When I try to connect my iPhone to iTunes it comes up with the error code 0xE8000004
I have just finished restoring my iPhone 4 and upon trying to connect to iTunes to set the phone up I receive the following pop up message:
"The iPhone could not be activated because of an unknown error (0xE8000004). Please try again later"
I have tried switching the USB ports and even tried on another computer so I'm not sure what to do next.

Whenever I connect my iPhone to iTunes, it comes up with an error message
Okay so my brother received his new iPhone 5s a couple of weeks back and we share an iTunes account so I connected his iPhone to my macbook because his laptop has broken USB ports. Everything was fine and all, but I went to connect my phone to my MacBook this morning as I am expecting my upgrade in a couple of days so I wanted to restore it all. Except as soon as I connect my phone to my MacBook my iPhone goes crazy (I have the 4s), like I was taking the charger in and out incredibly quickly, and then iTunes comes up with the message "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected." and I have no idea what's happened or how to resolve it? I have updated my MacBook and my iTunes and reinstalled iTunes but no result, what can I do?

My iphone is no longer working I have black screen with a picture of the itunes logo and a USB cable. When I try to connect my iphone to itunes the device is not detected, can anyone help me? I desperatley need my phone back
I have had a 3GS for 2+ years. After upgrading to IOS 4 (now 4.3.5) I began having problems. In the past week, my screen went to the itunes logo and USB cable twice -- unprovoked -- just found it sitting there like that! I connected to itunes and it did restore from a backup but it is a major inconvenience. I am also searching for answers, but better back-up regularly!

My iPhone was stuck in a boot loop so I got it repaired and back to factory settings. However, when I try to activate my phone it comes up with an error message saying it cannot perform my activation at the moment and to try again later or to contact customer care. Could you please help me as to what to do. Thank you.
Where exactly did you get the phone? That's usually an indication that it was jailbroken or hacked to unlock it instead of having it unlocked through official means.

I was trying to update my music last night. But itunes told me it needed to be updates first. So I updated itunes, and my phone. But now when I connect my phone using the usb. It will not connect to itunes, all that comes up is a phone icon on my desk top(which doesn't allow me to do anything with) But when I connect an ipod it does connect to itune and I am abble to look at how much room is left, and the option to restore ect) . SO this tells me something is wrong with my phone it self. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem?
Thanks.

This is getting so frustrating, I last synced my iphone in september and it worked fine, as i've just imported a new cd I wanted to sync to get it on my phone - anybody help to get a more uptodate software on my iphone, please
iTunes runs on your computer, not your phone. Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer. If you're using a Mac, and running OS X 10.5, you will need to upgrade OS X first.

The following error message comes up every time I run the Itunes installer package.
"This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package."
I've tried several downloads, but they all end with the same error message.
I also resently had my hard drive cleared due to a virus, so possibly missing something?

A few months back I Dropped my iPhone 4 and I cracked my screen and now i cant unlock my phone due to touch screen not working plus there are blurred lines across the screen and I can't see anything that it displays.
Now when I try too connect my iPhone 4 to iTunes on my computer at home an error message comes up saying that I have to unlock my iPhone 4 for it to communicate to my device.
But the problem is that I can't unlock my iPhone 4 because I'm unable to see the key pad and my touch screen no longer responds when I touch it.
I just want to reset my iPhone 4 back to its Factory Settings & start all over from the beginning.
How can I unlock my iPhone 4 with iTunes on my computer or any other option you suggest me trying.
Thank you in advance,
SiHeroIf you have had a "local guy "repair your iphone you will not get any support from Apple for warranty OR post warranty
If Verizon return it to Apple it wil not be handled by Apple
If Verizon also use unauthorised repairers you may be lucky
(Apple do not sell parts to local guys or anyone else ) -
Every time I plug in my iPhone to my computer it opens up to my PC instead of iTunes. When I try to connect my phone to iTunes the device button doesn't appear. What do I do?
It is opening up your computer generally because there are photos in the camera roll to prompt you to import them to the computer as you would a digital camera.
To correct the issue with the iPhone not being recognized in iTunes, see this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 -

When i connected my Iphone to Itunes it started to update the software, and then said it's unable to update and to please restore it, now it wont "activate" and keeps saying "try again"
What iPhone do you have? You can check in settings>>general>> about.
If you have a 3G you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. The 3G is over 4 years old an was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You need the latest ios to run the latest versions of some apps. If you have a 3GS you can update.
If your phone is not responding, reset it by pressing and holding down both the home button ad lock/ sleep button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. -
I just got an iPad mini, when I try to upload my iPhone backup from my Mac i get the message to upgrade my iTunes. I can not seen to find where the download link is for iPads on apple website. Can anyone help?
The message is referring to iTunes on your computer, not the iPad : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
The built-in apps on the iPad can only be updated via iOS updates, so if your iPad mini is on iOS 6.0.2 then its up-to-date
