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.

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 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.

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.

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,
I do (:
You need to update it or uninstall it and re-instal it.

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.

Error (-200) // unable to open iTunes

I have encountered an error trying to open itunes and I cannot find any support on the apple site. The error is (-200) and it prevents me from openning the application altogether.
I have tried updating the software, deleting the application and re-installing, deleting the prefs, running disk utility (repairing permissions) – all to no avail.
Help anyone...?

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.

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.)

Unknow error (-200) after installing 7

Can anyone tell me what unknown error (-200) is and how to correct it. Since I have installed ver 7, i have not been able to access itunes. I get this error message every time I try to run the progam....please help..Thanks

There are two causes that I know of for this.
1. You are running remotely from a different system
and have it set up to play audio locally.
2. You have TotalRecorder or Volume Logic or some
other plug-in. Remove all plugins from your iTunes
plugin folder.
3. You have something else that is trying to
redirect your sound.
im having this problem too on my PC...
i have tried the solutions that i can understand.
the audio in QT is also crackling
its not number 1, cos remote desktop is not enabled on my PC. Unless the settings of RDT can overwrite this somehow...
2. as far as i know, i dont have any of this... i have uninstalled 1 codec that i had added to WMP, but that didn't fix it... i am pretty sure i don't have anything else like that...
3. what could this be? i don't understand this one
the only other problem that i could think of is that the PC is too slow.. it fits the requirements for iT 7, but only just...

ITunes error message - "video format is not supported by the iPad" My video is mp4, mpeg-4.

When syncing my iPad 2.... Why do I get this iTunes error message? "video format is not supported by the iPad"
My video is mp4, another is mpeg-4.
I thought the iPad 2 could play almost any format.

Must conform to these specs:
Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
Or download an alternate video player,such as avplayerhd.

ITunes error 7 (windows 127) VideoToolbox.dll

I have uninstalled, reinstalled, tried installing the videotoolbox.dll file seperately, and looked up just about everything i can find but nothing matches my exact problem or fixes it. When I try to open itunes i get 2 error messages. The first reads:
"The procedure entry point kVTCompressionPropertyKey_ThrottleForBackground could not be located in the dynamic link library VideoToolbox.dll"
After I click ok I get another pop up saying:
"iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes
Error 7 (Windows error 127)"
Can anyone help me fix this?
Thank you
P.S. I am running Windows 7 64-bit
