Most of the iPhone users may familiar with the most annoying iTunes error “iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000065)”.
I also faced that problem. So i did a couple of experiments on it. Finally figured out why this error is occurring.
I don’t know whether i was right or wrong. But itunes have some compatibility issues with Anti-Virus software’s (includes firewall).
Because whenever i faced the error ..i am simply opting pause protection in my anti-virus software (Kaspersky Internet Security) . Then itunes detecting my iPhone as soon as i re-opened the iTunes.
Two simple solutions i figured out for this problem :
- If you see this error simply close iTunes software (No need to re-connect the iPhone) pause the protection in your anti-virus/disable Firewall temporarily. Then re-open the itunes (see your self that your iPhone connected now)…
- The above method will works for sure. In case if it don’t worked. You need to “Hold Power Button & Home Button simultaneously untill you see the Apple Logo.
Note : Do this method keeping the iTunes open
At least one solution should definitely works. Feel free to ask me for more help.
My ipad battery was extreme low and was stuck with this error code. Tried with step 2 and it went back to normal.
This is a great awesome step to recovery and is working fine now Thanks.

don’t do anything only uninstall wifi sycn from iphone & pc then afterward restart itunes and connect iphone to pc.
it work 100%. this work oniy for error 0xe8000065
Oh my gosh! I didn’t think this would work, but it did. I was worried there was a problem with my iPod! Thank you!
Brilliant website! Thanks! Step 2 is the killer! Keep up the good work!
Thanks heaps! Step 2 worked. Legend!!!!!
Thank you so much, obviously step 2 worked, i was not going to restore to the goddamn thing again. you made us all happy XD
Either choice did not work for me. When I hit the home button, I get a picture of a USB chord and and arrow pointing to an iTunes icon. I plug it in and it tells me that the ipod is locked with a passcode and needs to be unlocked. Problem is that I have the USB pic on my ipod and it won’t let me enter a passcode. When I hold in the two buttons together, the apple comes on screen and I start over. Any suggestions???
nothing worked for my iphone 4s
Reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly
Thhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaanks :
Thanks :
thank you, thank you, thank you! I turned my i-phone off because it was running slowly and had some crushes and I wanted to do a restart but it locked up instead. The circle thing just spun around for 45 mins, so I plugged it into itunes and I got the error (0xE8000065). solution no 2 just worked for me! thank you!!!!!!!!!
step 2 helped a lot…i reset the ipod first (refer to step 2) then i tried to plug my ipod to another usb port, my computer detected it and installed the driver and then waited for 5- 10 secs…and it detected my ipod…amazing..lols..thanks a lot..you made my day..
Way to go! Step#2! It works awesome!
what about a solution the error (0xE800000A)? i have tried these ideas here but none have worked. I have the Iphone 3gs (8gig) and i just updated the itunes software but not the phone itself becuase i needed to update itunes before the phone.
Option 1 did the trick. Thanks for posting
