Apple iPhone 3GS iOS 5 update failed. The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (3200)

I’ve been running the iOS 5 update which is now available. Unfortunately after nearly an hour the update failed and I needed to start again. The message I received was something along the lines of Apple iPhone could not be restored at this time because server could not be contacted. I had to laugh. I always say to users to record the error message and I didn’t record the exact details to share with others. The following is the message when it occurred a second time.

I then ran the update again and whilst the backup process takes some time, at least the download wasn’t required again.

Then I received the error message The iPhone <my iphone> could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (3200).

Looks like this is going to be a long update.

I’m sharing this update experience because this is what happens in the real world. Often a task for a client which should take perhaps an hour, can balloon out. It isn’t the client’s fault. What I do undertake is I’ll do my best, no matter what it takes. So far this update has taken around two and a half hours, plus the previous time to update to iTunes 10.5 and still isn’t complete.

I suspect a potential issue will be the load on the Apple servers at this time may cause issues. For those not in a hurry to update, waiting until the load reduces is a good idea.

Back to the update.

iMessage is the interesting new feature of Apple's iOS 5

There are around 200 changes with the iOS 5 update and a couple caught my eye. The first will be iMessage. iMessage has the ability to reduce the cost of messaging other iPhone and Touch users which is good, but being limited to only Apple products means it won’t be as useful as it could be.

The other feature I’m interested in is the ability to create a keyboard shortcut for frequently used words. Now if that allows me to create a shortcut for my email addresses, that will be a handy addition.

What’s your favourite new feature?
