samethi g is happening to me… I have a 3g iphone everything worked fine befor I left the AT&T store but I desided to up date to 2.0.2 cuz the phone was running 2.0.0
The firmware was downloaded through iTunes that went fine… Then it started to update…the first part went by with no problem but when iTunes ejected the phone to restart it then tells me the error everyone is getting
My settings are all currect
SSL 3.0 and TSL 1.0 are both enabled
I have tried to restore over 3 times but I keep gettig the same error
I have found a kinda temp fix… Sync it to a diffrent computer…
I did on my friends mac and it works fine now
I know it is not the phone it is the computer or the iTunes software
I’m now haveing the same problem with my other iphone it sux and I want to fix it…
Iv been looking al over and can’t fix d any fixes…

Make sure you backup your CONTACT LIST before doing anything to your phone. Go to Start, —> accessorry—> address book…. leave it open. Then open ITUNES. Click on iphone, CONTACTS and sync it with windows address book. Your contacts should show up in the address book.

@ray:
I got that error the first hour I tried to update as well. My theory is that Apple might have made the update/download unavailable for a while to let everything catch up. I’m pretty sure they will re-publish it soon. I had to keep trying and it finally came back.

I’m done! Finally got updated. Thanks for the input Tom.
Now it’s time to see how this works with my Exchange server.

Yeah, I think it’s close. I got in and it’s currently trying to restore. Seems like it may take a while, but hopefully the end somewhat justifies the means.

I just tried and failed. I’m thinking it’s only a matter of time now. Hopefully within the hour.

I finally got mine 2.5G to activate through iTunes. After about 3 hours and a huge headache, I finally have a 2.0ed phone. It seems you just have to play a bit of Cupertino Roulette to get a spot on Apple’s servers.

tried all that stuff. No luck. It’s not the workstation, it’s the servers. They are getting taxed right now. I’m thinking you just got lucky.
With that said, maybe this means things are starting to slow down and we might have some luck soon. We’ll see.
