Error 3200
For your information
The most prevalent problem when upgrading to iOS 5 is Error 3200. Apples service reps are telling multiple users that this error is something theyre working on, and add that there is nothing users can do to change that error code.
The problem is occurring because there are too many people trying to access Apples servers at the same time. The reps say the problems should subside in a few hours.
The problem starts when your device tries to contact Apple servers for authorization. When the servers were slammed the hardest, many of the requests were not being fulfilled. As a result, many users are reporting trying over again, where the Error 3200 mysteriously disappears.
So one way to solve the problem is just to keep trying. Since Apples servers are said to only be fulfilling about half the requests, you can easily win the coin-flip and get authorization.

No error here...just pissed that it doesnt allow me to place "Reminders" and "Newstand" in a folder.
That did it!!!! tried 100 times with no luck, copied it there and it's off and running!
Hmm, that step is trying to talk to apples server(s). It should have popped a 3200 by now...
Weird, I can put Reminders in a folder on my iPad.
As for Newsstand, I think the reason you can't move it to a folder is that it IS a folder, of sorts.
my iPhone lost all it's data and whenever I try and restore it from a backup it gives me error (-50) instantly.
Anyone else have this issue or a way to fix it?

If you can't put reminders in a folder, try restarting your device. Newsstand won't go into a folder, but reminders will.
kept trying
kept on trying.. closed iTunes.. reopened.. on fourth try.. started downloading.
Don't get mad, you're not the only one trying to download this thing. Be patient dude. Your iPhone will get version 5 soon!
Note: I have often met people who believe that by flashing your car's lights you can get a red light to turn green. In reality traffic lights are triggered by magnets under the road. Don't be fooled, just be patient and try again.

This worked for me, in the first try!
Even with iTunes open, go to Windows Explorer, type %AppData% in the URL and navigate to something like:
C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates\
Put the ipsw file there and thats it. Click on Update and it just work!!!
My iPod is restarting right now in iOS5.
Many thanks for sharing!

so my iPad was updated when I walked in the door. hooked up my 3GS, that took roughly an hour to update, ATV2 updated in approx. 10-15 minutes. all is up and running. only thing i can see that isn't working is the new airport utility app that's in the app store. anyone else having issues finding your AWEB?
Airplane Mode
Hey, everyone, thanks for all the input here (as usual). I wanted to post that my first iPhone (mine) is over the 3200 error hump after switching to Airplane mode before the update. Now, time for the wife's. As stated, this is probably coincidence, but I wanted to post for feedback. Been a long afternoon . . .

Works fine (for reminders). That said, I cant see the big draw to "Reminders" without Siri on my iPad 2.
To Easily Update to IOS5
This may take a little longer than you want. However, if you visit this website http://jailbreakappleios.com/download-ios-5-final-ipsw-files-for-iphone-ipod-touch-and-ipad/
and download the firmware for YOUR PHONE from here and then First let your phone backup and then restore your phone using the downloaded firmware. Considering that your phone has to be restored anyways for the update when your phone finishes it can restore from a backup and put all your settings back and your songs and all the unnecessary apps you have ect.

I had to endure a complete factory restore and after that iTunes took me though a backup which must have been from an earlier sync. In any case, it seems that most things (all?) are back to their original places and I'm now running iOS 5.

I just gave up and unplugged it after nearly 7 hours of it saying it was verifying. What a BS process.
Finely mission accomplished

My experience updating in Australia:
5:30am - woke up, started the update.
7:30am - download finished.
7:35am - attempted to install the software on my phone at least 10 times. Continued to get the 3200 error at various stages of install.
8:00am - left for work with my phone still plugged in, no successful update.
9:15am - returned home to find error 3200 again.
9:40am - returned to work after starting the update process again.
11:30am - returned home to find error 3200 again.
11:35am - started having some success with the update. Finally extracted the software and began to install.
12:50pm - phone still restoring apps. Had to return to work.
3:30pm - return home. Restore still not complete.
3:35pm - gave up. Installed 10.7.2.
3:40pm - commencing restore from the point at which it was interrupted. Still not finished.
TBC
