Itunes will not open b/c of Audio configuration error

Itunes will not open. Get error saying "Itunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration." Whats weird is that I haven't changed anything since I last used it (yesterday night). What should I do?
  Windows XP  

I had the same problem and had just recently upgraded quicktime. When I followed the instructions on this thread I also made sure the version of Quicktime I installed matched my iTunes version. You might try that.
It did work for me. I'm wondering if the update to Quicktime caused my problem.

  • My itunes will not open and it gives me no error code

    Itunes will not load on my coputer i tried the trouble shootin but it still doesnt work

    I had the same problem just after updating to iTunes 10.5.  I found the solution on another thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/15905544#15905544
    The solution was to run as Administrator Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt
    (to run as Administrator you right-click the option and choose run as admin) 
    Then type in the command netsh winsock reset
    Then restart to complete, this worked for me.  Hope it helps you.
    Thanks to birgitfromwittgenstein for the fix.

  • ITunes will not open... i get an error message

    Hi.
    I am having problems opening the iTunes music store. I have Windows XP. When i click on the desktop iTunes icon, i get this error message.
    "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    When actually, it was never opened.
    I have downloaded iTunes in the past and it has worked fine. Is this because of the overload of iPods today on Christmas? Is the music store a universal thing? Could it just be overloaded? i have no clue. I'm new to this iPod thing
    any help would be appreciated!

  • ITunes will not open after update to 11.4

    I updated iTunes, along with the other updates I was prompted to install but now my iTunes will not open. At all. No error message or anything. Please someone help?
    Thanks.

    Hi Cchoe,
    I see that you are experiencing an issue with iTunes after an update. It sounds like this issue could be related to third-party software interactions with iTunes. Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot:

  • Itunes will not open- "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close"

    My iTunes will not open anymore, giving me the error message: "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times, and with different versions. Nothing I do seems to work. I have even copied the program files from a friend whose iTunes does work, hoping that would fix it, but to no avail. Has anyone discovered a way to fix this problem. I have a friend who has the same problem, but hasn't been able to fix it either.

    What happens when you go into control panel, click on the Quick Tunes config icon, and then select the audio tab? If you get an error, Quick Time is corrupted. Also double check your sound card drivers. Can you play any sound at all? Does Windows Media Player function? What is you anti virus software?

  • ITunes will not open - hangs up every time

    I am running os x 10.8.5, on a mac book pro 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo. 
    iTunes will NOT open and run.  It starts up, then hangs, nonresponsive, every single time. 
    NOTE - I already reinstalled iTunes, to no avail.

  • My Itunes will not open, please help

    I am running version 10.7.0.21 - since upgrade itunes will not open.  I have visited the support site and done many things to get this working - taken hours of my time I do not have, including setting up a new user and same result.
    My PC is running Windows 7.  I need my itunes as I have 4 ipods and 3 iphones - I need to back up a phone as I have just upgraded,
    One error I seem to have caught is as follows:
    Problem Event Name     BEX
    Application     itunes.exe
    Version     10.7.0.21
    timestamp     504d85d9
    Fault Module Name Quicktime.qts_unloaded
    Fault Module Version     0.0.0.0.
    If someone has some suggestions, it would be much appreciated.

  • My itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

    my itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

    i think i might have a solution... i have windows vista and after i installed to latest itunes update everytime i tried to open it it would freeze. I tried everything, including uninstalling itunes and all of its components and reinstalled it numerous times. So i went to the itunes folder in my folders, not on itunes, and i deleted my itunes library and playlists. After that it worked just fine, all of my music was deleted but luckily i had my files saved elsewhere.
    I hope this helped! I know its frustrating and APPLE/ITUNES NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM!!!!

  • TS1717 Started a software update this morning which didn't work.  Now Itunes will not open at all.  I get the following message."The program can't state becasue MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."

    Started a Itunes software update this morning which didn't work.  Now Itunes will not open at all.  I get the following message."The program can't state becasue MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."

    There are a couple of options that I know of to fix the issue.
    One is listed in this thread - https://discussions.apple.com/message/24606478#24606478 - and involves uninstalling iTunes and related components and then re-installing iTunes.  You will need to read the instructions in the thread to see the correct uninstall order.
    Second option is use System Restore to set your system back to a date prior to the iTunes update.  I did this before finding the thread mentioned above.
    Not sure exactly what the problem is but I know, after a search, that MSVCR80.dll was indeed already installed on my computer.

  • Itunes will not open at all

    hey guys,
    ever since I've reinstalled my pc with windows xp pro sp3, my itunes will not open at all.
    every time i click on itunes.exe it does not do anything. It does give me the hourglass icon as if my pc is working on it. but then it disappears without any itunes response.
    to fix this issue, I have tried any possible method that i could find on the internet. even called the support center but they were not able to help me either.
    I have tried to reinstall itunes *(no effect)*
    did something with the cryptographic something in the administrative tools menu *(no effect)*
    I have deleted the itunes installer cache *(no effect)*
    I installed any older versions,( btw 7 does not work either)but after updating it *(no effect)*
    itunes 6 does work; but since i have an iphone it is completely useless for me. so *(no effect)*
    the strange thing is that itunes.exe does appear in the "processes" tab in task manager, but it does not show in the "applications" tab.
    and every time I shut down my pc, I get the windows message that itunes is shutting down.
    If you have any other suggestions, please be so kind help me.
    this is driving me nuts. It's been going on for two months now.
    Kind regards,
    Bart

    I am not sure if I have this right from all those posts.
    When you try to start iTunes, there is no error message and you can see iTunes.exe persisting on the processes tab of the task manager.
    If that is your probelm it is commonly do to a problem with cryptographic services.
    Before looking into that there is a quick thing to try:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1776?viewlocale=en_US
    If that's not it, work carefully through *method 4* in the following article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822798
    Make a careful note of any error messages you get, this is important. post back the names of any dlls mentioned in error messages.
    If you don't get any error messages try starting iTunes.

  • Safari and iTunes will not open on my Macbook Air after Migration Assistant

    I did the Migration Assistant via wireless (from Macbook Pro TO Macbook Air) last night and it did work. However, my Safari and iTunes will not open on my Macbook Air now. The error messages are as follows:

      - I tried reopening the app, restarting, and shutting down the computer. Nothing has worked.
    iTunes: "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?"
      - I clicked "Download iTunes" but then another message comes up that all my software is up to date.
