I responded to the upgrade of iTunes today - to version 11.4. I did this in short succession on a Macbook Pro and iMac, both running Mavericks.

Silly me - Apple fails

On both machines I got an error message immediately after the upgrade as per the attached image

Suggestions on how to resolve this are most welcome

Oh - and somehow I cannot post to Apple Support Communities - go figure!

Thanks

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), iTunes upgrade - 11.4

Greg Earle - What version/build number shows up in your About iTunes window? Mine is 10.4 (18)

Thanks!

I just reinstalled the latest version of iTunes and the HP drivers per Greg Earle's instructions, so I can't confirm the build of my previous version of iTunes.

No error message so far.

I have a 20 inch mid 2007 iMac Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Software OS X 10.9.5 (13F34).

I plan to buy my next iMac the next time they are upgraded.

Yeah, sorry... It is "10.6." It must be some kind of auto correct thing or something!

I have the same question: does iTunes 12.0.1 solve the issue with "AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext", that could not be installed before? Thanks 🙂

I can confirm that the issue is solved on MacOS too! Good thing...

For me it is "so far, so good" with this fix (~3 days). But what I really want to say is thanks, Trane, for that concise how-to!
