ITunes 11.04 errors (-42404, -50, required component not installed)
Help! Following a prompt from Apple SOftware update I just installed the iTunes 11.0.4.4 onto my Windows 7 laptop. SInce then, everything I want to do on iTunes, I can't. I can't connect to my iTunes library stored on my Mac, I can't log into my iTunes account and every time I open iTunes I am told that a required component is not installed and I have to reinstall iTunes. No matter how many times I do this, the problems persist. HAs anyone else had any experience of this and worked out how to fix it?
Hello prawnboy,
An repetitive error like that would definitely get frustrating. I understand that you have already tried reinstalling iTunes, but I recommend uninstalling the iTunes following the steps in the following article and then trying to reinstall iTunes:

How to install msvcr80.dll after attempted upgrade to iTunes version 11.1.4 on Windows 7?
This worked for me
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Why am I now receiving the error 42404: a required iTunes component is not installed after the 10.5.3 iTunes update? Now, I cannot sync my iphone...I have uninstalled and re-installed several times now without any luck.
Thanks,'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards? -
I tried to install in my Sony Vaio Laptop - Model Name SVF15218SGW Serial No 54****************954. After installation of itunes, when i am trying to connect error message is showing as follows -

i already installed 64bit version. but not connecting my iphone with itunes
PLEASE HELP.!!!!
<Personal Information Edited by Host>Hello Negaz
When you uninstalled iTunes, did you uninstall it by using the article below or just uninstalled iTunes? The best practice is to remove not only iTunes, but also other associating software in the order that the first article give. If that does not work, then check out the second article for more troubleshooting options for connecting your iPhone to your computer.

HT1926 Have you gotten the error "a program required for this install could not be run"
Whenever I try to install iTunes on my Windows 7 PC, I get the error" a program required for this install could not be run". Any ideas?
Burwood, that tip says to repair the Apple Software Update module. I went through the process of uninstalling all Apple programs from my computer first, so that's not the problem (and it's not installed, so it can't be repaired).
I tried installing iTunes with the "automatically update" box unchecked as well, to no avail. Any ideas? -
Hi
Can any one help, keep getting error message,error message when opening adobe premier 10 film file , this file is not supported or required codec not installed,
Thanks
Colin65Steve,
Not to sure what type AVI files they are, the storage devise is at present offshore on a job.
Can you clarify, if you edit/import video footage with adobe premiere 10 and then create a file, the file or the original raw footage is not stored on computer for re-use, if it is stored, is it stored in the original format.
Also please find details of storage devise,

I tried to restore my iPhone 4s through iTunes and received error message that Restore could not be completed due to error 2003. Phone now not recognized in iTunes, with repeated prompts to restore phone. Now phone w/screen with iTunes symbol and USB cord can't use. It appears the phone has been restored, but I cannot activate it.
I disabled my anti-software, iTunes and computer software (microsoft vista) are both up to date, I restarted the computer several times. My usb ports are working properly. I followed the troubleshooting suggestions from apple.yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
no worries -
Just downloaded new verion of ITunes, now when I try to open ITunes get This copy is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall ITunes. Running XP. I do not want to lose everything I already have on ITunes.Does anyone know what the solution might be?
Hi, oldcrow13.
Thank you for the response. Typically this error is caused by installing an older verison of iTunes than you had prior. When you installed iTunes did you download the program directly from iTunes.com, or did you use an older copy of the program on your computer? If you used an older version or are unsure, uninstall all the components one more time and download a new copy of iTunes via the link below.

I print from a Macbook Pro (April '09) OSX 10.9.3 to an Epson Artisan 837 duplex all-in-one which has been functioning perfectly for some time. The other day while duplex printing I got a vague error message to the effect "printer error, turn off machine and power back on." I repeated that process several times waiting a period of time and/or doing it speedily. I even unplugged the printer from its outlet, turned off the computer, waited overnight and tried again, all to no avail. I then found the back tray had a paper jam which I removed and replaced the tray. Since this ordeal I have NOT been able to use the duplex function. After apple's air-print, an Epson Customer Service person told me to add a printer in Systems, printer preferences and to simply add in the same printer (only one i have) but choose not to have it be air-print. This worked even though it gave me Epson Artisan 837 and Epson Artisan 837II (the first with air-print the second not). I must be missing some step this time, however, because although I now have essentially 2 printer choices, the Epson II has duplex printing choices grayed out and gives me the error message "auto duplexer is not installed." Sorry to make this so long, but can anyone help me with this problem?
Thank you. Those are beautifully written procedures.
Looks like it's a network issue. I reach the step, "Adding a printer using the wizard":
You must enter the following URL, you must use the Queue Name you noted down earlier
http://<IP address of Mac>:631/printers/Queue Name
which I do, entering
http://192.168.0.4:631/printers/MP830
and I get the following error:
"Could not connect to the printer. You either entered a printer name that was incorrect or the specified printer is no longer connected to the server."
And then I am toast!
Using the other procedure, I simply don't see the Mac's printers in the Bonjour Wizard's "Browse for Bonjour Printers" window.
Not sure where to go from here -- any ideas?
The Mac's IP (set via DHCP) is 192.168.0.4, subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The PC is 192.168.0.5, I can't find the subnet mask.
Pretty sure it's a network config issue, especially isnce I can Bonjour to my other Mac.

Error : Patch 9.4.2 not installed. when trying to install AcrobatPatchApplication.exe
All is in the titles.
I'm deploying Acrobat Reader and Pro on several thousand of machines, usually without big troubles.
last month I deployed the 9.4.2 update and everything went fine until we discovered the printing problem.
This month I'm trying to deploy the patch, but it seems to not work as expected.
When i run it on few machines with Adobe Acrobat 9.4.2 and Adobe reader 9.4.2 it returns to me the following message in the log file:

When using Fire Fox to view documents at my company's website, the following message occurs:
"ERROR: JAS MiscUtils AX Control not installed!"
This error does not occur when I use I.E.That error message probably refers to a missing ActiveX control, which is why it doesn't work in Firefox but does in Internet Explorer.

ITunes won't run because a required component is not installed
I think a Quicktime upgrade went wrong and now I can no longer open my iTunes and this message appears:
"The itunes application could not be opened. a required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reenstall Quicktime (-42404)"
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Quicktime but it still does not work, and I don't want to risk losing my 50GB of music..
Thanks in advanceDownload iTunes 11 from the Apple site and reinstall. The error message was quite plain in telling you what to do to resolve the error.

Itunes application could not open. Required iTunes component not installed
After 3 weeks of frustration, I would greatly appreciate any help anyone may be able to offer.
I have been attempting to sync my new iphone to itunes. Initially, I received the message *"This iphone cannot be used because the required software is not installed"* when itunes started.
I spent a week trying to fix this error, following suggestions to completely remove all apple software and reinstall, login as a different user, and disable startup programs including antivirus/firewalls (see *http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6326342*). After a week of frustration, I decided to wait for itunes 8, hoping it may resolve my issue.
I installed itunes 8, and now itunes will not boot, with the message *"The itunes application could not open. A required itunes component is not installed"*. I followed the instructions in this post: *http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8056494�*, without success.
I rang the Apple tech support line, and the tech support person was not able to fix my issue. I was told that they did not know what was wrong, and that I should reinstall Vista, or contact Microsoft. I am very reluctant to do so, as I do not wish to risk losing my otherwise stable system, not to mention hours and hours of installation time.
I have never had the experience of having such a high value product (iphone) not working, and being told it was essentialy 'my problem'. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. I have not been able to sync my iphone with my PC for 3 weeks now, and I am becoming very frustrated. I feel quite abandoned by Apple. I love my iphone, but there is no question that this experience will make me think twice about an Apple product in future.
Thanks in advance,
Bartek.

1) Uninstall Quicktime.
2) Download and install an older version of Quicktime (7.5.5 to be exact)
FIXED! Hope this helps the next person -
Unable to install iTunes on Widows 7. Error: A DLL required could not be run. What now?
I am unable to install iTunes on Widows 7. I get this Error Message during installation: There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
What now please?For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
