So I have a huge dilemma, this morning when i used my Itouch oh no! Lo and behold! It was acting weird! it couldn't find my wireless network, it wasn't saving settings properly, and it was just plain acting up. Since the New York times app was asking to be connected to Itunes so it could work I said, maybe my Itouch needs a sync....

Then this message appears upon connecting my iPod touch's usb connector to my Vista PC:

"Itune could not connect to the iPod "Aaron's Ipod" because an unknown error occured (0xE800005E)"

I search the internet and I find this site fron ilounge forums, it tells me to do a forced reset, so here I go trying to following the instruction which sound so confusing....

draw back is i'll lose my information, thats what it says...

thinking back I remember reading from a forum before that low memory space does bad things to an iPod so I checked my memory and only 26MB of 8GB is left so that sounds bad right so I guess oh well maybe thats the culprit.

So I go ahead and press the power off button and the front button which i have no idea what it was so i just press the home button, trying to do a forced reset.

Instead a dialogue comes up to turn off or power down the itouch, I have to swipe to select this. So instead I do that.

I turn my device back on by holding the power button down for quite a while, and VOILA!

I can connect my Itouch again. So folks, if you have problems with your Itouch, maybe it just needs to be powered off and on again just like my PC when it has bad days it needs a reset to refresh and clear up its memory!

Hope someone out there gets this and finds it useful because honestly there were no entries on Google for Error (0xE800005E) at least now we have one solution to it!

Hope this helps!
