ITunes and iPhone Connection Error

"iTunes could not connect to the iPhone 'iPhone' because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000001)."
What's this all about?
I was 18th in line in Melbourne, Australia, now I want to get my music and podcasts onto it, help please.

I have had reasonable success with the AppleCare phone service in the past. They replaced an iPod that was giving me trouble. Service was very quick. Might be worth a try before making a trip.
Here is the contact info.
To get technical support over the phone, please call 0870 876 0753 (UK) or 1850 946 191 (Ireland). Lines are open Monday-Friday 0800-1945 and Saturday 1000-1745. If your product is within its 90-day complimentary support period or covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, you will not have to pay for the support. Otherwise, you may purchase per-incident support for £35 (UK) or €49 (Ireland).
Good luck.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Problem with syncing iPod ... Itunes and windows show errors... itunes 7...

    hey guys... since I upgraded to itunes7 my ipod (4th gen click wheel) doesnt sync poperly! it all began when I was syncing the ipod and my screen just froze a few secs after connecing the ipod! I had to restart the computer and reset my ipod... from that time had alot of trouble!
    first the screen froze immediately when I connected my ipod with the pc and later when i had formatted it with windows several times and resetted it a million times with itunes7, itunes and windows show errors (error (-124) while syncing and everything stops! I've just spent nearly two nights on that and really hope that my ipod didn't break just because of itunes7! to stay in proper english and not get that angry in letters that I am in mind--- please so help me... my ipod is everything and im a music junkey! by the way... itunes itself works perfectly... if i not sync! how peculiar that getting back to itunes6 is impossible...i tried it... does it hav a spec reason, hah!
    IBM, Pentium3 (666MHZ), FW(desire to fire), Ipod Click Wheel   Windows XP   30cm

    I tried formatting the ipod with windows! in the end of it windows says that it was not able to format the drive properly. then I click ok, open itunes, restore the ipod, try to sync again and have the problem that after a while the whole thing freezes... no more errors....just from the moment i disconnect the ipod manually from the cable, everything gets back to normal life again! I do not know what to do! do you guys think, my computer is too old or maybe my ipod's broke???
    I'm despairing people...never had problems like that until itunes7! I tried as well to close all the other working programs with the task manager... doesn't change it!
    Thx for the help!

  • Synching calendars between itunes and iphone 5 no longer works.

    Syncing calendars between itunes and iphone 5 no longer works.  I do not get any errors, however calendar items are not updated. 
    I am syncing via USB on a Windows 8 computer.  It worked a couple of weeks ago.  Since then itunes has had its weekly update, my IOS may have been updated, and I've run a malware removal program on my computer. I curently have iTunes 11.1.3.8  and iOS 7.0.4.  I read the posts and verified ICloud was turned off. 
    I really need to be able to sync my computer and iphone again.  Any suggestions?

    So you'll either need to attempt further repair yourself or take the iPhone to some unauthorized repair shop, pay them, and hope they fix it correctly.
    The iPhone 5 has no Touch ID, and an iPhone 5S should still be under warranty, so I'm puzzled as to what you really have and were attempting. If you do have a 5S, why you didn't get it serviced under warranty?
    Regards.

  • Moving iTunes and iPhone from an old PC to a new MacBook Pro

    Hi, I am having some real problems. I have recently bought a new Macbook Pro to replace my old Windows PC. I am having no trouble moving all of documents and music from the old PC however I am completely stuck for what to do in transferring my iTunes and iPhone 4 content AND information onto the new itunes. I have consolidated the music files on the old pc but havent copied anything yet.
    What I am looking to do is to be able to sync the iPhone to the new Mac without any of the information on the iphone being erased. Is this possible without having to pay for third party software? I have a WiFi network which both of the computers are connected to. I am also able to use an external harddrive.
    I have already transferred the purchases from my account onto the new mac but a lot off my music isnt from the itunes store but is from various CD's.
    I am really lost on what to do and I am even considering writing down all my contacts, lol. However, i do have all of my current iPhone info such as contacts and calender sync'd with iCloud if this helps.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Matt

  • Trying to sync with iTunes and iPhone

    Hi PreParrott,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you are receiving an alert that your iPhone cannot be synced because it cannot be read or written to. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the attached article and working through the troubleshooting steps suggested within it.

  • Itunes and iphone(the old one!)

    hi there, i see from forums that there has been a lot of relationship problems with itunes and iphone. Mines is a wee bit different.
    I've purchased loads of songs on the itunes store through my iphone before and has only stopped working recently. The green box which usually says 'buy now' has disappeared and the songs all say they last for 0:00 minutes. I've tried syncing my iphone on the computer and signing out of my itunes account and signing back in again(while the iphone has been connected to itunes) but it's still not working!
    i thought i'd try purchasing from the itunes store on the computer to see if it works there and it does. It's only from my iphone that it doesn't.
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks! xxxxx

    yea, i just tried that but it's still not working. i've realised now though that it won't let me play the songs, you know just to hear the snippet bit, so that's probably why they all say 0:00 mins. i'll have another foodle about with it and see but if you come up with any other ideas, i'd love to hear them!
    thanks! xxxx

  • I recently changed my email address and need to change my icloud account both on my itunes and iphone. how do I do this without completely wiping the phone?

    I recently changed my email address and need to change my icloud account on both my itunes and iphone. How do I do this without completely wiping the phone.
    Also I tried to update to iOS6 and it is asking for my password under my old signin and locked me out of my phone.
    What can I do?
    Thanks

    This explains how to change your ID: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621.  After changing your ID you will need to go to Settings>iCloud, delete the existing account (which only deletes it from your device, not from iCloud), then sign back in with the new ID.  To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll before deleting the existing account.
    If you are signed into your account on your Mac, you will need to go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

  • I have an old app in my updates but no longer have the app on iTunes and iPhone 4s. How can i remove it?

    I have an old app in my updates but no longer have the app on iTunes and iPhone 4s. How can i remove it? It is beyond annoying, as it constantly has the badge noticfication but can't update the app as it is no longer avaliable. Help!!!

    Unfortunately the app isn't avaliable in the Australian store only avaliable to download in the UK store, very confussing as it is definitely not in my iTunes or on my iPhone. I don't understand how or why it managed to get to updates. I just want to delete it or at least get rid of the notification badge for it.
