Hi folks. I have a asus computer running windows 7 and after installing ITunes 10, I experienced a repeat of the applesyncnotifier.exe sqlite3.dll not found problem


my computer is 64 bit, running 64bit ITUNES


after trying various solutions without luck I downloaded a batch file from the website below:

the first run did not fix the problem, but computerwild.com made some small modifications and it should address this problem in most systems, not that I'm a pro.

I too am receiving this message when I start my computer. I have read the other posts and fixes. The directions I received where:


Computer

Local Disk (C drive)

Program files

Common Files

Apple


At this point I only have 2 folders to chose from. Internet Services & Mobile Device Support. I do not have a folder Apple Application Support.


Any ideas or solutions? Thanks

You are a legen abbasfromdubai. This prob first reared its ugly head when I download 10 now everytime I download a new update it rears up again. I no longer look in terror at the letters SQLite3 dll. I just follow your instruction and like a magic wand it is fixed. I wish all things in life were as easy as this. Bo52

Hi All. I had this exact same problem and tried all the fixes, copying sqlite3.dll back and forth from just about every folder in common files with no luck. Eventually I found a different version of sqlite3.dll in c:\program files and replaced that with the one I had copied from c:\program files (x86)\common files\apple\apple application support and it worked! iTunes opened! I think I had to shut off iTunes helper using task manager first and I haven't restarted yet. Fingers crossed this is a permanent fix.

Hey guys! For PC users, this is a little trick that I tried and it seems to have worked just fine for me. 🙂


Go to your Control Panel, and in the Search field in the upper right-hand side of the window, type in 'Administrative Tools' and proceed; you will then go into 'Services'. From here, select 'Apple Mobile Device'. You will then be given the option to Stop or Restart the service. Select 'Stop the Service', wait about 10 seconds, and then select 'Start the Service'. And voila! The error message is gone!

This appears on my computer every time I start.
