Whats does this mean?!!! "An Unknown error has occured (-69). What do i do?

I havent been able to open my itunes for a long time now. I've deleted all of my itune files( including the music ones) then i removed it and tried re-installing it a couple times..and nothings working...Can someone please help me?
  Windows XP  

this is an unusual context (opening itunes) in which to get a -69.
they are often associated with file damage. so sometimes running a chkdsk over the C: drive (or wherever else you keep your itunes program and/or music files) can be of some help.
for instructions on chkdsk, see:
How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? if so, does you itunes launch again? if not, are you still getting the -69, or is something different happening?

    That's an issue with your system. Try removing the iTunes and the other APPLE software related from your system and reinstall it again.

    When im installing the iLife bundle package, it says an unknown error has occurred. What do i do?

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • I'm trying to update some apps and it gives me an error message saying " unknown error has occurred".  What does this mean

    I'm trying to update my apps and purchase a movie from itunes and it keeps saying "an unknown error has occurred."  How do I fix this?

    Trying to do both at the same time? Try updating the apps first. Maybe one at a time. Then try buying the movie.
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Re: What does this mean? Harddisk error. Hard disk1 3F1?

    The error for (3F1) does not always refer to the harddrive on your laptop. It appears that it can also refer to the optical drive. I just finished troubleshooting the same error message on a dv6-6000 series - it works fine without the optical drive, but will not boot with the Optical drive in place. I have tried a couple replacement optical drives, all with the same error message. It appears that the motherboard has the issue, not the drive. ANY COMMENTS?

    Hello mickietee,
    I understand that your notebook is displaying an error message (3F1), and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    The first step I recommend is to follow this document on Using Windows 7, how do I run CHKDSK?or How to Scan & Fix Hard Drives with CHKDSK in Windows 8. This should help to check for hard drive errors, and repair them for Windows 7 or 8. Once updated, please use the HP Support Assistant (for Windows 7 or Windows 8) to ensure that all of your system's drivers are up to date.
    If the issue persists, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.
