Error: unknown error (-42408) upon opening itunes 10.7 on imac with OS10.6.8
I get the error below when I open itunes 10.7 on my imac running os10.6.8. This started happening when I upgraded to itunes 11 but did not like the interface. I restored the previous version from Time Machine. Then started getting this error.
issue resolved for the moment. Although the new version of iTunes was not starting on it's own with the iMac. It did start up once I conected my iPhone to the computer...

When I open iTunes I get the error message 42408.
I have googled and tried various solutions including
- uninstalling, downloading and reinstalling. I have done that about 5 times.
- sending the desktop icon to the rubbish bin and recreating a shortcut.
- de-authorising the audible account. My computer goes thru the de- authorisation process and says that the account is deauthorised then when I go to re-authorise under Advanced all that is showing is to de-authorise the account. Weird.
- contacted a tech guy locally and he has no clue. He's thinking it's probably a conflicting software problem. Obviously.
I have to uninstall the iTunes program just so I can use the internet as the new version slows/freezes everything and makes doing anything on my computer ridiculous.
Everything on my computer runs fine when Itunes is uninstalled. Great. not.
I would appreciate some further guidance as unfortunately iTunes seems to have complete control over my life. LOL! Basically if iTunes fails the rest follows... It's a dominoe effect...Update:
I contacted Apple Support and they agreed to waive the $40.00 tech support charge this one time which was very nice condsidering their update caused major problems with my computer. I realise I don't have to accept the updates but when they are released world wide to the public I do expect them to work relatively smoothly.
To cut a long story short after following the tech support advice and uninstalling and reinstalling itunes 10.5 for the seventh time and more than a week of going in circles and days spent away from my business trying to fix the problem - I gave up. Because, as a non computer geek, (no offense - I think cg's are amazing) what I need is a functioning computer and phone to run my business that can be both relied on - all the time. That is what I paid for and expected when I bought Apples' very smart iPhone - I did not expect to be plagued by an update to a program that causes chaos for over 7 days. (And to be frank I've had problems with iTunes for the whole time I have been using it. From importing cd's to purchasing problems. gah!)
I may be one tiny person in a very large universe but I believe a certain standard can and should be expected when handing over hard earned cash to a company with a good reputation.
I'm very disappointed with Apple.
Unfortunatley they have lost a customer...
This is how I fixed the problem:
Yesterday I bought a new smartphone - the Samsung Galaxy phone uses the Android Market and the Kies program. The phone is as good as if not better than the iPhone. The Kies program runs very smoothly on my computer. Downloading Apps is a breeze. My new phone is about the same size as the iPhone and a tad lighter.
Problem solved!
As a side note - I will now save about $250.00 per year on my new prepaid phone plan with Boost compared to staying with my previous post-paid plan. I also get unlimited standard national calls in Australia plus unlimited texting too! Not bad for $40.00 a month.
While this solution worked for me it may not suit everybody. -

Error Message when open iTunes -42032. What can I do?
Error Message when open iTunes -42032. What can I do?
Try 2 solutions: 1. Press both Ctrl and Shift keys then double click on ITunes. Hold keys down until a box appears on screen indicating ITunes is starting in "safe mode'. left click on 'continue" and ITunes will run without closing.
2; Start ITunes normally, then after loading, choose "Match" and then touch "stop" beforre step 3 , Uploading songs...", runs for more than a few seconds. The code problems are in Match; the uploading function in Match. ITunes won't crash if you stop Match soon enough! -

Upon opening itunes it will process the artwork, then proceed to determine gapless playback information. It will analyze a few songs the completely stop working. Any Ideas?
Repeated execution of the "determining gapless playback information" process may also be a symptom of corruption in your iTunes Library.itl file (the main iTunes database). If you have a recent backup it may be worth restoring that (especially if it immediately precedes addition of the skipping files). However, the two symptoms you are seeing may be interrelated, i.e., the "determining gapless playback information" repetition and the skipping music may both be caused by incomplete or corrupt media files. If possible, find and (re)move all the media files - you should be able to do a date-based search in Windows Explorer - and try restarting iTunes. Of course, you should backup your library first so that it can be restored if the media files are OK.

Upon opening itunes, I try to download Software Version 4.3.5 update. Starts off with estmated time of 58 minutes. Download never completes.
I'm not sure about your problem but i can tell you that since my girlfriend updated her phone to 4.3.5 it doesnt let her put pictures on. I hadn't updated my iphone and could put pictures on my phone. Since i have updated my iphone to 4.3.5 i can not put pictures on my iphone either and results in my itunes library crashing and closing. How do i email apple to let them know of this prob?? Sorry i couldn't help you with your problem.

How can I synchronise my iTunes Library on my iMac with the one on my MacBook?
How can I synchronise my iTunes Library on my iMac with the one on my MacBook?
Carolyn:
I have almost 10,000 songs/cuts in my music collection and, because of the poor quality of iTunes music, very few of those songs/cuts come from iTunes. My music came from me ripping it disc by disc over hundreds of hours. I would like to be able to add a disc and have both the iMac AND the MacBook music files (plus an external backup) be updated. Surely there is an intelligent, relatively easy to implement procedure for doing this. Perhaps I am missing something but your response doesn't seem to address the sync issue with all its implications... -
Can not update iTunes because I have iMac with 10.5.8 . How I will sync my iphone 6.0 with an older version of iTunes on my iMac???? There is no update for the software of my iMac and no update for the iTunes.... So how can I sync????
Requirements for iPhone 5:
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.7 or later
The highest version of iTunes you can install is 10.6.3 which will not sync with the iPhone 5.

It's always a good idea to check the requirements before purchasing.
The person I spoke with at 1-800-MY-APPLE gave me totally different info...she said the iPhone 5 would in fact sync with the older version of iTunes and that I could restore from my previous iPhone 4 backup and also bring in my music that way. Hmmm....
I'm inclined to go by the published specs, but now I have to jump thru a bunch of hoops I wasn't expecting to. -
My Mac Mail constantly asks for our passwords before opening our accounts. New iMac with OS x Maverick. We get messages such as " Mail can't connect. Appears to be offline due to network problems." or "The connection to the server (null) in port ) timed out." I have confirmed server connections OK with Cox Communication and our Cox Webmail accounts.
Hi Bob13524,
Man, that definitely sounds frustrating! And it sounds like this issue is occurring with several accounts, so let’s see if we can troubleshoot this. The following resource provides some great information for troubleshooting Mail issues, including information on using the Connection Doctor:
