Hi all

In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit) and you have got the message as the following:

AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found The procedure enrty point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll

  1. Open windows explorer, go to location

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support

  1. Copy file "libxml2.dll"
  2. Open new windows explorer, to to location

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support

  1. Paste file "libxml2.dll" to the location.
  2. Reboot your computer, it should not display those message, it should be clear.

One more information, I've to used iTune for long time ago without any problem, but first of the message to appeared, that is after I've to remove Kaspersky Anti Virus then Install the new Anti Virus, that is Panda Anti Virus 2011.

However, right now, I'm still used Panda Anti Virus at this time.

Cheer!

I cannot locate the libxml2.dll file. It si no longer there. How do I get a copy back?

 

Thank you!

 

 

Hi jp, I'll try to help. Obviously I don't know what you have done in the meantime that the libxml2.dll disappeared from your programs. But if you know you had this file a few days ago, then what you could do is a system restore to a date when you last had it, then if necessary copy it again from the Application Support Folder to your Mobile Device Support folder. It might be an idea to paste a copy on to your desktop so you always have one if you think it's likely it will disappear again.

Before you do the above it might be an idea to type libxml2.dll into your 'search' (files and folders) by your start button, then click on 'Search Everywhere', which will will bring up all locations on your computer where this file is found. Not only Apple has this file but you are interested in any Apple files that might contain it. If so then just directly paste it from whichever Apple file it's in to both the Application Support and Mobile Device Support folders if they're not there already.

If neither of these methods work then you will need to completely remove all Apple programs, reboot, and reinstall. I suggest if you're going to do this that you refer to this page to do it properly Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

Let me know how you get on.

Good Luck

    It also worked for me. The error was a consequence of installing MobileMe when updating itunes.

    The solution contained in the first thread you linked to above Linney worked perfectly for me. I recommend it to anybody else with this problem.

    Here's the fix from that link

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.

     

    Copy the libmxl2.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.

     

    Reboot and see if all is well.

     

    thank you so much for that, works great now after weeks of frustration
