Iv'e installed Leopard on all 3 of my computers. I have no problem synchronizing my wife's iPhone to my computer or my daughter's computer (thus ruling out a problem with the iPhone itself as the cause of the problem to be described).
The problem is that I cannot get my wife's PowerBook to work well with her iPhone. When her iPhone is connected, iTunes does not automatically start up. If I start up iTunes there is a long pause and one of several things happens:
1) I get the message "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000001)" or
2) After unplugging and reconnecting the iPhone I may get initial synchronizing to begin. But after copying 2 or 3 music files to the iPhone there is either a never ending beach ball or sometimes the message, "The iPhone'Your iPhone' cannot be synced. The device timed out".
Often iTunes will freeze and only a force quit will escape out of the program.
First I tried to reinstall iTunes. This didn't help. Then I did an Archive and Install. This did not help.
Any ideas? I think the iPhone is not the problem since it syncs well with my other two computers. But my wife really wants to control and sync her iPhone with her own personal computer.
Thanks.
