Itunes cannot open due to audio configuratoin problem

Will someone tell me what this means?

that's typically caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (itunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)

  • Itunes starts but fails to open due to audio configuration problem

    Hi
    I have been running itunes 7.1 quite successfully until today. Running on windows xp/toshiba laptop.
    Problem occurs when i select itunes on desktop, itunes appears on task bar below, after a number of seconds the following error message appears "itunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration", once I click ok on this message itunes terminates.
    No changes have been made to my audio configuration (to the best of my knowledge), i can run Windows Media Player and that works fine, so too real player.
    I reinstalled itunes, but this did not resolve the problem. I also ran itunes from another logon on my laptop and that presented the same error. I checked all my audio settings in the control panel and also ran the diagnostics on each device and all appears to be fine.
    Has anybody faced the same issue, and could anybody advise on any diagnistic tool that could assist in pinpointing the configuration problem?.
    Thanks

    Hi
    Got it resolved, thanks for the prompt responses all!.
    Resolved by removal current version of Quicktime thru the control panel (add/remove programs), and then reinstalled from the website.
    Phew!

    Good luck.

  • Itunes wont launch due to audio configuration problem

    Itunes won't launch saying there is a audio configuation problem, this started all the sudden no new software added no updates, no configuration changes. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling without improvement and all other audio programs work fine. any ideas?

    This is usually a Quicktime problem, see this article:

  • Itunes cannot open -50 error

    I have looked all over this site for the -50 error and only found two answers niether which worked for me. I flat out can't open itunes, it simply gives me the itunes cannot open due to an unknown error (-50). It was working fine yesterday. What do I do?

    UGH! OK I still have no music. I only have what's on my ipod and some old files but not my whole library. I have had this computer for almost 6 years now. For the most part it has been great but after calling the 1-800-apple number three days ago to be told they know how to fix my problem but will only tell me if they charge me $80, I'm pretty upset. I guess my apple care expired some 3 years ago. Well that's super infuriating. Back when I bought this G4 it was well over 3 grand. I don't think it would bankrupt them to tell me how to fix f-ing itunes. On top of it why did he rub it in by saying, we know your problem but will only tell you if we charge you $80! What kind of service is that? Man am I dissapointed.

  • "Itunes cannot open because it has detected a problem"

    I upgraded to the new version of Itunes and now that I went to go open it I got a message saying "Itunes cannot open because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration" Can someone help me and if it is my computer how do I get an older Itunes.

    First thing would be to try un-installing Quicktime, and then just re-installing the stand alone version of Quicktime. If you have a non-name brand sound card you may be beat. Apple has a hard time supporting the name brand cards, and does not seem to QA test any of the low end hardware.

  • ITunes cannot open files in the "MP3 Audio File" format

    Lately I've been getting this error that iTunes can't open MP3 files. It happens when I try to double click on an MP3, however, if I click and drag the MP3 into my iTunes library it opens fine. Not a huge problem....just a nuisance.
    Running iTunes 10.0.1

    I suddenly have this same problem with MacOS 10.6.7 and iTunes 10.2.2. Clicking on a tune in a folder gets the prompt "The document xxxx.mp3 could not be opened. iTunes cannot open files in the MP3 audio format."
    Dragging the tune into iTunes will open it, so there's no problem with it being a "trouble file" that needs validating with some external app. I believe this is a new glitch that came with iTunes 10.2.2. It's workable but quite irritating when trying to manage an iTunes library that includes 28,000-plus songs.

  • Itunes cannot open mp3 files

    I downloaded a zip file with mp3s.  I unzipped it and tried to add it to my itunes library.  I tried dragging files into itunes, tried opening file by double-clicking on it, using the file import feature in itunes - nothing works.  Also, I cannot open the mp3 files with windows media player or realplayer.  But the files look no different than other mp3s that I've previously downloaded from the same website.  Any ideas?

  • What to do when iTunes cannot sync my iPad 3. Problem Event Name: BEX (Please Help)

    What to do when iTunes cannot sync my iPad 3. Problem Event Name: BEX
    Please Help to solve...

    Hi Ahmed,
    In iTunes, go to the Store in the left menu, select iTunes Store, wehn it opens, make sure you are on the home screen (icon of a house in the menu bar) and from the righthand side, select Account.
    Next you will see all of your account information. Just a little don, you will find: Apple ID overview, there it says, Authorised computers; click on the button to deauthorise.
    And you should be done.
    Grtz, Carl.

  • Trying to open youtube, QuickTime cannot open video.3gp, only a problem since upgrading to Mavericks

    trying to open youtube, QuickTime cannot open video.3gp, only a problem since upgrading to Mavericks, what do I need to do please ?

    You're right. It wasn't QuickTime itself. I solved all the problems myself.
    The main reason why QuickTime files weren't working was because the newest audio driver from Creative released July 2007 (using their autoupdate) is apparently for Windows Vista (it has the name Vista in the update title). Why that update showed up on my Windows XP Pro system, I have no idea. So, I went to Creative's site and got the driver before the latest release, and all works well.
    The Microsoft update (from June 2007, I noticed today, not July) is another issue. It's based around the file P17RunE.dll, which is something from Microsoft for the SoundBlaster. Not sure what it does, but I don't need it.
    Sorry for wasting all your time on a non QuickTime issue, but thanks for the help.

  • I cannot open iCal because of a problem. Can anybody help me? The computer will not allow it to open and sends a message to apple each time. The icon has gone from the dock, but ical works on my iPad and I am afraid to sync it with my computer.?

    I cannot open iCal because of a problem. Can anybody help me? The computer will not allow it to open and sends a message to apple each time. The icon has gone from the dock, but ical works on my iPad and I am afraid to sync it with my computer in case it wipes everything .

    I have the exact same problem. I have not changed anything. This is probably a bug or something that has gone bad with Mac OS X (10.7.2). I have not found any solution for this on the web.

  • Itunes cannot open at all

    itunes cannot open at all after upgrading Itunes to 7.7. I have the newest version of IPod; I have tried to uninstall the program as well as deactivating the firewall. None of the measures have worked, is there any way to download a program to fix it?
    any input would be very helpful

    Perhaps give one of the following documents a try:
