Itunes doesn't work because of my audio configuration...

I downloaded itunes to update my current one and I have been using itunes for a while now when I try to open it it says "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration" What should I do?

Hey Jontheruler,
Try the tips in this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304424 , they should get rid of that error message.

iTunes 7 for Windows: iTunes has detected an audio configuration problem

"itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration" Now Itunes doesn't work on my windows 7 machine. What to do?

I have a Windows 7 system. ITunes used to work fine. Recently I am getting a message:
"ITunes has detected a problem with your audio configuation. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly."
I have reloaded and repaired ITunes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime. Nothing works.
Itunes doesn't work any more on my machine. Anybody?

Hey there bogusss,
I would recommend the troubleshooting steps from this article named:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot run because it detects an issue with QuickTime
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1371
If this issue occurs with iTunes 7.0.2 - 7.6, customers may instead see this error message:
"iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration"
If this occurs with iTunes 7.0 or 7.0.1, customers may instead see a -200 error when opening iTunes 7.
Resolution
QuickTime may need to be reinstalled. Follow the steps below to uninstall QuickTime and then download and install QuickTime using the QuickTime standalone Installer.
On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
Windows XP and Windows 2000: Open the Add or Remove Programs control panel and selectQuickTime in the list of currently installed programs.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Uninstall a program (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click Programs and Features) and select QuickTime in the list of currently installed programs.
Click the Remove button (or Uninstall for Windows Vista and Windows 7) and follow the prompts to remove QuickTime from your computer.
Download QuickTime. Note: There are two options for downloading QuickTime, be sure to select the option that does not include iTunes.
During the download:
If you choose to run the installer, proceed to the next step.
If you choose to save the download, double click the QuickTimeInstaller file, then proceed to next step.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install QuickTime.
Reopen iTunes.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Itunes doesn't work, can't uninstall, or reinstall, or sync OR ANYTHING!!

I have been battling this problem for MONTHS and as hard as I try to find information or support, NOTHING CAN FIX THIS. I just want to be able to sync things to my ipod AND ACTUALLY USE IT AGAIN. When I go to file sync, it's grey, and I can't select it. Auto sync is also disabled for some reason, and CAN'T be reinabled. PLEASE HELP ME. I've tried to reinstall, but that doesn't work because it can't locate 'itunes.msi'. So I cant uninstall, reinstall, install, or update! GRAAAA!! Somebody help me please!!!!!!

I've tried to reinstall, but that doesn't work because it can't locate 'itunes.msi'.
let's start with that one.
let's try the following procedure.
first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
now try another itunes install. does it go through properly?
now try changing your ipod settings again. do they work properly now?
if not, do you get an error message when you try to change the settings? if so, what do they say?

ITunes funktioniert nicht mehr / iTunes doesn't work any longer

Hallo liebe Community,
ich habe seit gestern ein sehr ärgerliches Problem mit iTunes.
Seit gestern kann ich zwar iTunes noch öffnen, jedoch kommt bei jeglichem Versuch eine Verbindung mit dem iTunes Store herzustellen (sei es über iTunes Match oder Store oder meinen Account) die Windows 8.1 Fehlermeldung "iTunes funktioniert nicht mehr". Jegliche Versuche danach noch was zu machen schlagen fehl da sich das Programm dann automatisch schließt.
Was habe ich bis jetzt getan:
- einfache Neuinstallation
- komplette Neuinstallation (mit jeglicher Apple Software die auf meinem Pc war/ist)
- Bereinigung und Überprüfung des Pc's
- 1 Tag warten
- an und abmelden vom iTunes Store (war nur möglich bevor das Problem aufgetreten ist)
Nichts hat geholfen. Und jetzt habe ich einen Pc ohne Musik und allem anderen, weil alles in meiner iCloud ist. Kennt wer das Problem und kann mir zufällig helfen? Sämtliche Beiträge in den Apple Foren sowie in den Foren, die man durch Google findet, helfen nichts...und ja, ich habe die vorgeschlagenen Sachen ausprobiert.
daer community,
since yesterday it's still possible to open iTunes but at any try to get a connection to the iTunes Store (no metter if i try it through iTunes Match or Store or my iTunes Account) i'll get the Windows 8.1 error massage "iTunes doesn't work any longer". Any tries to do something after the error massage are useless because iTunes get closed by hisself.
What i've already done:
- simple reinstallation
- complete reinstallation (reinstalled all Apple softwares i've got at my pc)
- cleaned and checked my pc
- waited 1 day
- logged out and in at the iTunes Store (this was just possible before the problem appeard)
Nothing helped. And now i've got a pc without music and everything that i get from iTunes because all is in my iCloud. Does anyone know this problem and could help me solving it? All posts in the Apple forums and the forums you'll find with the google search are useless...and yes, i tried them all.
Vielen Dank,
Thanks,
Dominik

This solved my problem after even the Apple Support couldn't help me!

"Itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video may not work properly".

Turned my Dell running windows 7 off 2 days ago. Turned on today. Launched ITunes and got message "Itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video may not work properly".
All my albums are there but won't play.
Deleted Itunes and reinstalled. Same as before.
Any ideas ??

Hey MrCurwen,
I was able to find an article that included the same error message you're experiencing:

According to that article, if you see the error message "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration," QuickTime may need to be reinstalled.

ITunes doesn't work after I removed it an install an older version

I have a long story with Itunes.
When I downloaded the newest version (9) it didn't work well so I removed it. I downloaded the older version (8 I think) and when I tried to open it it said I couldn't open it because it was created with a newer version. I erased the library.itl file and I reapaired iTunes with iTunes setup. It still didn't work, so I removed all the files in iTunes folder, in the music folder. Now iTunes doesn't open because it says I need to repair or reinstall QuikTime even if it is working well.
As you can see I don't understand much about computers :S
I need help!
THANKS!!(sorrry for my english!)

I have installed iTunes 8.2.1.6 and I have no more problems with the library, but now it doesn't conect to itunes store and it does not recognise my iPod touch.
I'm really frustated, please help!

Error "iTunes could not start because of incorrect audio settings"

After upgrading to 7.5, my iTunes would'nt open, and i kept getting the error message "iTunes could not open because of incorrect audio settings" (or something like that)
I tried everything the support site said, like uninstalling, re-downloading, and re-installing, but i get the same error. I even got the error after i uninstalled 7.5, and re-installed 7.4. I've had to uninstall 7.5, delete all folders, and clear out the registry to get 7.4 to work again.
Nothing has changed within my sound settings (im currently using an X-Fi soundcard)
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
[EDIT] sorry, i forgot to add, im using windows vista32

Problem solved.
I re-upgraded via iTunes, restarted when asked (the exact same steps i went through when i originally got the error), only this time, i launched Quick-time first, then opened iTunes.
I guess i must have got a bad download before, or opening quick-time first was the answer.
Either way, 7.5 works now.
Thank you for all the help guys. i got this fixed a lot faster than i thought i would thanks to your fast replys.

ITunes doesn't work anymore!

iTunes doesn't work. When I open it, it takes forever, and then I just get the pinwheel. And, the rest of my computer is frozen. I've erased the iTunes preferences. I've opened an older library, and it's still totally gummed up.
This all started when I tried to update my wife's iPhone. I was in the middle of downloading the update, but then I cancelled because we had to leave. When I returned home, iTunes was messed up.
Help!!

Let's try swapping out your QuickTime one more time, taking a few additional explicit precautions this time:
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

ITunes doesn't work after update now! Says music files have been moved, would I like to locate them, then everything freezes.

I need some help! I've spent hundreds of dollars on iTunes music and suddenly every time I click the "play" button the entire service just freezes and stops responding. The only way I can even get to a play button that doesn't freeze is through the iTunes store. But at that point when I click "play", it tells me the song can't be played because the file isn't in its original location. It asks me if I'd like to locate it, and if I click yes, it brings me to a screen that I can't do anything with. Nice update. It was just fine until now. What can I do to get my music back???

"She says it doesn't work because the iPod is too old and Apple doesn't suport it any more."
She is wrong.
Since you do not mention what happens when you try it is hard to help.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
Everything on the ipod came from your computer in the first place. It should still be there and you should always have a backup copy.

Creating a new library with 'Shift/Start iTunes' doesn't work

I'm trying to start a new library, but pressing Shift when I start itunes doesn't work. It takes me to my existing library.
I've uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled, and completely deleted any other libraries.
Any ideas how I can start a new library any other way?

Thanks, that didn't work the first time but did work the second.
Perhaps I wasn't holding the shift key long enough - you presumably must keep holding it until the 'choose library' dialog actually pops up. I was releasing it after I'd clicked the 'start itunes' button.

Itunes doesn't work on windows 8.1

after the upgrade to windows 8.1 (I have a HP Henvy H9 x64), itunes doesn't work. I unistalled all the apple software; I restarted the PC and then I installed again itunes (the last version 11.1.5 x64). When the installation finish and I start itunes give me this error "impossible to find the file c:\program files (x86)\itunes\itunes.exe". Verify that the filename is correct and try again.".
Somebody could help me? Thanks

Hello Lorenzo 1972,
It sounds like you are unable to open iTunes even after a fresh install with the error that it cannot find the iTunes.exe file. That path, c:\program files (x86)\itunes\itunes.exe leads to the 32 bit program folder for iTunes. If you are using a shortcut you had on the desktop pre install, try going to C:\program files\itunes\ and finding the iTunes.exe file there.
If not it sounds like iTunes may be installing a damaged copy of the 32 bit version of the application, so I would recommend the following article to help you get any old installation files out so you can install the 64 bit version fresh:

After upgrade to IOS 8.3 sync with iTunes doesn't work

After upgrade iPhone 6, iPad Air to IOS 8.3, the sync (over wifi, as well) to iTunes doesn't work anymore.
On iMAC iTunes, the last sync's hour and day appear different from what is recorded on mobile devices (iPhone and iPad); with IOS 8.2 and the previous iTunes' version the sync worked correctly: the dates are the same only for few seconds after syncronization, then the IOS devices show the syncronization's dates related to two weeks ago.
Thanks

you'll need to contact your carrier.

I have an iPhone and when I got it, I had a Toshiba laptop. Now I have a MacBook Pro, but when I try to wi-fi sync my iphone and new computer, it doesn't work because on my iphone it is still trying to sync with my old computer. How I can fix this?

Move the content from the old computer to the new computer.
Sync the iPhone via cable to the new computer and enable Wi-Fi syncing.
It should now be possible to sync via Wi-Fi to the new computer.

New Itunes is not working because my imac is 10.6.8 need help ?

New Itunes is not working because my imac is 10.6.8 need help ....

Because you require Lion to run it. You should not have installed it.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later.
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model
             Identifier 5,1 or later.
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later.
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
