Unknown Error (-200)

i've installed and uninstall itunes more than 5 time but every time I try to open the app. it says The itunes application could not be opened

You know, I think you should capture an installer log and send it to those lazy Apple engineers. They're usually interested in this sort of thing.
1. Open a commnd prompt window. (Start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return.)
2. Drag and drop iTunesSetup.exe onto the window so that the full pathname of the file is at the command line prompt.
3. Type in a space, then the following line:
/l*v C:\log.txt
4. Hit return.
5. The installer will create a log file:
C:\log.txt
Send it to our buddy Roy. It doesn't hurt to put the URL to this discussion thread because he gets a lot of these messages and is easily confused. Tell him Toonz sent ya.

Unknown error (-200) when i start v7

i can't open itunes v7 because of this "unknown error (-200)".
and if i revert to v 6.0.5 i'm having lots of problems as well (that i didn't have before this GRMBL version 7)!
what is this unknown error (-200) and what can i do? i've been looking all over the web and on the apple site, can't find anything about it... help me out please!
thanks

i can't open itunes v7 because of this "unknown error (-200)".
that can be associated with a damaged QuickTime. (itunes needs a fully functional QuickTime in order to work.)
so let's first try a careful standalone QT 7.1.3 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1.3 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1.3 Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention itunes
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

Itunes 7- Unknown Error (-200)

Everytime I try to start Itunes I get the message An. Unknown error occured (-200). I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the ituens program any suggestions?

BSkeeter48,
I would like to try a few things. Roy has mentioned wanting some more information about this issue.
Would you mind working with me to help us track down the cause?
Hopefully you are.
If you open the Quicktime player do you get the same error?
Which anti-virus software are you running? Are you running any anti-spyware software or pop-up blockers?
Next I would like to have you reinstall iTunes 7 and have it make a log of the install process.
1. Open a commnd prompt window. (Start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return.)
2. Drag and drop iTunesSetup.exe onto the window so that the full pathname of the file is at the command line prompt.
3. Type in a space, then the following line:
/l*v C:\log.txt
4. Hit return.
5. The installer will create a log file:
C:\log.txt
Open iTunes, and see if you get the same error still. If you don't great its fixed, and we are almost done.
Take the answer to these questions, and send an email to Roy. Attach the log.txt file that was created to the email. When you go to attach the log, you should be able to select your hard disk (C:) and have log.txt right there.
If it was not fixed, come back here, let me know you have done the steps above including sending the email, and I have a few more steps I would like to have you try.

ITunes unknown error (-200) (and others)

Just switched from a iPod mini to an older 20 gig. Tried to sync it. iTunes crashed. Made me reformat the iPod. Lost all music on it. Also, no audio was playing. Told me to update iTunes. (thinking it would solve the sync issue) I did. iTunes wont open because of quote...
"an unknown error occurred (-200)."
So I tried updating quicktime. Didn't work. Now audio wont work for QT player either.
I have tried past versions of iTunes and they wont load either (same error).
So now I have 2 empty iPods, and a computer that will not play audio or let me load my iPod. (websounds and other apps still work so it isnt the speakers themselves).
Any help on any of these things would be great. And spell it out please I'm not too keen on the procedures here.

Also, I have not moved any files since updating. Still won't do anything.

ITunes won't open, unknown error (-200)

I'm on a G5 running OS 10.4.6. Unexpectedly my iTunes stopped opening(latest version 6.4). When trying to open it, it immediately quits and this message appears:
"The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-200)."
ALSO, the sound on my computer has stopped working, with the exception of the start-up chime. Both of these problems started to occur at the same time (and out of nowhere as I've done nothing different or unusual.)
I have run Diskwarrior (which fixed a bunch of other files and directories!) and have also run the MAC Disc Repair successfully. I have also deleted and reinstalled iTunes three times. However, I still get the same error message and no sound (except for start-up). All of my other programs work fine.
I'm frustrated and out of ideas! Help please!
Thank you,

Error code -200 means:
noHardware - Required sound hardware not available [no hardware support for the specified synthesizer]
The hardware still works, as you wrote "the sound on my computer has stopped working, with the exception of the start-up chime. "
I'm no expert on these kind of problems, but it looks to me, a driver is missing or corrupted.
You could try to fix it by (re-)running the latest OS X 10.4.6 combo-update.
This will sometimes fix problems.
If that fails, you might have to do an Archive and Install. More hints about that feature here
Before doing all that, it could be wise to post a question in the Using Mac OS X Tiger forum.
There are some very knowledgeable people answering questions there.
Maybe someone has a simple solution.
Hope this helps.

Unknown error -200... HELP!!

when i first installed iTunes 7 onto my computer, it worked fine. But then i did a system restore, and when i tried to open it again, a message popped up saying, The iTunes application cannot be opened. An unknown error occurred (-200). I tried reinstalling it and restarting my comptuer atleast a dozen times, but it still wont work. Help me please!

To install 6.0 from 7.0 see:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=640502&tstart=0
or just uninstall and install it(if you haven't done so)
remember to restart your computer

Itunes cannot start - unknown error 200.

I've installed the latest update to itunes and now it won't start. each time i click on itunes i get an error.
The iTunes application cannot be opened. An unknown error occurred (-200).
I've tired to remove the plist file and see if it starts then, but after asking to accept the terms and conditions the same message came up.
What should I try next?
Thanks,

Turns out a good old restart fixed it

ITunes Not Working (Unknown Error -200)

After a power outage I rebooted my computer and clicked the iTunes icon. An error box appeared reading "The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred. (-200)"
I then downloaded the latest version of iTunes (7.1.1.5) and tried reinstalling but a little after half way through the installation another error came up. It said "Error writing to file C:\Program Files\iPod\bin\iPodService.Resources\zh_CN.lproj\iPodServiceLocalized.dll. Verify that you have access to that directory."
Please help, I desperatly need my iTunes :[.

hmmmm. the first one (the -200) is typically caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (on 7.0.2.16 and higher versions, it shows up as an "itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration" message.)
but the second one is a problem with a language resource amongst your itunes program files.
those are typically caused by damaged files, and damaged files can also cause QuickTime problems. so first let's try running a chkdsk over your C: drive.
for instructions (and/or guided help) see:
How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? if so, does the itunes 7.1.1.5 install go through properly? if so, does iTunes launch properly, or do you start getting an "audio configuration" message when you try to launch it?

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!

IPhone unknown error (-200)

Hello Apple.
When I try to open up iTunes in my MacBook Pro, it says that it cannot launch because of a unknown error called -200.
I don't know what this is, and I don't think that there are any solution articles for this error.
Here's a screenshot:
Any solutions to this error?
Thanks!

I had the same error (-23) but i managed to update my iphone after a few days... I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes on my laptop and it's work... No more error msg popping out and the updating went smoothly .
p.s. Yuppie finally able to updated my iphone to iOS5..

ITunes won't open. It says it's due to an unknown error (-200).

I'm running OS X Lion on a Mac Pro, and iTunes is the latest download.

No, you were the first, but I found instructions online and managed to uninstall and reinstall iTunes, and it works fine now. Thanks for responding!

Unknow error (-200) after installing 7

Can anyone tell me what unknown error (-200) is and how to correct it. Since I have installed ver 7, i have not been able to access itunes. I get this error message every time I try to run the progam....please help..Thanks

There are two causes that I know of for this.
1. You are running remotely from a different system
and have it set up to play audio locally.
2. You have TotalRecorder or Volume Logic or some
other plug-in. Remove all plugins from your iTunes
plugin folder.
3. You have something else that is trying to
redirect your sound.
im having this problem too on my PC...
i have tried the solutions that i can understand.
the audio in QT is also crackling
its not number 1, cos remote desktop is not enabled on my PC. Unless the settings of RDT can overwrite this somehow...
2. as far as i know, i dont have any of this... i have uninstalled 1 codec that i had added to WMP, but that didn't fix it... i am pretty sure i don't have anything else like that...
3. what could this be? i don't understand this one
the only other problem that i could think of is that the PC is too slow.. it fits the requirements for iT 7, but only just...

ITunes error -200

I cannot start iTunes. Every time I attempt to start it up I receive an" unknown error (-200)". Any ideas.?
I reinstalled iTUnes 10 and deleted plists. Still the same problem.

I'm dealing with this error today. I forgot to plug in my Macbook and the computer died. Every time my computer is turned off any other way than asking for a restart/shut down (ie out of power, pushing the power button for 3 seconds), I get the multi-language error at startup. I have to keep trying combinations of using the install disk, not using the disc, holding "d" or option, until finally it boots, I login, and the error screen doesn't show up.
Today is the first time the sound hasn't worked for anything other than the startup chime. I don't hear the volume up and down sound, iTunes won't open, and I can't hear online videos and sounds. I was able to open Garageband, and I loaded a guitar lesson, but I couldn't hear the guy talking.
If the audio/logic board was fried, how would I be able to hear the startup chime?
There has to be a easy way to fix this.

Error (-200) when trying to open Itunes

I've recently come across a problem with my Itunes, when I try to open it I get an unknown error (-200) message. While trying to figure out how to fix it I stumbled upon an article posted on the apple support page that shows how to fix this problem for windows, however I don't know how to translate that to OS X 10.4.8. I really need help with this one...I can only go so long with out my Itunes!!!

Error -200 means: "Required sound hardware not available [no hardware support for the specified synthesizer]"
The problem will almost certainly be solved by an Archive and Install.
Before doing that, try if (re)-running the latest Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update (PPC) solves the problem.
On a 10.2.x system, running the latest combo-update fixed it, as you can read here, so maybe that will do the trick also on 10.4.8.
Hope this helps.
