iPhone cannot connect to itunes. Error 0xE8000065

I've been getting this error ever since the new itunes 9.0.1.8 update and/or new iPhone OS 3.1. I installed both of them around the same time. I've tried going back to the old itunes 8.2 but that didn't solve the problem. I tried uninstalling itunes and all it's services and drivers and my iPhone can connect just fine to my machine recognized by windows etc. And as soon as I install itunes the problem starts - reconnects every 5 secs, random error messages - the solution I've found to stop the reconnects is to disable apple mobile services.

Any thoughts or feedback on this? Anyone experiencing the same problem?

I am having the exact same issue. Did both of these updates last week when they came out and now when I plug it it keeps starting a sync and then quitting. Eventually, it gives up and I get the same error message you have.

So frustrated as I have bought music on my phone that I want to put on my Mac.

Apple please fix this!!

This is happening to me also. After installing Windows 7-64, the sync freezes after a couple of songs transfers. Tried everything imaginable: Itunes reinstall, execute with compability to VIsta, energy safe mode off to USB ports/hubs, cable change, restore Ipod. I have a Acer Aspire M3641, lastest ITunes version, latest software on Ipod. Please Microsoft, Apple, Intel, whoever, WAKE UP !!! Code 0xE8000065
