening in the first place.

If I update in DFU mode will I lose all my app data?
 
Is this "3200" error different from the "Internal error" error?

I just get an error message after the backup phase that says the phone could not be updated and that an internal error had occurred.

That's your issue, not a widespread one, and I've not had that happen on any of the Betas, let alone the GM.

Yeah right.

Amazingly, it happens on both my iPad2 and iPhone 4.

Wow, I must have the worst luck of any idevice user!

Man am I glad I updated to gm last week! Sounds like the servers are taking a battering!

For those of you on GM I just closed all apps via multitask menu and rebooted phone and news stand is now working fine. No ota updates yet but u suspect that is because that system is not yet live. No need to stress.

And to repeat, GM IS THE SAME AS TODAY'S PUBLIC RELEASE
 
Omg I am getting internal error for my iPad, too...
This is no way a rare case! Seems like many are getting this error... :(
 
LOL I just signed up here to...I signed out of the store and it's still giving me this stupid error!!!!! :eek:
 
I closed iTunes and then reopened. Got right in with my iPad 2. Coincidence? This was after 5-7 failed attempts
 
I had restored mine without backup, and so no chance of going back into OS.

I got all those messages, but when I went back into DFU it went through this time.
 
Problem FIXED!
I set my iPad on Airplane Mode and tried the update again... now it works like a charm :)

Those who are getting the internal error for iPad, try to put yours on Airplane Mode! :D

wow i was on my last attempt before giving up and trying later... and what do you know, it's restoring!!

i turned off all store settings: music, apps, books, and cellular. turned on and off both wifi and airplane... and that's it. :D
 
Guys, all this Airplane mode stuff is just pure coincidence. The servers are being killed.

I've had the errors for about an hour - Airplane mode on/off. I gave myself 5 minutes before I was going to give up and go to the gym...


...3 tries later, and my iPhone is updating!

Keep trying! :)

(no gym tonight :D)
