I have a error message when i turn on my computer. AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found. The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll. Any thoughts?

Found this fix here which worked for me with a similar problem.

With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.

Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.

Reboot and see if all is well.

Thanks for that, but i don´t have that folder, i only have the Mobile Support Folder and it doesn´t have the SQlite3.dll, anyone?

Have you tried entering SQlite3.dll into your 'search programmes and files' and see if the file is located anywhere in your computer. If so, then you can copy and paste it into your Mobile Support Folder.

If you're using a 64-bit version of Windows, the folder names will be:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support

and

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support

This did fix the issue on my machine. Thanks!

You're welcome - glad I could help 🙂

I have this problem every time I upgrade iTunes, even for a minor updates such as 10.5 to 10.5.1! It is somewhat annoying and leads me to not upgrade iTunes as often. Is Apple aware of this?

Curiously, I have this problem on Windows 7, 64-bit machine but not Vista 64-bit machine. Any thoughts?

I also get something similar now when iTunes does an update, ever since version 10. Mine is with libxml2.dll and not SQLite3.dll, but the fix is just the same. Seems it only takes a few seconds to correct, I don't worry about it anymore, but I share your concern about Apple not addressing it themselves.

I too have a WIndows 7, but a 32 bit OS. From what I've seen of those reporting similar problems, it can affect Vista too. What makes some vulnerable and not others I have no idea.

Hi Allan

I used your fix to copy the dll and it worked, (even for a techno idiot like me) so many thanks! I don't get that error message any more, but my PC (also an Acer Aspire, running Vista) still keeps freezing and the only way to proceed is the classic turn it off and turn it on again! Sorry to use you as tech support, but are the two things related? I mean, does the previous absence of that "procedure entry point xml" whatsit lead to a PC crashing all the time? I've tried rebooting and defragging and doing a disk cleanup...

Cheers

Hi Peter

Glad the fix worked for iTunes.

I would doubt very much if there is any connection between that and your PC crashing.

There are a variety of reasons for that to happen, and without knowing more it's impossible to be specific. You can start here as a guide.

If there's a specific time you see it happen more than others then I suggest you google search identifying the problem and situation and see what answers you can find. Google searching the problem is anyway usually the best way to find solutions, short of taking it in to be serviced.

Good luck with it mate

Hi Allan,

Just a note to say thanks again for your help last night, I bought some software from that link you sent and it identified a lot of problems and fixed them... although the **** thing still freezes occasionally! It might have to go in to the shop, sigh. Oh well, you were very kind.

Cheers

Peter

You're welcome Peter. I wasn't intending for you to buy any software from that site, just to see the kind of problems that could be causing your freeze-up. Is there any kind of pattern to when it freezes? Then you could Google that scenario to get advice.

Again - best of luck with it Peter 🙂
