I have tried "restoring" my iPod, but that didn't work and now I can't get all of my music back onto the iPod. I would love you forever if you will help me! <33
THANK YOU!!

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.)

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.

TS4062 Ever since I uploaded the new itunes version, I've been getting this message when I plug in my ipod. "itunes cannot connect to this iphone. An unknown error occured 0XE80000065." Does anyone have a solution.

This is the error I get. I did not find this on the itunes webpage...

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!

I cannot open my Itunes? I keep getting this message: "The Itunes app could not be opened. An unknown error occurred. (-50) Help! I have also tried to uninstall and reinstall, but get the message that ITunes.msi cannot be found.

Why am I getting this message when I try to open my ITunes: "The Itunes app could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50)."?

These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

TS1436 The attempt to burn disc failed. An unknown error occured (4310)

Trying to burn audio CD for first time using new acer computer with windows 8, and get the following message:
"The attempt to burn disc failed. An unknown error occured (4310)"

same deal.
acer 4752, windows 8 x64, less than 1 year old.. used to burn CD's ok in iTunes but now gets error 4310.
I tried..
lowering the CD write speed (even down to 1x). --> fail. still 4310. I tested the CDR by burning some random files in windows and it worked fine.
using compatibility mode with windows 7 and windows XP. not only did both not help, but XP mode crashed iTunes. --> fail.
giving up and using windows media player. This worked! resolved, yay..
