iTunes Error 3200 iPod, iPhone, Apple TV and iPad


The new iOS 5 for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad and iOS 4.4 for Apple TV came out yesterday. Everyone with an iOS device rush to get it making Apple server(downloads) slow. The flood also made some, a lot of people get an error when trying to update their iOS device.

I for example, was trying to update my Apple TV to 4.4 but i kept getting error 3200. I also tried to update using a PC but still the same problem. 

The way I solved this problem.was a few tricks. (I was using a mac)
Downlod TinyUmbrella Here.
Download iOS 5 or Apple TV Firmware Here

Open up TinyUmbrella and press Start the TSS Server.
Open up Terminal 
Type or copy and paste sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
Look for any line containing gs.apple.com and put a #  before the line. 
Save it as by pressing Option and O host.umbrella, yes to overwrite 
Save it again this time as host, yes to overwrite.
Open up iTunes and restore your iOS device (You can choose  the firmware by pressing Option and restore at the same time)

This made my Apple TV take longer to update but it updated successfully without any errors.
Hope this helps anyone.
