FabSwingers.com forum: A bad apple

Apple users have hit back after many encountered problems while trying to install the new iPhone iOS 5 software shortly after it launched last night.

Thousands of iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad and third and fourth generation iPod Touch users were left scratching their heads as error messages appeared on screens across the world, while others reported that the brand new update took too long to download.

‘Error 3200’ and 'Error 3004' were trending topics on Twitter last night as users were desperate to seek guidance from others while updating their devices with the latest software.

The error code appears during iOS 5 installation when a request for authorisation from an updating device fails to be fulfilled by Apple’s servers, according to the firm.

Apple said that the issue stemmed from the massive amount of simultaneous attempts from users trying to download the new software.

Apple users were quick to express their frustration at the botched download. One unnamed user posted on an Apple forum that it would take 37 hours to download the 637.3MB software.

“Steve Jobs has only been gone a few days and we are already experiencing the start of the techpocalypse,”

F.A.F.

Presumably the same fuckwits who stood outside Apple shops with wee candles burning in their screens will be heading back as an angry mob demanding customer satisfaction from a a global corporation who cares nothing for the technological problem on their device.

Hat to put it up as it had me almost pissing myself.

The funniest comment is the one saying that you can't really expect sheep to get it right lol

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else

Something else to note.

Compare media coverage of apple + blackberry's issues over the last couple of days. Which gets the easier, less critical, ride?

Ipad has (apparently) only just got a "proper" facebook app.

Blackberry get knocked for "lack of apps".

The lesson here is not to trust the media - there is ALWAYS spin.

Small piece of advice.

Never update your device blindly, always find out what the update will do for you and wait a while/month ? to see if it causes any problems

Its simple, let the first wave adopt these things and then once bugs are fixed then upgrade.

You mean you have never paid twice what something is worth just because it has an apple logo on it? You haven't lived!

When Apple develop a device small enough to fit into the small pocket in the front of my jeans but can project a 19" screen and a normal qwerty keyboard holographically, I'll but it, but until then I think I'll keep hold of my Cherry.
