Unknown error occured (-200)... Help!!!

Every time I try to open iTunes, this is the message that pops up. Does any one know what to do. I've tried reinstalling and restoring my computer, but I can't seem to get anything to work. Ideas? please. Thank you!

Ok, for all of you who are experiencing this problem, i found the solution:
1. Open control panel and select 'Add/Remove programs'
2. Remove Quicktime
3. Install Quicktime on the Apple website
4. After finishing the installation, iTunes should work.
P.S. The only problem I'm experiencing now is a duplication of all my songs.

    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"...

  • 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.

    Error -1
    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • An unknown error occurred (13014) - help?

    Hi
    After a crash whilst syncing my 120 GB iPod Classic the other night (on a 1.25 GHz eMac running OS X 10.5.8) I now get a message saying 'The iPod 'Xxxxx' cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (13014).'.
    The iPod plays songs, scrobbles, syncs podcasts and allows songs to be transferred onto it - but Genius no longer works, and that was the main reason I bought a new 120 GB iPod instead of a 160 GB one.
    After Googling Apple's advice on what to do with that error code (which seems to be all about iPhones rather than iPods) I'm no closer to a solution, and am concerned a restore may be needed.
    I manually manage the iPod, due to my library being about 160 GB, so would love to know if there is either a way of fixing the error, or a way of setting the contents of the 'Pod as a playlist, or somesuch, so I can reset the iPod and just re-copy the tracks (about 107 GB worth) onto it simply, rather than having to manually select 18,000-odd songs.
    Is there a way I can do this, or some other solution to this problem?
    Thanks for reading.

    I'm having the same problem with my 160GB iPod. I haven't upgraded to Snow Leopard yet. I tried rebooting the computer, and tried updating iTunes. Neither worked -- still getting the message. I do have my iPod synced to iTunes but would like to avoid having to wipe the iPod & start over as it'll take forever given the size of my library. Anyone found a solution other than nuking the iPod?

  • ITunes application could not be oppened.  An unknown error occurred (-200).

    Hi--I'm having trouble since my latest upgrade or even before that. I've tried removing and reinstalling iTunes and iPod but still keep getting the error message (-200). Can someone help? I'm unable to even open iTunes anymore, let alone manipulate my music in my playlists. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!!
    Lela

    the -200 is generally caused by a broken quicktime. (itunes requires a properly functioning QuickTime in order to work properly.)
    let's try this technique first.
    head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

  • HT201263 iPhone 4 is in recovery mode but iTunes can not restore it.. Says unknown error occurred  (21) HELP!

    I've just got back of holiday and while there my phone decided to turn itself off, it would not come back on unless I plugged it into the wall charger, it said that I had to connect it to iTunes, but being on holiday I couldn't.
    So when I got home yesterday I plugged it into my laptop and the Apple logo came on, and then went off again, then back on and off again, it was doing this untill I unplugged it. So I put it into recovery mode and it said Connect to iTunes, so I did. It then said that the phone needed to be restored, iTunes started this process, 'extracting software' it said, and then once that was done it said 'preparing iPhone for restore' but then my phone disconnects itself from the laptop and then connects again then disconnects again. Then iTunes comes up with a message saying 'iTunes can not restore this iPhone 'iPhone', a unkown error occured (21)'
    I have tried over and over again to try and do this but it keeps coming up with the same.
    Does anyone know what's wrong with my iPhone and how I can fix it?
    Thanks

    And what did the error message say?

  • 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
