Error code 998 when opening itunes.

When i click on the itunes icon on windows 7 - 64 bit application does not launch.
Please help.

No one technologically saavy replied to me, but I did solve the problem and I thought I would share my own solution.
There was a corrupt file which popped up in an error message and we simply renamed the folder it was in and tried reinstalling it again and it successfully installed!

  • Error code -50 when opening Logic virtual instruments

    I'm getting an error code -50 when trying to open any of the Logic's virtual instruments, VIs from other brands open without a glitch.
    I have searched the support forum but no results came back.
    Please help !!!
    Thanks in advance

    The plugins access the key to check they are authorised to run (remember, the main plugins were separate purchases once upon a time). Obviously, if you are on a USB port/hub that's not agreeing with the XSkey, then communication is unreliable and can take the form of a number of different effects on your system.
    That -50 error probably means the plugin failed to load, as the communication with the XSkey failed during the initialisation process.

  • Error code 2329 when installing itunes

    I am getting error code 2329 when installing itunes

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Error Code 2330 when opening/uninstalling iTunes

    After installing the latest version of iTunes/QuickTime, I can no longer open iTunes because while thrying to "configure iTunes" An error mess age pops up that says:
    The installed has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2330.
    Then I click ok and a dialog box comes up that says "Fatal error occured during installation." I need help because now I cannot open iTunes at all. Also, the same thing happens when I try to Uninstall iTunes.

  • Error Code -36 When Copying iTunes Music folder to an External Drive

    _*"The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "NAME.mp3" could not be read or written. (Error code -36)_"*
    This is the error message I get when trying to copy my iTunes music folder to an external drive. I am following Apple's knowledge base article, so yes, I have consolidated my library, have closed iTunes and there is plenty of room on the external drive. For what it's worth, I am also getting this error when trying to do the same thing with my iPhoto library.
    Would be grateful for some insight,
    With oodles of appreciation in advance,
    Joe

    I was getting the same "-36" error while trying to backup to a Lacie firewire external drive.
    I had a lot of people telling me to re-format, erase, reinstall, run utility programs ... yada, yada, yada.
    First off, test to see if it is the connection type (firewire). I reconnected the offending external drive via USB, restarted the drive and ... BINGO! ... all transfers went perfectly.
    Once i knew it was the firewire connection and not the drive itself i simply unplugged my iSight camera (the only other firewire device connected to my machine), reconnected my external drive via firewire and the problem is now corrected.
    Firewire buses seem to be very finicky things ... i would suggest eliminating all firewire devices from the machine (except, of course, the external drive you're trying to transfer to) and see if the problem goes away.
    Like i said, i simply unplugged my iSight camera and the transfer to my external drive went perfect and my transfer rates went from an average of 4MB/sec to over 19MB/sec.
    P.S. BTW - prior to the error and after i corrected the error by unplugging the iSight camera, my internal and external drives all checked out 100% on Disk Utility, Disk Warrior and TechTool Pro.

  • What does an unexpected error occurred (error code -6584) when opening time machine

    After a terminal hard drive fail in my 2007 imac which was backed up to time machine I tried to restore some data onto my replacement imac 2.9 late 2012.
    I did this via migration assistant - it was a long process about 4 hours - so I went to bed and left it running.
    When I returned to the imac I found I had my old programs back but none of the data assosiated with them - word but no documents, garage sale but no templates and itunes but no music...
    This is my entire music collection of around 300 gig and all my Garage Sale templates which represent years of work.
    Is there anyway to bypass or overcome the error so I can at least get the data mentioned above back?
    any help greatly appreciated
    best wishes
    Strummerman

    To fix the error code -6584 you would need to verify and repair your Time Machine Backup.
    Go to System Preferences > Time Machine.
    Hold down the Option key on your keyboard and click the Time Machine menulet and then selecting "Verify Backups".

  • What is error code 2324 when installing iTunes?

    What is error code 2324?  I got this when trying to re-install iTunes.  I was in the middle of the latest iTunes update when I had to cancel it.  Now I can't access my music so I tried to reinstall iTunes but I get this error code.   I also get a error message saying I need Administrator privlages.  Well I am the Admininstrator and logged in as it.  I can't reinstall iTunes and when I go to remove programs I don't see it listed only Apple Application and Apple Updates, along with an Apple Mobile Device Support. 
    I even 'restored' my system to earlier today before I started downloading the iTunes update to no avail.  Any ideas/suggestions?

  • What is Error Code 16 When Opening PS CS6 in Mountain Lion

    I had to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop CS6 as I was getting Error Code 16 on trying to open Photoshop CS6 in latest version of Mountain Lion OSX. Leading up to this error, I had had to open Application Manager using a temporary Admin Account as AM indicated that it didn't have write permissions using my normal log-on. (It had, including all cotents of Users/Library/application Support). Hopefully someone who has simmilar issues can help me out here? Thanks

    Bermrunner12 for the DB008 and DF037 error please see Installation, launch log errors | CS5, CS5.5, CS6, CCM - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/installation-launch-log-errors-creative.html.
    The DF031 error can indicate a required file was either not available or the attributes for the file could not be read.
    Make sure when reviewing your install log that you start at the bottom of the log file.  If those errors are not reflected in the latest installation then they may have occurred under the compromised user account as opposed to the newly created Administrator account you later experienced a successful installation attempt.

  • Error message (13013) when opening iTunes

    Can anyone help with this enquiry. I amm trying to open iTunes but the following error message pops up when I do this: "the iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (13013)". I have been able to unistall & reinstall iTunes but am unable to open it. Help please.

    A couple of things to try.
    Try deleting "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" from your iTunes folder.
    If that doesn't work, try rebuilding your library.
    With iTunes closed, drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Library.xml out of you iTunes folder to your desktop.
    Then try opening iTunes, if iTunes opens, you will have an empty library, then you can import iTunes Library.xml.
    There are instructions here:

    Any help you could give would be awesome!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried something like the above then try opening iTunes in safe mode (press and hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases. You may find that iTunes opens normally now.
