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).

ITunes could not connect to the iPhone because an unknown error occurred (OxE8000001)

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but I don't have the nerves to read through thousands of "I've got the same problem too" replies. I do not care whether anyone has the same problem. So if you don't have any solution do not post! I'm not being rude, I'd just keep this discussion as accessible for other readers as possible. Besides, shouting "me too" doesn't really help anyone. Thank you.
Here's my problem, I sync my iPhone via iTunes 10.5.2, which works fine but after a while it prompts with an error message "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an unknown error occurred (OxE8000001)". This error message will not disappear and I have to force shut-down iTunes. It works OK for a while after re-start but the error comes back after a while. It is a very annoying little problem because I was waiting for WIFI syncing for so long and now it doesn't work properly
Any ideas how to remedy this?

Did you try the solutions mentioned in this article? iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting

HT4528 I can't seem to sync my iPhone with iTunes. I keep getting this message: iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an error occurred while reading from this device. What can I do?

I can't seem to sync my iPhone to my computer; I keep getting this message: "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an error occurred while reading from this device." I get the same message with my iPad, even though they all share the same account. What can I do?

This could be caused by a USB connection issue. Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to the Mac using the USB cable it came with. Also, try disconnecting all other USB devices.
If you haven't already try resetting the iPhone by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see an Apple logo as described here:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743

Itunes could not connect to the iPhone "" because of an unknown error occur

New to iTunes and iPhone (3g 8gig black)...
Apple store was unable to activate the phone in the store...
I installed iTunes today 7.7.0.43 and plugged in phone and got the message:
itunes could not connect to the iPhone "" because of an unknown error occurred (0xE8000035).
Vista thinks I have a "Digital Still Camera" when i plug it in but the driver for the "Digital Still Camera" fails to install...
I rebooted the computer.
I restarted the iphone (Pushed top button then slide to power off and then pushed again to power on)
I reset the iphone (top and home button for 10-15 seconds till i saw apple logo)
any ideas?
ps - i tried calling 1-800-my-iphone but i was unable to get to a person - is their tech support always that crappy or just today since its launch day?

This may not make you feel any better, but it's not you, it's not your new phone, and it's not the way Apple normally works. It is extreme overload for today. I have one of the original iPhones, and today I tried to simply get the new software, and after all the download and firmware updating, I got the same message you did. It had persisted all day, and, I'm sorry to say, is likely to for the rest of the day. I'm on a Mac, so it's not a Vista thing, either. Other people I know who bought the new phone are also experiencing the same thing. Spread the word! Discourage anyone from upgrading today! Or they, too, will be WITHOUT A PHONE!!
Good luck to us all,

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. And then reboot your computer.
See if that fixes your problem.

Itunes could not connect to the iPhone "iPhone" because of an unknown error

Hello. I have a PowerBook G4 running OSX 10.5.5 867 MHz 640MB Memory. I have installed iTunes 8 and my library is kept on a separate Lacie External Hard Drive. When I connect the drive, Open iTunes and then plug in the iPhone G3 8G I receive the following message:
"itunes could not connect to the iPhone "iPhone" because of an unknown error occurred (0xE8000001)"
If someone can point me in the right direction to problem solve I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks

ITunes could not connect to the iPhone "iPhone" because the pairing record

I just bought an iPod, and at home it fails to work and sync up on my Mac G5, OS X 10.4.11
I get the red stop sign with an exclamation point come up with this statement of error:
"iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "iPhone" because the pairing record is missing."
I had that error a number of times, rebooted the iPhone, then now I consistently get this error:
iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "iPhone" because an unknown error occurred (0xE80000001)."
Does anybody have any clue what I might do? And yes, it is iTunes 8 that I have running.

Try disconnecting your phone from your computer, quit iTunes, connect you phone to your computer again, the re-launch iTunes.

TS1814 itunes could not connect to the iphone because the device timed out

itunes could not connect to the iphone because the device timed out

The soft boot (home button and power button) probably works.
I just did a hard boot by turning off power to my Ipad Air.
The device time out is a USB error from what I have read.
I am guessing the Ipad air has yet to recognize the type of USB port it is connected to over the usb cable.
Rebooting by soft reboot or a hard reboot causes it to sense the USB port and adapt accordingly.

Hi,
For no apparent reason my phone stopped working...so I did a reset and got the message 'Restore Needed'. I connected to iTunes and got this message: 'iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on your iPhone before it can be used with iTunes'.
The problem is, I can't enter my passcode because I'm not given that option on the iPhone. All I seem to be able to do is make an emergency call.
It's been working fine otherwise. Any suggestions?
This is the SECOND replacement iPhone I've had this week and I'm getting a bit fed up.
Thanks in advance for any help,

Are you referring to the 4 digit passcode needed to enter the phone and use it's features?
If so reboot your iPhone and enter the passcode to get it operational. Launch Image Capture on the Mac and connect the iPhone. Now you should be able to download the video files to wherever you want on your hard drive.

If you are using a USB hub, don't. Connect directly to the computer. Disconnect all other USB devices except for keyboard and mouse.

HT1212 iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "Rasmus's iPhone" because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPhone before it can be used with iTunes. - How do I do this?

iTunes could not connect to the iPhone “Rasmus's iPhone” because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPhone before it can be used with iTunes. - Why is that?

iTunes is asking you to provide the passcode that was created when the device was activated.
You are able to get around the passcode if you know the apple id login and password and are able to restore the device back to default settings.
See this article for further directions:

Place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod. For recovery mode see:
