Error 0xE8000065

OK so I was on 2.2.1 on my iPhone with iTunes 8.1.1 and everything was ok. I updated to 8.2 and updated my iphone to 3.0. At first itunes displayed a message saying my iphone was detected but couldnt be identified properly and said to disconnect and reconnect. I did so and now it says "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000065). And everytime I unplug and reconnect iTunes displays this message, and sometimes it doesnt even recognize my iPhone. My pc recognizes the iPhone as a Camera(??) but iTunes does nothing... I also pluged my 1G iPod Touch and the same message is displayed... Can someone help??

Dell Latitude D510, Windows XP

Hey guys,

We had a similar problem with one of our company phones and fixed the error by doing the following:

1. Open the "Device Manager" on your computer

2. Uninstall "Apple iPhone"

3. Re-install iPhone by dis-connecting and then re-connecting the iPhone to the computer

4. Download latest version of Itunes

5. Open windows "Control Panel" > "Uninstall or Change a Program"

6. Uninstall Itunes from your computer

7. Make sure that the iPhone is plugged into the computer

8. Install Itunes using the latest version you downloaded earlier

Once Itunes has finished installing, make sure that you select "Start Itunes after closing installer" and your iPhone should then show up in Itunes with no error messages.

We know that this process may take some time, but hopefully it will work for you guys as well.


All the Best!
