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.

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.)

In the article Resolve iOS update and restore errors this is what it says about error 14:
Check your USB connections
Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4005, 4013, 4014, or “invalid response."
If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you may be unable to update or restore.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
Try a different computer.
If necessary, resolve any further issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
If you're still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section.

Try and force iPod into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPod
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

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

Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

or here:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

Unknown error 1417 and 1418?

Help! I've installed an iPOD nano, previously used an iPod mini. It recognises the nano but can't download any msuic. Reinstal and Restore failed with unknown error 1417 and 1418. I've uninstalled old iTunes and iPod software and downloaded the latest iTunes and it still doesn't work -also noticed that the old name for the iPOD mini has been tranferred to the iPod nano but can't delete this - any ideas?

Thanks Kyle, you solved it - the Ipod was connected to a powered 4 way USB2 adaptor - when I connected it direct to a USB2 port in my desktop it worked OK. For all other 1417 sufferers: get rid of your USB adaptors, iPods obviously can't cope with sharing a port!
In answer to your question about the iPod mini it had one of those hard disk failures which shows a sad face - very sad when the repair bill is a standard 75GBP - over 100US$. Only 18 months old.

Hi Benwal, and Welcome to Discussions!
First, as it may help troubleshoot, what happened to
your iPod mini, or why was it replaced?
Here is an Apple Support link that might help you
out. Error 1415, 1417, 1418, or 1428 when restoring
or updating an iPod in iTunes 7 or later
Kyle-

Hi msclaude,
Welcome to the Support Communities! I'm not sure from your post what steps you have tried, but it sounds like you may need to use recovery mode to address the issue with your unresponsive iPod touch.

If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You can put your iOS device into recovery mode, then restore it using iTunes.
Use recovery mode
You might need to use recovery mode to restore your device in these cases:
iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's in recovery mode.
You see the Apple logo onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
You see the Connect to iTunes screen.
Learn what to do if you see the progress bar onscreen for several minutes.
To put your device into recovery mode, follow these steps:
Turn off your device and leave it off.
Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes.
Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
When you see this screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again.
When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore your device. Restoring in recovery mode will erase your device. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you might be able to restore from your backup.Get more help
Learn what to do if you don't see your device in iTunes for OS X, or in iTunes for Windows.
If you put your device into recovery mode by mistake, restart it. Or you can wait 15 minutes and your device will exit recovery mode by itself.
I hope this information helps ....

HT1657 How do I get a refund if the movie I rented cannot be played? (due to iTunes "unknown error")

How do I get a refund if the movie I rented cannot be played? (due to iTunes "unknown error"?)

I'm not sure whether rentals appear on your purchase history, but try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that film and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If it doesn't appear there (or if that process doesn't work, it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes), then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.
