I tunes error -42404 after installing update

Problem with itunes after update. Windows 7, 64 bit. Have uninstalled, deleted all apple files/folders etc. per other forums (several times with different error msgs). Finally got it to install-had to install Qiicktime separately but am getting following error msg and progrram doesn't work correctly and shuts down.
error msg "A required iTunes component is not installed.Please repair or reinstall iTunes (-42404). Any help would be appreciated.

Hello spiketaz,
iTunes has various components bundled with it that it requires for general usage. I advise that we completely remove iTunes and all of these related components, verify that they have been removed, then reinstall. To do so, please follow the steps in this article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Note: it is important to remove the 7 components in order. Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
If the above does not resolve your issue, I recommend we reset the SC Info folder:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
(See Step 4: Remove the SC Info folder)
Thanks,
Matt M.

TS3258 error 42404 after installing iTunes 10.6

I'm getting the above error after installation. Now itunes won't recognize my ipod. What do I do?

After installing itunes 10.6, system does not connect to itunes, it kepps on saying "Accessing itunes store".
I'd start with the following document with that one:

Hi pholewinski!
I have a couple of articles for you here that I believe will help you with this issue. The first is an article on advanced troubleshooting, and it can be found here:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3297
If following that article's steps doesn't take care of the issue, you can try the things listed in this article, which is about permissions issues in iTunes:
iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1277
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

ICal getting 404 error msg after Lion update

I updated Lion when it came out and now i've started getting a pop up message in my iCal that says: "The URL https://cal.me.com/principals/users/1.173073009/ encountered HTTP error 404. Make sure the URL is correct." Anyone know why or what to do about it? I've seen hundreds of these posted on the web, but no one has offered any answer as to why or a solution. Please help. It's VERY ANNOYING because my iCal keeps jumping up and down in the dock!

I'm having the same identical error message after installing Lion last night. I have had to resort to the app BusyCal until I can get this sorted out. I might add BusyCal has a much cleaner facade i.e. no fake leather surround ... yuck! It loaded all my current appointments from the iCal and syncs perfectly via the Cloud with my iPod and iPad 1.
If I secure any insight into this misque I'll post it promptly.

Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated. How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated? In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated. How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated? In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

iOS 7 allows you to have your apps update automatically. Therefore, the list of what has been updated stays so that you can see what was updated, when and what the release notes say. It has been suggested that they list has a limit, much like Recents. Currently, there is no way for the user to delete the entries manually. Just try not to look at them.

I am getting error "An error ocurred while installing updates (103) when I try to do update for OSX

Whenever I try to update an OSX Update, I get the error message "An error ocurred while installing updates." (103). Has anyone encountered any such error?

Try each of the following steps.
Step 1
If you're trying to install more than one update, do the updates one at a time.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Updates
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Move the contents to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.

After having shut down after installing updates, when I restarted and tried to open a word doc, it started opening ALL the word docs and the only way I could stop it was by"force quit" . This is REALLY annoying!!

May be it is the Resume feature.
System Preference > General > Number of recent items
Uncheck the box next to "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".
Best.

Macbook pro won't boot after installing update 10.9.3

macbook pro won't boot after installing update 10.9.3

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

After installing update IOS I've lost my Quicken data, help?

I've lost my quicken data, after installing update....How do I retrieve?

What Mac do you have? What version of Quicken do you have?
Are you updating Quicken or OS X? What are the details of that update (prior version number and updated version number).
Also, since this is your first post to this forum, be sure to understand that the first reply is not necessarily the last word on the subject (nor even the first word, as in this case)!

IOS 6 Error - Unable to install update

I downloaded the IOS 6 update and clicked on Install Now. and click to Agree. It says verifying update and then I get the error "Unable to install update. An error occured installing IOS 6." I get a choice of Close or Settings. Both take me back to IOS 6 update screen. It does say it's downloaded.
I've tried turning the new iPad off and then back on. My current OS is 5.1.1 ((B206)
Help!

Not sure if this will help on iPads, but I was getting error message when I tried to "Install Update" on my iPhone 4s. Every time I would hit the Install button and agree to the terms I would get the pop up message that the "Software update not available at this time. Try again later." What I did was turn off wifi and went back to install and it worked! Well, it is currently off with black screen and apple logo with upgrade bar so we'll see. Hopefully no futher issues arise. Good luck everybody!

Have a first gen iPad with 4.3 IOS. Can't download version 5.1 because iTunes 11.1 need to be downloaded. Cannot download version of iTunes. " errors occured while installing updates. if the problem persists choose tools>download only and try installing manually". This is as far as I can get. Can't find tools to manually download. When I try to reset to factory settings, I get an error also.

ITunes crashes on iPhone after installing update 3.01

After installing update 3.01, iTunes won't work properly. iTunes starts up, plays a number but crashes after a while. My guess is, that this happens while the iPhone performs other tasks simultaneously (like retrieving e-mail and such). Are there other people with the same experience?

Update: looks to be a memory-problem (?). When I start iTunes and choose to play the firts album/number directly (without using coverflow), it works fine. For a while at least, until my mail is checked again: iTunes crashes again.
