How to upgrade to iOS5 without issues

Looks like lot of people are having iOS5 update issues, some are complaining about Error 3200 during update and some are saying Apps/Data is not restored after update, This instructions below I used, if followed should solve both the issues:

Make sure you have iTunes 10.5 installed on your computer
Connect iOS device via USB
Sync your device to backup all apps and data.
In iTunes, select your device and click “Check for updates”
Select, Download and Install
(If you get Error 3200, restart your computer and update again)
When device is restarting or after restarting wait patiently and do not try to mess with your iOS device
iTunes will have a popup “Restoring Apps…”, the device will NOT say syncing in progress, so DONT play with the device until the Apps restore is done, it will probably take over an hour.
After ITunes popup “Restoring Apps…” is gone, it will start a sync with a sync icon spinning in iOS device top bar, wait until this completes
Now unlock the iOS device and go through the setup process prompts to complete location, iCloud, Find my Phone,… setups.
You are DONE.
