iTunes 9 on Windows 7 is a Bit Wonky When Synced with the iPhone
Posted 11/02/09 at 04:10:12 PM by Bart Salisbury
The relationship between things Apple and Windows 7 has hit a small snag. It appears that version 9 of iTunes, when run under the 64-bit version of Windows 7, is having problems synchronizing with iPhones. Given the popularity of iPhones, and the necessity of iTunes for keeping it populated with music, apps, and video, this could be a bit of a problem.
Postings in the Apple discussions, which go on for six pages, report pretty much the same thing--no iTunes-iPhone syncing, with iTunes reporting an error code of 0xE8000065, which like many Microsoft error codes, doesn’t reveal a great deal. In a few other cases users are told MTB USB drivers can’t be installed. As MTB drivers are needed to move media back-and-forth, this makes sense, but it’s not clear what prevents their installation.
Some users have reported turning off Apple’s Bonjour software helps, but others have reported back that either the fix didn’t work, or was only temporary. Other users say they have resolved the problem by taking the drastic step of completely restoring the iPhone, deleting the iPodDevices.xml file, turning on C-State functionality in the BIOS, removing Bonjour from the system, and closing all programs before plugging in the iPhone. Given the scope of this fix let’s hope that Apple gets the problem resolved quickly.

iPhone is one of the greatest gadgets ever, unfortunatly it ha sbeen made by one of the most proprietary firms ever : Apple and more unfortunatly can only be used with the most retarded/crippled/ridiculous software ever: iTunes
iTunes is not only having problems with win7, iTunes is notorious for not being compatible with anything at all, it wouldn't update my iPhone on my vista64 bit high end computer and its having problems running even on mac ffing books !
i would love to have an iPhone/iPod that can simply be connected using a freacking simple USB cable lie anything useful !

It should be noted that this occurs especially on the P55 chipset, mine syncs perfectly fine on a X58 machine.
They shouldn't be allowed to write Windows software

QuickTime on Windows was always a buggy POS, and iTunes has always been a lousy media manager. (Ran into this one this week: No easy way to mass delete all the files that can no longer be found.)
I've gone through periods where iTunes doesn't acknowledge that I have an iPod plugged in. Windows knows it's there. iTunes is clueless. Reboot, nothing. Reinstall iTunes, nothing. Then, magically, it starts working again.
If I had a spare 3 bills, I'd go Zune HD and never look back.
