If iTunes doesn't recognize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod - Apple Support

Yeah I'm having a similar issue, same error message on PC, on Mac it says "the value is missing" for the error message. My phone hit max memory, I started deleting apps and cleared up to 7gb a few days ago. Now it's down to a little under 5gb even though I haven't done anything. I cant see any of my photos or messages, apps crash and its super laggy. But i know my photos are still on there because they are still taking up storage on the device and i can see a thumbnail in the camera app but it still says zero photos. When I plugged it in my computer initially, it got deactivated like someone else mentioned but the apple store managed to update my software in recovery mode and that fixed the problem of not activating. Now its working again (well partly working, the alarm app doesnt work, I cant sign into icloud and it keeps saying my wifi password is wrong even though its not and my messages disappear after i send them) but I still cant access my photos. Two trips to the apple store, they said my user data is in a partition they cant access and only said to restore which I cant do because the last year of photos isnt backed up (the irony is my phone hit max memory while backing up to google photos which started this whole mess). I really want to access the photos there before i restore my phone, I have done a reset and network reset, tried downloading different file recovery apps but they dont recognize my phone or they just fail part way during the scan. I feel like I've tried everything and all the apple store can say is go to a 3rd party data recovery place and pay them over $1000 to recover it. There has to be a way to access it otherwise, I don't feel like android would have so many layers to make it hard for users to get their data or use their phone like a regular hard drive. If I don't recover my photos, I'm officially done with iphones... the quality has fallen off recently and this is just ridiculous.

Im having the exact same issue, my photos randomly had deleted out of nowhere and then would restore several moment after that at times my phone would just turn off and then turn on again and my photos will all disappear. The whole day I didn't use my phone and when I did I went to see if it was doing it again and it was, I tried plugging my phone into my laptop several times so i could connect to iTunes but it kept coming up with "the value is missing", my photos were still gone again so I turned my phone off, when I turned it back on again and all my apps had crashed, I figured my music app was taking up most of my storage so I deleted it, turned my phone off and once it turned on, the apps were back to normal, photos were starting to work, iTunes were working again, but then it happened again, clicked on photos and it took me right out again and deleted my photos AGAIN. Tried connecting to iTunes through the laptop but said "the value is missing" again, really don't want to restart yet because my photos are still on my phone and i haven't backed them up or anything, this has been frustrating me the whole day, can anyone help???

I have exactly the same problem my iphone says "iphone is disabled connect to itunes" and the customer service fixed. now lost power and charged it its back to square one. the customer service took my IMEI number and tried to reset but could not. Only option was to Erase and she said will take 2 days to erase so no phone. waiting for the email and then call them. all for $800 phone and not stolen.

I have the same problem, that help file did not help. Any other ideas?

I have the same problem, Unknown error 0xe8000015, Does anyone know how to fix it?

I had this issue, I connected the phone in restore mode and updated via iTunes and it fixed my problem.
