I was syncing my ipod touch with my brand new imac 24" but now i want to sync it with my g4 400 pci. i'm getting this error message! when i got my iphone, i had the same message but it went away. what can i do? i got a phone call from apple about this error back in july, HELP!

i Reset Network Settings on my ipod touch and i fixed it!

On an AGP G4 tower using a USB2 PCI card:

Reseting network settings, it resulted in nothing
Erasing everything and restoring the iPod to factory settings via the ipod itself, didn't help.

So far the only one of my Macs that can see the iPod touch is the 1Ghz iBook which has native USB2 ports and that is my unreliable machine thanks to a logic board issue Apple won't fix. All the other machines with USB2 I have can't see it despite running X.4.11 and the newest itunes. Those just give the 0xe8000025 code.

- Zero : you've been able to sync using your legacy mac with no native USB2?

I just brought home my iTouch today and on connecting it, got the very same error. Very disappointing. Didi I just buy a 400$ brick?

Its a software issue not a hardware issue.
Apple needs to patch a repair into iTunes to fix the problem

You people need to report your issue to get this done:

The correction is fairly simple. Shut itunes, disconnect iphone, start itunes and reconnect iphone.

It worked for me after the scare.

If it was that easy there wouldn't be 6+ pages on google about the error code.

that not the univeral solution, as I said its a software issue with iTunes knowing there's an ipod there but not wanting to mount it as a device. There is nothing simple about the bug.

I got this error when I had to restore my ipod and itunes couldn't connect it to reinstall the software. I forced my ipod to restore (again) and the message went away.

I don't know if there is an easier fix, there wasn't for me that i know of, but I was already restoring my ipod so it didn't matter.

I restarted, started iTunes with USB cord already connected. This didn't work.

When I unplugged the USB cord, restarted iTunes, and THEN plugged in the USB cord, everything was fine.

Let us know if this works for anyone else.

I have the same problem my iBook went down last week due to that logicboard faliure so now I gotta sync with my AGP PowerMac overclocked to 533(the iPhone has a more powerfull CPU than my machine).
I have a USB 2.0 card in there that somehow works but was never intended for macs, and it will actually charge the iPhone untill the error occurs, then even unplug/replug doesn't charge it.
Syncing with my MacBook works fine but I got all my music on in my PowerMac.
Why is the only suport document from Apple for windo users?
