AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found

I was able to recover my wife's installation (WinXP SP3) by running a System Restore and then re-updating iTunes. I've had intermittent iTunes Store connectivity issues with both her machine and mine (Vista SP2) since the last update. It's not quite to the point of unusability, but it's close. Add to that the load times on both machines (Adobe Lightroom loads faster by half a minute!), and it's little wonder people are getting annoyed.

I am running Windows 7 / 64. Same problem after July 22 update. I first noticed the problem when I tried to sync my iPhone and it hung on the backup. Had to use Windows Task Manager to kill the thing.

The only thing that worked for me is this thermonuclear and very Microsoft-ish solution: delete and reinstall everything. The order for uninstalling stuff is evidently important. Got this answer from a store "genius" fanboy.

1. Using Control Panel, uninstall, in this order: iTunes, Quicktime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, Apple Applications Support. I did not uninstall the MobileMe program but this did not affect the fix.
2. Now you have to restart the computer. This was encouraging because the error wasn't there any more.
3. Reinstall iTunes from apple.com. I saved the installation program and ran it locally. This resinstalled all the other Apple bumff as well.
4. When I opened iTunes I got an update notification for my iPhone software. Did this with trepidation, but the backup (which is part of the update) went smoothly. Did a manual sync after just to be sure. All my music is back and all is well again. (note to self: invoice Apple for my wasted time, their sloppy QA and resultant flaky update).

I tried your solution and found that my itunes and ituneshelper no longer worked. After investigating, I found that I had accidentally moved the SQL dll instead of copying it. After copying it back, everything works fine. So, from my experience with this, it looks like the dll is needed in both places.

HI,

I also have a problem with AppleSyncNotifier.exe. Not the problems as above, but whenever I boot my computer this program contantly uses 50% of processor. Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks for your advice. Copying the file to that folder worked fine for me on Dell Latitude E6410 Win7Pro 32 bit.

There seems to be a bigger problem on a 64-bit OS. Apple can't figure out how MS structures the OS. They install the majority of their applications in the 32-bit programs files "%systemdrive%\program files (x86)\" but they seem to also install an additional copy of the "Mobile Device Support" in the 64-bit directory "%systemdrive%\program files\".

To be clear, you do NOT need to modify the 64-bit version of "Mobile Device Support" directory with a copy of SQLite3.dll; you only need to copy the file into the 32-bit version of the directory.

thanks it worked.

Perfect solution thank you! :-)

Doing anything else is a waste of time and watch out for scammers who try to sell you registry fixing software to solve this problem.

I had this problem too! Thanks for the quick & easy solution of simply copying the SQLite3.dll file from the wrong directory to the correct one! Now if only you could fix my Microsoft application problems....

Thanks to abbasfromdubai's post on July 2011, my problem was solved. All I did was search the file and copy and paste. WooHoo.

Just like to thank you very much because I encountered the same problem as Graham but after trying your suggested method of copying 'libxml2.dll' into Mobile Device Support folder, my problem has been solved. Now when i connect my ipod, my iTunes automatically opens and sync. Thanks a million! Have a blessed day 🙂

Thank you. I had the same problem as grahamfromluton and this advice solved it. Very grateful.

Thanks for the simple and easy to understand answer to the apple sync problem.

It worked great for me, although, under my windows menus I have to access my x86 folder to get to my common files.

Awesome

Hi Midnight_voice

I had the same issue as Graham, I've done what you advised him and it worked. Thank you so much for posting and sharing this. 🙂
