ITunes error -15000 with AirTunes after autostartup in mini player mode

Hi,
I was looking for a way to submit an error description to Apple but on the support pages I didn't find an email address for such a purpose. Anyone knows one? I'd like to submit the following iTunes problem to Apple:
If iTunes is autostarted from the dock in mini player layout and selected AirTunes output, you ALWAYS get error -15000 if you start the player by pressing the play button too early. If you wait "some" extra time before starting playback then everything is OK. This annoying "feature" exists since version 7 (and maybe before). And even version 9 with snow leopard did not change that. So I fear they even do not know about that. So hopefully someone from Apple will read this... Please! If you find no other way to solve the problem - disable the buttons until everything required to function is initalized properly!

Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle. One user in the thread Jolly posts mentions success after restarting an Airport Extreme in the network. I was very skeptical, but I figured I would try it so I could say I did. Lo and behold, it worked.
With all of the problems I've seen, all of the weird workarounds people have had to implement, there's obviously some ongoing janky-ness Apple needs to address with AirTunes, but for the moment I seem to have found the right fairy dust to sprinkle on the problem.
Thanks, Jolly Giant!

How itunes cannot sychrnoise with iphone after upgrading latest IOS

Sounds like your iPhone was previously hacked/jailbroken. If true, try using google.

Since iTunes update 8.1.1, iTunes keeps switching to mini-player mode

As the title says, when I open up iTunes after my macbook has been booted it keeps switching to mini-player mode instead of the full library. Sometimes does it when I open up iTunes whilst playing music as well. Never had this problem before seems to have started after the 8.1.1 update.
Any ideas how I could fix it or is it a new bug, tried deleting the preferences file in my home directory.

Thanks for that. The answer was really quite simple! For some reason with iTunes 8.1 it is necessary to turn of Airport Express speakers in order to watch music videos on the computer: before the videos played normally (without audio through AE speakers).

Full iTunes window pops open when in mini-player mode?

Hi
I've noticed with the most recent version of iTunes in mini-player mode on my iMac, when I hover my mouse pointer downwards towards the dock, the full window springs open.
I'm not hovering near the iTunes icon, and the pointer doesn't hit the mini-player, so not sure why this is happening? No big issue, but it is pretty annoying! It's bit random, but seems to happen mainly with that downward motion of the mouse pointer.
Anyone else noticed this?? I'm on iTunes 11.0.4, OSX 10.6.8 on an iMac.
Thanks!
Ben

Judy, I searched around and found the post I pasted below; you can use your Spotlight searcher and see if you have the Quartz Composer Visualizer plugin in my 'internet plugins' in the library folder.

{{Thanks Limnos.
I had Repaired Permissions and Backed Up, not resorted to external booting.
The problem was found to be 2 iTunes plug-ins:
1. LEDSpectrumAnalyser.bundle
2. Quartz Composer Visualizer.bundle }}

ITunes error - will not work after trying to update to 7.2, then to 7.3

I have tried to update to both 7.2 and to 7.3, but both updates have failed. Now I am stuck on 7.1 with an error, where my iTunes will not operate and I cannot uninstall because it comes up with the same error that I get when I try to install or uninstall.
Below are links to images of the errors:
Here is the error I have currently:

Here is the error I get when I try to reinstall, update or uninstall:

I would appreciate your assistance!

It sounds as though you need this article on trouble installing iTunes:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
You need the section at the end after "Important: A majority of customers..."
I think you need to do a full removal of iTunes and quciktime with clean up. But the important bit is to clean up the installer files with the MS Installer Clean Up Utility.
If cleanup doesn't seem to work, it is worth checking you have the right version of the Windows installer. If you find it in add remove programs, it should say "Windows Installer 3.1 (KB893803)"

Itunes error message - 42408 even after latest download...thank you

I've been getting a message saying Itunes cannot be accessed - so just updated to Itunes 11.1.3 but still getting error message -42408. Any thoughts?
Thank you and Happy New Year

Hey there davidgor2!
I have found an article that should help you resolve this issue with updating your iTunes. The article can be found here:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
and the specific part of the article you will want to look at first is right here:
"Error 42023" through "Error 42408"
These alerts might occur when trying to authorize iTunes or during launch when iTunes checks for authorization information.
Install the latest iTunes from apple.com/itunes/download/
Remove the SC Info folder.
If that does not resolve the issue, see iTunes: "Error 42408" or "Error 42404" after upgrading to iTunes 9.0.3.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Regards,
Braden

Service Manager "Error communicating with component" after moving SQL servers

We just moved our SCCM database to a new SQL server and ever since, I've been getting stumped as to why I'm getting the following error each time I try to query the status of anything under the SQL server:
Error communicating with component
Admittedly, I'm a total novice when it comes to SCCM and I was doing this under the loose supervision of my predecessor (this is his last week). I appreciate anyone offering any advice as to where I should start, and I apologize I'm not knowledgeable
enough yet to know exactly what info to provide you with initially!
Thanks!

Thanks for the quick replies!
@Peter: Currently using SCCM 2012 R2 running on a 2008 server, with the database having moved from SQL 2010 to 2012. We have a single primary site with 5 additional distribution points supporting around 260 users.
We did only change our SQL server and the guide you posted is the exact one we used. Everything seemed to look exactly like the guide. Afterwards, when checking the Configuration Manager Server Manager, under Servers, it had my SCCM server and
new SQL server both listed. The components listed under my SQL server were as follows:
SMS_COMPONENT_MONITOR
SMS_EXECUTIVE
SMS_MP_FILE_DISPATCH_MANAGER
SMS_OUTBOX_MONITOR
SMS_SITE_SQL_BACKUP_SCCM01
SMS-SRS_REPORTING_POINT
However, when we query those components, we get "Error communicating with component" on all of them except SMS_SITE_SQL_BACKUP_SCCM01. I'm slightly suspicious of our certificates but I'm not well-versed enough with them to troubleshoot effectively
on my own.

ITunes stopped playback of podcast when switching to Mini Player view

I'm using iTunes 10.1.1.4 and noticed that when I was playing a podcast and switched to the Mini Player view using the pull down menu (View -> Switch to Mini Player), the playback stopped completely.
I don't use iTunes a lot, but I would not have thought that this is a set up issue, most likely it is just a bug. I repeated the steps again later and it behaved correctly. But I have reproduced the playback stoppage issue several more times today listening to other music podcasts. I also had problems attempting to re-start a paused playback - I had to try several attempts before forcing it to re-load.
Anyone else experiencing this?
I tried to file a Support Ticket so that I could report this, but I was unable to navigate through without getting to a "pay for incident support" - I just want to report this to Apple.

Thank you "the fiend" - I have submitted some feedback using the link that you gave, let's see if anything happens. It does not look like it is the appropriate place to report an issue, but it might lead to a case being created?
Cheers!

ITunes 7.4.1 error -3256 with airtunes -- doesn't anyone test this stuff?

I have problems with iTunes 7.4.1 and my Airport Express. Using iTunes to send Airtunes music runs for a bit, then hangs up. I also get error -3256 when trying to run both Airtunes and computer speaker. Isn't anyone testing this stuff before its shipped?

This isn't too helpful, but I'm not having this problem, so one piece of the puzzle is that it's not a consistent problem.

ITunes error messages while syncing after 0SX 10.6.6 update

After installing the recent OSX 10.6.6 update, I am receiving the following error messages in iTunes when trying to sync both my iPhone 4 and my 1st generation Apple TV:
iPhone error message:
"The iPhone cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to."
Apple TV error message:
"iTunes cannot sync photos to the Apple TV because of a problem on your computer. The disk could not be read from or written to."
I'm not sure if this matters - but in the iPhone error message - it does not state if the "disk" is the iPhone or the computer - but in the Apple TV error message it does make this distinction, saying that the problem is on my computer and specifically mentions photos.
Now, once I dismiss either of the error messages, the sync progresses normally and completes successfully. Also, I have checked my computer (MacPro) and all diagnostics (including the internal hard drives) pass with flying colors. And the computer is working fine otherwise - so I have no reason to believe that there is a hardware problem with the computer. And I would find it very strange that I would have a hardware problem with both my iPhone and Apple TV appearing at the exact same time. And finally, both the iPhone and Apple TV are performing normally when in use.
Since this problem did not start until after running the 10.6.6 update - logic tells me that is where the problem probably lies.... the question is how to resolve it - anyone have any ideas?

Both those symptoms are consistent with a damaged photo cache. If you remove your existing photo cache as per the instructions in the following document, does that get you past the error?

ITunes error: library file locked after trying to reset 3rd G ipod

So I haven't used my 3rd generation ipod in a about two weeks, but last time i used it it was fine. Today when i turned it on, it displayed a folder and had "www.applecom/support/ipod" written underneath then automatically shut itself down.
When i tried to connect it to my macbook, itunes popped up, and it said: "your ipod needs to be restored, please click here to restore it." and i did. However, after downloading the software, it gave an error and said it could not be restored. So, i tried again, same error. I then disconnected the ipod and reconnected it. This time, when the macbook said it could not read the disk, it directed me to disk utilities.
In disk utilities, I tried to erase the ipod, but that didnt work. Then it tried to open itunes, but then it gave me that deathly error:
The iTunes library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to write the file.
the error given when i tried to restore my ipod was: 1418
now my question(s) is:
1. how do i get itunes to start working again? EDIT: i figured it out
2. is there still any chance to save my ipod? How?

EDIT: found the answer on the ipod topic:

Itunes not working with airtunes

i have just moved into my new apartment and i am trying to set up my airtunes with all the same components that it worked with before the move. all the wires are placed in the right place and function ok. my airport express works fine for using internet. i plugged the proper cords in the airport and opened itunes...no drop down box in the corner for airtunes. the correct box is checked in the itunes advanced menu. i have tried everything from restarting the computer, restarting the airport, updating the airport, etc. my comp has all of the latest updates. one thing i found a little strange is that if i unplug the airpot and then plug it back in while itunes is open, the box appears and i select my airtunes network, however, it fails in attempting to connect to it. if i close itunes and open it back up again, the airtunes box in itunes is gone. please help me! i am happy to answer any questions!!! -Joe

I got the same issue and solved it. It seems that iTunes 8 introduces a new behavior. In order to have it sending music to an Airport Express, you have to make shure that several parameters are correctly set:
the firmware of the AE must be upgraded to 6.3
your firewall settings must allow "iTunes music sharing" and the UDP trafic must not be blocked (see in advanced options)
allow IP V6 to configure automatically
in other post some users also had to repair authorisation. It was OK for me.
The 3rd item was wrong on my iMac (IPV V6 disabled). I set IP V6 to automatic, then restarted iTunes... and it worked fine. Please see also this topic in the forum: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1701084
I hope that this can be reproduced to make your configuration running smoothly.

Itunes error message with smc modem

I recently had a new SMC modem installed by Time Warner Cable and since that time I am having trouble downloading apps or updates (unless they are very small). I have issues with the ipad that tell me the app will be available the next time I log onto my computer, but when I log into my MacbookPro, I click on the updates to install and receive an instant error message that the server is not available - but my server is available for everything else. This has been happening for over a week. I can buy a song on the Macbook without an issue so it is accepting my login for a song purchase and it downloads the song with no issue. I had no issues with my old DLink modem. Please help since I know have several apps I can't get to on 3G, wi-fi, or my computer.

I got this message regarding my iTunes purchases when I got a new computer. I had to go into the Store/Authorize Computer... menu selection in iTunes and provide my iTunes Store ID and password. Don't know if this applies to you, but it fixed my problem. Even if you aren't on a new computer you might want to give it a try.

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.
If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT) as you start iTunes, then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.
