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 thing happened to me. My wifi connection has been spotty so i reconnected to hard wire internet and made sure laptop connected to power. disconnect cords and reconnect and second time sync worke fine.


Also FYI had a problem with ipad when updating. It went to black screen/apple icon and loading symbol and stayed there for an hour. did hard reboot. (press both power and close buttons for 15 seconds) and then on re-trying sync it went okay.


Try both those and see if it clears up.

Oh, it is just a matter of time until is will start to give you trouble again, it hapenned to me . You can stop the processes and delete any folders you want but they will start again and be created again. There is a bug in iTunes that needs to be fixed by Apple, these proposals are welcomed but they are only short term fixes and patchwork


The good thing at least in my case is that I can still do wifi sync manually, so this issue is inconvenient but not a big deal. But a fix will make me very happy
