Unknown error [0x666D743F]

I recently downloaded iTunes 7 on my Tablet PC [Toshiba]. Installed it without problem but when I now click the iTunes icon, I get the following message:
'The iTunes application cannot be opened. An unknown error ocurred [0x666D743F]'
I had previously uninstalled both iTunes 6 and Quicktime 7 before installing iTunes 7. I had also tried unistalling iTunes 7 and deleting all references to it on the c drive but same error on reinstallation of iTune 7.
Incidentally, iTunes 6 works fine or reinstallation!
Could anyone, please, explain to me what to do next?

there's a few different things causing that. here's a couple of the more common ones, just to start off investigations:
That error has been known to be produced by having Total Recorder or the Volume Logic plug-in installed on the PC.

  • Get unknown error 0x666D743F trying to start Itunes 7 on remote desktop

    Hi gang,
    I just updated to ITunes 7 and I'm getting an unknown error 0x666D743F using the Microsoft Remote Desktop. ITunes 7 will work when I login direct to the PC console. The worked fine with several versions of ITunes up through 6.
    Any ideas on hwo to fix this?
    Thanks,

    Hey,
    I was trying to debug some sound problems with iTunes 7 when I ran into this myself. I was messing around in start->control panel->sound->volume->advanced->performance. If I set hardware acceleration to none I'd get the exact error code youre talking about, if I set it to basic my audio quality was OK, if I set it to anything higher than basic iTunes would open but the sound problems were terrible. In any case I suggest you go check and see what your hardware acceleration level is. If it's basic maybe thats the reason your iTunes can't start. Just an idea, hopefully it helps.
    Take care.

  • Unknown error 0x666D743F I'd really like iTunes to open now!!!

    I know I'm not the first to experience this one...
    I cured it by installing iTunes 6 instead, then realised I can't run my new Nano on anything other than 7. I've tried the things suggested in the article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304318 and they didn't work - found another couple of suggestions on the discussion board and they didn't work either.
    I'm stuck with a Dell running Windows 2000 - I realise neither are the ultimate piece of kit but I have to make do with what I've got! I've run Ad-Aware and uninstalled my Kodak software to tackle the obvious bugs.
    Please can anyone make any other suggestions as to how to overcome this?
    Thanks very muchly!

    It posts that exact message?
    Perhaps you would post a bit more info?
    What is the exact message you see?
    Which version of iTunes?
    Which version of Mac OS?
    Does iTunes work fine without connecting the iPod?
    Which iPod do you have? Which firmware on the iPod?

  • Getting "Unknown Error 0x666D743F" on Windows XP: Please Help

    I know others have posted this I've tried the fixes but nothing is working. I'm sure apple will have a patch soon for this but I'm axious to use my ipod and now I can't

    Hey, sorry, I didn't read everything already posted, I just don't have the time.
    My issue is that my firewire connection won't work with iTunes 7. My USB doesn't work that well either - I have to reboot my computer every time with the iPod connected in order to get iTunes to recognize it. I've tried everything - restarting the iPod, restarting the computer, restarting iTunes, reinstalling iTunes - to no avail. I've tried restoring the iPod to factory settings, but everytime I try to do that through iTunes, it ejects my iPod and says "Restoring iPod" with that stupid progress bar running incessantly. I hope Apple puts out a patch to fix all this crap soon, because I'm getting ******. Does anyone else have this problem?

  • Downloaded 7.0, iTunes won't open :  "unknown error occured (0x666D743F)"

    Running Windows 2000, downloaded the new version and keep get the following error.
    When I open iTunes, the disclaimer pops up for me to save, accept or decline. I click decline, and get the following error.
    The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occured (0x666D743F).
    Any help?

    Try taking a look at the Hardware acceleration on your Sound card..
    I'm pretty sure that it's the same for Win 2K, but For WinXP I know that it is
    1) Open Control Panel
    2) Open Sounds and Audio Devices
    3) Click the Audio tab
    4) Click the top "Advanced" button
    5) Click the Performance tab
    6) Move the Hardware acceleration slider down to the next setting above 'None'

  • ITunes application could not be opened.  An unknown error occurred (0x666D7

    Been using iTunes 6 and 6.5 for months and months on my computer. Upgraded to 7.0. Installs just fine. No errors, no issues.
    At the end, it asks if it can launch iTunes 7.0 and I click okay. I get this:
    The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (0x666D743F).
    Apple, HELP!!!! I can't use iTunes at all!!!! I'd be willing to reinstall 6 or 6.5 if I could find it somewhere.
    Can someone please help?

    This happened to me as well. I uninstalled iTunes 7 and tried again: nothing. I uninstalled iTunes 7 and Quicktime and tried again: nothing. I uninstalled everything and ran a third-party program called CCleaner to find registry entries that were not removed by the uninstallation and then reinstalled: nothing. Did all that and add a reboot after CCleaner before reinstalling: nothing. Downgraded back to iTunes 6.0.5 and it worked fine. Re-upgraded to iTunes 7, failure.
    For those who may need it, you can download iTunes 6.0.5 from apple.com here: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes605forwindows.html

  • The iTunes application could not be opened.  An unknown error occurred

    Has anyone else gotten this problem after downloading iTunes 7? I didn't have this problem with the previous version, and I tried to repair this one and the same problem still happens. Before the error box pops up, though, it asks me to agree to something. Help would be appreciated, thanks.

    okay, erin, it sounds like you've already seen this article:

    ... but even if you've had no joy with that, there are some other possibilities to check on.

  • ITunes 7 unknown error

    when ever i install itunes 7 and try to run it i get a softwear licence agreement, then i click agree, then a box comes up and says "The ITunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occured (0x666D743F)". Anyone got any ideas on how to fix it?

    The open QuickTime first approach did not work for me. I resolved the error by changing the default devices to my soundcard in the Control Panel. It seems a lot of the 0x666D743F errors are related to third-party audio applications. In my case, it was an audio streaming recording tool that I was using. Other's found that it was the audio application that runs in the system tray for their soundcard. Some other people said it was a plug-in for iTunes that caused the problem. Finally, one thread of users found that it was Remote Desktop that caused the problem (but I assume that you are not running iTunes via Windows Remote Desktop.)
    My post on sound devices is elsewhere in this discussion at:

  • Downladed ituens 7 but unknown error -200 pops up when i click on it?

    I downloaded itunes 7 recently but when i click on it it comes up with "unknown error occured -200".
    What can i do to prevent this and enter itunes?

    I have a very similar problem with iTunes 7.
    I downloaded it a few days ago and everything was working fine until this morning when I got an error message:
    "The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (0x666D743F)."
    Since then I have tried reinstalling it but that didn't help either. Just incase it helps, I have an iPod Nano (software version 1.2) which was also working fine with iTunes 7 until today.
    Any help greatfully accepted!

  • HT201263 my iphone 4 went into recovery mode & will not restore. Unknown error 21 comes up on iTunes. Please can someone offer any ideas for a solution?

    I have an iphone 4 nearly 2 yrs old. It has worked perfectly for that time. On Friday last (whilst away on holiday) I took the phone out of my pocket & it was lifeless. I tried switching it on, no joy, I tried the power/home button reset no joy. I plugged it into a mains charger & it came on but had a banner across the screen saying "verification required". I removed the charger & decided I would try again when I got home so I could connect to my PC & iTunes.
    At home I went through the whole above process again but when I plugged it into the mains again it just had the Apple logo going on/off repeatedly. I plugged the phone into my PC & the apple logo appeared followed by the "connect to iTunes". In iTunes I get the banner "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes". So I click on "OK" the "Restore" then a banner asking if I'm sure I want to restopre the iPhone appears, press "Restore & Update". iTunes starts to remove the software, veryfies it with Apple & then another flag "The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (21) which appears to be a security issue.
    I thought the above problem was something to do with O2 because I picked up my new iPhone 4S last Tuesday but was unable to set it up until I got back from my holiday, O2 say it isn't anything they've done.
    My question is has it happened to anyone & can anybody offer a solution, is it a hardware or software issue?

  • Unknown Error during Recovery - iPad no longer Recognized by iTunes

    I have a 3rd Generation iPad which I was attempting to perform a factory reset.  I received an "Unknown Error" during the process and from that point on I have been unable to get iTunes to recognize my iPad in recovery mode (or otherwise).
    I have tried every thread on the subject, but I found one interesting thing.  If I connect the iPad with the same cable, etc. to another computer it immediately recognizes it in recovery mode and offers to restore the iPad.
    It seems like my computer is not recognizing the iPad because it was in the process of restoring the device when the error occurred.  Does anyone know if there is a way to reset or fix this issue.  I would prefer not to update iTunes and download both the new iTunes and iPad software again and use another computer if it is not necessary.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hey KSHItunes,
    That was a good test to try your iPad on another computer.  It does seem to isolate the issue to something with your computer setup.
    Although you would prefer not to update iTunes, there may be steps in this article which can help.

  • Ipod no longer authorized (unknown error -42408)

    posted this at itunes site as well.
    out of blue, having problem i've never had syncing my 60G ipod.
    for years have been syncing this ipod with my itunes on my macbook (only). for the past few times (?month or so), i'm getting an error message when i try to sync that first says, the ipod/macbook is not authorized for this ipod (which it always has been).
    then it asks me if i want to authorize it. when i hit "authorize", it brings up an old itunes account i had and asks me for the old password, which i enter. then i get an error message that says:
    "unknown error -42408. error in itunes store. please try again later."
    how do i fix this so that i don't get this error message and can continue syncing with my most recent account, which has NEVER been a problem in the past?
    thanks.

    I have exactly the same problem. My iPod is a 30GB one from 2005 or 2006 (I don't know how to identify its category). When it was new, I had a PC; then a year and a half ago I switched to a Mac and got everything transferred ok, and have been synching the iPod to the Mac with no trouble since then. (Well, slight trouble, because the iPod is now very full, and I haven't figured out the best way to synch "almost everything", but so far I'm managing somehow.) But just before leaving Moscow March 10, I wanted to synch and recharge the iPod, and got the same problem, with the same sequence of messages described at the start of this thread. So I only recharged it. Now I'm in Amherst, tried again, exact same problem. So now only recharging again.
    Same computer, same iPod, why does it suddenly not recognize that this computer is authorized to synch this iPod, and why does it make this error when I tell it to authorize it? And how can I fix it?
    Grateful for any help.
