Why do I keep getting an error message (42404) when I open my itunes?

I have tried numerous"fixes" for this and still get the same error message every time I open the itunes app.
I have re-downloaded and installed the latest version of itunes.   I have re-installed Quicktime and then I tried to
install an older version of Quicktime that someone said would fix it, with no success.  Itunes just keeps opening
with the same error message: A required itunes component is not installed. Please repair or re-install itunes. (-42404)
I'm afraid to connect my ipod Classic to it because I don't want it to mess up my music folders. 
Any help with this issue would be appreciated.
Regards,
Len

I'd like to thank all those that responed to my question.   Apple has lousy support and this forum is even worse.  Have a nice day and thanks for nothing.

    I can't open the iTunes store and keep getting this error message. "Registry settings used by the iT drivers for importing & burning CDs & DVDs are missing. Reinstall iTunes." I've reinstalled iT a half dozen times with no results.

    You might have two different things going on at once here.
    Starting with the registry settings message.
    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • HT204406 Why do I keep getting an error message (4002) when my match tries to match?

    I just want to make sure it isn't something I'm doing wrong.

    FIRST: COPY your itunes Library.itl and .xml files into a separate folder—just in case.
    I don't know why you get the error, as I did. I do know I found another response (wish I could find it to give credit) that suggested turning Match off (Store > Turn off iTunes Match>), turn it back on again, and it should "reboot" Match, so to speak.I
    The first time I tried this, I got a little worried when I saw that iTunes expected me to assign this computer to iMatch—it didn't recognize it. But I had no choice. When it opened, I found NONE of my Match data for my library of over 22,000 tracks.
    I started over, and it was taking well over an hour to renew the process. I decided to drop it. I quit iTunes and restarted with the Option key to choose my backed-up earlier library (which had been getting 4002).
    Today I decided to try again. I turned off Match, turned it back on, got worried again when I still had to assign the Mac to Match. I let it go through the process, and as I type this it's uploaded 71 of the final 85 items added since I began getting the error.
    So I emphasize: BACK UP YOUR ITUNES LIBRARY FILES, just in case. My first time trying this may have been perfectly normal—as it seems to be today—but having that backup offers security.
    Good luck! HTH.

  • Why do I keep getting an error message saying that I need to check my internet connection when I try to listen to Radio? I ran diagnostics and my internet connection is fine. I can also access iTunes Store no problem??

    Why do I keep getting an error message "An error occurred while contacting the radio tuning service.Check your internet connection or try again later." This happens when I am trying to listen to Radio (obviously). I ran diagnostics and it said my internet connection was good. I can also connect to the iTunes Store with no problem. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Maybe the radio connection on the other end is not working. Hope this helps.

  • HT1539 Why Do I keep getting an error message telling me "Code redemption is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." whenever I try to redeem my digital copy code for "Oz The Great and Powerful"?

    Why Do I keep getting an error message telling me "Code redemption is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." whenever I try to redeem my digital copy code for "Oz The Great and Powerful"?

    I had the same problem so I decided to try going to website on the back. (DisneyOzMovieandOffers.com). It will take you to a page that says to redeem code, enter the code that is given to you and click enter. It will give you options of where you would like to download it from. Click iTunes and it will give you the correct code to download the movie from iTunes.

  • Why do i keep getting an error message of 2096 when installing any version of itunes

    Why do  I keep getting ann error of 2096 when downloading any version of itunes.  It tells me to delete itunes and reinstall.

    That one is often a compatibility mode problem. Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

  • Why do I keep getting an error message when converting PDF to word?? help please!

    I just subscribed to the ExportPDF but is not working. I keep getting an error message saying "Conversion Failure" when trying to convert PDF file to word! I don't know what to do.

    HI tatamene,
    I'm sorry that you're having trouble converting a document.  For starters, have you verified that your account is active? (You can check by logging in to www.adobe.com and checking under My Subscriptions and Services). Aside from that, I'll need a little more info to get to the bottom of your problem.
    Are you trying to convert the file from within Reader, or directly via the ExportPDF website?
    What operating system and browser are you using?
    How large is the file that you're trying to convert? (There's a file-size limit of 100 MB.)
    Is the computer that you're using networked?
    Do other files convert without error?
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Why do I keep getting an error message when I try to set up Droid Zap?

    Every time I try to get started with the Droid Zap" app on my Droid Maxx, I keep getting an error message saying, "Unable to connect at this time, try again later."  This has been happening for 3 weeks now.

        tabascobulldog, sorry to hear that you're having troubles with that application, but we'd be hqappy to help. What model of device are we working with? Are all other data services working? Have you tried using the app with both Mobile Data and WiFi? What about uninstalling and reinstalling the application? Any recent changes since this started happening? New apps or software updates?

    I have a typing software that I bought a while ago. I had installed it on an old pc but I just bought a macbook and I'd like to install it onto the new macbook, as I no longer use the old pc. When I open the installer, I get the error message: " You can't open the application "%@" because it may be damage or incomplete"
    Does anybody know if this is fixable or if I need to just buy a new disk?
    Thanks!!!
