IPhone unknown error (-200)

Hello Apple.
When I try to open up iTunes in my MacBook Pro, it says that it cannot launch because of a unknown error called -200.
I don't know what this is, and I don't think that there are any solution articles for this error.
Here's a screenshot:
Any solutions to this error?
Thanks!

Unknown error (-200) when i start v7

i can't open itunes v7 because of this "unknown error (-200)".
and if i revert to v 6.0.5 i'm having lots of problems as well (that i didn't have before this GRMBL version 7)!
what is this unknown error (-200) and what can i do? i've been looking all over the web and on the apple site, can't find anything about it... help me out please!
thanks

i can't open itunes v7 because of this "unknown error (-200)".
that can be associated with a damaged QuickTime. (itunes needs a fully functional QuickTime in order to work.)
so let's first try a careful standalone QT 7.1.3 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1.3 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 7.1.3 Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention itunes
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 could not sync ^0 to the iPhone Unknown Error(-19) during 2.1 update

iTunes could not sync ^0 to the iPhone Unknown Error (-19) during 2.1 update
Anybody getting this? On a Win XP iTunes 8/ iPhone 3G
Thanks for any help!

I got this message. After several hours of frustration...
I finally did a successful update by following various recommendations in this thread.
Maybe all or only a combination were necessary:
1) Deleted my backups. This DOES appear to be necessary, I noticed that the update was always failing when the update was going through the backup process. It was only after I deleted my backups that the update finally worked. To do this, in iTunes go to Edit > Preferences. Click on the Devices tab. Click on (select) the iPhone in the window. Click on the "Delete Backup" button.
2) Disable automatic syncing for the iPhone (don't know if this was necessary but it's one of the steps I took)
3) Make sure all your Apps are updated before trying the iPhone update. (Again I don't know if this was necessary but I did it). I updated my apps over wi-fi from the iPhone rather than via iTunes.
Important!!!!! After you run the update there will be no backup of your iPhone. You need to create a new one. To do this, right click (option-click) on your iPhone in the "Devices" list of iTunes. Select "Back Up" from the context menu.
Hope this helps!!!!

Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes. You can download it from here -> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If that doesn't work, check out this Apple article -> iOS: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting to a Windows PC

Itunes 7- Unknown Error (-200)

Everytime I try to start Itunes I get the message An. Unknown error occured (-200). I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the ituens program any suggestions?

BSkeeter48,
I would like to try a few things. Roy has mentioned wanting some more information about this issue.
Would you mind working with me to help us track down the cause?
Hopefully you are.
If you open the Quicktime player do you get the same error?
Which anti-virus software are you running? Are you running any anti-spyware software or pop-up blockers?
Next I would like to have you reinstall iTunes 7 and have it make a log of the install process.
1. Open a commnd prompt window. (Start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return.)
2. Drag and drop iTunesSetup.exe onto the window so that the full pathname of the file is at the command line prompt.
3. Type in a space, then the following line:
/l*v C:\log.txt
4. Hit return.
5. The installer will create a log file:
C:\log.txt
Open iTunes, and see if you get the same error still. If you don't great its fixed, and we are almost done.
Take the answer to these questions, and send an email to Roy. Attach the log.txt file that was created to the email. When you go to attach the log, you should be able to select your hard disk (C:) and have log.txt right there.
If it was not fixed, come back here, let me know you have done the steps above including sending the email, and I have a few more steps I would like to have you try.

ITunes unknown error (-200) (and others)

Just switched from a iPod mini to an older 20 gig. Tried to sync it. iTunes crashed. Made me reformat the iPod. Lost all music on it. Also, no audio was playing. Told me to update iTunes. (thinking it would solve the sync issue) I did. iTunes wont open because of quote...
"an unknown error occurred (-200)."
So I tried updating quicktime. Didn't work. Now audio wont work for QT player either.
I have tried past versions of iTunes and they wont load either (same error).
So now I have 2 empty iPods, and a computer that will not play audio or let me load my iPod. (websounds and other apps still work so it isnt the speakers themselves).
Any help on any of these things would be great. And spell it out please I'm not too keen on the procedures here.

Also, I have not moved any files since updating. Still won't do anything.

ITunes won't open, unknown error (-200)

I'm on a G5 running OS 10.4.6. Unexpectedly my iTunes stopped opening(latest version 6.4). When trying to open it, it immediately quits and this message appears:
"The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-200)."
ALSO, the sound on my computer has stopped working, with the exception of the start-up chime. Both of these problems started to occur at the same time (and out of nowhere as I've done nothing different or unusual.)
I have run Diskwarrior (which fixed a bunch of other files and directories!) and have also run the MAC Disc Repair successfully. I have also deleted and reinstalled iTunes three times. However, I still get the same error message and no sound (except for start-up). All of my other programs work fine.
I'm frustrated and out of ideas! Help please!
Thank you,

Error code -200 means:
noHardware - Required sound hardware not available [no hardware support for the specified synthesizer]
The hardware still works, as you wrote "the sound on my computer has stopped working, with the exception of the start-up chime. "
I'm no expert on these kind of problems, but it looks to me, a driver is missing or corrupted.
You could try to fix it by (re-)running the latest OS X 10.4.6 combo-update.
This will sometimes fix problems.
If that fails, you might have to do an Archive and Install. More hints about that feature here
Before doing all that, it could be wise to post a question in the Using Mac OS X Tiger forum.
There are some very knowledgeable people answering questions there.
Maybe someone has a simple solution.
Hope this helps.

Iphone Unknown Error 40 stuck in recovery mode

Hi,
My question is... if my iphone is stuck in recovery mode and I return it to the shop I bought it from and they give me my money back/replace it etc, if they then do get the phone to work will they be able to see all my data/photos/messages etc? Or will it only restore personal data if the phone is restored from my itunes?
I updated my Iphone 4 via Itunes yesterday and it's now stuck in recovery mode, every time I try to restore the phone it gets to "waiting for iphone" then Unknown error 40 appears.
I have tried the suggestions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
I am going to take it to the apple store genius next week, but first am returning it to the shop I bought it from as they want to see if they can fix it (it was unlocked when I bought it, they claimed it was an apple unlocked phone but I am concerned it was in fact unlocked by them and this is why I am having problems). Hence my question being, will they be able to restore it to my data without access to my itunes to back it up from? Will it just be a factory setting reset if they fix it (which I'd prefer)?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Fkaram,
Sorry to say I haven't found a solution (after hours of searching!) and have bought an android moto g. The only difference from yours is that I replaced the dock connector as I kept getting error 4014, which turned it on after being off for three weeks, and then went to error 40.
If you haven't got a warranty, I can only suggest replacing the dock connector. Its cheap (£5) and pretty easy to fix. I only tried this because changing the leads didn't work, but I kept getting the faulty leads error (4014+40)
Good luck!
ps - check for any bent pins or if there is a red/coloured light in the connector itself. I didn't see any bent pins so was lucky the replacement actually did something

Unknown error -200... HELP!!

when i first installed iTunes 7 onto my computer, it worked fine. But then i did a system restore, and when i tried to open it again, a message popped up saying, The iTunes application cannot be opened. An unknown error occurred (-200). I tried reinstalling it and restarting my comptuer atleast a dozen times, but it still wont work. Help me please!

To install 6.0 from 7.0 see:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=640502&tstart=0
or just uninstall and install it(if you haven't done so)
remember to restart your computer

Itunes cannot start - unknown error 200.

What should I try next?
Thanks,

Turns out a good old restart fixed it

ITunes Not Working (Unknown Error -200)

After a power outage I rebooted my computer and clicked the iTunes icon. An error box appeared reading "The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred. (-200)"
I then downloaded the latest version of iTunes (7.1.1.5) and tried reinstalling but a little after half way through the installation another error came up. It said "Error writing to file C:\Program Files\iPod\bin\iPodService.Resources\zh_CN.lproj\iPodServiceLocalized.dll. Verify that you have access to that directory."
Please help, I desperatly need my iTunes :[.

hmmmm. the first one (the -200) is typically caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (on 7.0.2.16 and higher versions, it shows up as an "itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration" message.)
but the second one is a problem with a language resource amongst your itunes program files.
those are typically caused by damaged files, and damaged files can also cause QuickTime problems. so first let's try running a chkdsk over your C: drive.
for instructions (and/or guided help) see:
How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? if so, does the itunes 7.1.1.5 install go through properly? if so, does iTunes launch properly, or do you start getting an "audio configuration" message when you try to launch it?

Downladed ituens 7 but unknown error -200 pops up when i click on it?

I downloaded itunes 7 recently but when i click on it it comes up with "unknown error occured -200".
What can i do to prevent this and enter itunes?

I have a very similar problem with iTunes 7.
I downloaded it a few days ago and everything was working fine until this morning when I got an error message:
"The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (0x666D743F)."
Since then I have tried reinstalling it but that didn't help either. Just incase it helps, I have an iPod Nano (software version 1.2) which was also working fine with iTunes 7 until today.
Any help greatfully accepted!
