"unknown error occured (0xE8000001)". HELP!!!

Hi,
I just got the iPod touch and it seems to have problems connecting to iTunes. The only screen I get is the one of the cable, with an arrow above it pointing toward the iTunes logo. When I try connecting I get the message that iTunes could not connect to iPod because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000001). Anyone know how to help? I've got the latest version of iTunes, I check all the connections, they're fine, I restarted my computer. Still the same problems. Thanks.

Does that include trying other computers?
You can sync your photos to apps on your computer without using iTunes.
Contacts should be synced with an app on your computer, but that does require iTunes. You can sync your contacts, notes, bookmarks, and calendars with MobileMe over the air, without iTunes.
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings will put you back in "scratch" condition, with the currently installed iOS.

    Error -1
    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • An unknown error occurred (13014) - help?

    Hi
    After a crash whilst syncing my 120 GB iPod Classic the other night (on a 1.25 GHz eMac running OS X 10.5.8) I now get a message saying 'The iPod 'Xxxxx' cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (13014).'.
    The iPod plays songs, scrobbles, syncs podcasts and allows songs to be transferred onto it - but Genius no longer works, and that was the main reason I bought a new 120 GB iPod instead of a 160 GB one.
    After Googling Apple's advice on what to do with that error code (which seems to be all about iPhones rather than iPods) I'm no closer to a solution, and am concerned a restore may be needed.
    I manually manage the iPod, due to my library being about 160 GB, so would love to know if there is either a way of fixing the error, or a way of setting the contents of the 'Pod as a playlist, or somesuch, so I can reset the iPod and just re-copy the tracks (about 107 GB worth) onto it simply, rather than having to manually select 18,000-odd songs.
    Is there a way I can do this, or some other solution to this problem?
    Thanks for reading.

    I'm having the same problem with my 160GB iPod. I haven't upgraded to Snow Leopard yet. I tried rebooting the computer, and tried updating iTunes. Neither worked -- still getting the message. I do have my iPod synced to iTunes but would like to avoid having to wipe the iPod & start over as it'll take forever given the size of my library. Anyone found a solution other than nuking the iPod?

  • HT201263 iPhone 4 is in recovery mode but iTunes can not restore it.. Says unknown error occurred  (21) HELP!

    I've just got back of holiday and while there my phone decided to turn itself off, it would not come back on unless I plugged it into the wall charger, it said that I had to connect it to iTunes, but being on holiday I couldn't.
    So when I got home yesterday I plugged it into my laptop and the Apple logo came on, and then went off again, then back on and off again, it was doing this untill I unplugged it. So I put it into recovery mode and it said Connect to iTunes, so I did. It then said that the phone needed to be restored, iTunes started this process, 'extracting software' it said, and then once that was done it said 'preparing iPhone for restore' but then my phone disconnects itself from the laptop and then connects again then disconnects again. Then iTunes comes up with a message saying 'iTunes can not restore this iPhone 'iPhone', a unkown error occured (21)'
    I have tried over and over again to try and do this but it keeps coming up with the same.
    Does anyone know what's wrong with my iPhone and how I can fix it?
    Thanks

    And what did the error message say?

  • ITunes could not connect to this iPod because an unknown error occurred

    Just had a hard drive problem, no idea why, but the macbookpro hd just went boom and the volume directory was shot took it down to the apple store and they re-installed everything.
    tried to connect my iTouch and I get the error iTunes could not connect to this iPod because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000001)...
    plus the iTouch does not show up on any of our 5 macs and gives the same error, but never did before.

    Hope that solves your problem.
