An unknown error occured (13014) and I can't open iTunes. How do I fix this?

I was buying a song on Itunes and it had an error downloading. I quit Itunes and tried to restart it only to be greeted by this error.

Hi rachel.oberman98,
Is it possible that the dock icon is from an older version of iTunes? The these steps from this article -
Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2311
Double-click your hard disk.
Double-click the Applications folder.
Double-click the iTunes icon.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I changed my apple ID but when I open iCloud it still has my old ID and I can't log in, how do I fix this?

Hello scottyme1,
In order to sign out of your iCloud account that had a ID change, you would need to change the account back to the original. The reason for that is probably due to the Find my device feature and it needs to verify and if that iCloud account does not exist because of the name change and you cannot sign out. Changing it back is pretty easy and should not ask you to verify but once you change it and sign out, you can change it back to what you want it to be. Take a look at the article below to walk you through this.

I have found other threads with this problem. The problem is that you are using your iTunes account on another user at the same time you want to update software. Just close iTunes from that user. See > https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4577180?start=0&tstart=0

I get this error also. It is getting quite annoying. I tried contacting support and this is what they sent me:
"First, make sure you're using the latest version of iTunes. It can be downloaded free of charge from the iTunes website:
http://www.itunes.com/download
Certain types of software can cause conflicts and prevent iTunes from connecting to the iTunes Store properly, even if the software appears to be configured to allow iTunes access. This can include firewall, virus-protection, and web-acceleration software.
If the error message persists after you upgrade iTunes, you can pinpoint which software program is the source of the block in the connection by using the MSCONFIG utility on your computer. For detailed instructions, please refer to the following article:
Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista
http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n305415
In addition, if you are connecting to the Internet via a local area network (LAN), your router might have firewall settings that may interfere with your downloads and produce this error message. I suggest removing the router from your computer's connection and then connecting your computer directly to your modem. For assistance with settings for your router or modem, you may need to contact the manufacturer.
When configuring the software on your computer to give iTunes access to the Internet, you'll need to allow the following domains :
phobos.apple.com
phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net
If you require more in-depth assistance, you may wish to consider calling Apple technical support. A representative will be able to tell you about Apple's complimentary and fee-based support options and can help you determine which option might be most helpful in this case. You can reach AppleCare technical support at 800-APL-CARE (800-275-2273). Help is available seven days a week from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. central time. "
Didn't help me... maybe it will work for someone else.

Place the iPod in Recovery mode and connect to the computer and restore via iTunes.

PLease help she's 8 years old and is driving me freakin nuts. I cannot get on itunes on my computer it does think im online if there is any other way besides itunes or having to go to the apple store please i need to know

The only way is to connect the iPod to a computer with iTunes and restore. It may be necessary to place the iPod in recovery mode in order to restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

ITunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (13014)

Ysterday I bought a brand spanking new Acer Aspire 7551 laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium and installed the latest version of iTunes (64 bit) on it.
I started iTunes with great anticipation because I so looked forward to syncing my iPhone with my Very Own Laptop.
Alas, iTunes did not start. Instead I received a message "the itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (13014)." Much Googling and reinstalling later the problem remains.
I have already deleted the genius files and rebooted several times. All to no avail. If anyone can propose a solution, I would be most grateful. Needless to say, I'd be happy to post any further info that can help to solve this problem.

Okay fixed my own problem. I don't know how or why, but it appears that I lost permissions for my iTunes folder in documents and settings. It took some messing with file permissions to get access to delete it, but I finally got it.
Once it was gone, no more issue. iTunes launched, created a new iTunes folder, and good as new.

An unknown error occurred (13014) - help?

Hi
After a crash whilst syncing my 120 GB iPod Classic the other night (on a 1.25 GHz eMac running OS X 10.5.8) I now get a message saying 'The iPod 'Xxxxx' cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (13014).'.
The iPod plays songs, scrobbles, syncs podcasts and allows songs to be transferred onto it - but Genius no longer works, and that was the main reason I bought a new 120 GB iPod instead of a 160 GB one.
After Googling Apple's advice on what to do with that error code (which seems to be all about iPhones rather than iPods) I'm no closer to a solution, and am concerned a restore may be needed.
I manually manage the iPod, due to my library being about 160 GB, so would love to know if there is either a way of fixing the error, or a way of setting the contents of the 'Pod as a playlist, or somesuch, so I can reset the iPod and just re-copy the tracks (about 107 GB worth) onto it simply, rather than having to manually select 18,000-odd songs.
Is there a way I can do this, or some other solution to this problem?
Thanks for reading.

I'm having the same problem with my 160GB iPod. I haven't upgraded to Snow Leopard yet. I tried rebooting the computer, and tried updating iTunes. Neither worked -- still getting the message. I do have my iPod synced to iTunes but would like to avoid having to wipe the iPod & start over as it'll take forever given the size of my library. Anyone found a solution other than nuking the iPod?

HELP! The itunes application could not be opened. An Unknown error occurred (13014).

a day or so ago my macbook 13in crashed in the middle of use, took several minutes to then reboot and now seems to be working fine except itunes will not open. when i try to open it a dialog box appears with the following message: "The itunes application could not be opened. an unknown error occured (13014).
I am running snow leopard, and it first appeared it was disk space but i checked my HD and it says there is 372GB available so i cant imagine its that.
I am by no means any sort of genius on here, so any help is beyond appreciated!

Redownload iTunes. ----> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

The error message I get on my PC is "The ITunes library file cannot be saved" An unknown error occurred (-50)and my music library has disappeared. I recently tried to copy a CD to my library - it appeared to copy ok but then did not appear in my music library. The library does not show up even when my iPad is connected to my PC. My entire library is now held on my iPad and I wish to have it in iTunes so I can sync my iPhone to it as well. Help?

Don't know what changed today but it downloaded and installed on the shuffle. So far so good.
