Hello namasteman,


So your iPhone connects to iTunes but disconnects during sync. With that issue please check out the following article.

If there's an issue with the USB connection to your device, you might see an alert message like "iPhone has timed out" or "error 9" or your device might unexpectedly disconnect when syncing.
