iOS 5 Released

(Alternative title: ffffffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuu-)

iOS 5 just got released a couple of hours ago as intended.

My first impressions are OH WAIT I JUST TRIED TO UPDATE IT FOR 5 FUCKING TIMES NOW AND IT STILL FAILS WITH ERROR 3200.

So, this post is dedicated to Error 3200 which you get after watching the status bar slowly backing up your iPad/iPhone/iPod and updating it, just to fail in the end.

The reason and "workaround" is as stupid as obvious:
The Apple servers are currently at their limit and when finalizing the updateprocess, iTunes tries to verify data with Apple servers. If this fails, you get Error 3200.

Workaround: Try it again. (and again [and again])


UPDATE: Retrying is indeed the only way to bypass it. Took me 9 tries to finally get it updated.






"Apple - it just works"






Further impressions in the upcoming days.

  4. Had to lol at the quote... to be honest, I'm getting pretty sick of Apple's failures when it comes to updates.
