ITunes Error 42408 After 9.03 Upgrade

I am receiving the error 42408 after upgrading to 9.03. Google did not yield any results. The error appears attempting to authorize my Powerbook.

I had the same problem. Check the version of iTunes via the About dialog. Mine said 9.0.2 despite having upgraded via system updates, itunes and even downloading the whole package again.
Turns out, the dock iTunes link is running the old one. Basically, remove it from the dock, and re-drag the itunes from the applications folder back onto the dock. This then started 9.0.3 for me, and my iTunes account worked, the itunes store worked and iphone sync worked as well. Phew.

Error -42408 after downgrade n iphone content unreadable

Hi,
I recently deleted the new itunes 11 from the apps folder, downloaded and installed the old itunes 10.7 in it's place instead. But everytime I start itunes, I get the error -42408 and itunes keep telling me it cannot read the content of my iphone and I have to restore it. This never happened prior to the upgrade to version 11 so I am thinking it's a problem with the downgrade?
Is there something I am to delete or??
Thank You.

What you need to do depends upon how you did the downgrade.
=Downgrading from iTunes 11 to iTunes 10.7=
You may be able to go back with Time Machine but this may involve restoring other items too (https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441404). Alternatively:
Back up your computer first, in case the unexpected happens.
Quit iTunes.
Get iTunes 10.7 from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576 or the direct download link at: http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
Do a few preparatory steps by making sure all iTunes components are not running and cleaning old files. See https://discussions.apple.com/message/20475394. Do steps 3 and 4. Steps 6-8 may be also useful but I don't know if they are essential. Some of the other steps are not necessary, duplicate steps listed later in my post or are perhaps even unhelpful in the process.
Replace the iTunes 11 application with iTunes 10.7. Simply dragging the application to the trash may not work. Lion (OSX 10.7) and newer systems have iTunes integrated into the operating system and deleting is a bit more involved. Two ways to do this are:
1. Use the shareware Pacifist utility (http://www.charlessoft.com/) to install iTunes 10.7 including all associated system files. Details at http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=16400819&postcount=6
2. Check this reference on how to delete the iTunes application itself:
Delete iTunes in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion - http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/13/delete-itunes-in-mac-os-x-10-7-lion/
After deleting the application there may be other files that need downgrading too. See the note about error -42408 at the end of this post. You may want to tuck these away somewhere safe until you have completed the installation of iTunes 10.7. I have not tested this but ideally if newer versions are not found then the installer will put in the old versions. This may include these files in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ which apparently get updated by iTunes 11:
AirTrafficHost.framework
CoreFP.framework
DeviceLink.framework
iTunesAccess.framework
MobileDevice.framework
After doing one of the two procedures above you will have to rescue the most recent old iTunes library from your iTunes > Previous Libraries folder. Rename it "iTunes Library.itl" and replace the existing one in the iTunes folder. A newer version of iTunes irreversibly updates your library file so you have to replace it with the old one or you will get an error message. Note, this will revert your library to the version at the time of the upgrade and you will have to update any changes made since. See:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20401436 - turingtest2 11/2012 post on rebuilding empty/corrupt library from previous iTunes library file after upgrade/crash.

Alternatively, check https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441424 which requires you have a Time Machine backup (though possibly if you remove the newer version of these files old ones may be installed with the iTunes 10.7 installer - untested).

Error 42408 after upgrading itunes

I just followed the prompt to upgrade my itunes to the latest version. After the installation I am getting a popup that says "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the ipod [my name]. Would you like to authorize this copmuter for items purchased from the iTunes store? If you do no authorize this computer, 224 items . .. will be removed from the iPod." Then when I click "Authorize," and put in my password, I get the following error message: "We could not complete your itunes store request. An unknown error occurred. (-42408)" In smaller letters it then says: There was an error in the itunes store. Please try again later." When I clear that screen I am back to the popup screen. So far I have not detected that anything has been removed from my iPod, but I have not tried clicking "Cancel" or "Don't Authorize" on the popup screen. So the popup screen is just staying there, asking me if I want to authorize this computer. How to clear this problem? It almost makes me want to ignore future requests to upgrade iTunes...

sorry.. posted to wrong place .. I'll repost

Error 42404 after 10.5.3.3 upgrade

Has anyone got a fix for this or is it a software issue on iTunes part. I have windows 7 64 bit and until yesterday when i did the upgrade i had no problems. I have tried repair and uninstall and reinstall which i have done and i still get the message " A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes (-42404)" it would suggest that there is something missing with the install of iTunes as iTunes worked fine up until i did the upgrade yesterday. I have noticed a number of similiar issues here and on Google so many many people have this same problem after upgrading to 10.5.3.3

OMG!! I have fixed it ok guys here is the answer for all Windows 7 pplz upgrading to 10.5.3.3 who have the following errors:
Error 7 Windows Error 5
ItunesHelper didnt install
Itunes didnt install
mobilehelper didnt install
error -42404
Here is the fix:
Firstly thank you to Chris, Senior Advisor at Apple he doesnt know it yet but he set me to thinking and i can now say i have solved it. Before you start make sure you have completed the unistall sequence elsewhere on the forum.
Firstly go to the c:\program files (x86) then go to Common Files now here is the trick guys you may think you have got all of C drive to show all hidden files but you may not have so click Organise, Folder Seach options and Click and click View then ensure the Show all files is selected. Now you may notice you have an Apple folder which may not have been there when you did the uninstall of the sequence listed elsewhere on this board.
What the main issue here is if you installed iTunes but did not right click and choose install as an administrator then you will not be able to delete this folder I dont know if this is a Windows or Apple or both and why certain areas still don't show all files when you have this in C: i don't know either.
What you need to do is right click then choose properties then go to Security then to advanced then to Owner if it says Unknown in the box you need to click edit then choose an administrator listed then click ok, ok on the next box and ok all the way back. Now double click on the folder and click ok to the next box and you are in and you can go back and delete this folder. Now the bad news is you have to do this to every single folder in everything in the apple folder. This is painful but you may know of software or a trick in windows that will reset every permission in every folder under apple but i did every single one myself. Then download fresh iTunes and Quicktime. Right Click Quicktime and run as administrator do the same with iTunes 10.5.3.3 and your done mine is now back up and running woohoooo. Side note i did empty the recycle bin and reboot before i did the reinstall.
Cheers all

Error messages after upgrading kernel (devfs to udev) [SOL]

when installing the new kernel i got a message to change my menu.lst so it changed "/dev/discs/disc0/part3" to "/dev/hda3" (and nothing else) cause of udev instead of devfs.
after rebooting i get few error messages:
[after network start]
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth0: unknown interface: No such device
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device
etho0: unknwon interface: No such device

kjs wrote:I'm also having an issue after upgrading neither eth0 nor eth1 are showing up in /dev .... I think it's due to the switch from devfs to udev...
for the record - network interfaces never show up in /dev - they're not normal devices
edit: I guess I should provide some help...
ifconfig and "ifconfig -a" will list network devices (also in /proc/net somewhere). If you do not have a network device that means that your module is not properly loaded for that device.
This should have nothing to do with a devfs/udev switch and everything to do with a kernel upgrade.
Just for some more info, can you please report the output of:
· lsmod
· uname -r
· ls /lib/modules
· ifconfig -a

I purchased and downloaded Lightroom 5.5. After installing it, I was prompted for the serial number. When I entered it an error message appeared saying it was an upgrade serial number and I need to enter my original purchase number. This was my original purchase, not an upgrade. Now what do I do?

It sounds like you bought an upgrade from Adobe. How much did you pay? The upgrade is about $80, and the non-upgrade is about $150. If you bought an upgrade version and had no previous version, you would see what you're seeing.
If that is the case and I were you, I'd call Adobe, and arrange for a refund and to order the correct version.

Sync Error - new after BBerry forced a Desktop Manager Upgrade

When I try to sync my Curve 8330, I get SYNCHRONIZATION ERROR: COL TransBase: FillDefFolderInfo: Unable to get default folder for Calendar
This started right after Blackberry forced me to upgrade the Blackberry Desktop Software to v.5.0.186. Any ideas?

It would appear that somehow the calendar settings in the BB were changed to 30 days, somehow, maybe by the downloading and sync with the updated desktop software. Once I changed the BB to FOREVER, it appears I'm getting proper syncronization of my calendar between the software and the BB. No messages to delete the majority of the dates.

Error message after Upgraded from 2.53ghz (533 FSB) to 3.2ghz (HT)

Hi! everyone,
As you can see i'm a newbie on this board, however I've frequently visited here once in a while. Anyway, the problem I currently have after I upgraded my cpu from 2.53 ghz to 3.2ghz HT (Northwood) is that I not very often (few times so forth since monday) see this error message after reboot my pc :
***Message starts here***
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is the first time you've seen this stop error restart your computer. If this message appears again, follow these step:
Run system diagnostic utility supplied by your hardware manufacturer. In particularly run a memory check and check for faulty or mismatched memory, try changing video adapters.
Disable or remove any newly installed hardware or drivers....etc.

....................................... ........etc.....
****Message ends here****
As i stated before I've never seen this message before the upgrade. So, here is my configurations:
BEFORE
875P NEO-LSR w/ BIOS v. 2.0
2.53ghz 512 FSB CPU
9500 Readon 128mb video card
Dual IDE HD 80gb & 160 gb (NON SATA)
1gb Dual channel memory (512mb on channel 1 - 512mb on channel 3) (KINGSTON pc2700 module)
CURRENT
857P NEO-LSR w/BIOS v. 2.0
3.2ghz 800 FSB 512mb (L2 cache) CPU
9500 Readon 128mb video card
Dual IDE HD 80gb & 160 gb (NON SATA)
1gb Dual channel memory (512mb stick on channel 1 - 512mb stick on channel 3) (KINGSTON pc2700 module) *
* may be this causes this error message because as I read it on the discription page of the 875P NEO-LSR that it will only support DUAL channel (PC3200 type) with HT CPU. So, i suspect this may cause the problem but I havent try to rearrange my memory to one channel (1 x 2) yet.
I will greatly appreciate it if someone in here who may has experienced it before or know what all this means. Please advise

Thanks for your advise bejon2000.
