How to Fix the iOS 5 Update Error 3200
Update: Looks like the
workaround doesn't offer a fix for everyone. This will speed up your
download of the IPSW to your computer. But you may still run into
authentication issues while Apple's servers are being hammered. Looks
like our original advice to be patient is still valid.
Good
news everyone. If you're experiencing the horror of Error 3200 instead
of dancing in the technological flowers of iOS 5, there's a workaround
discovered by GDGT users.
It's
as simple as downloading the iOS 5 IPSW (iPhoneSoftware) for your
device directly from Apple instead of downloading it from within iTunes.
The
IPSW is the file that contains the operating system for iPhones, iPads
and the iPod touch. After you've downloaded the appropriate file from
the list below, here's how to update your device.
Plug
in your device and Option+click on the Check for Update button in
iTunes. If you want to wipe your device and do a clean install, you can
Option+click on Restore.
A window will pop up, navigate to the IPSW you downloaded and select it. That's it, your device should begin to update.
Here are the iOS 5 IPSW files for each device.
