The release of Apple's latest iPhone iOS 5 software has been met with widespread anger and frustration from users as the tech giant struggles to cope with massive demand.
'Error 3200' even became a trending topic on Twitter as users were repeatedly confronted with the message as they tried to download the free package of updates intended to bring older iPhones into line with the functions offered by the iPhone 4S.
What makes the glitch so unusual is that Apple rarely struggles to cope with demand for its services.Ironically, the inability of Apple's servers to cope may be due to the power of social networks to spread news of yesterday's release after 'Downloading iOS 5' became a trending topic.
While some are getting a non-discript internal error message, others are getting a slightly more detailed "Backup failed error 3200" error messages.
Internal error message from Apple:-
The end result means that updaters are unable to install the new update and start benefiting from the new features.
"The iPad "Stuart Miles's iPad" cannot be restored at this time because the iPad software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable".
According to the general consensus on the multiple forums talking about the problem, it really is just a case of keep trying and hoping that Apple's servers eventually get back on top of things.
