This application cannot open.  An unknown error occurred (-200)

Dammit Man,
I try to double click iTunes and it says that an unknown error occurred (-200). Sometimes it also says there is a problem with my speaker system settings. What gives?

Dear Jason,
After a month of not being able to fix my ipod, I come to the conclusion that I need help.
My Ipod is recognized in iTunes and My Computer....
After a little time my 30gb 5th Gen Ipod goes halfway through a bar that says "updating library to "Dante's Ipod"...
..and freezes!!!! I don't know what to do. Any help will be greatly appreciated

  • ITunes application cannot be opened.  Unknown error occured (-200)

    `every time i try to open iTunes 7, this pops up. It worked fine until i tried to do a system restore to try and fix my computer for other reasons, and now it doesn't work. I've tried to reinstall iTunes 6.5 but everytime i try to open that, a message pops up talking about how it cant open because the music is only compatible with another, later version of iTunes. If possible, I really don't want to delete my music and have to restart my library all over again. I also think I would like to keep iTunes 7, but if I have to delete it to be able to listen to music again, I will. Please help me, I'm getting desperate!

    Just goto control panel>add and remove and uninstall itunes AND quicktime (You will not loose music) then reboot
    Go here (Disable antivirus)and install "Quicktime WITHPOUT iTunes" http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
    Now disable antivirus and goto apple,.com to install itunes 7

  • Itunes application could not be opened. an unknown error occurred (13010)

    Using iTunes 8.
    Get this error when i try to open iTunes...itunes application could not be opened. an unknown error occurred (13010)
    It just shows that it tries to run in the Processes tab in the Task Manager. I get the error then the pocesses stops.
    I've followed all the instructions in the attached link but with no luck:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421
    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?

  • 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...

  • TS1425 5th Generation Nano iPod.  The iPod syncs on iTunes when I connect it to my MAC, but when I try to add a song from iTunes to the iPod, I receive the message "Cannot be synced, unknown error occurred (1039)

    5th generation iPod Nano - iPod syncs with my iTunes and I can see it in iTunes, but when I try to move a song from my iTunes to the iPod I get an error message "Cannot by synced, Unknown error occurred (1039).  System works fine with my 4th generation iPod Nano.  I'm afraid to "RESET" my iPod because I may not be able to restore my music and videos afterwards.

    Hello Ventanilla 97,
    I agree with planb77 with recreating your itunes library. That will fix your issue. If you would like more step by step info go here:

  • The iTunes Library file cannot be saved unknown error occurred (-54)

    Anyone seen this before and can it be fixed

    I was having this issue as well, after doing two things: updating iTunes yesterday, and installing and running ClamXav, a Mac antivirus tool.
    I have now fixed the issue, first I made sure that I had the proper permissions for iTunes and it's library folders. Then I completely removed ClamXav and all its related files and restarted iTunes.  Now I no longer get this error when adding new media to iTunes or updating apps, and the library file saves fine.  For some reason I think it was related to the antivirus software.
    I think it was a coincidence as ClamXav only modifies permissions on the files it installs and none of those are anywhere near your iTunes folders, but I'm glad you got it working.

  • Cannot update ipod-unknown error occured(-50)

    I downloaded a movie to my ipod using nero 7.0 without difficulty,accidently deleted it and now when I try to redo I get "cannot update ipod,unknown error occured (-50), disk could not be read or written to. It won't even let me reload the ipod. still shows error. P.S. I've tried the 5 R's

    This is the only thing I can find on apples actual website about an error (-50)

    But im not sure if that applies to your problem, you can check it out though.
    Have you gotten any of your songs from limewire? I've seen some posts on another website about this error maybe having something to do with songs from limewire.

  • Im trying to put music on my iPod, but it keeps saying "iPod cannot be synced unknown error occurred". Whats wrong?

    I tried to put music on my ipod and it keeps saying "cannot sync ipod unknown error occured" whats wrong??

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • An unknown error occured (-200)

    Hi, I tried to uninstall my itunes 7 so i could install itunes 6 due to skipping in itunes 7. After reinstalling itunes 6 and using an old itunes library (i would get an error message that the library was created by a newer version so i could not open itunes) my songs would not play. They were all listed but when i double clicked the song or clicked the play icon, nothing would play and the play icon would still appear rather than the pause icon. Now I tried reinstalling itunes 7 (i decided skipping is better than nothing) and i get an error message that says
    The itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occured (-200)
    If anyone knows how I can play songs on itunes 6 again, or how to open itunes 7 i would really appreciate it. Thanks

    So, is that like this error?

  • Unknown Error Occurred (-200)

    We have 3 iPod Minis and 1 Shuffle, and have been using iTunes successfully for nearly two years. We recently purchased a Video iPod, but before we could even connect it to our home computer, our iTunes application started acting up. I'm getting the following error message and am unable to open iTunes...
    "The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-200)"
    What does this mean and what changed? Thanks in advance for any support you can provide.

  • Cannot open iTunes: Unknown error (-50)

    Greetings,
    Just trying to open iTunes ang go to Applications - which worked with no trouble up to right now - and get the following error:
    "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-50)"
    I have seen references in the forums regarding this error code, but usually in regard to syncing issues.
    I must note that right prior to this incident, I was actually browsing the French iTunes App selections. Perhaps my iTunes is now continuing to want to access the French iTune store??
    Will appreciate any pointers!
    - Roger T

    I experienced exactly the same problem. Everything was just running ok, but after visiting a french site application store, connectivity to apple store became impossible and error (-50) was detected. Itunes reinstalled, firewall disabled but at present no way to solve the problem

  • Ipod cannot be synced unknown error occured (-48)

    _Help needed please!_
    I've just got a new laptop, downloaded the latest version of itunes on it, connected my ipod to it (old click wheel version 20GB) and this error message keeps popping up:
    *'The ipod "ipods name" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured. (-48)'*
    I've never had a problem with my ipod or itunes before, but now this error keeps occuring and it won't let me add any music to my ipod or remove any music from my ipod.
    I preferably don't want to restore my ipod because i don't have all the music on it on my new laptop, so I'd lose a lot. I gather syncing the ipod will match what's in the itunes library to the actual ipod? I don't want to do this anyway as I have nothing in my itunes library & i don't want the music that is on my ipod removed, so i'm very confused....
    *Anyone have any ideas of what i should do?????*

    Your iPod will mimic your iTunes so if there is no music in the library it will wipe the other music that you have on there off so if you don't want to lose the music its probably not a good idea to connect it
    as for the error
    the same thing happened to mine for a while when i first got my ipod it would sync 250 songs or so and then come up with the same thing.
