ITunes cant open-unknown error (-50) HELP

My Itunes8 was working just fine and then all of a sudden i kept getting "The itunes applications could not be opened. An unknown error occured (-50)." i tried repairing the program, uninstalling it and then reinstalling it but i keep getting the same thing. if someone knows the solution to this please i need your help. i have no clue what this means and ive been searching the internet for days to find a solution. i need my itunes or else my ipod is useless i tell you useless.

What happens if you try to start Quicktime? iTunes cannot work if QUicktime doesn't.
If QUicktime does not launch go to your control panel and try to start QUicktime preferences. Give the text of any error message in full.
Have installed any of the following:
ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter
They are bad news for Quicktime.
If you Quicktime works normally, work through the following troubleshooting article for iTunes.

Please tell us what kind of computer you have, what operating system and what version of iTunes. Not just "the latest version of iTunes", the exact version number.

Hello i'm facing problem i downloaded itunes version 11 32bit for windows 7 and after i installing the set up when i opened the iTunes a massages occur saying i tunes could not connect to iTunes store an unknown error occurred (-3212) even though my internet is on

Try this...
Triple click anywhere in the line below to select it and press Ctrl+C to copy it.
cmd /k netsh winsock reset
Press the WinLogoKey+R to open the run dialog, then Ctrl+V to paste, then press enter/return.
You should get something similar to this:
Reboot the computer and the problem should be resolved.
If it doesn't work then perhaps a full tear down and rebuild of iTunes will fix things. See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for details.

Hi, i had the same problem. Try to find the file "apple" or "itunes" don't know it anymore exactly. Ahm well you need to delet any information or just plug in your iphone into an other computer. important is that your iphone never has been pluged in this computer before. This was what i did, and it worked!

Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.

ITunes keep showing unknown error 48 while restoring iphone 4s. I've already followed applesupport suggestions of reinstalling iTunes, deleting previously downloaded ipsw on my computer and re-downloading it (countless times!) but still to no avail.

Hi. A very much help needed.
- iTunes keep showing unknown error (48) while restoring my iphone 4s
- I've already re-install iTunes various times
- Already delete previously downloaded 8.3 ipsw and re-downloaded it countless times
- Changed and edited hosts in windows drivers as per shown on guides
but... to no avail!!!!
I am now without any phone to be used.
HELP ME PLEASE

Hello Sean,
It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

Hello Embassykw,
It sounds like your iTunes Store page does not load and instead gives you an error code. I found this error code in an article that will be helpful for you named:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123
The cause for these issues is a program that monitors the Winsock protocol for Windows conflicting with Apple software. These programs usually use a Layered Service Provider (LSP) that can help identify the particular program installed. The programs that monitor this protocol have a variety of purposes, including security software, content filtering, and optimization of network traffic.
Following the instructions should resolve the issue for you.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Itunes could not connect to itunes store - an Unknown Error Occured (502 )

PLEASE HELP !!!!!
For the last 3 days I have been trying to login to the itunes store, but have recieved the message "Itunes could not connect to itunes store - an unknown error occured (502)" each and every time. Can someone please tell me why this is happening and what I can do to fix the problem. I would really like to download some games onto my Ipod, but am having no luck.
Thanks

I have been getting the "cannot access" result for several days, even trying again repeatedly throughout the day and night. It may have started after the last Windows security update. I have not changed anything else on my system prior to this happening, nor have either of the ISP's I use. I agree "something" must have changed, but there seem to be a lot of other people experiencing this same problem. If you are one of them, did it start after applying the Windows update?

Unless as part of a backup, or stored somewhere else, they are gone.
Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. He can continue to use yours for iTunes content, but for everything else, he needs his own.
When you did what you did, as far as iCloud knows, this is the same person with multiple devices, and that's they way things are supposed to work: keep everything in sync.

The error that you are seeing has to do with your Internet connection. Try disabling your anti-virus software and connect the iPhone again and try to restore. See this support document for help. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
