Damn it's on one of these threads but I've forgotten which one. I'll check.

It's on the who will be first to download ios5 thread. Rich posted error meanings.

I got themessage: ipad cannot be restored, an internal error occured. What should I do?

Look at the 'who will be first to download IOS5 thread. Richsadams has explained error codes. Try again or try later or tomorrow.

I think with so many people trying to download - the download has not completed correctly..

This is Richsadams suggestions

just got the error 'cannot update'. error code 3200 I was in the restore phase when it dumped


Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Be sure you've upgraded to iTunes 5.0

Some virus protection programs can interfere with updates. If you have virus protection try turning it off.

Generally restarting the process, disconnect your device, shut down iTunes, reconnect your device and click on "Check for Update" will work.

Me too. I guess it is just everyone is on line pushing max out of update servers...

I'm giving up. I'm just too tired. There's always another day.
