Error (0xE8000084). What you do.

Thanks for this advice.

I have not been able to update my 3GS for 2 years, just havent bothered.

Decided to give it another try. Took me 1 minute to find this solution

It seems to be working perfectly

I run Windows 7 64bit

Thanks, this helped !

This worked for me too! Thanks 😁

This helped. Thank you so much

This solved my issue....sort of.

Thank you, Cyclist -- months later your post is still solving problems (like mine)!

So it appears I have to do this EVERY time I wish to sync my iphone! Good lord can Apple get any crappier??? Thank God this is the last Apple product I will ever purchase in my lifetime!

yup, solved mine too!

I have found that killing all instances of ATH.exe, and then disconnecting and reconnectring the iPhone works just fine when this happens. 12 seconds or so.... still... come on Apple... I shouldn't have to do this and clearly a lot of people have this problem.

I've heard that disabling wifi sync will help but I've not tested that additional step.

Thx PatNY! problem solved !🙂

Thanks pal.......... :-)

I am also receiving the same error message whilst trying to sort out my daughter's forgotten password on her iPod touch. I am not getting any of the dialogue boxes you are all mentioning when following the instructions. I have tried cyclists method but don't get the 'show processes from all users' when I open task manager. I am a complete technophobe but don't want to have to make an appt at the apple store.... PLEEEASE can anyone help?

I was having this problem on a Windows 7 64-bit PC and this fixed it immediately. Thanks a ton!

I have tried every suggestion on this thread and none of them have worked for me. 😠

This solved my issue. Thanks, CyclistFromAshburn! 😀
