ITunes Latest version error code (-42404)

I have the latest version of iTunes since today (12/8/2012) and It has an error code (-42404). I already tryed re-installing and repairing it. It says I have some missing files. I tried contacting apple and they are no help to me at all. When I connect my Apple device it shoes as iPod, iPhone, iPad, etc (Depending on what Apple product it is) and when ever I click on it, it says I must restore it. Its not my iPod, it's iTunes! Please tell me what to do!

Did you ever solve this problem?  I have a similar problem.  I updated Itunes and now I get 42404 about a missing Itunes component.   Have reinstalled Itunes.  Doesn't help.
I think (not sure) this is contributing to a sync problem with my Iphone.  There I'm getting a message that my sync session failed to start.  Restored phone to factory settings.  Nothing changed.
Thank you for any hel you can give me.

  • Can't install quicktime or itunes I recieve error code 2738.  I'm running windows Vista 32 with Service Pack 2.  I have tried old and new version of both programs.  Also, have gone through Apple's online help with no good outcome

    Can't install quicktimeor uninstall it for that matter and itunes I receive error code 2738 with both downloads.  I'm running Window Vista with Service Pack 2.  I have check for all window update.  I have gone through Apple itune help list.  Even going into cmd to do regsvr32 vbscript.dll which was successfull. Can you help...my son had to register his ipod at the neighbors house..What going on.
    Son even call apple with no help and was give Microsoft number no help there either they wanted me to call HP.....run around

    Excellent news!
    Strange how sometimes the fixit works better than the manual methods, and sometimes the manual methods work better than the fixit. It differs from Microsoft fixit to Microsoft fixit too. (Unfortunately, because these "anomalous 2738s" are pretty rare as install errors go, I don't have a good feel yet for whether or not it's the fixit or the manual method that's more likely to work in iTunes/QuickTime installation contexts.)
    Afraid I'm not very good on earbud troubleshooting, but fingers crossed the folks over at the iPod communities might be able to help:

  • Error code -42404 after the 10.4.1 update

    Anyone getting the error code -42404 after installing the 10.4.1 update? It appears when I open the itunes store, and tells me to restore my ipod to original settings. I've tried reinstalling and I still get the error. I'm running windows 7 64-bit.

    Yes I have 10.5.1.42 and Win7 x64 and have just started getting the same error when iTunes starts up today - although I think iTunes has not updated for a while?
    I have just restored my iPhone 4S to a 3GS backup this morning, and now I see this error and am unable to sync with the iPhone - I was able to do this last week.
    Have reinstalled iTunes as it suggests but this has not fixed it.
    Help!!!

  • I have a problem restaring iphone3 when i conect to itunes send me error code -01?

    I have a problem restaring my iphone 3 when I connect to itunes send me error code -.01?

    Hi
    The report - is far above me and I would liked more description on what You did do.
    • Video Codec used
    • Audio file format
    • ev. Photos used - in what file format
    • free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk ?
    but I made these thought to another question - may be any hint in it.
    (or it makes no sence what so ever)
    A. I never use Finalize as this only takes up lot's of Hard Disk space and takes long time to do for me - and the resulting DVD is non the better as I can see.
    B. From iMovie'08 to 11 - I Share to Media Browser and as LARGE or MEDIUM - as sending HD or other resolution to iDVD gives loss in picture quality.
    C. I NEVER - use Share to iDVD in any version of iMovie - as resulting DVD will not be as good as I want it
    (D. I rarely use iMovie'08 to 11 - as this too costs in quality loss on the final DVD - Non of them can deliver 100% interlaced SD-Video to iDVD but discards every second line in the picture going from Event's to Project's and this can not be mended - I use iMovie HD6 or FinalCut as they can deliver 100%)
    E. In iDVD I always Saves as a DiskImage and test this with DVD-player tool to see that all is OK (especially the sound). Then I use Disk Util tool to burn this Image to a DVD.

  • I'm unable to download Apple Keynotes vids and iTunes gimme an Error code (403)

    I'm unable to download "WWDC 2008 Keynote address / Apple Keynotes" and iTunes gimme an Error code (403). Would anyone tell me what to do?

    Either the service did not install when you set up iTunes, or it has been stopped for some reason.  If you are using Win7, go to the start orb, click, type services at the bottom. Then look in the window that opens for the Apple service(s), and start them all.  Then reload iTunes and try again.  If you don't find an Apple service, then you will need to install iTunes again, and be sure it is the current (10.2) version.

  • TS3694 When i plug in my Iphone to restore it, itunes gives me error code 2009. All i have on my iPhone display is the itunes logo and the usb cable.

    When i plug in my iPhone to itunes so i could restore because i found it, itunes gives me error code 2009. on my iPhone, all that is displayed on the screen is the itunes logo and a usb cable saying to connect it to itunes. Help please?

    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.

  • After a download of an update too long, my iPhone is stuck, I can not use it. I tried to restore it but iTunes (latest version) crashes.

    After a download of an update too long, I decided to cancel it and now my iPhone is stuck. I can not use it anymore.My Iphone can start but after that the apple disappears, I have a black background. I tried to restore it but iTunes (latest version) crashes. Whan can I do ??
    Thanks.

    You mean you tried to hack/jailbreak it. ONLY the carrier a phone is locked to can authorize unlocking it.
    You've voided your warranty and forfeited your right to support here and from Apple.  Congratulations. You now own an iBrick. Hope it was worth it.
