Updated to 10.6.1.7. Now error -42404. How do I fix it?
An update to my iTunes program was downloaded in the normal course. Now, when I connect my iPod, iTunes does not open. When I open iTunes, it does not recognize my iPod. iTunes is always displaying a message "A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes (-42404)."
An article at Apple Support entitled "Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP" set forth steps to remove & reinstall iTunes. It directed me to begin by uninstallng iTunes. I started the first steps by opening Control Panel, and then opening "Add or Rmove Programs." My computer then listed programs currently installed. To my surprise, iTunes was not listed as a "program currently installed." This was a surprise, because I am able to open iTunes, and some parts of it are functional (e.g., downloading podcasts), although the "-42404" error message keeps popping up.
If my computer will not let me uninstall iTunes (because it does not recognize it as "currently installed"), how do I proceed to fix the iTunes program defects?
Thank you for any help you can give.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled latest iTunes a number of times and I still get message “A required component is not installed. Please reinstall iTunes (-42404)” Itunes shows the iPhone as connected but when I run the Diagnostic test I get these results below.
All is OK except it fails the sync tests
HOW CAN I FIX THIS PLEASE HELP!!!!! I am at my wits end

I am unable to update any add-ons at all. Every time I try and install an add-on or even the new "show hidden add-ons" add-on, I get a server error. How do I fix this?
You may have triggered some intermittent database issues but it should be running smooth by now. Let us know if you still see server errors.
Also, if your addons appear to go missing after updating there is a workaround http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2011/09/28/issue-discovered-with-firefox-add-on-upgrades/ And there is a 7.0.1 fix on its way. -
IPhone software update errored. How can I fix my iPhone without having to do a restore?
I plugged in my iPhone 4 to do a sync this afternoon. I got the message that there was a software update. Sadly, I've updated to the crappy iOS7, so I chose to install the update (which I think is 7.0.2.) The update was downloaded, and was loading to my iPhone. I suddenly received an error that my iPhone couldn't update. I think it had an error code of 411. My iTunes refreshed, and is now not showing that it recognized my phone. Now the only thing I can get to show up on my screen is a graphic of the iTunes icon, and an arrow directing me to plug in my phone. When I do this, a message appears that iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and that I must restore this phone before it can be used with iTunes. I don't want to perform a restore. I will lose all my data. So, why did this error? How can I fix my iPhone without doing a restore?
I think it had an error code of 411....So, why did this error?
There is no such error code. No one can tell you why without the correct code.
Was this phone EVER jailbroken?

There is no way to get out of recovery mode without restoring.
You mean you actually didn't back up before updating, really?

Since the last update my i tunes wont launch it just give error message Error 7 (Windows error 127) how do i fix it please?
Like many others I have been reading about online I am having the same error. I tried the fix listed above and simply wasted 30 minutes of my time. I scheduled a time for Apple to call and help me through this and their solution was for me to call Microsoft for some reason?!! iTunes made me upgrade then stopped working - I really don't see how this is a Microsoft problem??
Like Darren if a solution is not found quickly I will also have to sell my phone as the only way to get videos and music on my phone is through the software that you made me upgrade, broke and won't help me fix. -

Hi, I am using MAc OS 10.10.3 and I have a problem to update my photoshopCC because of error U43M1D204. I have deleted AAm Updater/1.0/ but it still not worked. How can I fix it please help.
I too have only recently encountered this problem. I have been able to burn disks before but it keeps making all these weird sounds. It might be a hardware problem but the fact that everything else that uses a disk works I doubt it.

TS3694 error 1015 how do i fix it?
i just updated my iphone 3G from 4.1 to 4.2. Updating was almost done when an error occured, it was error 1015. how could i fix and restore my iphone?
The article you linked from shows the information for that error code.
The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go to Settings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed. Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported.
Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.
You can try recovery mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
Where did you buy this phone?
EDIT: Also, if it is actually showing the iOS that you describe, then that's a huge problem. 3G has a maximum iOS of 4.2.1, anything else is a jailbreak.
EDIT 2: Just like KiltedTim said... It's jailbroken, you got scammed, go get your money back. -
It wont let me download itunes, it keeps saying error. How do i fix it?
it wont let me download itunes, it keeps saying "error". How do i fix it?
You say "It won't let me download iTunes ...". I cannot imagine what you mean. What does "It" mean?
iTunes is a part of iOS on your iPhone. If your iPhone can turn on, iTunes is already there. You cannot separately download iTunes to iPhone; you would have to update iOS to get a fresh copy. -

On my iPad 2 I can nolonger view maps. It says there are JavaScript errors. How can I fix this problem?
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes." -

my iphone 5 wont let me update apps keeps popping up with old apple id how do i fix this??
All apps downloaded/purchased are tied to the apple ID used to download/purchase them.
If you change your Apple ID and do not wish to use the old apple ID and password to update them, you have to delete them and redownload or buy them under the new apple ID. -

For me it worked when I switched the virus protection off while doing the installation. After you run the installation you then switch the virus protection back on.
Hope it works for you too! -
