iTunes to iPhone "Unknown error 0xE800007F"

I have Wi-Fi Sync active and it works great unplugged from power -- but when I plug my phone into power and it starts syncing, iTunes says the following:


"iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE800007F)."


Searching gives me zilch. Anyone have an ideas? Everything is running the latest verison of iOS, etc., etc...

Same problem here, but it seems, it only affects my iPhone 4. neither my iPad (1st gen, wifi+3g) nor my iPod touch (4g) have this problem.

my equipment:

PC: Lenovo B570 Notebook

WiFi Card: Broadcom 802.11n

Wifi Router: Deutsche Telekom Speedport W723 V Type B (manufactured by arcadyan)

Wifi operating at 2.4 GHz, 802.11g, Channel 6

Operating System: Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 Bit, all updates installed

iTunes 10.5.2

iOS 5.0.1

local backups on iPhone und iPad, iCloud backups on iPod touch



steps taken:

complete clean new install of win 7 on another Pc with all updates and SP1, complete clean rstore of iPod to iOS 5.0.1 on that PC, connection PC-Router with Cat6 wired Ethernet: error persists

I have the same thing with iPhone4 but not with the iPad1. No auto synching though both are on the network. When I go to iTunes and synch, sometimes it does. Closing and opening iTunes sometimes helps. While I was told by an Apple support person iTunes doesn't have to be open to synch, I've never had a synch w/o iTunes being open.
