ITunes 10.5 fails to copy new Podcasts / Unknown error occurred -69

I have upgraded to iTunes 10.5.0.142 and my iPhone to iOS 5.0
Since then I have downloaded Podcasts to thie Winows 7 Ultimate PC without problems... but I can't update my iPhone with any new Podcasts.  My iPod Nano also fails.  Each time iTunes tries to sync it (after a couple of minutes) displays the error message "Unknown Error Occurred (-69)" and then a new podcast is listed.  If I delete this particular Podcast and attempt another sync, iTunes fails with the same message but (obviously) pointing a finger at a different Podcast.
If I untick all new Podcasts, the sync works perfectly.
I have ... reset my Ipod, reformatted it, deleted and re downloaded podcasts.  I have also run a windows scan on the disk in question.
I don't believe in co-incidences and don't believe (a) my disk has un recoverable read errors for blocks downloaded since I upgraded to iTunes 10.5 nor (b) that both my iPhone and iPod have chosen this exact moment to die.
B u t ... my concern is... why isn't anyone else complaining about this issue?

I believe I have overcome the problem.  I removed, re-downloaded and re-installed both iTunes and Quicktime.  This allowed me to sync new podcasts downloaded after I did these re-installs.
This left me in the position that I could syn "old" podcasts, sync "new" podcats but the sync still failed on podcasts downloaded during the week bewteen the first installation of iTunes 10.5 and the re-installation... the un-syncables.
Here I just gave up: I deleted every podcast in this un-syncable group and re-downloaded them.  Result?  Happiness.
One other point: the un-syncable group podcasts took an inordinate amount of time after downloading while the screen displayed "Processing file".  This could take (literally) a minute instead of the normal second.
While I realise it must be very difficult for Apple to debug a problem effecting half a dozen customers out of tens of millions, I think Apple could/should enhance the message "Unknown error -69" to better explain what has gone wrong and what should be done to solve the problem.

  • While downloading podcasts to my library, I am getting the message, "the iTunes Library file cannot be saves. An unknown error occured (-54)." Any idea of what is going on?

    While downloading podcasts to my library, I am getting the message, "the iTunes Library file cannot be saves. An unknown error occured (-54)." Any idea of what is going on?
    Thanks.

    The problem went away on its own. Not sure what was the problem but perhaps somehow the system was out sync internally due installing Lion 10.7.3/Snow Leopard 10.6.8/10.7/10.7.3 with iTunes 6 installing after the 10.7.3 and then needing to be installed again after the second 10.7.3 install from the updater model.
    I kept accepting the error message and checking iTunes music file. No podcast downloads were actually rejected.

  • ITunes application could not be opened.  An unknown error occurred (13014)

    Ysterday I bought a brand spanking new Acer Aspire 7551 laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium and installed the latest version of iTunes (64 bit) on it.
    I started iTunes with great anticipation because I so looked forward to syncing my iPhone with my Very Own Laptop.
    Alas, iTunes did not start. Instead I received a message "the itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (13014)." Much Googling and reinstalling later the problem remains.
    I have already deleted the genius files and rebooted several times. All to no avail. If anyone can propose a solution, I would be most grateful. Needless to say, I'd be happy to post any further info that can help to solve this problem.

    Okay fixed my own problem. I don't know how or why, but it appears that I lost permissions for my iTunes folder in documents and settings. It took some messing with file permissions to get access to delete it, but I finally got it.
    Once it was gone, no more issue. iTunes launched, created a new iTunes folder, and good as new.

    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 !

  • Help with "The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-54)"

    Hi,
    Has anyone else had this problem?  And how do I correct it?  "The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-54)"

    I was having this issue as well, after doing two things: updating iTunes yesterday, and installing and running ClamXav, a Mac antivirus tool.
    I have now fixed the issue, first I made sure that I had the proper permissions for iTunes and it's library folders. Then I completely removed ClamXav and all its related files and restarted iTunes.  Now I no longer get this error when adding new media to iTunes or updating apps, and the library file saves fine.  For some reason I think it was related to the antivirus software.
    I think it was a coincidence as ClamXav only modifies permissions on the files it installs and none of those are anywhere near your iTunes folders, but I'm glad you got it working.

  • 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.)

  • The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50)

    Today, I downloaded the latest version of Itunes.
    When it finished installing it came up with the following error:
    "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 127)". I have uninstalled iTunes, and all related Apple software and re-installed iTunes several times and still I get the same error.
    I contacted Apple support and was sent two emails. One detailing what needed to be uninstalled and then a web site to go to where I could download and install Microsoft's latest .NET Framework, which apparently was the root cause of the problem.
    I did as instructed:Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
    1.iTunes
    2.QuickTime
    3.Apple Software Update
    4.Apple Mobile Device Support
    5.Bonjour
    6.Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later).
    Restarted the PC and then downloaded the latest version of Microsoft's .NET Framework - version 4.
    Restarted the PC again and received a strange message from some Apple application I have never heard of stating "CoreFoundation.dll file is missing".
    I GOOGLEd the message and found out I also needed to unistall another Apple application called MobileMe. So, I did this and restarted the PC again!
    I then downloaded the latest version of iTunes, again.
    Now I'm getting "The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50).
    From checking through GOOGLE, I believe it's something to do with user accounts and iTunes not being able to find the music folder???? But the answers I found all relate to Windows 64 pit PC's.
    I am running Windows 7, 32 bit on a Sony Vaio laptop.
    I cannot get support from Apple as I don't own a MAC. But I do own an iPhone but it's out of warranty.
    HELP !!!!
    Can anybody please help me?
    Thx

    If you go to the web page "http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923" and follow the "Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled" it does the trick. There are few other folders and files that alos need to be deleted!
    iTunes is now working.

  • 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.

    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

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • The iTunes Library could not be saved.  An unknown error occurred -50

    I moved my itunes to an external drive that I am accessing wirelessly (it is pugged into by time capsule).  When I open itunes I can see and access all of my songs and videos fine but I keep getting the error message "The itunes library could not be saved.  An unknown error occurred -50".  This must have something to do with moving itunes to the external drive but I can't figure out how to stop this message.  I am running itunes 10.4.1 on Mac OS 10.7.1.
