During iTunes restore: Could not connect to lockdown port. Error code 0xe8000065

I have been seeing the same error on multiple Windows 7 iTunes installations since the recent iOS 8.3 (and iTunes 12.1.2 update). During an attempt to restore a backup, the iPhone disconnected error appears in iTunes. Digging deeper into the logs, we see a USB connection error, and then a DLL loading error message (that may or may not be a red herring.)
Here is an anonymized log snippet:

Here are things I've tried, as recommended by this support page iOS: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting to a Windows PC - Apple Support
restarting the computer
uninstalling iTunes from the computer, reinstalling, rebooting
reset settings on the target iPhone
swapping out for a different usb cable
swapping out for a different usb port on the computer
renaming the iPhone (as another thread from a few years ago suggests)
I'm very hesitant to try a factory restore via iTunes if the device is reporting USB connection severing, since we may end up with a bigger issue, like half-installed iOS
Has anyone seen this error lately as well? I'd love to find some more possible solutions to try.

I did also just notice the excess backslash in this path. I'll do some experimenting to see if that makes any difference referencing a file in Windows 7 (OSX is usually very forgiving of that in my experience, so it could be nothing.)

I have completely disabled my iphone 3gs. It says "Iphone is diabled connect to itunes", but when I connect it to itunes, itunes says "could not connect because it is locked with a passcode you must enter your passcode on the iphone before it can be used.

My iphone 3gs will no longer let me try passcodes and it only says "Iphone is disabled connect to itunes" well, when I connect it to my laptop, itunes says "could not connect to phone because it is locked with a passcode. you must enter your passcode on the iPhone before it can be used with iTunes" Please help!!! I have tried resetting it and all the tricks I know. Nothing works. Thanks

I tried to restore my iPhone 4s through iTunes and received error message that Restore could not be completed due to error 2003. Phone now not recognized in iTunes, with repeated prompts to restore phone. Now phone w/screen with iTunes symbol and USB cord can't use. It appears the phone has been restored, but I cannot activate it.
I disabled my anti-software, iTunes and computer software (microsoft vista) are both up to date, I restarted the computer several times. My usb ports are working properly. I followed the troubleshooting suggestions from apple.

yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
no worries

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421
I created a new user account and iTunes opens fine...
Can anyone help.??

I too am having the same problem. I have followed the above advice - I followed this advice http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421 to no avail. For what it's worth, It appears to be isolated to my user account. I also tried uninstalling and deleting all apple software including the itunes folder in my music folder plus deleting the registry keys before reinstalling. I also tried to move th Genius files onto my desktop as per the above suggestions. Any advice?

Try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

The itunes application could not be opened. an unknown error occurred (1301

I launched iTunes 9.0.1 today and got this error:
"The itunes application could not be opened. an unknown error occurred (13014)"
An archived tip on the iTunes for Windows forum that suggested deleting the iTunes Library Genius.itdb. That didn't work, I also had to delete iTunes Library Extras.itdb. (For the record I renamed them instead of deleting, but the original post suggested deleting).
Anyway, I thought I'd pass that on in case anyone else experiences this problem.

I had the same error and I keep my iTune folder on an external drive due to size. I tried to create a sub-folder to temporarirly hold the itdb file(s) and give it a try. The system wouldn't let me create the folder, at which point I remembered I had left my mac on but unplugged to find the battery drained in the morning. Upon plugging it in, it came back but then told me I hadn't exjected my external disk. So, I figured there might be a correlation. I tried to eject the disk and it wouldn't let me though no programs were running. So, I went ahead an chose to "Force" the eject via the option it presented me. On the un/re-plugging the disk, I tried to created a subfolder and it worked. Before moving any files to it, I tried starting iTunes again and voila, it worked. So, I suspect the comment above about files being locked is what bit me. Hope this helps...

"the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in [name of iMovie file] could not be read or written (Error Code 26)

Hi all,
I have an iMovie project in iMovie HD 6.0.3. (Mac OS 10.5.8)
It plays, but I cannot copy the file (including saving it to a flash drive). I get either a message
"the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in [name of
iMovie file] could not be read or written (Error Code 26)" or the
message "A project file is missing. The file [name of the QuickTime
movie inside the project.dv] couldn't be opened and is being skipped."
This happened suddenly, I was able to save a backup version numerous
times while working on the project.
I followed some of Karl Petersen's advise on apple discussions. I opened
the package contents, and everything seems to be there. The source file
(original QuickTime movie) is there and can be opened and played. I
replaced the current project file with the backup in the package
contents, but that did not change anything. I was able to export the
movie timeline into a new project as a single clip, but would like to be
able to copy the current project.
Thanks for any ideas..

Make sure all drives are formatted as "Mac OS Extended". (Journalling preferred, but not necessary).

ITunes could not connect to the iPhone error 0xE8000025

When I try to connect my iPhone to iTunes, I get an error message that reads: "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "Jana's iPhone" because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000025)"
I read that having the apostrophe in my iPhone name may be causing the trouble, but since I can't see the iPhone in iTunes, I don't know how to change the name (if this is indeed the solution). I have iTunes version 7.4.2. However, photos that I have on my iPhone have been able to be downloaded into iPhoto (version 7.1).
In the past, I have connected my iPhone to another computer and been able to sync everything without trouble.

I got exactly the same problem last night. I tried a couple of things but I think this is what finally sorted it.
I unplugged the iPhone, then rebooted by PC. I then opened iTunes. I then connected my iPhone USB cable to a different port (it was connected via a hub - I chose a port directly on my PC, and not the one that the hub was connected to). I then connected my iPhone and I was rockin and rollin.
No problems since (fingers crossed).

According to the error message, it seems that you used certificate-based authentication methods and the non-domain computers has no Trusted Root Certificate for the CA that enrolled the certificate for the NPS.

"Could not connect to Bonjour: NSNetServices error-72000, domain 10

This is the message I get when attempting to login to iChat Bonjour services. Additionally, both my Airport Extreme and Express recently began blinking amber. I attempted both a soft reset/hard reset and reset the PRAM. None of this worked and now I have an inclination that it is Bonjour that is effecting the base stations. I am able to see both base stations in Airport Utility, but upon clicking one it will try to connect to the base station and configure it but it will spin forever. How do I fix Bonjour?

"Could not connect to internet." error with 2.2 update

Ok, I updated my iPhone to 2.2 this morning. Ever since then, my internet access has been extremely spotty, and slow if I can get it at all. This only happens over my 3G connection (WiFi is not affected), and was not an issue this morning on the 2.1 version of my phone. I've restarted and reset the phone to no avail.
Any help in resolving this would really be helpful!

Add me to the list of people with internet connection problem with 3G after updating to firmware 2.2. In safari, under 3G a website would just load forever, sometimes showing the "cannot contact server" message. Under Wi-Fi and Edge, everything works fine. I have a white 16gb iphone 3G. I also updated my wife's white 16gb iphone 3G to firmware 2.2, and her phone does not have the same internet connection problem under 3G, everything seems to be working fine so far. Also spoke with a friend who also has a white 16gb 3G iphone and still using firmware 2.1. He mentioned that he's also been seeing more the the "cannot contact server" message with his safari under 3G. Maybe this is a AT&T problem?
