There's one really easy solution for this. Check out http://www.karthikk.net/2012/12/how-to-fix-itunes-11-error-code-42408-itunes-11-tutorial/
Works also in 10.7. I've tried and was successful.
Works also in 10.7. I've tried and was successful.
After hours... this finally worked out! BUT, perform at your own risk, I was told it could possibly do some harm...
EXACTLY what I did:
1, uninstall itunes 11 using AppZapper
2, download 10.7 from this link http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg download pacifist as well: http://www.charlessoft.com/
3, open the 10.7 dmg file, you will see the pkg file(usally double click to install), but this time drag it out somewhere.
4, launch pacifist
5, drag the pkg file to pacifist and the click install from the menu bar
6, during installation, click replace everytime a window popping out (this is the key i reckon, something that can't be removed during uninstallation will be replaced by 10.7 completely thanks to pacifist)
7, installation finished, iTunes 10.7 comes back!
i got rid of them all, by which it still wasn't clean enough that's why there's the 42408 error.Hi there. When using AppZapper a long list of items comes up. Do I have to keep all items checked and unistall them? The list contains:
iTunes (application)
com.apple.iTunes.eq (Preferences)
com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist (Preferences)
com.apple.iTunes (Preferences)
com.apple.iTunes.plist (Preferences)
com.apple.iTunes.helper (Preferences)
com.apple.iTunes.helper.plist (Preferences)
com.apple.mobile.iTunes.store (Preferences)
com.apple.mobile.iTunes.store.plist (Preferences)
com.apple.iTunes (cache)
QCCompositionRepository-com.apple.iTunes.cache (cache)
Thanks

many people are using this process to downgrade without knowing that the iTunes library also needs to be recovered, so I am adding this too thanks to jasko at post #22

basically you need to recover your latest iTunes library which was created by iTunes 10, by using previous iTunes libraries or from time machine.
cheers
