Error Code: -3 and Error -1404

When I attempted to download the latest iTunes update, it appears as though iTunes installed fine, but there was an error with the included Quicktime. The error code is 3.
Then when trying to run iTunes, the message comes up that I need Quicktime version 7.0.3, and what I have is 7.0.2, so re-install.
After going around in that circle a few times, I download the standalone Quicktime installer, but that yields error 1404 and 1402.
Next, I uninstall iTunes, discard the relevant files in the iPod bin folder, and attempt to again install iTunes. Same error messages as originally.
I don't know how to proceed now. I have no access to iTunes or updating my iPod. These "upgrades" always seem to be a headache...
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Harry,
Here is a post that I added three weeks ago. It includes a solution that worked for me. I hope that it works for you! Good luck.
Hey troubled Podheads,
I was one of the legion with problems in downloading iTunes6 and QT7 for Windows until I tried something (I must say that I am not a pc wizard and I don't know the technical reasons for why the following worked, it just did! So if there are any pc geeks out there, be sure to chime in). Anyway, this is what I did. First uninstall QuickTime if you do have it on your pc. If not, just go to the next step:
Go to START, then RUN. Type in regedit and then click OK. Your REGISTRY EDITOR should open. You should see HKEYLOCALMACHINE in the scroll down menu on the left, with a small box to its left. Make sure that the inside of the box has a negative sign - this will open up the next set of subfolders. Next, make sure that the subfolder, SOFTWARE, has a negative sign in the small box to its left. Next, make sure that there is a negative sign in the box next to the subfolder entitled, Apple Computer, Inc. You'll see at least three subfolders: iPod, iTunes and QuickTime. Click once on the QuickTime folder until it is highlighted and then delete it. You will be asked if you want to delete QuickTime and its subfolders. Click ok and then close out the Registry Editor.
Next, download the stand alone QuickTime 7 at this link (you may have to cut and paste this link to open this website):
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
When you download the stand alone QT7, you may get a couple of error messages (I did), but if you repeatedly click ok (like I did), the QT7 player should load with no problems.
Again, I am no pc geek, but this worked for me and I have gained access to iTunes6 (with video capacity) and my complete library is intact. Nothing like trial and error!! Good luck -- I hope this works for all of you frustrated Podheads out there!

Using error codes.txt and error rings don't allow parameter inputs like custom error rings?

The error ring is very useful, especially with its parameterized inputs you can specific with %s, %f and %d parameters. I'd like to do the same thing in my fixed error codes using the error ring so that I can localize them into mulitple languages, but it seems that LabVIEW error codes from project text files never detect or support the parameter inputs, you get a error ring, but no input parameters. If you use the same string in a customer error code, it gives you the parameter input but then its hardcoded and you can't localize it. What gives?
Is there some other way to configure the error rings to use a project file for the error codes but still support the parameter inputs?
Solved!

Hi Mike_King
Here is a VI snippet that I created with two different approaches, in the first one I used the format into string, the second one the function search and replace.
Here are some links with information about the functions that I used.

"error code: -3" and "error -2093" during installation

I just got my fifth generation iPod a few days ago. When I try to install the software from the CD that came in the box, the installation program can never quite finish. It gets through iTunes but then hangs up right as it is about to finish installing QuickTime. Then a window pops up telling me "QuickTime Installation Failed Error Code: -3." When I click on the iTunes icon on my desktop, another window pops up. It says "QuickTime failed to initialize (Error -2093)." iTunes never opens, and I can't put anything on iPod until this gets fixed. I have no idea what to do.

hey b,
thanks so much for posting so many replies regarding error codes: 3, 2093, and 1406. at first i was having a hard time figuring out what to do first and then i sat down to read through your postings. you are the best! i followed the info you explained in this thread and others you referenced to.
i was worried that i wounldn't be able to use my itunes anymore but thanks to you i works now.
i was having trouble updating itunes 6 with Quicktime 7.0.3 and i was installing it and uninstalling it about 20 times. i even tried installing the stand alone QT 7.0.3 but wasn't successful because i didn't clean up the previous installation.
i basically followed the steps b lays out here and crossreferenced the other threads b wrote regarding the specific error messages that would pop up.
anyway i downloaded the installation.exe for QT standalone on my desktop. then i downloaded the itunes.exe on my desktop too but didn't run them. i deleted all previous installations and rebooted my computer. after the reboot i then shut down all applications running in the background (including McAfee firewall and viruscan) and did the stand alone QT installation. when i got an error message 1406 i clicked the ignore button and it installed QT anyway. then ran the itunes install.exe and it worked out great.
thanks b, great job!

System error code 5 (and error code 80240016)

I was having trouble with Windows updater (error code 80240016) when I tried to install SP1, and then found the solution was to open service command and follow the instructions given on this microsoft site (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/957307) . BUT it didn't work, because for some reason access was denied and it kept saying 'System Error Code 5". I don't know what it means and how to fix it!
Please help, I can't update windows until this issue is resolved!

Hi
Sorry that article did not help.
I was under the impression that the article was operating system agnostic and that the settings would work for any version of Windows.
I would recommend that you take advantage of the free, unlimited support that Microsoft is offering for Windows Update issues.
This will connect you directly with the support engineers that specialize in WU problems. Be sure and include an exact description of the problem, including the proxy connection you use.
Windows Update No-Charge, Unlimited Support:

You might also want to peruse the Windows Update newsgroup to see if anyone there may have seen and possibly solved a similar problem.

Ok, error code 6 and error code 3

hello all,
I can read discs and watch dvds. however, when i attempt to write, i started getting an error code 6. so i removed 3 preference files, and started to get an error code 3.
the wierd thing is that sometimes i can burn a cd, but most of the time not.
I am in the middle of re-installing osX, but i know the problem will return again.
any advice?

Did you check your secuirty software settings?
Error 6: All of the steps in this article apply to this issue. Following Troubleshooting security software frequently resolves this error. There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your Registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).

"Error Code: -3" and "error -2093"

I just got my fifth generation iPod a few days ago. I decided to update my iTunes to version 6. I did this with the software cd that came with the iPod. Everything went smoothly until the wizard was just about to finish installing QuickTime. Then this window popped up saying:
Quick Time Installation Failed
Error Code: -3
So I pressed "OK". I was allowed to finish the the installation process. Then I go to click on the iTunes icon and a pop window saying this appeared:
QuickTime failed to initialize
(error -2093)
So I have been running around the apple support site for the past couple of days trying to fix this. My latest endeavor involved uninstalling everything and then trying to install a standalong version of QuicTime. That only yielded this pop up window:
Internal Error 2318
C:\Program Files\QuickTime\Plugins\nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt
whatever that means, as well as this:
Error: -1603
Fatal Error during Installation
I would greatly appreciate any advice.

2TB Ext. Hard Drive is corrupted?, error code -50 and then error code -35 when i try to empty out my trash

okay so a few days ago i received and email for one of my colleagues to do some final editing to a music video. the folder contained 2 videos a rough chops and the main which was about 2-3GB which i dragged on to my external hard drive . and at the time i was trying to install a trial version of parallel lines and me being a newbie to the software i didn't know i need windows installments for it to run lol but yeah... so i was just getting frustrated with the software i kept installing it uninstalling it and then i was thinking my the problem might be because my MacHD space is low (less then 40GBs on my MacHD), so.. i installed it on my hard drive where all my important files are (I'm a graphic designer and do light video editing) video projects and many photoshop projects form 2007 and logs and just a bunch of important files in my hard drive. so because i was so frustrated with the software i wasn't thinking and i installed it on my external 2TB hard drive. and when i realized parallel wasn't working i gave up, uninstalled the program form the hard drive and for some reason when i did that and i tried opening the video my friend had email to me and for some reason it did load up but a few seconds maybe about 10sec in the video is froze and closed my media app (VLC) and when i tried opening other video files it would freeze every few minutes but those specific files i had drag in last were not playing after at least 5 secs and eventually didn't open at all so i restart my computer login and now i get scared i see that my MacBook Pro isn't reading my external hard drive so i search threw forums... i unplug from the wall plug my external hard drive back in my computer and it loaded up but when i opened my external hard drive all my files had that plank white paper icon on my folders (because i have everything organized but subject when you open then drive folder. so... i go in to my projects and nothing, i open my edited photos and nothing... my hart feels like its about to drop and i keep opening files and there is nothing in them, but in "get info" of my drive it shows that there is filled so i go to "disk utility"... i "verify disk" passes ..."repair disk" doesn't past.... i look it up in forums... so i reboot my computer and go to the safe recovery menu. go threw the same ting "disk utility"... verify, pass... repair, pass... so now i feel relieved. i login files in the ext. hard drive load up i tried again to open the files and same thing happens... so now I'm thinking its the files i drag the files to the trash and try to empty and its gone i reboot the computer and my drive didn't load up so i tried unplugin it and back in... drive comes up i notice theres trash.. i tried emptying it and i get the error code -50. and no files are popping up on my external drive and i try to repair/unmount disk and the verify disk doesn't pass and when i click repair disk it doesn't past and another error code pops up -35.... so i felt my drive alone for a few days and yesterday i go the files deleted from the trash and now I'm not getting any codes but when i try to unmount.verify/repair the disk. keeps letting my tits need to be repaired so i click the repair button another error unable to unmount volume to repair...
what do i do? my files still don't show up. and I'm very sorry for the long paragraph but i have to be detailed for you to understand my situation

Windows Update Error Code 80070663 and 64C

I am running x64 Vista on an HP Pavillion dv9000 laptop.
I was cleaning up my desktop when I saw a Word doc I didn't recognize. I tried to open it and got a Windows Installer window saying "Preparing to Install". I have an activated, legal version of Microsoft Office 2007. This is the first time
I've seen that window pop up. I let it try to install whatever it's trying to install and it comes up with an error: "This update package could not be opened. Verify that the update package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application
vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer update package." I am the administrator on this computer. I have full access to all files.
This prompts me to start Windows Update to see if that will fix it. That's where the error codes come in. The windows updates: "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update (KB959209) x64" and "Security Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Service
Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB2538243) yielded the error codes 80070663 and 64C.
I noticed when I press Start, the power button occasionally says "Installs Updates then Shuts Down". I didn't click it because I had work open I needed to work on later. Then when I left the computer and came back, the power button didn't have
the shield on it that said "Installs Updates then Shuts Down". I shut down my computer anyway and it didn't install any updates, and this is where I'm at. I've retried installing the updates via Windows Update and it still shows the original error
codes.
I've researched this error and came across Microsoft Fix It, downloaded as: "MicrosoftFixit.wu.LB.137269729445221149.2.1". I've run it and it did not solve the problem.
Please help,
Jake

Jake, did you ever find a solution to your problem? I'm afraid I can't help if you didn't, but I'm experiencing the same problem.
I also run Vista and had no problems until recently when I had an installation failure on 12th April 2014 for the same two updates:
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update (KB959209) x86 - (Installation status: Failed. Error details: Code 80070663)
Security Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB2538243) - (Installation status: Failed. Error details: Code 64C)
I don't know whether it's these updates that caused the problem or an earlier update that has stopped these updates been installed. The PC is generally working but Word & Excel don't load any more. I get a 'Preparing to install' popup follwed by
the message: 'This update package could not be opened. Verify that the update package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer update package.'
If you did find a solution or any one else knows of one then I'd be very grateful.
Dave.

Error Codes 1630 and 1722 when installing FSX in Windows 8.1

Multiple efforts to install Flight Simulator X Gold on my new 8.1 system always results in error codes 1630 and 1722 at the end of the installation process. Lots of searching the net suggests that this not an uncommon problem. After trying a
number of possible fixes suggested by a Microsoft Support Engineer in a thread on the Microsoft Community Forum without success, he referred me to this forum.
In summary: After initially transfering a working version of FSX from my XP machine to the new 8.1 machine with LapLink it worked flawlessly. A subsequent misdiagnosed printer issue by Dell tech support resulted in a refresh of 8.1 wiping out FSX (and
many other apps). Efforts to reinstall FSX from the either the original disks or a newly purchased set of disks both resulted in the error codes at the end of the installation process. Failed resolution efforts include so far include:
- All recommendations in kb/258496 (including Xcopy which appears not to work on 8.1 at all)
- Clean startup procedure from kb/331796 (8.1 froze up hard in trying it)
- System File Checker per kb/929833 showed "did not find any integrity violations".
- Licensing Reset Tool program per kb/928080 resulted in: "Cleaning up Token Store at: C;\Program Data\Microsoft\SLDL\Software Licensing Failed to delete the token store ERROR --HRESULT 800405"
Bottom line seems to be that this is recurring issue with 8.1 and FSX but neither I or the Community Forum have been unable to find an effective solution. Any advice/help/recommendations would be appreciated. Will be glad to provide needed additional
info as needed.

I am on a Windows 7 (x64) machine. I also have CS5.5 installed.
Anyone have this problem? Please help or point me in the right direction if you can. Thanks!

Thanks Romsinha,
   I tried the above steps, with no luck. I have admin rights on both laptop and desktop I'm trying to install to. I have updated my AAM on both machines with no issue (when using the direct link above). But when I click the 'Try' link to download an application, it shows the scrolling status bar for a few seconds, then "Installation Failed" 'Download error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support. (-7)'   Retry only produces same results.
Both machines are running Win 7 Pro - SP1 64bit
     (laptop - 16 GB RAM & Core i7-2760QM 2.40 GHz processor)
     (desktop - 8 GB RAM & Xeon W3520 2.67GHz processor)
I am running in a corporate setting with I'm sure all sorts of Firewall protection etc...
I'm planning on asking for a CC membership, but wanted to check out the new features first....

Error code 80070022 and 80070057 when trying to backup music from iPod Classic

Hello. I'm attempting to backup all of the music from my 80GB iPod Classic to my Windows Vista computer. My old computer (the one originally with the backed up music) died on me, so iTunes wont backup music from my iPod to the computer. So I am forced to either use a 3rd party transfer software or transfer the music from the iPod's file system. Attempting a backup either of these ways results in errors that prevent the computer from transfering 95% of the music. The 3rd party software offers no information about the error, but copy/pasting from the iPod file system to the PC returns the following errors:
error code 0x80070022 (first error message)
error code 0x80070057 (subsequent error messages for 95% of music files attempting to be copied)
If I try transferring through the iPod's file system on my Macbook Pro, I get error code -36.
I've tried restarting both the PC and iPod, and I've also tried the transfer in safe mode. Both attempts have not solved this problem. Most of the 12,000 songs on the iPod were ripped long ago from CDs I own. I've also painstakingly rated every one of these songs. I'm very worried that one day my iPod will crap out on me and the ratings will be gone forever and I'll have to spend tons of time reripping those CDs again. I've also googled this problem and have found little help.
Other details - this iPod was originlly set up on a WinXP PC. Addionally, I should note that I have no problems connecting to itunes or playing any of the music files. These errors are only preventing me from copying music files to my PC or Mac.
Thank you in advance!

Officejet 4630: Error code 0XB00A7A4E and it's all it does.

Hello, my Officejet 4630 had some problems, yesterday it asked me if I wish to install ne w firmware and I thought this would solve the problems, so I clicked ok.Now it does not do anything anymore.It displays error code 0XB00A7A4E, and beeps all the time. I took out the USB, the power, waited... same thing.The Online forum says that one should open it and take out the cartridges, but when I open it, the cartridges do not come to the middle, to the "removable" area. So it is completely stuck.Any help? Thank you!

Hello , Welcome to the HP Community!I hope you have a pleasant experience here. I'd like to help you with the 0XB00A7A4E error that you are getting on your HP Officejet 4630 e-All-in-One printer. Errors such as the one you are experiencing can either be caused by a firmware issue, or a jammed carriage. It can be difficult to tell which. One of the most common fixes for a firmware error is to plug the printer directly into a wall outlet. The printer has a power moderator built in, so if it is plugged into a surge protector or battery backup, it often causes a power fluctuation. This can result in firmware errors similar to what you are experiencing. I'd recommend trying this first. If that doesn't immediately resolve the issue, I'll get you to check the cartridge carriage inside the printer. Is it locked in position? Are you able to move it at all? If you can move it, I recommend uninstalling and re-installing the cartridges. If not, I'd recommend contacting our HP Phone Support for further assistance:Step 1. Open link: www.hp.com/contacthp/
Step 2. Enter Product number or select to auto detect
Step 3. Scroll down to "Still need help? Complete the form to select your
contact options"
Step 4. Scroll down and click on: HP contact options - click on Get phone
number I hope this helps!
