  • Keep getting error (-9812) message in itunes

    Hello, I really hope someone can help me.
    I am currently unable to sign into itunes as each time I try I get the message - We could not complete your itunes store request. An unknown error has occurred - I have never had any problems before however so I have no idea what to do.
    I was hoping to take advantage of the home share so me and my girlfriend could have both our iphone on it and my ipod.
    Please could someone help explain what has happened.
    Kind Regards
    Dave

    Just doublechecking, Dave. Have you worked through the following document in the course of your troubleshooting to date?

  • Itunes wont open/ immediate "send error report message"

    So I had a problem with me trying to install itunes 7.3 because of a missing itunes.msi. I followed the instructions i found from this forum as follows
    "1. Go to http://www.ccleaner.com/ and download and install CCleaner. Run this program and click Run Cleaner. This program will remove most of your temporary files.
    2. Go to http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1b d/msicuu2.exe and download and install Windows Install Clean Up utility. Click on iTunes and click Remove. Do the same for Quicktime.
    3. Now you need to manually delete all of your iTunes and Quicktime files. This can take a very long time. Just go to C: and start searching through.
    4. Go to the Run box and type in "regedit". Go through all of the folders in there and delete all iTunes and Quicktime files.
    5. Go to Add/Remove Programs and Remove iTunes and Quicktime.
    6. Download iTunes again and install it."
    I then tried to open itunes and immediately a message pops up asking if i want to send an error report to microsoft. It seems as though step 4 might have truly made things worse.
    Someone please help
      Windows XP  

    After you get the send error report message go to:
    Start -> Control Panel (In classic view which can be enabled by clicking view classic.) -> Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer.
    Select the Application log and look for the most recent errors (Marked by a red X).
    Double click on the error and it will show you a full description. For an error similar to the one you are recieving it should report a 'faulting module' in the error.
    Please paste that here. This will help us help you.

  • I want to Sync my iPhone 4 to iTunes however I get an error message from iTunes each time I connect the phone to the PC saying that I should restore to factory settings. Frustrating because it's already annoying enough that I can't drag and drop mp3's!!!

    I have never been so frustrated before in my life with any phone. I find it obnoxious as it is that I cannot simply drag and drop files (especially MP3's) straight from my PC directly into my phone, which I have been used to doing up until now. Everyone who convinced me to get the iPhone has instructed me that my frustration can be fixed by downloading iTunes and syncing it all up via that program (which I have never used before). So, I downloaded the program successfully, however when I connect the iPhone 4 to the PC and iTunes is open, I get an error message that 'iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone "iPhone" and that I should go to the Preferences tab of the iPhone and select 'restore' to restore this phone to factory settings. First of all, I don't understand why I need to do that. I have already downloaded apps and other important things in the 2 days that I have the phone. I am also scared that it will erase my contacts. This is such a headache. Music is very imporatant to me, but I am getting so frustrated that I don't have freedom over the phone which I thought was supposed to be one of the best out there. I would really appreciate help in this matter. I am sure the phone is great but I am on the verge of taking it back and getting something else.

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

    Let's see if a more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure gets us past that, nancy. See the following troubleshooting document:

  • Itunes get "Send Error Report" message

    Alright so when I try and open itunes I get a send error report message. I've tried updating it and that doesnt work and I've already tried reinstalling it. I thought quicktime was the error so I went to try and remove it from my computer. As it was loading to remove quicktime I got a "fatal error" message and quicktime could not be deleted.
    Help please?

    Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close
    the first thing that i check for when people report getting that message when they try to launch their itunes is a broken QuickTime.
    try to open your QuickTime. does it launch properly, or do you get an error message?
    if you get an error message, the first thing we'll try is a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
    download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
    Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
    if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
    (if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

  • Itunes 7 error report message

    i recently downloaded the new itunes, and it messed up everything. I ran the install program and when i tried to run the program, i get an error report message. It says that the program cannot open. I have tried unistalling, and redownloading, and nothing works. I also tried to revert to 6.01 version, but that didnt work either.Im running a dell, with os windows xp. any help would be much appreciated.

    let's get a crash log to the Apple Engineers for a look.
    Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
    drwtsn32 -i
    And hit return.
    This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log"
    prior to collecting the itunes crash log, delete any existing crash logs in there. (we want to make sure we send the correct crash log.)
    Generate the crash, collect the crash log, and send it as an attachment to this email address.
    in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
    - A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
    - The username you are using in the thread
    - The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
    - A concise description of the issue you are seeing
    - The exact text of the error message you are seeing (if you are seeing one)

  • ITunes "Send Error Report" Message/Quicktime Problem

    This is a problem that has only occured after I updated my iTunes to 7.0.2. Some songs in my library, and all of my videos that I have bought through the Music store cause the "Send Error Report" message to come up and iTunes closes down immediately.
    I read another thread that a similar problem was occuring to a customer, and one of the admins requested him to un-install Quicktime and delete 2 files out of the registry. Then re-install quicktime through the "Repair" section of the iTunes installer. I followed these steps and the problem seemed to be fixed, but then they were "re-corrupted" I guess after I restarted my computer.
    Do you have any idea what would be wrong? I know it is not spyware/viruses because I have several programs to check/delete them.
    Thanks for your help

    Bump for the 3rd time.
    Quicktime will not even open, on a sidenote. It starts to load, then I hear some sort of beep..then it closes. I have tried re-installing multiple times and the problem continues.

  • I spend a long time to try to sync my itunes music on my ipod 160 GB Classic, but after waiting so long get a pop up message that itunes stop syncing because of error 46, some times giving me 58, 1469, and many other numbers, please help macbook pro

    i spend a long time to try to sync my itunes music on my ipod 160 GB Classic, but after waiting so long get a pop up message that itunes stop syncing because of error 46, some times giving me 58, 1469, and many other numbers, please help am using macbook pro

    That is precisely what my mid-2010 MacBoook Pro 13 was doing before the drive finally died after an Apple Genius rebooted it a dozen or so times. I have since read about the exact same thing happening to others, including a writer for The Atlantic magazine who had never had an issue with a Mac before. Do a back-up ASAP to make sure you don't lose anything and see about replacing the HDD. It is only about $140 for a new drive. The real issue is if you lose your data, too. So, make sure you do that back-up!

  • I just tried to update my iPhone4 to iOS7 and after downloading, I got an error "4005" message; Now my iPhone is completely wiped out and I can't even get my pc to read it (just has a picture of the USB and the iTunes icon). HELP!!

    I tried updating my Iphone4 from iOS 6.1.4 to 7 via iTunes. After downloading, I got an error 4005 message during installation and now my phone is completely wiped out; is not being recognized by my PC; and all I get on the phone is a photo of a USB plug and the iTunes symbol! Can anyone, PLEASE, help?!?

    The phones in recovery mode so if yu connect it to itunes it should ask to restore it back to the last back up you have done.
    that should solve it for you...

    I did the iTunes update and now I am getting a Windows error 126 message. Now I can't use iTunes at all. Any ideas?

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    The following Knowledge Base article provides a great step-by-step walkthrough for troubleshooting issues with installing iTunes. Make sure you are downloading the install file from Apple directly, as you want to be installing the latest version of the installer, not a dated one. The proper link is provided in Step 3:
