iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000001).

I only realized today, that my iTunes gave this message whenever I connected to my iPhone 4.

"iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000001)."

Here’s a series of test which I have done to isolate what’s the main problem.
There are 2 USB ports on my MBA (name as USB#1 and USB#2).

When connect to USB#2:
  • iTunes gave error above.
  • iPhoto is able to recognize the iPhone.
  • DiskAid unable to recognize the iPhone.
  • Delete and Reinstall iTunes - doesn’t work.
  • Reset PRAM and run Disk Utility (Repair Permissions) - doesn’t work either.
  • All other USB devices such as Sony Camera and iPad has no problem.
When connect to USB#1:
  • iTunes recognize the iPhone! Can sync with no problem,
  • iTunes also recognize both iPad (when both are connected)
It seems that the USB#2 have no problem recognizing other USB devices EXCEPT the iPhone 4...!
The only thing left to do is to Restore the iPhone 4 or DFU and upgrade to the latest Firmware 4.3.3.
But... before I do this, can anyone here help me out? Any suggestion?

UPDATE:
Finally, I decided to try upgrade and Jailbreak iOS 4.3.3 using Pwnage 4.3.3.
However, the iTunes still failed to recognize the iPhone 4.

The Brand New iPhone 5 Video . This is going to change all over again.

Unlock iPhone 4 with 1.59.00 or iPhone 3G & 3GS with 4.26.08, 5.11.07, 5.12.01, 5.13.04, and 6.15.00 Using Ultrasn0w 1.2.3

Ultrasn0w has been updated to version 1.2.3 with support for preserved baseband running iOS 4.3.3. In other words, ultrasn0w 1.2.3 does not unlock new baseband, but it does work to keep your unlock if you have been tugging along iPhone 4 with 1.59.00 or iPhone 3G & 3GS with 4.26.08, 5.11.07, 5.12.01, 5.13.04, and 6.15.00.
If this applies to you, you’ll want to use PwnageTool 4.3.3 (Mac) or Sn0wbreeze (Windows) to jailbreak while preserving your old baseband and updating to iOS 4.3.3.
Install Ultrasn0w Unlock for 4.3.3
After you are jailbroken, ultrasn0w is installed through Cydia. You can generally do this just by searching for “ultrasn0w” but if that fails:

Where It Begins - My First Owned Website Using Exabyte

Finally I decided to take the plunge and register my own domain. I have been using the name “Edoras FotoZine” for many years in different websites such as the Fotopages, Blogger and Flickr.

Thus, before anyone else register that domain name, I decided to buy the domain and create my own photoblog, gadget blog and travel blog.

I registered the domain from one of Malaysia’s Hosting Services i.e. Exabytes on Jan. 31, 2011. Initially, I thought to use the domain name on the Blogger site but it seems that its quite a hassle to configure it there. Thus, I decided to subscribed to “Home Biz” package (hosting services)from Exabytes. At least my site is hosted locally (in response to the Government’s initiatives to host within Malaysian shores). Hopefully, the web response time from local users will be much faster than the international hosting services.

screenshot_03-2011-05-9-10-38.jpg

Since this is my first time, I found it is very difficult to understand all the Jargon of the website development but I managed to learn over the night. Configuring the services over the c-panel of Exabytes hosting server is not that difficult but to ensure that I install the right applications is quite a hassle for me.

At first, I tried some of Wordpress Template to create my Blog but it was not to my liking. Then, creating my own portal using Joomla proved to be a disaster. For someone who have no background experience of web designer, it is certainly not an easy task.

I have to call/email Exabytes support three times to solve my problem. Both times, I have not been able to access the server (due to firewall and too many ftp logins) and later I have difficulty in making http://www.edorasfotozine.com to open my self-created Frontpage /Homepage. It always decided to point back to the Exabytes welcoming page.

Finally, I chose to use iWeb for my Web Development. Initially I have problem in setting the FTP login and Directory settings, but finally I managed to pull it through and my first website is ready to have contents inserted.

Best Regards,

~Edoras~

iOS 5 will support Over-the-Air Firmware Update

It is expected that Apple will release future updates of iOS 5.0 via Over-the-Air for all their iOS devices. This is not new to other competitors.
Rather than full downloads, it make sense for Apple to update small sizes or patches.
Otherwise, the mobile network will certainly be congested with iOS updates traffic.
This is what has been reported to me recently by one of the local mobile telco - the traffic that congest their spectrum mainly came from Windows Updates!
What do you think? Will this be a great feature that you have been waiting for? What happen if your network is as fast as a “turtle”?

Apple might raise curtains off iOS 5.0 at its yearly developer conference WWDC 2011, and if sources are to be believed, Apple is going to bring the next cycle of iOS along with the iPhone 5.
Apple would be unveiling the iOS 5 around spring, alongside iPhone 5 in summer. The word is that there would be some heavy changes coming to MobileMe, showing more love for the cloud.
