ITunes Error 13005

Hi,
I've just upgraded the the latest version of iTunes, and iTunes will now not open - error code 13005 appears instead. Any suggestions?
Daniel

I also have had this mystery error code appear. I went to my local Apple store and asked the genius that was working what the non-descriptive error (13005) was he had not heard of it ??? It too seems that this began on my system at the time of the second to last iTunes update.
I have not yet solved he problem and it seems like it has happened to a lot of people out there. one lead that i got was it may have some thing to do with having your library saved on an external hard drive. the problem is sense iTunes does not open, there is no way to be sure. Generally in the past iTunes could still open even if it could not locate the music library.
I really wish some one at apple would address this problem. it really seems like somebody should know what the error code means.

Error 13005 Anyone know what is going on?

When I try to run iTunes I get the above error. Even when I tell itunes to create a new library by holding down shift when I click on itunes, it still gives me this error. Anyone know what is going on?

Hello, I get that error message "iTunes error 13005". I have my itunes database on an ext HD, I completed an update yesterday from Apple and my itunes wont open on my computer, giving me the above error message. I have read the resolutions offerred in the thread but I not been successfull in solving the problem. I have deleted the Genius and extras files, rebooted the computer and still the same message. I dont think it is anything to do with the iTunes update as it had the same effect on another computer here that had been update. I think it is something to do with the Ext HD and possibly the extreme WiFi router and it's firmwire update.
Did you resolve your problem?
Thanks

iTunes Library Extras.itdb
THEN LAUNCH iTUNES.

Tried to download Songbird, messed up iTunes bad (Error 13005)

So I wanted to see what songbird was like, so I downloaded it, didn't like it. Tried to go back to iTunes and it keeps giving me:
Unknown Error (13005)
A google search told me to delete my genius tab, it just kept getting recreated every time that I open iTunes back up and the error just comes again. Could it be because I have my music on an external hard drive? What's the deal?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Error 13005 when starting itunes... related to Time capsule FirmwareUpdate

Hi, I store my iTunes library on my Time capsule. Since the firmware update, I have been getting error 13005 every time I try to run iTunes. This thread pointed me over here to see if anyone knew of a reason why:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9120768&#9120768
When I create a new iTunes library on ANY other hard drive but Time Capsule, iTunes starts right up, but when I do the same on Time Capsule I get the dreaded error, even when I create a new library in a new folder on it.
Any ideas?

How can i fix itunes application error 13005

I getting a itunes application error 13005 when i try opening it. Is there anyway to fix this. Thank you everyone for your help.

you need to do 2 simple things:
1) Delete the Genius file sitting next to your iTunes Library file (Genius.itdb) then
relaunch iTunes and (if needed) select the desired library
2) Go get yourself a free copy of MacKeeper
and fix the permissions on your HD. This is one of the most probable causes for the file corruption.

Updated iTunes to 9.2, now application won't launch - Error #13005

Help! I just updated my itunes to 9.2 and now it won't launch. An error window comes up and tells me it's due to an unknown error # 13005? I tried re-installing it to fix it but it still won't. Please help. I'm on the white 13' Macbook, running OS X 10.6.4. I have my itunes library in my external HD. Dying to get this fixed any help would be appreciated.

try these user tips:
try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.
and, if you have flip4mac installed
I found that the TSLicense plugin was causing the problem.
From the log:
PlugIn Path: /Library/Frameworks/TSLicense.framework/Versions/A/TSLicense
PlugIn Identifier: net.telestream.license
This pIugin is installed with the Flip4Mac Windows Media Components. I solved the problem by uninstalling the WM Components via the uninstaller at /Applications/Flip4Mac/Flip4Mac WMV Uninstaller.pkg, after which iTunes opens successfully.

Unknown error 13005

Yup, I'm another one - tried to download 8, and now get this maddening 'unknown error 13005' message every time, and iTunes won't open. I've run the 'repair' programme twice, uninstalled and installed iTunes - what twit at Apple put this upgrapde out there without debugging it properly first?
I'm no computer whizz - I want a simple solution, preferably supplied by Apple - failing that, anyone else out there cracked this problem?

Hey collissharvey,
If you haven't already try updating to iTunes 8.0.1.

You also might want to try and re-create the iTunes library as described here:

ITunes error 7 (windows 127) VideoToolbox.dll

I have uninstalled, reinstalled, tried installing the videotoolbox.dll file seperately, and looked up just about everything i can find but nothing matches my exact problem or fixes it. When I try to open itunes i get 2 error messages. The first reads:
"The procedure entry point kVTCompressionPropertyKey_ThrottleForBackground could not be located in the dynamic link library VideoToolbox.dll"
After I click ok I get another pop up saying:
"iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes
Error 7 (Windows error 127)"
Can anyone help me fix this?
Thank you
P.S. I am running Windows 7 64-bit

Itunes error

when i try and open itunes on my laptop i keep getting the error message Itunes new library and it wont let me open it. I've tried repairing it on control panel and i've also tried installing a newer version. Nothing works.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Well, I've been the victim of curious and unsolveable iTunes errors, too, but not the same as what you describe. I suspect it had something to do with updating my computer with an external drive/iPod mounted. Or it was just one of those funny little bugs from Apple. You might try backing up, repairing permissions, repairing the start-up volume, and resetting the PRAM.
And if that doesn't work or you already tried that, well... Have a good one!

ITunes update shows runtime error R6034/iTunes error 7/Windows error 1114. iTunes tells me to reinstall but I've uninstalled/restalled and get same error messages.

After iTunes update I see this - Runtime error R6034 "application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly". ThenUninstalled then I also get iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes error 7 (Windows error 1114). I've tried fixes for runtime but computer says there are no errors. I've uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes and get all the above messages. Now when I start up my computer the runtime error pops up, but once it is closed computer works fine until I try to open iTunes. I've even tried a system restore going back to November. I use iTunes for audiobooks on iPod and I'm going to get desperate soon. Any suggestion?

ITunes error message -39

Hi,
I'm running an eMac 10.3.9, iTunes 6.0.4 and an iPod 30gb photo.
I started having problems a few days before the latest iTunes update came out earlier this week, with iTunes not quitting and it not being able to find the library.
Now with the iTunes update, I get the error message
"the iPod cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-39)"
I have run Disk Warrior 3.0.3 over the disk and the iPod with no change.
I have run Onyx and Yasu to reset permissions, cron etc etc. with no change.
There is no reference to iPod/iTunes error -39 on the Apple website nor in this forum.
I have changed USB ports with no change.
The iPod appears in the iTunes menu and the battery charges. I can also open the iPod disk and work with the contents.
I have reset the iPod with no change. I used the 'hold the central button and Menu at the same time' trick, so could go one step further and delete everything from the iPod and start again.
But that is assuming the problem is with the iPod. If the problem is with iTunes I won't be able to reload all my songs onto the iPod.
Any hints appreciated.
Tim
eMac 1.25gHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Problem resolved by restoring iPod to factory settings and reloading all the songs.
Prior to this I deleted iTunes and downloaded a new version from the Apple site. This did not resolve the error -39 message.
Then I took the plunge and restored the iPod. Works fine now.
I'm posting the fix to help anyone into the future with the same problem.
