iTunes 7.5 not recognizing iPhone

In my case this error [0xE8000001] never occurred before upgrading from iTunes for Windows 7.5 to 7.6 (and from iPhone software 1.1.2 to 1.1.3).

A complete uninstall and reinstall of all software does absoluely nothing save to reinstall buggy software that was obviously shoved out the door, inadequately tested, to coincide with MacWorld.

The only solution is to force the phone into recovery mode and restore. After half an hour, you synch one time. Then you do it all over again.

I am having the same problem. I had an 8gb iphone and then I purchased the 16gb iphone registered the phone via itunes and what was interesting is neither devices were recognized by itunes. Please help....

iPhone not recognized by iTunes on Windows computer, however your iPod will?

The iPhone CAMERA appears in windows My Computer - but nowhere else?

Apple really needs to put this solution up...

From Device Manager, Select the iPhone (under imaging/Portable Devices) and then select "Update Driver" (mine had a Microsoft Driver which enables the camera/storage, but did not allow it to connect with iTunes). Don't direct it to automatically search for a driver, instead, manually point it to search in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers - It should then "do it's thing" and install the correct apple driver - voila - iPhone is then recognized.

G-Man

Thank you. Solved my problem. New Iphone 16GB with Itunes 7.6.2.9.

I have been looking for this solution for HOURS and it worked. So I registered here just to reply to this so someone else could benefit. I tried reinstalling, didn't work. Made sure the services were started.. yes. It was showing up as a camera in vista and I updated it to that driver and worked like magic. Thanks!

Thanks for the tip. Worked like a charm.

likewise I'd like to thank you I've been tearing my hair out and it's with 7.7. the tip worked perfectly. As an additional bonus I had been unable to use 'files' app before this and it has solved that problem also.

thnaks again
