ITunes could not connect to this iPhone because of an unknown error occurred (0xE800007F)

iTunes to iPhone 4 wireless sync fails.  iTunes gives me this message:
iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because of anunknown error occurred (0xE800007F)
Windows 7 Pro - (Lastest & Greatest)
iPhone 4 - ios 5.0.1 (Lastest & Greatest)
iTunes 10.5.1.42 (Lastest & Greatest)
A Google search has found a number of other iPhone owners having the same problem, but no resolution.  Anyone have a fix for this issue?

Hi Annette, i think itunes keeps booting itself because either your ipad or iphone or ipod touch has 'Open iTunes when this ##### is connected' selected in its properties.
to fix, connect whichever device you have to itunes using a cable, select the device in the left colmn and under the 'Summary' tab, deselect 'Open iTunes when this #### is connected'
This was doing the same thing to me. drove me mad.
I too am also having the same issue as the original poster with the cant connect message.

Louis

  • 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,
    Shelley

    Never experienced this before, but I've been having this issue constantly since installing iTunes 10.5 and iOS5.  I get this error when my iPhone is on the same network, but not attached via USB.  My iPad communicates and syncs with iTunes just fine.
    When the iPhone is connected via USB, the error doesn't occur.  I'm not even trying to sync with my iPhone when I get this error - iTunes just sees it on the network and gives me this error.  Sometimes I have to close multiple instances of this error - up to 20 instances at times.
    Thoughts?

    tried uninstalling itunes and restarting reinstalling, didnt change problem.

    The article may not explicitly mention the error code but it does say +the error may be the same as above but end with a different number+. I've now found a forum on another site (http://forum.upsb.info/showthread.php?t=2813&page=2&s=f1904afbf5d4475d933fabcb9b 022f7e last post) that says :
    1, Go to the folder C:/Program Data/Apple/Lockdown (in Vista or 7)
    2, Delete SystemConfiguration (system file)
    As I havn't had the error I don't know whether the above fixes it - and if you try it I'd suggest taking a backup or renaming the file, not deleting it, in case it doesn't work and you want to restore the file.

  • ITunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE80007F)

    Recieved this error while syncing the IPod classic, however, the IPhone was not connected to the computer, was no where near the computer.
    In addition, I had earlier in the day the following error message as well: ITunes could not connect to the IPone "Merci's IPone" because an invalid response was received from the device."  In this situation, again the IPod classic was syncying music, and the phone was not even in the house.
    The day previously, I had the following error as well: ITunes could not connect to the IPone because of unknown error occurred (0XE80002D). 
    When I called Apple Support, the first person could not find a response or answer to fix or give a reason why this is happening, since he said the last error is normally resulting from when the cable has a connection problem; well the IPhone was never connected to the computer--the IPod Classic was during these incidents.  When a senior advisor came on line, he wanted me to reboot my computer, but I was still in the middle of the IPod Sync of music so that could not happen. Which his answer was, well then call back and talk with a apple support person when it completes--my thought was if the first person couldn't figure it out and required a senior advisor, what is going to happen when I call back--I repeat myself and wait and repeat myself again to another senior advisor and then do some archaic steps to discover they don't know what is wrong?  I am waiting on a few other problems they haven't figured out yet. I am a new Apple user and have had nothing but problems with Apple IPhone, IPad and guess IPod Classic all which I purchased with high recommendations that Apple is better than windows products and Android products.  I am wondering what the **** I got myself into?
    Can anyone help me? It is getting frustrating that Apple can not seem to help with any of the situations I seem to be having!
    Thanks in advance.

    I have had this same issue with my iPhone 4 since iOS 5 was released.  None of the updates has fixed it yet. I'm using Windows 7 Pro (64 bit), and iTunes 10.5.3   I am not encrypting my backups.  I do have my phone set to passcode lock after 1 hour.  When I have enabled WiFi sync in iTunes, I get the error message described in this thread at least once every day.  In the morning, when I first open iTunes, I will have to click this window sometimes 8 to 10 times to get it to finally dismiss and begin the sync process. 
    It's apparent that iTunes is hung up whenever this message is present.  It's not downloading podcasts during the night, or performing the WiFi sync while my phone is charging in the other room.  Nothing works until I sit in front of iTunes and click off the error message.  If I am required to do that in order to get the phone to update, I should just plug it in and disable the WiFi sync hassles until/if it ever gets fixed.

    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 this iPhone.....

    This error message appears on a regular basis:
    iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE800007F).
    And my iPhone 4S rarely syncs over wifi, even when plugged in with A/C power adapter.

    I I have just tried stopping my AVG anti-virus software, stopping iTunes, then removed the iPhone drivers, re-booting my system with all the AVG services disabled, then pluging the iPhone back in to the system to allow the drivers to install without AVG.
    Will see if this helps.
    Rather than un-installing and re-installing iTunes, just open the Task Manager and select the Process tab. Stop the ATH.exe process.
    Plug your iPhone back in and iTunes will recognize the phone.
