iTunes Update Error 7 - Problem with SQLite3.dll

abbasfromdubai, worked for me except it was in Program files (x86) folder. I'm running Win 7 Home 64. Thank you!

I updated to 10.5 as well and have the same error message again and attempted all the previous suggestions. None are working this time. (Running XP)

I have had the same symptoms at least three times with various itunes/qt upgrades, and each time I have fixed the problem using the solution as described by abbasfromdubai. Copy the sqllite3.dll to the correct location. It always works for me (and for many others) so I guess his solution has some value. Why is the apple installer so badly broken that they require a complete uninstall and reinstall fo the software to 'fix' such a simple problem? It ' makes me wonder (again) if Apple doesn't provide substandard software for Windows on purpose...or are they really that incompetent?

I am also having this problem running Vista 64 and I have tried all suggestions in this thread but have been unable to fix the problem.

This problem has appeared once more! Everyone else with this error should post so apple may fix it after all these years.

It works...But only untill you update the itunes again.

Last time i updated itunes and i had same error message coming up. Then i copied the file to another location and it worked because it was missing from the correct location as the message read " sqlite3.dll missing".

Having spent many hours (following this, and other threads on the web) trying to resolve issues with iTunes not recognising an iPod on my son’s laptop I found that his anti-virus (AVG free) and firewall (Comodo) software were both preventing iTunes from working properly (moving the SQLlite3 file made no difference in my case; once running, iTunes seems happy for it to be in the “wrong” folder).

I swapped to Widow Security Essentials and changed Comodo’s settings to make the iPod service a trusted application and everything is now working correctly (note that all AV software will show up running apps/services in their own strange ways!).

It may be worth anyone having any trouble with iTunes to temporarily disable their AV and firewall software and see if the problems go away, and if they do, then work out how to tweak the particular AV software to allow iTunes to run.

Obviously take care about using your computer without any security software running.

I hope this helps someone.

I don't have those AV installed, but I will check mine next update. The fix works for me with vista 64, but the fix being Apple doing nothing and users figuring it out, posting it, lettting others find the steps, and then doing it themselves is not really a fix but a failure on the Apple side.

abbasfromdubai fix worked for me perfectly. I use his fix each time an iTunes update comes up because each time the iTunes is updated THE SAME PROBLEM APPEARS. I have iTunes v11.1.0.126. The trick is copying to the correct path, Program Files(x86) for 32 bits or Program Files for 64 bits.
