Iphone itunes sync problem??

the_kop_2 · 19-02-2008, 16:45

Hi all!

Just got an iphone, its a 4gb version, unlocked to all networks using anysim 1.2.1u, running the latest software version 1.1.3. The phone was originally a US AT&T phone...

Basically the prob seems to be that the phone will not work on my comp? im trying to set up itunes...i have downloaded it on the phone via wifi and then i beleive the next step is to hook it up to the comp to sync up my tunes?? is that right?

Im not sure what the prob is as I hear the noise to confirm hardware attached via usb...but then have to manually click on the itunes on my desktop (i normally assumed like my old nano it just auto opens when connected to the ipod/iphone) and when i do i get the following message

itunes could not connect to the iphone ''' because of an unknown error (0xE8000001)

Any help or advice? I have tried using different usb cables, restarting the phone, switching comp off and on, ditto off and on with the phone, charged it up fully...but still this same prob

very frustrated!!!

Have you got a current version of itunes? iphone support has only been in recent versions of itunes (7.5 or 7.6 I think). If you're still using an old version of itunes that came with your nano, it won't know what an iphone is.

All sorted,

was the usb that was the problem on the comp, using the connection at the back of the comp.

But now having uploaded music, nothing plays! I have uploaded different tracks from cds, my old ipod collection from itunes library,etc, but all the same avail!

The iphone just seems to be acting slow (ive only uploaded 70 odd tracks to test) and it refuses to play any music.

ps version is latest version of itunes, downloaded today

Any ideas?
