The itunes application could not be opened. an unknown error occurred (1301

I launched iTunes 9.0.1 today and got this error:
"The itunes application could not be opened. an unknown error occurred (13014)"
An archived tip on the iTunes for Windows forum that suggested deleting the iTunes Library Genius.itdb. That didn't work, I also had to delete iTunes Library Extras.itdb. (For the record I renamed them instead of deleting, but the original post suggested deleting).
Anyway, I thought I'd pass that on in case anyone else experiences this problem.

I had the same error and I keep my iTune folder on an external drive due to size. I tried to create a sub-folder to temporarirly hold the itdb file(s) and give it a try. The system wouldn't let me create the folder, at which point I remembered I had left my mac on but unplugged to find the battery drained in the morning. Upon plugging it in, it came back but then told me I hadn't exjected my external disk. So, I figured there might be a correlation. I tried to eject the disk and it wouldn't let me though no programs were running. So, I went ahead an chose to "Force" the eject via the option it presented me. On the un/re-plugging the disk, I tried to created a subfolder and it worked. Before moving any files to it, I tried starting iTunes again and voila, it worked. So, I suspect the comment above about files being locked is what bit me. Hope this helps...

I am getting the following error message - the itunes application could not be opened - an unknown error occurred (-50). Help!? It won't even open up.

I reinstalled iTunes because it stopped opening up and now I'm getting this error message when it refuses to to open. Help?

If you right-click iTunes and Show in Finder, is it located in the Applications folder?
Try trashing the iTunes plist files from ~/Library/Preferences/ and relaunch iTunes (all of the fies that have com.apple.iTunes in the name).
If that doesn't work, try following Apple's document -> Removing iTunes for Mac OS X.
WTH.

Try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

I created a new user account and iTunes opens fine...
Can anyone help.??

I too am having the same problem. I have followed the above advice - I followed this advice http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421 to no avail. For what it's worth, It appears to be isolated to my user account. I also tried uninstalling and deleting all apple software including the itunes folder in my music folder plus deleting the registry keys before reinstalling. I also tried to move th Genius files onto my desktop as per the above suggestions. Any advice?

I am running snow leopard, and it first appeared it was disk space but i checked my HD and it says there is 372GB available so i cant imagine its that.

Redownload iTunes. ----> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
That should solve the problem

The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50)

Today, I downloaded the latest version of Itunes.
When it finished installing it came up with the following error:
"iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 127)". I have uninstalled iTunes, and all related Apple software and re-installed iTunes several times and still I get the same error.
I contacted Apple support and was sent two emails. One detailing what needed to be uninstalled and then a web site to go to where I could download and install Microsoft's latest .NET Framework, which apparently was the root cause of the problem.
I did as instructed:Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
1.iTunes
2.QuickTime
3.Apple Software Update
4.Apple Mobile Device Support
5.Bonjour
6.Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later).
Restarted the PC and then downloaded the latest version of Microsoft's .NET Framework - version 4.
Restarted the PC again and received a strange message from some Apple application I have never heard of stating "CoreFoundation.dll file is missing".
I GOOGLEd the message and found out I also needed to unistall another Apple application called MobileMe. So, I did this and restarted the PC again!
I then downloaded the latest version of iTunes, again.
Now I'm getting "The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50).
From checking through GOOGLE, I believe it's something to do with user accounts and iTunes not being able to find the music folder???? But the answers I found all relate to Windows 64 pit PC's.
I am running Windows 7, 32 bit on a Sony Vaio laptop.
I cannot get support from Apple as I don't own a MAC. But I do own an iPhone but it's out of warranty.
HELP !!!!
Can anybody please help me?
Thx

If you go to the web page "http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923" and follow the "Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled" it does the trick. There are few other folders and files that alos need to be deleted!
iTunes is now working.

How do i resolve my itunes from saying " The itunes application could not be opened. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."

Everytime i click to go to my itunes, the message "The Itunes application could not be opened. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." pops up. I have tried my best to fix it by adding another account to my computer and setting that one as the administator and mine as the regular user. When i did that the itunes worked on both, but when i changed my account back to administator and the other account to the regular user my account didnt work but the other one did. I also tried to uninstall and reinstall itunes. This message popped up when i tried to update the itunes to the newest one. And still it wont go away. Can someone help me please. Thanks!

The itunes application could not be opened. The file name was invalid or..

...too long.
No idea when this started but cannot launch iTunes at all. To reiterate, when I try to launch iTunes I get the following error message: The itunes application could not be opened. The file name was invalid or too long.
I actually uninstalled it and reinstalled on my external drive and it came back with the same error. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot what caused this? I am at my wits ends with this!

I can't get mine to open at all. I even try clicking on a song to see if that will open it, nope. I have hooked up my iphone and ipods, nope. Click the icon, nope still nothing. It keeps erroring, but won't let me copy the error to put in here. I looked at the report it wants to send out, but there is nothing that says why it is erroring. Anyone else having this problem. Please email me at [email protected] to let me know what you did to solve it, or who I have to talk to to get it fixed... Thank you

Help! "The iTunes application could not be opened. You do not have enough access privileges for this application"

I am getting the following error when trying to open iTunes: "The iTunes application could not be opened. You do not have enough access privileges for this application." I am logged in with the admin (and only) user account on my laptop, so I'm confused as to why this would start happening all of the sudden.
I poked around in the control panel trying to find random options that would fix it, but nothing has. I'm running Windows 7.
Thanks for any help!

have you seen this discussion ?

The iTunes application could not be opened. [-42404]

When I try to open iTunes I get the following error
The iTunes application could not be opened. A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall QuickTime. [-42404]
I have tried repairing, uninstalling and reinstalling both iTunes & QuickTime. But, nothing has worked so far.
Any ideas?

I just started having this problem while trying to get my wife's iPad set up with our MacBook Pro. The difficult part is that it's preventing both iTunes on the MacBook and iTunes on the iPad from being authorized on the same store account. I have tried re-installing iTunes 9.1 several times, but unlike what I've heard from others, this has not resolved the problem.

The iTunes application could not be opened. The disk could not be read from or written to

I have my iTunes library stored on an external hard drive. The hard drive seems to work fine with no issues whatsoever. However, whenever i attempt to open iTunes I get the following message "The iTunes application could not be opened. The disk could not be read from or written to."
Plz help...this is driving me off the wall!
Rome.

I fixed it. I just moved my iTunes library from the external harddrive to the Macintosh HD and its working fine again with all the data, tags and what not in tact. Apparently there were a couple corrupt files in the external harddrive iTune library.

The itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-42023)

I have just tried to open iTunes and keep getting the message "the itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-42023)". I've tried deleting and reinstalling iTunes, still with the same error. I've tried restoring iTunes from Time Machine, still with the same error. The error message appears to refer to an error downloading a purchase but I haven't made a purchase.
Every fix seems to start with "step 1:- open iTunes" but I can't do that as I just get the error message.
I'm running OSX 10.6.8 on a core duo iMac, was using iTunes 11.0.2. All software up to date accoring to software updater. I haven't made any software updates since the last successful access of iTues and getting this error.

Here's an article that lists error -42023 twice and therefore may be helpful:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
I believe these are the appropriate actions (from the above article):
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.
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.

My itunes app was working fine then all of a sudden I'm getting an error - The Itunes application could not be opened. The required folder cannot be found. But it doesn't tell me what folder.

I am using Windows Vista. My itunes launched fine until now. Now I get an error - "The Itunes application could not be opened. The required folder cannot be found". I have no idea what file it is looking for. Has anyone seen this error?
I have also tried to uninstall the package and I get the error Could not access network location %APPDATA%\. And it won't uninstall. I don't know why it's complaining in both cases.
Itunes was working 3 weeks ago with no problem.
HELP!!!

hey did u ever get you itunes fixed?

The iTunes application could not be opened. An unkown error occurred (-50).

I was using iTunes with Windows 7 without problem. I recently updated to the latest version of iTunes (Version 9.2?) and now everytime I try to start up iTunes I get the message "The iTunes application could not be opened. An unkown error occurred (-50)." I tried everything in the Online help section of the Apple website for Windows 7, including "repair", deleteing iTunes and reinstalling, and nothing works. What is going on? Does anybody else have this problem?

Thanks. I actually looked at some of your previous advice on problems with Windows 7 and I disconnected my computer to wired and wireless networks, closed all programs, started CHKDSK and rebooted the computer and that solved the problem. iTunes is running perfectly so far. Unfortunately, I wasn't paying attention when CHKDSK finished and didn't get to see the report so can't let you know what it actually did, but it accomplished what all the the other solutions I tried did not (set up new user account, remove/replace preferences, remove/replace libraries. remove/reinstall iTunes, etc.).
Thanks again for your attention to this issue.
