iTunes to iPhone "Unknown error 0xE800007F"

The solution is to;

Turn off WiFi sync (it doesn't work)

Turn off iTunes match (it doesn't work)

Turn off Photostream (it doesn't work)

then all the problems go away.

I'm just glad I'm not the only one and surprised the issue has been around for so ling without a proper solution.

I still have this issue with my iPhone 3GS, my wife's iPhone 4 and my iPad 2. Very frustrating.

Hi everyboddy. I'd just like to remember to click the "I have this question too" link on the bottom of the very firt entry in this thred if you have this issue too.

I would like to add my voice to the list of those with problems.

My experience is that:

(1) the "sync when charging" is usually when it fails.

(2) once it fails, iTunes/pc needs restarting to return to normal.

(3) syncing manually through the phone menu item works unless iTunes has previously errored.

Hoping for a fix one day...I have a media center pc with iTunes always running downloading my podcasts. It would be nice if this actually worked.

Someone's *fixed* this over in the iTunes for Windows forum: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3399156?answerId=18323814022#18323814022

Really just a workaround, but this little script just closes the error message box when it appears.

Anyone handy enough with Apple Script, etc. to re-code for us?

Not sure if I'm the only one but the latest iTunes release - 10.6.3.25 - just may have solved this issue for me. No more 7F error in 2 days straight. I hope I'm not speaking too soon though.

I don't recall seeing anything specifically related to this error in the release notes, so could it be Apple just ninja-fixed this annoying issue?

@globalist

Same here - since upgrading (36-48 hours ago) I can't remember seeing this error at all, and have had iTunes running for most of that time, with iPhone undocked, and docked for 3-4 hours of it split.

I'm hoping I'm not speaking too soon, but looking good so far!

You do NOT need to reset your iPhone (which is what the video link posted by @MarkkH tells you to do).

Just update iTunes and the problem is fixed.

Yeah... No.

Do not follow this joker. Having watched that video, apart from the fact he is telling you incorrect information, he is also really bad and telling you it.

Just update iTunes, case closed. Apple fixed the bug

The latest update did not fix my problem.

Do you have both iTunes 10.6.3 with iOS 5.1.1 (9B206). There are fixes in both to completley solve problem.

[citation needed] how do you know this?

I haven't had the error in a while, but that could be because I have stopped caring about syncing lately.

Does the "fix" just disable automatic syncing? I don't remember the last time I saw the little logo.

When I updated to 10.6.3 it fixed my problem.

I then tried to use 10.6.3 to fix the other employees having same problem.

In the ones that had iOS 5.1.1 problem went away.

Other people without iOS 5.1.1 error continued.

Once we update remaing users to iOS 5.1.1 their problem went away also.

Would have been nice for Apple support to say that they worked on a fix but you need a combonation of update to correct problem.
