ITunes 6 - error 1302

I just downloaded iTunes 6 after iTunes 5 wasn't working at all. I tried everything to fix iTunes 5 and nothing worked until I downloaded iTunes 6. Now iTunes 6 opens (iTunes 5 never opened when i clicked on it, no error message, nothing) but this time it gives me this message:
"The iTunes Music Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-1302)."
During my frustrations with iTunes 5 I was thinking about rolling back to iTunes 4.9 and followed the instuctions posted on one of the topics on this site but I decided that I didn't want to risk losing my entire library. I did step two of the process except I did not delete the new iTunes Library created by iTunes 5:
"(2) Copy the iTunes Library file in My Documents -> My Music -> iTunes -> Previous iTunes Libraries to My Documents -> My Music -> iTunes and rename it to iTunes Library (you need to delete the new iTunes Library file there created by iTunes 5 first)"
Does this have anything to do with the new error message I'm receiving? Thanks to anyone who helps.

On the start menu, click on "run". in the space it provides enter "regedit" without the quotes. This will open the registry editor. From here on, it is mouse clicks only.
Find the heading HKEYCURRENTUSER. Click on it.
Find the heading Software inside it. Click on it.
Find the heading Microsoft. Click
Find the heading Windows. Click
Find the heading CurrentVersion. Click
Find the heading Explorer. Click
Find the heading ShellFolders. Click
On the right, you should now see a table. Look for "My Music" in the first column. What does it say in the 3rd column?
Some people have been using the TweakUI application to get this setting straightened out.
Go here and look for a link in the right hand side bar to download TweakUI.exe.
Select your My Music folder, right click, select "Properties". Look to see if it says that file is read-only. Read-only means you can't write to it.

  • Error -1302: Another 7.5 problem

    Like many others, upgrading to 7.5 became a grease fire. On my computer with XP, when I click on itunes, I get a messsage that says "Error -1302 Library file cannot be saved." My library file isn't found in the itunes folder, but there I do find several in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. So, I move the most recent (they're dated)to the iTunes folder, relaunch iTunes, and it does open, BUT I get a window that shows that it's updating the iTunes library. At the last moment, it says, AGAIN, "Error -1302 Library file cannot be found."
    I also downgraded to QT 7.2. I tried downgrading to an earlier version of iTunes, but I received a prompt stating that I could not do that.
    Any ideas? Or should I just wait until the next update and hope Apple has a fix? Thanks and Merry Christmas.

    Okay. Your technique for uninstalling QuickTime is missing a couple of program files, and also probably leaving installation configuration information for QuickTime on the PC. So we'd better try a different approach for cleaning it out.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
    Next, we'll manually remove any leftover QuickTime program files:
    (1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
    (2) Open the Program Files folder.
    (3) Right-click the QuickTime folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
    (4) Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
    (5) Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
    (6) Restart your computer.
    Next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    Switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
    Go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. Does it launch properly now?

  • ITunes error message - "video format is not supported by the iPad" My video is mp4, mpeg-4.

    When syncing my iPad 2....  Why do I get this iTunes error message? "video format is not supported by the iPad"
    My video is mp4, another is mpeg-4.
    I thought the iPad 2 could play almost any format.

    Must conform to these specs:
    Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    Or download an alternate video player,such as avplayerhd.

  • ITunes error 7 (windows 127) VideoToolbox.dll

    I have uninstalled, reinstalled, tried installing the videotoolbox.dll file seperately, and looked up just about everything i can find but nothing matches my exact problem or fixes it. When I try to open itunes i get 2 error messages. The first reads:
    "The procedure entry point kVTCompressionPropertyKey_ThrottleForBackground could not be located in the dynamic link library VideoToolbox.dll"
    After I click ok I get another pop up saying:
    "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes
    Error 7 (Windows error 127)"
    Can anyone help me fix this?
    Thank you
    P.S. I am running Windows 7 64-bit

  • Itunes error

    when i try and open itunes on my laptop i keep getting the error message Itunes new library and it wont let me open it. I've tried repairing it on control panel and i've also tried installing a newer version. Nothing works.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers

    Well, I've been the victim of curious and unsolveable iTunes errors, too, but not the same as what you describe. I suspect it had something to do with updating my computer with an external drive/iPod mounted. Or it was just one of those funny little bugs from Apple. You might try backing up, repairing permissions, repairing the start-up volume, and resetting the PRAM.
    And if that doesn't work or you already tried that, well... Have a good one!
    That's a quote from my favorite cancelled cartoon show, Futurama. Bender says that to Zap Branegan as he is about to get pulled out a breech in the hull into the infinity of space. Seems like it may apply to your situation, too.....

  • ITunes update shows runtime error R6034/iTunes error 7/Windows error 1114. iTunes tells me to reinstall but I've uninstalled/restalled and get same error messages.

    After iTunes update I see this - Runtime error R6034 "application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly".  ThenUninstalled then I also get iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes error 7 (Windows error 1114).  I've tried fixes for runtime but computer says there are no errors.  I've uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes and get all the above messages.  Now when I start up my computer the runtime error pops up, but once it is closed computer works fine until I try to open iTunes.  I've even tried a system restore going back to November.  I use iTunes for audiobooks on iPod and I'm going to get desperate soon. Any suggestion?

  • ITunes error message -39

    Hi,
    I'm running an eMac 10.3.9, iTunes 6.0.4 and an iPod 30gb photo.
    I started having problems a few days before the latest iTunes update came out earlier this week, with iTunes not quitting and it not being able to find the library.
    Now with the iTunes update, I get the error message
    "the iPod cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-39)"
    I have run Disk Warrior 3.0.3 over the disk and the iPod with no change.
    I have run Onyx and Yasu to reset permissions, cron etc etc. with no change.
    There is no reference to iPod/iTunes error -39 on the Apple website nor in this forum.
    I have changed USB ports with no change.
    The iPod appears in the iTunes menu and the battery charges. I can also open the iPod disk and work with the contents.
    I have reset the iPod with no change. I used the 'hold the central button and Menu at the same time' trick, so could go one step further and delete everything from the iPod and start again.
    But that is assuming the problem is with the iPod. If the problem is with iTunes I won't be able to reload all my songs onto the iPod.
    Any hints appreciated.
    Tim
    eMac 1.25gHz   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Problem resolved by restoring iPod to factory settings and reloading all the songs.
    Prior to this I deleted iTunes and downloaded a new version from the Apple site. This did not resolve the error -39 message.
    Then I took the plunge and restored the iPod. Works fine now.
    I'm posting the fix to help anyone into the future with the same problem.

  • HT1926 Have the same problem as many other users: tried to update iTunes on Windows 7 today; first message "unable to locate component- MSVCR80.dll was not found" then "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes - Error 7 (Windows error 1

    I have the same problem as many other users: updated iTunes on Windows 7 on Jan 26, 2014 and iTunes does not open.  First message "unable to locate component- MSVCR80.dll was not found" then "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes - Error 7 (Windows error 126)". When will Apple fix this? Don’t feel like uninstalling all Apple software and then re-installing it as suggested, as I am on a terribly slow internet connection while travelling in the DR Congo.

    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.

    If your problem is only w/iTunes, you really should re-post over in the iTunes for Windows forums instead of the iPod forums.

  • TS3694 itunes error (-42404) -- Okay, getting a little frustrated (but then again, who isn't a little frustrated?). I recently tried to upgrade iTunes software a few days ago but it failed. What is (-42404) error code mean?

    itunes error (-42404) -- Okay, getting a little frustrated (but then again, who isn't a little frustrated?). I recently tried to upgrade iTunes software a few days ago but it failed. What is (-42404) error code mean?
    I get the following:
      (1) iTunes - The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you? Yes/No
      (2) iTunes - The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones could not be repaired. Please reinstall iTunes if you wish to use these devices. OK
      (3) iTunes error message - A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes. (-42404) OK
      (4) iTunes error message - We could not complete your iTunes Store request. A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes. (-42404) There is an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later. OK
    Okay, so I decided to uninstall and reinstall. Funny, iTunes can be found in a program folder, but it does not show up in the programs list. I tried to look for it using the command prompt ("wmic" --> "product get name") but iTunes is not there either. Doesn't even show up in the registry to try to uninstall.
    I just want to "properly" uninstall and reinstall iTunes (plus the other usual suspects, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, & Apple Application Support). If anyone out there has any suggestions, please help! (I'm running Windows Vista -- don't judge/laugh) :-)

    Okay, feeling like an idiot, but will share so others don't have to. I rebooted my computer and that enabled iTunes to reappear in the programs list. Don't appear to be having the same problems as before (no error messages now). Problem solved!
