ITunes Error 42404 after update

I have updated to 11.0.3.42 and now have an error 42404 come up, I have uninstalled itunes twice and reinstalled but still get the same message. What am i doing wrong ang how can I fix it?

Hi IPuppy84,
If you continue to the the Error 42404 message even after attempting to reinstall iTunes, you may want to check out the "Specific Conditions and Alert Messages" section of the following article:

  • TS1717 Itunes Error -42404 After Cleaning Computer

    I recently cleaned by computer using CCleaner. Now, I am getting an error message saying I need to reinstall itunes. However, I can bring up my itunes, so I know it hasn't been erased. Also, my computer is not recognizing my ipod nano. Will reinstalling itunes solve these problems? Will any of my data be most?
    It said "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?" I said "Yes"
    "The software required for communicating with ipods and mobile phones could not be repaired. Please reinstall itunes if you wish to use these devices."
    Then, "A required itunes componet is not installed please repair or reinstall itunes" -42404

    Hmmm.
    Let's try something relatively simple. Download and save a copy of the installer to your hard drive (don't run the install on line and don't start the install just yet):
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Now right-click on the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) that you downloaded and select "Run as administrator".
    Does that go through any better for you?

  • 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!

    how to solve error 1669
    STEP 1: Delete iTunes from your computer. Also make sure you remove the cache(open itunes then press edit wich is located on the tool bar and then click on preferences and then go to advanced and click on reset warrnings and reset cache).

  • 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.

  • Error message after updating to iTunes 9

    I updated my iTunes to the latest version- iTunes 9. After installation, I get message: **yBrowser.exe: Entry point not found**. The procedure entry point sqlite3preparev2 could not be located in the dynamic link library sqlite3.dll. I re-started my PC and the message came up: *iTuneHelper.exe- Entry point not found*. The procedure entry point sqlite3preparev2 could not be located in the dynamic link library sqlite3.dll

    Hi
    I had this problem.
    I fixed it by downloading a new version of SQLite3.dll.
    Find the old one in the System32 folder replace it and re boot.
    I got it from here
    http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/sqlite3.zip?0VHfQ0VFmQ
    Worked for me but try at your own risk
    Thanks to GSR852 from Xsellize for pointing me in the right direction.

  • Itunes error -42404

    Well, unlike a previous thread about this error code, my itunes will open and play song and music videos. The catch is that it will only play songs and videos that i purchased in the last 4 months or so. All movies and 90% of the songs after that will not play. Movies wont play period while songs pop up the authorize box and when i go to authorize it pops up the "Unable to authorize. iTunes is missing a required component Error -42404"
    Now i recently had to archive and reinstall OSX 10.4 because a failed update corrupted many of my programs. Now everything else works fully except iTunes. And i have current itunes and quicktime.
    What do i do now??

    Hi,
    Try downloading and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Can you download anything from the iTunes Store, like the Free Single of The Week?
