sqlite3_wal_checkpoint problem

for a third time now the copy file method has worked like a charm, thanks or posting the fix.

does anyone know if there is a long term fix though? three itunes updates has led to three occasions of having to fix the nuisance. it only takes a moment to fix, but it would be nice if there is something that i can do to keep it from happening next time and every time thereafter. any ideas? is it on apple to fix this issue? (obviously it is an issue they inadvertantly created so they should come up with a fix, but is that the only option?) anyone heard of something that will work for good? or what causes the issue-because my wifes notebook has never had the issue, so if it doesnt happen to everyone i would guess an idea on where to start to find a fix would probably start there.

ah well, at least its an easy fix, so thanks again.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!! I am about to remove all the apple stuff from my computer, I hate every stupid time you update that you place the wrong **** file in the wrong **** place! Really is it that hard? Please fix this stupid annoying glitch...pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeee

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Really great to open the computer without this Sqlite blabla message ...

Good luck to you

New working fix :-

1 } Download sqlite3.dll form http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?sqlite3

2 } Go to C:\ProgramFiles\Itunes

3 } Copy and replace the downloaded sqlite3.dll with the original sqlite3.dll

4 } Done

I've been to this discussion over and over for years.

I keep hoping that the fixes we all know about will be replaced by one which will actually work without being broken again by the next update.

How can Apple expect to make headway in the PC community when problems like this are not addressed. It is the worst kind of customer support to allow thousands of users to have to deal with this HUGE annoyance. Sure you can ignore it, but it NEVER goes away and you just feel abused by it at every restart.

We have all suffered enough! This must not be allowed to continue.

PLEASE push this to someone who can place the pressure needed to staunch the flow of bad will this reinforces day after day after day.

Thanks for your attention.

Please don't waste effort with a reply - just get it fixed!

Bleeding Rainbow on my PC...

I did it exactly as you say, but the still the same error message

Thanks for that, Code3inLA -- BUT:

1. Why should any company claiming a mature software deployment model require their users to go through all of the steps in your detailed post? Seriously!

2. Why should this error not be managed through Apple regression testing their software instead of allowing the same error to creep in to reappear over and over and over again in practically every other iTunes version point release?

As one user has pointed out, he gets the error and just clicks OK and proceeds -- because his iTunes works despite the error. I am one of that type. Others insure a properly compiled DLL is copied from one Apple Product directory to the offending directory.

I reboot my Win 7 64 Ultimate OS often. That doesn't mean I enjoy downtime. I do not want to have to go through this "fix" because lazy Deployment packaging practices in the department responsible neglect to properly compile their release! I mean look at this, seriously, and tell me I should have to do this:

1. Temporarily shut down anti-virus and firewall software
2. Open Control Panel, Programs and Features (or Add and Remove Programs), and go to the uninstall section
3. Remove all Apple products in this order - iTunes, Quicktime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, Apple Application Support. You do not need to remove Safari
4. Restart computer
5. Go to Apple.com and download newest version of iTunes
6. Re-install

Nope, Not gonna happen...

Entry point errors can usually be fixed by deleting the offending dll, then repairing the component it is part of from the programs and features control panel. SQLite3.dll is part of Apple Application Support and can normally be found in

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support or

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

Like it or not when installers produce the wrong results the standard operating procedure is to uninstall all of the related software components and start again. Over the years I've had to do this with various products from Microsoft, Symantec, and Apple, to name but a few. I've had an installation of Microsoft Office fail so badly that nothing short of a Windows reinstall was able to fix it despite direct attention from Microsoft's own engineers. Since Apple clearly don't make their installer clever enough to test for and automatically remove any vestige of a previous installation and then drive through the current one regardless of whatever issues might cause a problem (AV interference, missing/incorrect security permissions in the file system or registry, incompatibility with third party software, etc.) your choices are either to try the standard approach, or wait in the probably forlorn hope that the next version of the installer might fare better on a system that is already compromised.

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 the page in case one of them applies.

The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.

Your library and device backups should be unaffected by these steps but there are links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

If the issue persists and you have a 64-bit system try the for older video cards version which is a 64-bit installer for mostly 32-bit code, similar to all 64-bit versions of iTunes up to 12.1.

If you've tried the above without success then see the method in Install missing components. What component fails to install, and what error message does it give? See this post for steps to produce detailed logs of the installation which may reveal why iTunes won't install. Look for words like failed or error.
