Itunes error message -42406, required Itunes component.

  I have reinstalled the newest Itunes version but I get the same error. Music plays but my Ipad is not recognized. What to do?

Could you post some minimal diagnostics for us, please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck all four boxes, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here.
(Fingers crossed, the list of installed components may give us some clue as to what iTunes thinks is missing.)

  • I have been using itunes on my windows based pc for years but since installing the latest itunes update I have been getting the error message A required itunes component is not installed. Please reinstall itunes. (-42404)

    I have been using itunes on my windows 64 bit laptop for years but since downloading the latest itunes 10.7 update whenever I opened itunes the error message 'A required itunes component is not installed. Please reinstall itunes (-42404)'
    Itunes would still load and play music in my library and I could still sync my ipod but when loading a CD itunes would not recognise the album/tracks and I would need to type them manualing after uploading.
    I have just bought the new iphone5 and went to sync the phone with itunes. itunes recognises the iphone when plugged in via the usb port or when wi fi is turned on but itunes will not allow the phone to sync.
    I spent over an hour the other morning speaking to apple customer support and have ensured I have administer right and that UAC is turned off.
    I was taken through msconfigure and adjusted the startup tab but still no joy.
    In the end I was e-mailed instructions on how to uninstall and then reinstall itunes and component parts.
    Now that I've uninstalled itunes when I try reinstalling I get the following messages during the download.
    The 1st message is;
    '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.'
    When I click ok the next message that appears sometime later during the install is;
    Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) Failed to start Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
    The options I have are to abort, retry or ignore. If I retry the same message comes back and if I  abort or ignore the download continues and I then get the following message:
    'Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run itunes Helper. Please uninstall itunes, then reinstall itunes again. Error 2'
    After attempting to reinstall itunes only some components were installed however itunes would not open.
    It would appear many people have experienced problems with this latest download!

    '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 recently downloaded and installed the latest version of iTunes and now keep getting the error message "A required iTunes component is not installed.  Please re-install iTunes (-42404)".
    Since this, my iPad will not sync, despite resetting it many times.
    I have downloaded and installed the new iTunes more than ten times with no luck.
    Please can anyone help!!!!!!!

    Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
    Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    Can you launch your iTunes now?

  • I am trying to authorize my computer and I get an error message: The required directory was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed. Help?

    I am trying to authorize my computer and I get an error message: The required directory was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed. Help?

    I used Terminal to change the permissions on the folder in question.  I followed the instructions in this article:
    iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
    In my case, the folder was there, so I needed the command to change permissions on the folder, not to create one.   I was hesitant to use Terminal b/c I know that if I made an error I could wipe out my hard drive or render my computer unusable.  So to be SURE I didn't make an error, I carefully copied the command from that page and *pasted* it into Terminal.  Also, before I could do anything in Terminal, I had to go change my admin password (it had been a blank password before and that's not acceptable for making changes in Terminal).  I was just super careful when entering my password or doing anything else while Terminal was open (making sure I didn't accidently hit the spacebar or another key, etc.)  And it fixed the problem right away.
    What was confusing for me was that the iTunes error message said to change permissions in the FINDER, which is what I was trying to do.  It didn't mention Terminal.  What would really be helpful is if Apple included a link to a page like this in their error message.

  • Error message: "Missing required plugins" - Illustrator CS3 will not load

    I am running CS3 Web Prem on Vista, dual core Athlon with 2g Ram.
    Illustrator has stopped working - gives error message: "Missing required plugins. Pathfinder Suite." Or it says "Missing required plugins. ArtConverters.aip PDFformat.aip Pathfinder suite.aip Rasterize.aip"
    I have tried the suggestions from knowledge base article - I have tried deleting AIprefs; I have also tried in new user account - initially worked but not on opening program a second time. I have also re-installed Illustrator.
    Any other solutions?

    Glad to hear it.
    Not sure what possible nuances to performance or memory management there may be to running in compatibility mode. Since I can't run in any other mode, it is hard to make a comparison.
    It seems to run fine though, for me.
    There should be a Windows Update that came out in the last day or so that is supposed to address this issue (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947562). At least thats what it says.
    BUT, after that fiasco with SP1, I am real reluctant to do any more updates.
    SP1 toasted my ability to connect with network resources, external and some internal hard drives, ALL my USB equipment failed to connect anymore. I removed SP1 (uninstalled it per the instructions on the MS KB) but that process trashed the OS and required a complete clean re-install of Vista. A week later I am pretty much back to where I should be (see, my system backups were with SP1. Brilliant, eh?).
    Still have to run many so-called "Vista Compatible" applications in this compatability mode though.

    I have the same issue when trying to open a saved Pages or Numbers document created or modified on my iPad Mini running iOS 7 from my older version of those apps on my iMac (running Snow Leopard and iWork '09). As a work around, export the document as an Excel or Word xlsx or docx file to iTunes on the iOS device, save it to the desktop, and then open and re-save in the older native format.

  • Podcast Feed Error Message "We Require that feeds include a title"

    I am attempting to submit podcasts to the itunes directory and I get the following error message when I provide my Podcast Feed URL.
    "We Require that feeds include a title"
    My Podcast URL:
    http://web.me.com/tommyboltz/TomorrowsSports_Page_Today/Daily_SportsPicks/rss.xml
    I tested this URL by going to ADVANCED on the itunes menu and it worked fine.
    PLease help. I want my Podcast to show up in the itunes store.

    Yep, there is something missing there, but perhaps it is because you have entered the same data twice (or in the wrong place).
    If you look at a Feed, for example in Safari, there is a line at the top which is (of course) a title. I have one at feed://www.extensions.in.th/ext_link.xml and when you link to that, you get "Macs in Bangkok - Information" on the top line. This information is entered in the "Channel" section, and I have <title>eXtensions: Macs in Bangkok - Information</title>
    What I see with your however, is "feed://www.blacklightaudio.com/Site/Podcast/rss.xml" instead of descriptive information. If you go back into the application you created it in (or even a text editor) you will see the relevant line.

    As an additional point, I see that the links themselves within each item are not right. They show with a % sign between the parts, which I am pretty sure is an indication that there are spaces that should not exist.

  • Error message for required inputText components with no label

    I'm using JDev/ADF 10.1.3 (but I suppose that an answer for 11g would still be the right answer.)
    I'm creating a panelForm (or in 11g it would be a panelFormLayout) with a line for City, State, Zip, all required fields. Here is the code:
    <af:panelLabelAndMessage label="#{res.cityStateZip_label}">
       <af:panelGroup layout="horizontal">
          <af:inputText value="#{backing_facilityUpdate.city}"
                              columns="30" maximumLength="30"
                              required="true"
                               requiredMessageDetail="#{res.requiredMessage}"
                               tip="#{res.city_label}"/>
          <af:inputText value="#{backing_facilityUpdate.state}"
                              columns="2" maximumLength="2" required="true"
                              requiredMessageDetail="#{res.requiredMessage}"
                              tip="#{res.state_label}"/>
          <af:inputText value="#{backing_facilityUpdate.zip}"
                               columns="10" maximumLength="10" required="true"
                               requiredMessageDetail="#{res.requiredMessage}"
                               tip="#{res.zipCode_label}">
              <af:validateRegExp pattern="^\d{5}(-\d{4})?$"
                                         noMatchMessageDetail="#{res.zip_invalidMessage}"/>
           </af:inputText>
       </af:panelGroup>
    </af:panelLabelAndMessage>This gives me the appearance I want. But because there is no "label" attribute on the three inputText components, when a user doesn't fill them in, the error message shows the requiredMessage from the resource bundle, with just a dash - no identification of the field. I tried setting "shortDesc" - doesn't help. The "tip" doesn't do it.
    Is there a way to identify which field was not filled in without setting the "label" attribute, or a way to set the label attribute, but not display the label except in the message?

    Thanks - adding the labels with simple=true works in 10g as in 11g. This makes it ignore my "tip" attributes, but I can live with that. I added some spacing so I think people can tell which fields get City, State, and Zip even without the tips. I suppose I could add a line of outputText components under the line, but getting them spaced properly might be a problem. No, I'll live with what I've got.
    Thanks.
