  • Itunes wont open, I get "itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50)"

    I'm on Windows 7 - using itunes daily without problems and suddenly itunes wont open, I get "itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50)"  The only thing I can think is I think there was a download in progress when I shut down the computer.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalled, but I get the same thing. I tried clearing the itunes folder and reinstalling, same thing. help!

    Doublechecking. When you did the complete uninstall, were you using the following document as a guide?
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    (If damaged program files are involved here, a standard install might not remove them, and a reinstall might not then replace them. So the Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled section is an important step.)

  • ITunes application could not be opened.  An unknown error occurred (0x666D7

    Been using iTunes 6 and 6.5 for months and months on my computer. Upgraded to 7.0. Installs just fine. No errors, no issues.
    At the end, it asks if it can launch iTunes 7.0 and I click okay. I get this:
    The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (0x666D743F).
    Apple, HELP!!!! I can't use iTunes at all!!!! I'd be willing to reinstall 6 or 6.5 if I could find it somewhere.
    Can someone please help?

    This happened to me as well. I uninstalled iTunes 7 and tried again: nothing. I uninstalled iTunes 7 and Quicktime and tried again: nothing. I uninstalled everything and ran a third-party program called CCleaner to find registry entries that were not removed by the uninstallation and then reinstalled: nothing. Did all that and add a reboot after CCleaner before reinstalling: nothing. Downgraded back to iTunes 6.0.5 and it worked fine. Re-upgraded to iTunes 7, failure.
    For those who may need it, you can download iTunes 6.0.5 from apple.com here: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes605forwindows.html

  • The itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-42023)

    I have just tried to open iTunes and keep getting the message "the itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-42023)".  I've tried deleting and reinstalling iTunes, still with the same error. I've tried restoring iTunes from Time Machine, still with the same error.  The error message appears to refer to an error downloading a purchase but I haven't made a purchase.
    Every fix seems to start with "step 1:- open iTunes" but I can't do that as I just get the error message.
    I'm running OSX 10.6.8 on a core duo iMac, was using iTunes 11.0.2.  All software up to date accoring to software updater.  I haven't made any software updates since the last successful access of iTues and getting this error.

    Here's an article that lists error -42023 twice and therefore may be helpful:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
    I believe these are the appropriate actions (from the above article):
    Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
    Mac OS X:
  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads 
    Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
    After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
    Quit iTunes.
    Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password.

    If you want to solve your problems, unjailbreak. And don't do it again, because jailbreaking causes problems as you read about in that article. You can try Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • I plug my iphone 5s into my macbook pro, itunes says: The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (1723).

    Every time I plug my iPhone 5s (32 GB) into my macbook pro, iTunes says: The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (1723). And none of my recently bought songs or my ringtones will transfer to my iPhone. I have iOS 8.1.2. I have only had this iPhone for about a month and a half. A week ago when I plugged it in it would say something along the lines of " This iPhone cannot be synced because the Photo library is not set up. Please try again later." What does that even mean? And now it is saying that it can't sync because of an unknown error. Well, how do I fix this? I have not yet downloaded the Yosemite update because it got horrible reviews and everyone I've talked to said their computer has gotten extra slow because of it so I was wondering if I need to download Yosemite so my iPhone will sync. I have tried turning my computer on and off, quitting and reopening iTunes, restarting my iPhone, and nothing has worked. I would really like to be able to transfer my music and ringtones etc. onto my phone.
    Thanks you!

    You have told us you have iOS 8.1.2, and a non-current version of OS X   Do you also have an old iTunes?  Current is 12.0.1.  I'm quite certain iTunes 12 is required to sync with iOS 8.
    The current iPhoto version is 9.6.  You are probably behind there as well, and that likely caused the first "photo ..." error.  As you may know, iOS is changing its approach to managing photos in iOS 8, so I would imagine it would be important to be current with this application.

    Hi pholewinski!
    I have a couple of articles for you here that I believe will help you with this issue. The first is an article on advanced troubleshooting, and it can be found here:
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3297
    If following that article's steps doesn't take care of the issue, you can try the things listed in this article, which is about permissions issues in iTunes:
    iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization

    I feel for you -
    When I installed the 8.0.1 patch on my iMac, I noticed that iTunes quit working correctly after importing some new tracks. It would not quit. I had to force quit but then it would not open correctly the next time and it would not quit. From that point on, my computer went down hill. When I installed the latest security patch and executed a reboot, the system would not come up. I used my 10.5 DVD and repaired permissions, etc. Nothing worked. I booted off my backup drive and everything works fine.
    Even on my backup drive iTunes will not come up. I don't get an error but the Dock icon says "Application Not Responding". I renamed the iTunes folder and it created a new one on initial startup but it just hangs. I deleted iTunes, rebooted, re-installed iTunes and have the same thing.
    Tonight I experienced the same issue with iTunes not quitting on my MacBook Pro !

  • I cannot open my Itunes? I keep getting this message: "The Itunes app could not be opened. An unknown error occurred. (-50) Help! I have also tried to uninstall and reinstall, but get the message that ITunes.msi cannot be found.

    Why am I getting this message when I try to open my ITunes: "The Itunes app could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50)."?

    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

  • Why does itunes give an error saying " The Iphone cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (-50). Everytime I try to sync my phone?

    Why does itunes give an error saying " The Iphone cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (-50)". Everytime I try to sync my phone? I have another Iphone that syncs with the same itunes account and it's working fine.

  • The iTunes library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-50).

    I launch iTunes, I get "Updating iTunes library" and then, "The iTunes library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-50)." This started happening after I upgraded to iTunes 7.3. Things seem to work OK, but my artwork was rearranged in coverflow, and it seems to take much longer to get music videos to come up in Frontrow. This is a problem because my 2 1/2 year old doesn't like to wait for his Chili Pepper videos. What do I need to fix?

  • The itunes library file cannot be saved. An Unknown error occurred (-1450)

    Greetings,
    I'm getting the following error:
    The itunes library file cannot be saved. An Unknown error occurred (-1450)
    I have uninstalled/reinstalled Itunes twice including deleting the old databases. After importing my old songs I get the above error continuously and when I restart Itunes my songs are no longer listed in Itunes.
    One thing, all the folders on my computer or now "Read-Only" I can't get rid of this. I uncheck it and aply the change but when I check the properties for the folder again Read-Only is selected again. This is a funny read-only in that the check in the box selecting read-only is ghosted but still there AND WONT GO AWAY.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    i did move the music library folder to a shared documents folder, but I'm the only one who uses that folder. and the hard drive is not full, almost, but still 10 gigs left for use. itunes was working fine, and then one time when it started up it said the there were missing files, and that itunes had to be reinstalled. I looked but could not see any missing files. nothing bad has happened.it cant be a virius, because i have not been on the internet at all in the last month. but i did use CCleaner to clean out my hard drive of unnecessary files , not the first time i have, and then itunes did not work, this has never happened after I've done this so i doubt that CC was the prolbem. I looked at all of the files it was going to delete, and none of them were related to itunes.

  • Error message: The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-54).

    I opened iTunes and downloaded 2 songs from http://www.reverbnation.com. Shortly after I started getting this error message: The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-54). Anyone dealt with this before?

    == Error -54 ==
    From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)
    First, try simply restarting your computer.

  • ITunes could not copy [song title] because an unknown error occurred (-54)

    For the past month or so I've been unable to sync it with iTunes. When I do, it starts but after a few hundred songs, I get the error that "itunes could not copy [song title] because an unknown error occurred (-54). When I click OK, it then says "synching" but nothing is actually happening, and the only way to even get my browser working again is to restart my pc. I have deleted the song in question, but it will just do it again with a different song. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes to the most recent version, reset the iPod Touch numerous times, As well as deleting the iTunes files off of my computer and reloading all the muisc to it. To make things more interesting, it does all of this on my laptop pc as well as my desktop. Now. all of this may have started before upgrading the software, but that was the last time in months that I tried to sync it, so there may or not be a correlatoin there.
    Any help is greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance.
