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...

Hello, again everyone. I do not have a solution, but I felt obligated to muddy the waters even more. 😐 I removed my iPad as a device my Mac syncs with. This left only my iPhone 4 as a paired device and syncing worked fine. It worked just like it was supposed to. No error messages, no iPhone disappearing from device list in iTunes, etc. And then last night I synced my iPad again to my Mac. Guess what happened? That's right. All the problems returned

To fix a code, you have to admin an error. Can they really do this!


By reading this post, I note that almost everyone who got this problem have an iphone + ipad, both configured to sync in wi-fi. Exactly my situation (that's why I found that thread!) I really hope they will fix this soon, I am getting a lot of error popup every time I just want to listen to music from my itunes library.

I, like many of you, experience the same issue.. find this (or other) discussion thread... and now post about it. Is this the right forum?? Does anyone from Apple even read this stuff to see how dissatisfied their users are?? Is there a better place to post this??


Also, Apple should institute a 'Me Too' button so I/we don't have to sift through pages and pages of 'me too' responses hoping someone may have found an answer. And again, is this the right forum for this suggestion?


Here's to hoping that Apple does something... anything.
