Fresh install of iTunes doesn't work(unknown error -50)
I just installed iTunes 7.0.2 via the software update and after the agreeing to the software license agreement this happens:
The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred(-50)
Repairing software permissions didn't solve the problem. Reinstalling doesn't work. Quiting everything else and then try to start it doesn't work either. I then deleted everything that had iTunes in it and reinstalled the app. Still a no go.
The weird thing is, the other accounts are able to start iTunes and move through the setup process(search for iTunes library, music store), so there is something wrong with my account that doesn't make iTunes run properly.
How do I get iTunes to run? It's too quiet in here.
17" Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)
When I click on the symbol top left on the sreen, with left mousebutton, a popupmenu shows.
I select menu > awesome > manual : nothing happens
I select menu > open terminal : nothing happens
I tried shortcut keys too....
Windows + Enter > nothing happens?
Thx for the help!

itunes doesn't work anymore
My itunes was working fine until we try to connect a new ipod touch. It said I needed to update the itunes to 10.5 or higher. To do that I had to update my OS X Lion also.. now it doesn work... grrrr. Please if you have the solution post. I am placing a call to apple support to see if they can help me. Also I was looking for alternative software in case I can't make it work. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you and I am sorry I cant be helpful yet.

Itunes doesn't work on windows 8.1
after the upgrade to windows 8.1 (I have a HP Henvy H9 x64), itunes doesn't work. I unistalled all the apple software; I restarted the PC and then I installed again itunes (the last version 11.1.5 x64). When the installation finish and I start itunes give me this error "impossible to find the file c:\program files (x86)\itunes\itunes.exe". Verify that the filename is correct and try again.".
Somebody could help me? ThanksHello Lorenzo 1972,
It sounds like you are unable to open iTunes even after a fresh install with the error that it cannot find the iTunes.exe file. That path, c:\program files (x86)\itunes\itunes.exe leads to the 32 bit program folder for iTunes. If you are using a shortcut you had on the desktop pre install, try going to C:\program files\itunes\ and finding the iTunes.exe file there.
If not it sounds like iTunes may be installing a damaged copy of the 32 bit version of the application, so I would recommend the following article to help you get any old installation files out so you can install the 64 bit version fresh:

iTunes doesn't work. When I open it, it takes forever, and then I just get the pinwheel. And, the rest of my computer is frozen. I've erased the iTunes preferences. I've opened an older library, and it's still totally gummed up.
This all started when I tried to update my wife's iPhone. I was in the middle of downloading the update, but then I cancelled because we had to leave. When I returned home, iTunes was messed up.
Help!!Let's try swapping out your QuickTime one more time, taking a few additional explicit precautions this time:
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now? -
i have a 64 bit windows 7 and i have itunes 11 on it . itunes doesn't work as properly as one on 32 bit windows 7 .
When requesting assistance, please provide the complete model name and/or product number of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq makes thousands of models of computers that are all different. Without this information it may be difficult or impossible to assist you in resolving your issue.
The above requested information can be found on the side, back, or bottom of your computer.
Most driver packages available from most computer manufacturers and chipset providers contain setup information for both 32 and 64 bit operating systems. The installer determines the version to install based on the indentified operating system. This is an industry wide pratice and nothing is wrong.

I have a Windows 7 system. ITunes used to work fine. Recently I am getting a message:
"ITunes has detected a problem with your audio configuation. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly."
I have reloaded and repaired ITunes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime. Nothing works.
Itunes doesn't work any more on my machine. Anybody?Hey there bogusss,
I would recommend the troubleshooting steps from this article named:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot run because it detects an issue with QuickTime
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1371
If this issue occurs with iTunes 7.0.2 - 7.6, customers may instead see this error message:
"iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration"
If this occurs with iTunes 7.0 or 7.0.1, customers may instead see a -200 error when opening iTunes 7.
Resolution
QuickTime may need to be reinstalled. Follow the steps below to uninstall QuickTime and then download and install QuickTime using the QuickTime standalone Installer.
On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
Windows XP and Windows 2000: Open the Add or Remove Programs control panel and selectQuickTime in the list of currently installed programs.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Uninstall a program (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click Programs and Features) and select QuickTime in the list of currently installed programs.
Click the Remove button (or Uninstall for Windows Vista and Windows 7) and follow the prompts to remove QuickTime from your computer.
Download QuickTime. Note: There are two options for downloading QuickTime, be sure to select the option that does not include iTunes.
During the download:
If you choose to run the installer, proceed to the next step.
If you choose to save the download, double click the QuickTimeInstaller file, then proceed to next step.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install QuickTime.
Reopen iTunes.

On upgrading iPhone 4 to ios 6 using iTunes, it returned an unknown error then froze completely with the iTunes icon and USB connector on the screen. Reset didn't work. iTunes doesn't recognize the devise anymore.
if your computer is not recognizing it, try using a different USB port or different usb cable. if that doesnt work you will need to uninstall and reinstall itunes.

Creating a new library with 'Shift/Start iTunes' doesn't work
I'm trying to start a new library, but pressing Shift when I start itunes doesn't work. It takes me to my existing library.
I've uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled, and completely deleted any other libraries.
Any ideas how I can start a new library any other way?Thanks, that didn't work the first time but did work the second.
Perhaps I wasn't holding the shift key long enough - you presumably must keep holding it until the 'choose library' dialog actually pops up. I was releasing it after I'd clicked the 'start itunes' button. -

After upgrade to IOS 8.3 sync with iTunes doesn't work
After upgrade iPhone 6, iPad Air to IOS 8.3, the sync (over wifi, as well) to iTunes doesn't work anymore.
On iMAC iTunes, the last sync's hour and day appear different from what is recorded on mobile devices (iPhone and iPad); with IOS 8.2 and the previous iTunes' version the sync worked correctly: the dates are the same only for few seconds after syncronization, then the IOS devices show the syncronization's dates related to two weeks ago.
Thanksyou'll need to contact your carrier.

Updated my iPhone 4s to 6.0.1 and iTunes on my mac to 7.0 now itunes doesn't work
Updated my iPhone 4s to 6.0.1 and iTunes on my iMac to 7.0 now iTunes doesn't work. My iMac and iPhone will not sync. It just says waiting to start sync, step 1 of 6 for hours.
Any ideas?Do not take it to a third party repair shop - downgrading causes problems and voids your warranty.
I had to unlock it so that i could really use it as a phone.
And that is the root of the problem. Unless you had your carrier unlock it, it was hacked and cannot be legitimately activated. Even if you don't care about warranty or problems, downgrading simply will not help an activation issue. -
Now that iTunes doesn't work, how will we be able to receive future updates that corrects this problem ?
The problem is on the PC with Windows 7... where iTunes doesn't work anymore.
