Error 0xE8000065

I had this exact problem. I have an original iPhone, plugged directly to my Power Mac. I installed the update (with the latest version of iTunes), and I got bricked! My phone was stuck on the connect to iTunes screen and iTunes wouldn't even recognize it. I tried several things I found all over the internet, including in these forums. After talking with a programmer friend, I went to the AT&T store to see about getting a new SIM card. That didn't work, so I made an appointment at the Apple store, thinking that surely, they'd just try to sell me a new iPhone. One of the first things the guy told me was that he probably wouldn't be able to do anything and that it would cost $200 for a replacement... which is silly since the new ones only cost $99, but I digress. So, he connected it to his computer, and voila! it worked again! I took it home, connected to my Power Mac once again, and restored my old data. I wish I could tell you the reasons why this worked for me, but I really have no idea. Good luck everyone! This is an incredibly frustrating ordeal!

I had this problem and found that in my case it can be avoided by closing down the Lavasoft Firewall that I run on Windows Vista.

I have tried setting up the firewall so that iTunes is allowed to do anything. That doesn't solve it, so I guess it's some other background process that iTunes uses.

I'll be getting in touch with Lavasoft.

Hi ninintothevoid

I am suffering the same sort of fate with my new ipod touch on vista. I also cannot use my digital camera.
You mention the c state in bios but tbh im a bit computer illiterate. How do i find this??

Thanks

UPDATING THE BIOS WORKED!

My issue was with my new Intel Motherboard (DP55WB) that came with my equally new Intel Core i7 860. The iPhone and the computer would not 'see' each other and the 'Error 0xE8000065' was the most common of several error messages. I can't speak for MAC users but updating the BIOS WORKED! I got it here:

What also worked prior to the freshly released update: The C-STATE toggle trick cited in other posts. But clearly the new BIOS is the long term and preferred solution

Finally--I can use ALL of my new Windows 7 machine. Whew!

Help! I went into my bios tonight and I don't have a setting for C-state. Does that mean I can't change it or what?

I'm running a Dell Inspiron:
Pentium(R) Dual Core CPU E5400@2.6GHz
32 bit Windows 7

Sorry the above should say E5300 not E5400!

Did you get yours fixed. I have been having the same problem with the same computer. I followed the directions about the C-State but cannot find it in my BIOS. I also have talked with Apple support for 4 straight hours and they couldn't fix it. Any help would be appreciated!

Last post on 1st page fixed me, P55 Mobo, I5 chip, C-State to enabled is the go.

Unfortunately we can't blame apple for this one, it's the fault of the mobo design or the manufacturer.

were you able to get this working ??? i have the same kind of mobo.. its a Gigabyte P55-UD4P.. I'm running i5 Intel also (win 7 x64).. Please email me back if you've found a solution, I will GREATLY appreciate it!... Thanks!

I may have found a solution for anyone who may fit this description:

Gigabyte P55-UD4P (or similar motherboard)
Intel i5
Windows 7 x64
iTunes 9.0.2

I read every single post and have been trying constantly for an hour+ to solve this problem and finally I have stumbled on a solution that is based on ninintothevoid's C-State solution for ASUS and Intel Motherboards..

1. Go into BIOS
2. MB Intelligent Tweaker
3. Advanced Frequency Settings
4. Advanced CPU Core Features
5. Enable C3/C6/C7 State Support
6. F10 (SAVE TO CMOS AND EXIT)
7. Ta-Da!

Please let me know if this helps anyone.. I hope it does!!!

I forgot the most important part... I have an iPhone 3G

I cmopletely concur with MeatPuppet. I've wasted hours trying to fix this same problem on my PC, and have found no solution. I don't want to buy and install a 2nd USB controller.

Downloading the Gear Software driver as Jason761 recommended did not work. I have not been able to sync my Iphone for weeks. Apple needs to solve this ASAP.

Sorry for the above, I just found pages 3-4 of this thread. Thanks to ninintothevoid and skarface666 (clear, explicit directions, THANKS!), I solved this problem as well! Thanks to those smarter than me able to figure this out. Note to the less technically knowledgeable: your computers BIOS are accessed via the spashscreen that comes on BEFORE windows loads. For me, I had to press DELETE at this point to get in to the menu options.

I STILL think, given the number of people experiencing this problem, Apple and/or Microsoft need to address the problem. It should be easy.

Thanks again to ninintothevoid and skarface666.

Does anyone have a fix for vista? I cant find the two fixes posted previously in my bios- think this is because of the windows we are using. Havent been able to sync any new music onto my ipod touch since i bought it!

My case:
iPod detected on connect, the "input name" screen is shown
(Ya I reseted my iPod in hope to "fix" the problem)
After pressing "Next" which sync suppose to start,
iTune halts and stop responding.

In Devices I think the iPod is listed as "Apple mobile device"

Enabled the C-states in BIOS is not working for me.
Updated BIOS (ver F4), not working neither.

GIGABYTE P55A-UD3 + Windows 7 64bit.
