...Some unknown error...

No clue what's going on, everything installs correctly but when I try to open it. I get some error and it closes....doesn't even tell me what's going on. Says that Windows is closing the program to protect my computer, then the "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." message. This has been going on for a while now, lost count of how many time I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program. Nothing seems to work, help me please...

Interesting. No trouble about not seeing the ModName and ModVer there, Bell. They only show up if the event type for iTunes is an AppCrash, and you were getting a BEX (like your QuickTime player error).
The BEX for iTunes (rather than an AppCrash) is a little unusual in this context, but that P4: unknown (in the context of all the other symptoms) is suggesting we've got old versions of QuickTime componentry lurking in unorthodox locations on the PC So we'll start investigating that possibility.
You'll need to make sure you are set up to view hidden files and folders in XP.
1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
5. Click OK.
Now in My Computer, open your C drive.
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "system32" folder.
What files and/or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file/folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.

HT201303 I get a box to enter my password. Even when I enter the new password I just created, it still pops and asks again. I now cannot download a movie I bought for some unknown error reason.

I keep getting a message telling me to enter my password. Even after I change the password, it is asking me for it again and again. Now, my movies that I purchased are not downloading due to some unknown error.

Each time you login, the iTunes Store asks you for your Apple ID and password but it shouldn't be prompting you to change your password. I am guessing that this error lies with the iTunes in your computer. Try uninstalling the iTunes app and reinstall the latest version:
http://www.itunes.com/download
Just in case you haven't done this yet, I would suggest connecting to a different network or try signing in to your account using another computer or device. This is to isolate which exactly is causing the error
If the same issue occurred after attempting to sign in using a different computer or a device, please try resetting your password again via iForgot website: http://iforgot.apple.com
If you were able to sign into your account using a different computer or a device, or if reinstalling iTunes app didn't help, it means that the issue is within your computer. In this case, you will need to contact Apple Technical Support for more intensive troubleshooting. You may check this link for their phone #: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

Restoring corrupted files in Premiere due to unknown error

Got a big problem. I had a project open in Premiere and everything was fine. While doing something else leaving the job on the screen, it "lost" the harddrive, so the whole thing was still on screen but not online anymore. So I restarted the pc and the harddrive was back. But I could not open the file again because some unknown error orrured. i can not go back to the previous one as Premiere apparently did not leave any backup file for some reason. I still have another version of it, but of course work from the last week is all gone including a lot of refinement and one of the cameras is still not in sync. Is there any expert out there that might find the corrupted codes in a file ... not sure if there is anybody able to find stuff like that.
Regards
Ronnie

ronniemehlis, could you specify the product name and version? Is it Premiere Pro or Premiere Elements? If so, which version and on which operating system?

I downloaded an album from iTunes and some of the songs downloaded but others didn't there was an error message 8003 Unknown error occurred. While I downloaded the album to my phone, it wouldn't download to my mac, what am I doing wrong???

I purchased an album on ITunes store, while the items downloaded to my phone, it didn't download to my mac. Some of the songs downloaded but not the majority, when I try to download the songs, it gives me an error 8003 Unknown error occured. What am I doing wrong? If I can't download this album, how do I get a credit??

Hello mercdw,
Once the music has been downloaded to your iPhone, you can transfer purchases from your device to iTunes.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
Alternatively, the following article provides further information regarding this error and steps that can help resolve the issue.
"Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
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.
Windows Vista:  \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
Windows 7:  \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
Windows XP:  \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
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.
If you encounter this issue while while downloading Digital Copies using Windows:
Use MSCONFIG (directions for Windows XP and Windows Vista/Windows 7) to disable conflicting software.
If using MSCONFIG steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict.
You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to reoccur.
If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict.

Try using DFU/Recovery mode to restore
1. Plug iPhone 4 to computer
2. open iTunes
3. Turn off iPhone
4. Press home and power button for 10 seconds
5. Stop pressing the power. Button but keep pressing down the home button
iTunes should say the following; "iTunes won't be able to use your iPhone until you restore your device"
Then you'll have the option to restore and it should work, it has worked for me in the past

You seem to have a lot of #fff codes in the CSS files that obviously aren't found with the long #ffffff search term (#fff finds them)
Make sure that the match case box isn't selected on the Find bar (Ctrl+F)

Doublechecking. In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

I'm trying to update some apps and it gives me an error message saying " unknown error has occurred". What does this mean

I'm trying to update my apps and purchase a movie from itunes and it keeps saying "an unknown error has occurred." How do I fix this?

Trying to do both at the same time? Try updating the apps first. Maybe one at a time. Then try buying the movie.
First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Tried to update my iPad OS from iTunes. Frozen and got an "unknown error msg". I tried to restore the iPad to factory settings..got the same

I bought today a new iPad from Rideau Store. The setup guys didn't update to latest software version. I tried to do myself trough iTunes, which notify me that an upgrade is available. After a while the upgrading process froze with a msg "unknown error ..". I clicked on the More info button and I got a page saying "due to a scheduled upgrade of Apple's support system some feature are not available.
The bottom line is that now the iTunes does detect the iPad being in recovering mode and asks to restore it to fabrics defaults. I tried to do this and again I got aqn "unknown error"
Finally I run the iTunes diagnostics to check the connectivity between my iPad and my HP laptop (iTunes). For unknown reson the iTunes does not detect my iPad. See below the diagnostics log:

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
