14 DAY TRIAL // Apple appears to be having some trouble sending the iOS 5 bits over to some customers’ computers as they attempt to update to the latest version of the mobile operating system.
The Internet is abuzz with complaints that iTunes is popping up an error dialog with the message “An internal error occurred (3200)” and Apple is failing to explain what the error is all about.
Some are seeing messages related to internal errors 3002 or Error 3004, as Sophos’ Graham Cluley notes.
The software security specialist appropriately points out that there is no real reason to be one of the first to update to a new OS if you’re concerned about security.
“And let's not forget, if there's an error 3200 you have to assume that there's at least another 3199 error messages waiting to show their face to some poor users at some point in the future,” Cluley writes.
Update: apparently, there's a fix available for those who encountered these errors.
