Itunes 7....error (-200)?

Itunes will not come up and I keep getting this error. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling to no avail. Thx

the -200 is generally caused by a broken QuickTime. (itunes needs a properly functioning QT to work properly.)
let's try swapping out your QuickTime.
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove 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?

  • My ITunes has error (-200) and cannot open

    I tried to open my iTunes and got a notice saying it couldn't be opened because of error -200.  Does anyone know what this means and how I can fix this issue?

    Heyy,

    You need to update it or uninstall it and re-instal it.

  • 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.

    This error is usually caused by "Old" Quicktime files the installer does not remove or is blocked from removing/Modifing/updating.
    Make sure antivirus and security programs are disabled when you try to install the stand alone version of quicktime.
    Try COMPLETELY removing iTUnes AND quicktime by going here and following all steps for removing, Especailly "Clean up iTunes installer files on the computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976 (Don't follow steps for downloading and reinstalling yet)
    Scan the system for adware/spyware with your adware scaner or Ewido http://www.ewido.com Sometimes adware interferes with itunes install.
    Install iTunes with antivirus disabled

  • Itunes doesn't open, error -200

    I'm having a problem similar to what I've seen other people mentioning here, except when the itunes icon bounces, after a minute this message pops up: The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occured. (-200).
    I had this problem today after opening iTunes for the first time in a few weeks. I decided to see if downloading iTunes again would help, but its still doing exactly the same thing with the new iTunes.
    I noticed something about disabling iTunes in shapeshifter, but I don't have shapeshifter.
    Help?
    thanks!

    Usually that error -200 code indicates you've got a damaged QuickTime (iTunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback), but with later versions of the software (7.0.2.16 or higher) it will most commonly display as an "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration" message.
    The following document is the best place to start with it:
    iTunes 7 for Windows: iTunes has detected an audio configuration problem

  • ITunes will not launch, Error -200. Sounds works just fine.

    I've recently upgraded to Lion and have been using iTunes just fine until early this week. When clicking on the iTunes icon, it bounces and then the -200 Error pops up. I've googled on solutions to this and everything I've read so far points to a hardware error, mainly that there is no audio output availabe. Also many people reporting this error have also said that their QuickTime hasn't worked either. I'm really confused about this because my sound has been working with no problems and I've been able to watch videos on QuickTime as well. I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, still would not open.  Any ideas on what the problem could be?

    I am having the same trouble. Just upgraded to Lion, now I'm getting error (-200) when I try to open it. Sound otherwise works fine.

  • HT1338 my itunes will not start up, keep getting a error -200. How do I correct?

    My itunes will not open, I keep getting "error -200". How can I correct this?

    The quote below is from a previous thread where several people solved your same problem with the stated technique. Maybe it will work for you. Good Luck.
    iTunes 7.0.2 FIX.........Have tried all 'fixes' suggested but iTunes STILL not opening
    1. Uninstall iTunes and Quicktime.
    2. Do a search in the C:\ drive for "QuickTime". Delete EVERYTHING that pops up.
    3. Restart the computer.
    4. Install QUICKTIME ONLY
    5. THEN install iTunes......and IT WORKS.....Just remember to install Quicktime FIRST.

  • Unable to open iTunes, Error (-200)

    I've never had any trouble with iTunes or my iPod before...until after I updated RealPlayer and Quicktime last night. This morning I got the error message (-200) when I tried to open iTunes. I suspect one of those updates messed with iTunes but don't know how to fix it. Any ideas out there?

  • ITunes error -200

    I cannot start iTunes. Every time I attempt to start it up I receive an" unknown error (-200)". Any ideas.?
    I reinstalled iTUnes 10 and deleted plists. Still the same problem.

    I'm dealing with this error today. I forgot to plug in my Macbook and the computer died. Every time my computer is turned off any other way than asking for a restart/shut down (ie out of power, pushing the power button for 3 seconds), I get the multi-language error at startup. I have to keep trying combinations of using the install disk, not using the disc, holding "d" or option, until finally it boots, I login, and the error screen doesn't show up.
    Today is the first time the sound hasn't worked for anything other than the startup chime. I don't hear the volume up and down sound, iTunes won't open, and I can't hear online videos and sounds. I was able to open Garageband, and I loaded a guitar lesson, but I couldn't hear the guy talking.
    If the audio/logic board was fried, how would I be able to hear the startup chime?
    There has to be a easy way to fix this.

  • Error (-200) when trying to open Itunes

    I've recently come across a problem with my Itunes, when I try to open it I get an unknown error (-200) message. While trying to figure out how to fix it I stumbled upon an article posted on the apple support page that shows how to fix this problem for windows, however I don't know how to translate that to OS X 10.4.8. I really need help with this one...I can only go so long with out my Itunes!!!

    Error -200 means: "Required sound hardware not available [no hardware support for the specified synthesizer]"
    The problem will almost certainly be solved by an Archive and Install.
    Before doing that, try if (re)-running the latest Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update (PPC) solves the problem.
    On a 10.2.x system, running the latest combo-update fixed it, as you can read here, so maybe that will do the trick also on 10.4.8.
    Hope this helps.

  • Itunes, 1606 error;

    Hi. My thinking, feeling is that, maybe, there's something up, with/in - C:\Documents and Settings, C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService or C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService; I mean there's the All users and Compaq Owner, but per Sun Java's recent error: 2753 - regutils.dll, iTune's error: 1606 - cannot locate local network location, and CA (Computer Associate's antivirus/antispyware) Internet Suite - error 9035 unable to store license key (which I may add is good for me - until 2010), thus, can not complete install. I already ran Windows Install cleanup, and uh, no, this has nothing to do with Norton as I don't have any fully installed Norton program on my pc/computer. Can any of you kindly look over/review the following "Belarc" computer profile, and (maybe) determine a possible course of action I may take, as I just want to be able to
    a) Re-install iTunes/Quicktime/Bonjour/Apple updater, (as I want to get back to listening to iTunes radio's jazz section - The Grooveyard, my sole favorite).
    b) installer Sun Java's 6.13 and 6.14 version (update's), which I need clearly for more reason's than one.
    c) and get CA (Computer Associate's antivirus/antispyware) Internet Suite reinstalled back on my pc/computer (which I can do), via email link to download, as right now I'm in risk, as to not having any 'protection', and Time Warner Cable (my net service is going to refer me to CA anyway).

  • Error -200 and no sound except start-up tone

    After playing sound over headset my macbook won't play any sounds except the start sound. Furthermore my Itunes won't start anymore and I've got the error -200 ... any help?

    i'm not sure exactly how to restore your original sounds however if you go to control panel->sounds->then the sound tab. it shows all the sounds used for different applications.. i think there is a restore to default at the bottum. you can do that or manually change the sound it makes.
    hope this helps a little.
