iTunes to iPhone "Unknown error 0xE800007F"

I think I might have a workaround.

If you set your mac or windows pc to never sleep and power off the monitor you should be able to wifi sync with no problems. You will use a little more power by leaving it on but it should solve the errors. Just turn on the monitor when you are going to work on your Mac or PC and your good to go.

Make sure iTunes is open, it can be minimized. Check the top two boxes for open itunes , wifi sync.

Waking sleeping Mac or PC seems to give me the errors, everything else works

Good Luck!

I just sent them a link to this entire thread.

I just posted feedback on http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html asking them to read this post.

But this Apple. Unless they have a PR event planned for something they just stick their head in the sand and hopes it goes away.

Thanks iamSteveJobs

This might actually be a workable work-a-round while we wait for a "new feature" that fixes this :-)

My machine is always on and it does this, so I think you'll soon discover it's not a sleep mode thing. However, it may be related to the reuse of broken connections, which may be exacerbated by a machine that sleeps, so you may get fewer if you don't sleep your machine.

I tried: run as administrator. did not work. I also never shut down or suspend my pc. So it did not solved. I have this trouble with my iphone, not my ipad. So, I will try: always leave the iphone at home. Never leave the wi-fi zone. ... It looks like itunes does not understand that a wi-fi enabled sync device can leave the wifi zone and become unreachable.

Nope, the workaround does not work for me.

Sleep set to "never" (I had to go and check to be 100% sure).

Thanks anyway iamSteveJobs,at least someone is trying....

Seems like Apple support for their products is non-existent unless you pay for an Apple Care program. This stuff already has a price premium and they can't be bothered to provide more than 90 days of phone support for free? How about some email support options?

This issue, along with the Photo editing problems (can't edit pictures from iPhone in Windows, except via paint and then resaving) does not appear any closer to resolution than last year when the thread got started.

Just wish Apple acted like the cared about the fact that their products DO in fact not work properly from time to time.

see below

Check out TS3221.... reboot, update os, and other ms updates. It's a weird one.

that's at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3221?viewlocale=ja_JP%EF%BB%BF

Really? This is not a "weird one", it's a "let's hope you are stupid" one.

Uninstall / reinstall, stop some services / restart your PC.

Oldest vendor trick in the book when they have no clue, is "install all updates". Show me the bug report that is solved by patch a or b c, and I might bite.

Insulting Apple, VERY insulting.

I read TS3221 and it references connecting via USB no mention of wifi sync.

Indeed.

But the article was last modified just recently (Feb 13 2012) so one has to wonder just what the F they modified if it doesn't mention this specific error. The article also looks exactly the same to me as when I first cheked it back in 2011 - I don't see anything new in it, just the same general BS that doesn't solve anything.

Yes, just happened to me too. I'm surprised they haven't fixed this yet 4 months on. Connects fine to my Macbook Pro via usb but refuses to see it now on wi-fi.

Apple states iPhone must be plugged in to power and connected to wifi.

Defeats the purpose of "wireless" since you might as well plug into computer for power
