iOS 5 Update ‘3200 error’: Apple Servers Can’t Keep Up

Apple released its much anticipated iOS 5 firmware update today, and it appears the demand has overwhelmed Apple’s servers. Users attempting to update to iOS 5 have ran into the problem and it’s occurring worldwide.

I would advise users to hold off on updating and wait until demand tapers off. The ‘3200 error’ (or 3400, 3004, 3014 error) has resulted in people being unable to restore their iOS devices. So if you don’t want to end up with a temporary ‘bricked’ iPhone, I’d wait it out. It’ll save you some time in the long run.

How has today’s iOS 5 update gone for you?
