ITunes version 7.7 has insecure DLL
Installed 7.7 and scanned my PC using Secunia PSI (RC3) and it found the insecure DLL. Tried to send an email to apple letting them know about the issue but got the answer detailed below.
I sent:
Your latest upgrade loaded an insecure dll.
Version Detected: 1.2.2.0
Installation Path:> C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\zlib1.dll
You need to scan your updates before sending them out! You also need another category for security issues like this.
Their Response:
I understand you downloaded the newest version of iTunes and now your computer has detected a virus. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and the frustration this has caused you. My name is Miranda. I'll do everything I can to help.

A follow up email (far less friendly) got the exact same response. You can find the updated DLL at http://www.zlib.net/. It is version 1.2.3. I hope Apple gets it's act together on preventable security issues like this one.
I'm not sure what Keychain solution you tried without result, but I was getting the 11333 error on my Macbook after upgrading iTunes to 7.4.2, and here is what I did to fix it:
1. Open Applications folder.
2. Open Utilities folder.
3. Double click Keychain Access icon.
4. From the Keychain Access menu, select Preferences.
5. In the Preferences window on the General tab, click Reset My Keychain.
Once I had done this, the 11333 error no longer occurred. (Note that resetting the keychain is different from repairing the keychain.)

I have selected to download the latest version. Everything was great before. I now get "can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing" and a 2nd pop up Error 7 (windows error 126). Please can anyone help. I have repaired, removed and installed, and every time the same

Gentlemen, I have wasted a day and probably lost my entire Itunes music collection by allowing an upgrade of Itunes version 11.1.4 Interesting because the other upgrades were routine. This failed to load and the message of missing MSVCR80.dll file and verify that you have sufficient privilege to start system service are of little comfort. Have re-installed numerous times to no avail. Wassup? I need help.
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.

Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

My Mac Mini doesn't recognize my Avengers DVD--it keeps saying "Supported disc not available." I've tried other DVD's which work, but not this one. itunes and everything else has been updated to the newest versions. Help? Also...It doesn't recognize the digital copy DVD.
I have ALL the exact same symptoms as on my home computer.
It sure sounds to me like something on the iPod is broken. If it's under warranty then I would send it back for repair. If not, check out some of the web repair services, such as iPodResQ etc. -
I had my iphone 4 locked to vodafone uk carrier. I connected the phone to itunes on my pc and tried to update the version to ios 6 through itunes. But it has been locked and asks for sim of previous carrier. how can i return to previous state?
You cannot return to previous state. The update re-locked the iPhone
to the original carrier. You must contact the original carrier to see if
they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
Be advised that if your iPhone had previously been hacked/modified/
jailbroken to work with other than original carrier, it may be impossible
for the original carrier to unlock it properly. -
All of a sudden I can't play my itunes, everytime I click on the icon it comes up with an error message " This version of Itunes has not been correctly localized for this language. Please run the English version. There has never been a problem before. How can I choose a language when I can't even open the program? Thanks for any and all assistance!
Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
Restart the PC first.
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", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:

I too cannot download latest itunes version. Apple needs to respond and fix what is certainly a software defect. Am seeing all of the same error messages including MSCVR80.dll is missing from computer. For Windows 7 a "Error 7 (Windows errror 126) appears. How do you get Apples's attention. It is impossible to link up with real support from their website?
Remove old Apple programs, and use Explorer web-browser. (Firefox or Chrome will not do)

i upgraded to the new itunes version 7 and now my podcasts on my iphone4 won't work. i get an error message "temporarily unavailable". has anyone found a solution to be able to listen to podcasts? thanks
I have the same problem, but don't expect Apple to help! I rang their help line and explained the situation and that the same experience is reported all over their forum and they would not assist unless I paid for a one year help subsciption.
This company has lost the plot! They create software that universally will not work then expect customers to pay to have it fixed. Technically I should walk straight into the nearest apple shop and ask for a refund, as the device is no longer fit for purpose!
Congratulations Apple for the best ant-promotional App on the market and your astounding lack of service ethos. -
just downloaded itunes version 10.2.2 + Qucktime and my ipohone has stopped working!
I am told there is a fault in my itunes software and I must reinstall.
Why has this happened, is there a fault with this new version?Whilst I don't have an answer, I hope a knowledge specialist does.I've seen numerous posts like this.After 10.2 update I lost library and haven't been able to actually connect my iphone to itunes for the upgrade. Each time I connect the iphone my system crashes. There was NOTHING wrong with my itunes or system until the point of update. There doesn't seem to be support, despite the extent of this problem. My iphone seems to need an update as its overheating and battery life is a nanosecond. BEYOND FRUSTRATED! All input welcome.
