My MacBook, 2008 - iTunes update stopped functionality

The version to update says iTunes 7; after downloading and installing, mine shows iTunes 10.6.1(7). Now when I start, I get error -42408.
This was my iTunes home. After I tried to install the automatic update, I could no longer sync portable devices, watch videos previously downloaded, or download new videos. this machine just doesn't recognize them. I had to restore  my iPod & Now use my MacBook Air for new downloads...,but my main music library is on the older MacBook (MacBook 4,1). How can I get my Music out? Can I revert to older iTunes version?

I had the latest app for iPhoto.  After reading the similar problems being had I am looking at the update for iPhoto and OS X. THANKS

    Hey jeight26,
    When you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, did you use this article?
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    If you haven't already done these steps, this section contains information that might help your situation, as the order and manner which you uninstall has an effect on the outcome:
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    Sincerely,

  • MacBook 2008 wifi suddenly stopped working and says no wifi hardware. Took it to an apple shop, they said it could be the airport card but wouldn't do anymore then that.  Any help on how to fix this? How do I know if it is the airport card or not?

    is there anything else I can try first?
    thanks

    If the technician at the shop is competent, he has given you a diagnosis that should have identified the problem.  You could run the Apple Hardware Test to verify the findings:
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201257
    Note the Apple Hardware Test is not definitive.
    Go to the iFixit.com and Powerbookmedic.com web sites.  They have parts and installation instructions.  To install an Airport card is fairly easy.

  • Itunes update stops keyboard

    After upgrading to itunes 11.1.4 my keypad will not type.  When I press "w"  I get a new window in Safari.  Same if I type "i" and google information screen pops  up.   This upgrade has ruined the MacBook early 2008 Mac OS 10.7.5.  Heck, the keypad won't type in itunes when I try to search for a song.  What to do?   Thanks, Lee

    Sounds like either your fn key is stuck or maybe Cmd, Ctrl or Otp.

  • Itunes update stopped and now can't open

    I downloaded the latest version of itunes and whilst in the middle it stopped (not sure if this may have been my fault!!). Anyway itunes won't open. I've tried reinstalling and when i do so it doesn't work as it says i need to be logged in as an administrator which i am as i am the only user for my laptop.
    real-time player still works fine though. I have also tried to uninstall itunes via control panel but it doesn't show as a program anymore.
    Can anybody help??
    Thanks

    I don't know about a couple hundred -- that sounds excessive -- but we all get those Java repairs whenever repairing Permissions.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US
    You might want to see if running Applejack will help. Be sure to do the underlined. Some of this will be redundant, since you've already done Permissions repair. But no harm.
    Download:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/applejack/
    Article on using:

    It runs in single user mode, where it runs more safely than other maintenance/cleaning programs because there is less chance of interference from the OS. After installing (you won't see it in the Applications Folder) hold CMD-S at startup. You will get a black screen with MS-DOS like text. Just follow the prompts: type in "applejack AUTO" and it will run through the following:
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Trash old Log files.
    You can also run tasks selectively and for specific users by typing in "applejack." After running in "AUTO,"  you can go back and run it again as "applejack," steps 3 & 4 only, for your user.
    The first reboot will take much longer than usual, as it rebuilds caches. It may take several restarts to see the benefits. Because of the deep cache cleaning in AUTO mode some applications may tell you they are being opened for the first time.

  • Installing iTunes updates stops iTunes from working in Windows 8.1

    Last year after installing Windows 8.1 I had problems with iTunes ( couldn't burn to disc and could not uninstall after being advised by Apple Support that uninstalling was the solution), after assistance from the Windows community my problem was solved. I installed iTunes 12.1, I believe it was.
    Then in early January 2015 I received  an update notification and installed it but again started getting error messages and could not run iTunes, error was  -
    "ITunes.exe - entry Point not found"
    The procedure entry point "ADadPolicyEngine_DidEnterStation" Could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\iTunes\iTunes.dll.
    Then the message
    ITunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes
    Error 7 (Windows error 127)
    Part of last years solution was the correct procedure to uninstall iTunes (remove all Apple programs) this I followed again and reinstalled iTunes. It again worked correctly until 30.1.15. I opened iTunes and was told there was  a newer version available which I installed which it completed ok but then it checked for any other updates and foolishly I installed it and got the error message -
    GNSDK_MANAGER_DLL. is missing from your computer reinstall
    After clicking ok I get the further message
    ITunes was not installed correctly, reinstall
    Error 7 (Windows error 126)
    Whilst I know how to uninstall and reinstall it is a bit of a pain to have to go through quite a long procedure to correct this problem. As this seems to be an ongoing problem does anyone know a solution ?
    I believe the suggested update is the same (12.1) that I install from the iTunes site, so why does it tell me to update I ask .
    It would appear that this problem relates to the update from iTunes and not Windows
    Obviously not installing updates is an option but not the answer.
    Any advice will be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Latest iTunes update stops downloading at 19.40MB

    ITunes hangs at 19.40MB
    Running Windows 8 64bit with all updates installed

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • 30 new songs dissappeared when apple update stopped sync in progress!

    so i downloaded songs on my ipod and later plugged my ipod into my computer to download them to my itunes library.. as they were syncing to my library a stupid itunes update stopped the progress mid sync and i cant find my 30 new songs anywhere... is there anyway i can get those back?! or is this another apple dissappointment

    i resolved my problem.. when u go to ur itunes library they have a fancy purchased tab in the itunes store that has all the purchased songs you dowloaded.. so they let u re-download your selected songs to your intunes library, then all u have to do is sync ipod.

  • MacBook Pro battery had accumulated more than a 1000 charges, and stopped functioning unexpectedly. Went and got the battery replaced. Just saw that SMC Firmware 1.6 update deals with this. Possible to get my money back?

    MacBook Pro battery had accumulated more than a 1000 charges, and stopped functioning unexpectedly. Went and got the battery replaced. Just saw that SMC Firmware 1.6 update deals with this. Possible to get my money back?

    The firmware update corrects an error that may occur, however the techs would have checked the condition of the battery prior to installing a new one.  If the battery was questionable, the firmware update was really not too important.
    You can check the battery condition by going to the apple, left side of the menu bar, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Power and see what it says about Cycle Count, Condition, Capacity: Condition anything but Normal needs to be checked and may need to be replaced.
    The cycle count of 1,000 charge cycles is the typical life of a Lithium-Ion battery, the point at which the capacity drops to 80% of the as built capacity.

    Two previous questions may not have been as clear as I would have liked. I recently upgraded my MacBook 2008 (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6.8). With the updates came iTunes 11.1.1 and Quicktime 7.6.6. I am still using Garageband 2008 and iPhoto 2008. When I create music in Garageband I usually adjust the volume and save it. Even now when I share the Garageband created files with iTunes 11.1.1, the volime I previously set in Garageband is retained. However, when I use the music to create a slide show in iPhoto 2008 and export to Quicktime 7.6.6, the volume level I previously set is lost and seems to default to a low level. The problem seems to be either in the slide show export from iPhoto 2008 to Quicktime 7.6.6 or in Quicktime itself. Is there a work around, so that I can retain the volume level I had previously set in Garageband, a volume level that seems to transfer without problem to the new iTunes. But then iPhoto 2008 (slide show) possibly or Quicktime 7.6.6 do not cooperate. Before I did the upgrade to Snow Leopard, the new iTunes and Quicktime I had no problems with the set volume being retained in the old Quicktime. The reason I need control over the volume is that all these music files are uploaded to YouTube.

  • HT1399 How can I stop my MacBook's iTunes from asking if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one?

    How can I stop my MacBook's iTunes from asking if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one? Is it a bug from iTunes's version 11.0.5?
    Since I dowloaded and installed iTunes' version 11.0.5 on my MacBook, it is behaving strangely:
    - displaying an alert message asing if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one
    - not playing tracks in the order they're displayed in my library, sometimes jumping from one playlist to the other
    I did check my settings and preferences for playing tracks and tried changing some parameters in them, however it still doesn't help.
    It seems to be a bug in iTunes' version 11.0.5 — if you had a similar experience and found how to solve this discomfort, thanks for contacting me.

    Oui, je parle français. En fait, il semble qu'Apple ait résolu le problème auquel j'étais confronté car ce problème a disparu suite à la mise à jour logicielle d'après (désormais sous Mavericks).
    (It seems Apple solved the problem I was facing since this problem disappeared after I updated my software to/under Mavericks).

  • I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro last updated to Mavericks OS.  The screen died and it's not worth replacing.  How do I remove the hard drive and use a drive sled to access info I need?

    I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro last updated to the Mavericks OS.  The screen died and I took it into an Apple store and was told replacing the screen and the hardware to repair everything would cost almost as much as buying a new laptop or a cheaper model.  I was told that I can use a drive sled to access data I need on my hard drive. How do I remove my hard drive and use a drive sled to get to the information I need?  What makes matters more complicated is I need to update my iPhone and my iTunes/App store purchases.  How can I accomplish this?
    My wife has a late 2008 Macbook Pro as well, which I am assuming I need to run my hard drive.  Is there a way to just access just my hard drive without interfering with hers?
    I know this is lengthy.  Thanks to whoever looks at this and offers advice/instruction.

    the device you need is an External enclosure for a 2.5" (laptop form factor) SATA drive.
    A USB-interface enclosure will be slow, but is adequate for this task and for re-purposing as a backup drive later.  A firewire-interface drive would be faster, but is harder to find, more expensive, and faster than needed for this purpose.
    The drive will mount as an "extra" drive on your wife's Macbook, and you can drag and drop whatever you wish. You could create a separate Account for yourself on her computer, and use Migration Assistant or just copy your stuff over to the new account. Then it would not interfere with her files.

  • When i open my i3tunes on my computer i get an error message telling me that iTunes has stopped working..the message is as follows...Microsoft Visual C  runtime library Program C:\program files (86) iTunes\iTunes.exe  R6025 -Pure virtual function call..

    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.
