unknown error (0xE8000012)

Reboot computer. Try different USB Port. Try different USB Cable.

I am having the same issue, only with my iPad. I tried all of the fixes you mentioned.

It seems to have started after upgrading to iOS 5.1.1 (but may have been present before this). It connects to my desktop computer just fine, but won't connect to my laptop. I have tried different usb ports and different cables.

Here's what else I tried (with no luck):

• system restore to an earlier time
• different usb ports
• different usb cable
• tried a different windows user account
• tried reinstalling iTunes
• disabled other services

A few other things:

• I connected my iPhone 4S (iOS 5.0.1) and this DID work just fine
• I connected my iPad to a different computer and this also worked fine

Any other ideas? It's confusing because my iPad connects fine to other computers. However, my iPhone can connect without any issues.

I am also getting this same error message, and it all started after I upgraded to 5.1.1 this past weekend. I never had this problem before.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, I have deleted my Lockdown folder, and did pretty much all of the same things that Sp00ler did above, all to no avail.

Come on Apple, this is obviously a problem caused by 5.1.1 - please fix it! - or give us a REAL solution to this problem!

After you get this error, if you right click your device and hit backup, whats happens?

Are you using Windows or MAC?

Did you update Itunes to 10.6.3 ?

If it works fine with other computers, there is something going on with that particular PC that Itunes and the device do not like.

Are your devices jailbroken?

joyalkumar i tryed it but it not working when i hit erase all content and Setting i see black screen and apple it start loading then after the phone crash and stuck on crashing screen for 1 hour then after i restart it, for information my phone jailbroken so what i can do? do i need to put it on DFU mode and restore it using itunes on my computer?

Turn your iPhone to a DFU mode and restore it 😀

Erase all content and settings worked for me.

I also removed the password, decrypted the backup on my PC, and removed all VPN's and installed profiles.

no need to put in dfu mode, i m not master in those things

but i've tried this, and it worked fine, basicallty as per my knowledge you need to

format your phone, its up to you how you are doing it
