My iphone 3 is no longer syncing with itunes.  i amgetting an eror message--42110 every time I open itunes

When I plug my phone into my computer, and I Tunes opens, I get an error message -42110.  It also appears to be syncing but is not.  I removed all I tunes programs and reinstalled I tunes but it happened again.  Help please.

Hi Wendy194,
When I search for that error I see an article come up that refers me to this one:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
I would go through the sections in that article one by one and see if that helps.
Take care!

  • All of a sudden I am getting error message -42408 every time I open iTunes.

    I have updated to the most recent version of iTunes and that didn't help.  I can download iTunes items on my iPhone, but not my Mac.  But I can see the iTunes store on my Mac.  It just gives me an error and won't let me download anything OR let me sync my iPhone or iPad.

    This may help

  • With the latest IOS 7.0.3 for my iPhone, it no longer syncs with iTunes. I've run the diagnostics for syncing and it says everything is working, which it clearly isn't. Is there anything to be done without restoring iPhone? Thanks

    update : so after reading numerous posts, I tried unchecking entire playlist and just tried one of my playlists. That sync seemed to work, so I rechecked entire playlist and did the sync. It worked. Then I went in to my "walk to work" playlist and added some songs to see if it would sync now, and it did!!! so happy now. will see what happens tomorrow.

    Is the device recognized in iTunes? What happens when you try to sync? What have you done to try and correct it? Before anyone can recommend anything, they need to know a little more information.

  • Since installing iCloud, my iPhone 3GS no longer syncs with my Outlook Calendar and Outlook Contacts.  I don't know what else to try, short of resetting the iPhone and completely reloading as a new device.  Any ideas, anyone?

    It's good to know.  The Apple instructions for loading iCloud on a PC just seem to have either overlooked or hidden this limit.  The larger problem is that it partially works:  partially and erratically.  So clean-up is great fun.

  • Re-syncs same 4000 items every time I open Itunes....

    I am having this issue every time I open itunes. There are about 4000 items that sync every time I open itunes. They are the same songs and podcasts. Why won't these items just stay on the ATV?
    Also, I have songs in my itunes library that I transfered to an external drive that are no longer on my laptop, so my question is, how can I "update" my library to notice just the music files on my laptop harddrive without deleting each song one-by-one?
    Thank You

    This isn't usual behaviour, it indicates you may have issues on your network or computer that is causing this.

    As you are probably aware the choice of tunes for syncing is not done item by item but rather by playlists or everything, you might try using some smart playlists to include only the music you want.

  • I have not been able to use iTunes for several months.  Every time I open iTunes, it freezes by computer such that there is about a minutes between each action.  I am running iTunes 11 on Mac OS 10.6.8 and have a computer with maxed out memory.

  • HT1349 I don't have an Apple product. I accidentally signed up for iCloud because I thought I could use it with my iTunes on my PC. Now it won't go away. I have deleted the software but every time I open iTunes it demands I reopen my iCloud session. Help.

    I want to get rid of iCloud. I do not currently have an Apple product but thought I could use it with iTunes and my PC. I have deleted the software. I told iTunes to take it off my account, but every time I open iTunes there it is again, asking me to log into iCloud. I can't get Apple support because I don't have an Apple product. I don't know how to get rid of this!

    This is for a Mac, but may be similar for a PC.

  • HT204406 Does iTunes match have to look for all music on my computer and send that data to and from Apple every time I open iTunes? This frequently makes iTunes crash before I even get to listen to one song. Installing the latest version of iTunes does no

    Does iTunes have to check all my music for match every time I open iTunes even when nothing has changed in the music folder?  This is just one problem I have with iTunes and match.  Every time I open iTunes, the first thing happening is iTunes checking my music and sending the information to Apple and then waiting for Apple to send back information about match. There is a third step that I have never seen iTunes actually reach as it always crashes before finishing this ritual with my music and match.  Since I paid for match I can no longer use iTunes to listen to any of my music. I like having match function on my iPhone because even 128 GB is not enough space to keep a music library and everything else needed on the iPhone.  But it's been a disaster with iTunes on my Windows 7 PC. I updated iTunes recently and the same problem continues.  I can't find any clear description of how match works but it seems if there has been no change to the music folder then the tedious and buggy process of checking all music for match and sending data back and forth to Apple every time iTunes is used should not be necessary.  Is there possibly something I have to change settings for to help iTunes start without so much to do?

    If your library was working on your computer and then popped up empty all of a sudden then this might be what you need...
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • For some strange reason the songs in my library are multiplying. For example, I really only have 4,000 songs but every time I open itunes I have 6,8,10,000 songs! Any one else have this problem.  How do I stop that from happening?

    This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • 'iTunes Software Licence Agreement' every time I open iTunes

    Since the most recent iTunes update, I'm getting the 'iTunes Software Licence Agreement' window every time I open iTunes (screenshot - http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/5265/68707078.png) -- to which I have to select 'agree' to access normally.
    Why? And anyway to stop this?
    Thanks in advance.

    *Replying to Gareth L*
    Though on my own account, its still comming up with the "set up" screens before it starts.. any other ideas i could try?
    iTunes setup assistant runs every time you launch, user-account-specific issue ... I think your other set of iTunes preference files (in your normal user account) might be damaged, Gareth. (Have experimented with this on my XP PC ... rebuild one set and the license agreement runs, rebuild the other set and the iTunes Setup assistant runs. So damage to the 'other" set might be causing your relentless-setup-assistant thing.)
    So, we'll try swapping out your other set of pref files. Here's Windows 7 instructions. Make a note of any custom preferences you have set up, because this procedure will return everything to default that wasn't returned to default by rebuilding the other set. You might also have to reinstall any third-party iTunes add-ons/plug-ins after doing this one, too.
    Here's Windows 7 instructions for rebuilding "the other set" *(Step 10* contains the crucial difference from the license-agreement-problem instructions).
    First, quit iTunes if you have it open.
    Next, you'll need to make sure you are set up to view hidden files and folders in Vista (or 7).
    1. From the Start menu, click Open.
    2. In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
    5. Click OK.
    Next, you'll remove the iTunes preference folder (and contained file).
    6. In Computer, open Local Disk: C or whichever drive your documents are stored on.
    7. Open the Users folder.
    8. Open the folder with the name of the Vista (or 7) user account in which iTunes always shows the setup assistant in when launching.
    9. Open the AppData folder.
    10. Open the Roaming folder.
    11. Open the Apple Computer folder.
    12. Drag the iTunes folder out onto the Desktop.
    Now you'll rebuild the preference folder and file.
    13. Launch iTunes. This will cause iTunes to rebuild that preference folder and file. *The setup assistant will appear for you again.* (That is expected behavior when that particular preference folder and contained file are being rebuilt.)
    14. Now quit iTunes and launch iTunes again. If the preference folder and contained file have been successfully rebuilt, the setup assistant should not appear this time.
    ... any luck with that?

  • Every time I open iTunes I have to agree to the licence . . . . and MORE!

    Windows 7 64 bit  /  iTunes 11.0.4.4
    Every time I open iTunes, I have to perform the following repetitive steps;
    -Accept the license agreement
    -Click Agree on the Welcome Screen
    -Decline the default player offer even though I have checked the "do not show" box
    -Select "Show Menu Bar"
    -Select "Show Side Bar"
    This is getting real tiresome. Help in resolving this issue appreciated - IM

    I found the solution and copy/pasted the stept to take. I got it from another subject related to the problem on this thread and it works for me.

    yep, let's investigate the preference files possibility. First, quit iTunes and log back into your usual user account. Next, we'll have to set your PC up to view hidden files and folders. From the Start menu, click Open.
    In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
    Click the View tab.
    In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
    Click OK. Now, in Computer, open "Local Disk C:".
    Open the "Users" folder.
    Open the folder with the name of your usual user account.
    Open the "AppData" folder.
    Open the "Local" folder.
    Open the "Apple Computer" folder. Drag the "iTunes" folder you see in there out onto the Desktop. Now launch iTunes. (This will cause iTunes to rebuild that set of preference files.) *The license agreement will appear for you again.* (That is expected behavior when that particular set of preference files is being rebuilt.)

  • Keep getting multiple song files every time I open ITunes

    Argh. Every time I open ITunes I have two or three of the same song in my Library. What's worse, when I plug in my Ipod, I end up with two or three copies of the same song on my Ipod as well.
    Help!
    Much thanks,
    Jhawk

    McAfee AntiVirus by any chance? See the thread Why does iTunes delete my itunesprefs.xml?
    Or it could be an issue with the SC Info folder. See TS1277 - iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization for details.

  • Error 4002 every time I open iTunes

    Every time I open iTunes up I get an error box stating;
    "We could not complete your iTunes store request. An unknown error occurred (4002).
    There was an error in the iTunes store"
    This box comes up every time I open the application, whether it's been running for the whole day before and I open it the following morning to smaller time gaps when I shut the application down and come back to it shortly after.
    I periodically buy the odd album from iTunes but nothing recently so that shouldn't be doing it. I have checked all available purchased downloads and there is nothing showing.
    I'm running on the current version 11.0.1 but to be honest it was happening before version 11.
    I am subscribed to iTunes Match which I purchased primarily for another form of back up.
    I have read that there may be an issue with iTunes Match and Genius?
    Thanks in advance for any solutions and help.

    Before I'm told to Turn Genius on or off again, where is the option on iTunes 11.0.1 in that if you goto
    Store > Update Genius but no Turn Off/On anymore
