ITunes won't open due to problem with audio configuration

Out of the clear blue iTunes will not open any longer. I get a gray message screen that says iTunes can't open due to
an audio configuration problem. Any answers for this???

iTunes can't open due to an audio configuration problem.
That one is most commonly caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (iTunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)
The following document may be of some assistance:
iTunes 7 for Windows: iTunes has detected an audio configuration problem

Can't run itunes because it has detected a problem with audio configuration

What does that mean and how do i fix it? I had Itunes installed on my computer for ages but I had to have it restored because the firewall was playing up and since i have tried to reinstall itunes it has been saying that there is a problem with audio configuration---any ideas?

Some people have found the following works:
Completely uninstall Quicktime (NOT iTunes) using ALL the method in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
Turn off antivirus/anti spyware
Go to Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs>Change or Remove Programs
Select iTunes, then click on Change, then select Repair.
Restart computer

Itunes won't install due to problem with package.

I went to upgrade my itunes to the 7.3.2 and it froze in the middle of it. I restarted my computer and then my itunes won't show up nor download. I tried to use the apple installer and it gets most of the way through when the following message appears: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2330." I have tried installing the program on it's own using tools--> download only and that did not work. I also tried using a different user account and that also did not work. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I am using a PC and have windows XP. Thank you.

Hi Royb,
first i excuse myself for my english...its not too bad but sometimes i make mistakes... however
perhaps you can help me with my problem as well. i did the log file as well and i suppose its something to do with the ipod functions in itunes. everywhere in the logfile where the pattern "2330" matches is something like this:
MSI (c) (A0:08) [21:33:37:187]: Note: 1: 2330 2: 23 3: C:\Programme\iPod
MSI (c) (A0:08) [21:33:37:187]: Transforming table Error.

in case the german language causes problems with the analysis i tried to translate it into proper english:

ITunes won't open due to conflict with QuickTime

I get the following error message when I try to open iTunes: QuickTime 7.0d0 is installed. iTunes requires 7.03 or later. Please reinstall iTunes.
I've reinstalled iTunes, that didn't solve the problem. I uninstalled both QT and iTunes, then downloaded the latest version of iTunes and reinstalled again. That still didn't solve the problem. I've gone to Microsoft's website and confirmed I have the latest Windows Update installed, and I've also disabled all firewalls and protection on the computer. Any suggestions??

Try installing QuickTime standalone, not regular
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
That 7.0d0 version is bogus.
Just do the QT standlone install on top of everything. When finished, iTunes should open.

Re: itunes won't install due to problem with package.

I've been having a similar problem--
Here are the exact words: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2908." fyi, the message came up just after the installer began "updating component registration," if that is of any use. I've tried re-downloading it and restarting the computer. I've tried what the customer service reps told me which was to stop the iPod service and the apple mobile device service during installation but i couldn't find "apple mobile device" on the list. so i tried just stopping "iPod service". that didn't work. please, please help I am at my wit's end with this.

ITunes won't open due to Quicktime error

I recently updated iTunes, and iTunes won't open. It says
"Quicktime version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes requires Quicktime version 7.1.3 or later. Please reinstall iTunes."
Well, I tried redownloading iTunes and just the latest Quicktime, but I keep getting the message.
I tried clearing my temp files but nothing else will work. Do I have to uninstall iTunes completely, and if so, what do I do about my library?

"Quicktime version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes requires Quicktime version 7.1.3 or later. Please reinstall iTunes."
let's try swapping out your QuickTime again. we'll take 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?

After Update ITUNES Won't Open, Apparent Quicktime Problem, PLEASE HELP

I Have recently updated my Itunes, after installation of the updates I was unable to access itunes due to a problem with Quicktime. After trying to repair quicktime, with no luck, I have uninstalled (following Apple’s support system). There were two programs labelled “Apple Application Support”, one allowed me to delete and the other older one didn’t delete and came up with the prompts below, so I just installed itunes/quicktime again. The same response happened when trying to open itunes. So I followed Apple’s support system and deleted all I could again. What was left is below, any help would be extremely useful.
In “Uninstall or Change a Program” of windows 7, I was unable to delete Version 1.1.0 which is 32.3 MB installed on the 03/03/2010 of the Apple Application Support.
*When deleting it comes up with a box that says:*
+The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.+
+Click ok to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package ‘appleApplicationSupport.msi’ in the below box.+
C:UsersSeanAppDataLocalTempIXP722.TMP
I could only follow the path to the “Temp” part …\IXP722.TMP does not exist in that folder.
_Any Help with this problem would be Greatly appreciated._

This kind of problem often responds to using the Microsoft Installer cleanup utility. Here is a method:
== uninstall with cleanup ==
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Save the files on your PC.
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
(To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista and Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

Ask your question.stalled 10.5 and update on my G4 PB and now Itunes won't open due to library created by nwer version, How do I get the old version back ? thankfully I don't have anything in it, having deleted everything for room for the new install.

I just installed 10.5 and .8 update, from 10.4xx, Original 10.5 Archived and installed, Now itunes won't, can't open due to "library created by a newer version error message,
How do I fix this ? uninstall ??? reinstall ?
I originally didn't have enough free space to intall the new OS so deleted everything/songs and some podcasts in itunes, backed up on another ipod.that hasn'r been updated so not missing anything, but now can't access\ another new(old) ipod and iphone (and not anytthing now) that wouldn't work on the old OS. due to not having the required itunes upgrade and not upgradeable on 10.4xx
Thanks in advance.

After reinstalling itunes like PowerBloodRespect said, go into itunes on your account and connect your ipod. On the ipod summary tab, uncheck the box to launch itunes when the ipod is connected.
You also might want to go into itunes preferences on both accounts.
On the Device tab, put a checkmark in the box to prevent ipods from syncing automatically.

Won't backup due to problem with username or password.

When my machine sits idle, frequently I will get a message that the time capsule didn't backup due to a problem with user name or passwork. When I am using the computer it backs up fine.

ITunes won't run - detected problem with audio configuration

I just installed iTunes 7 (I had iTunes 6) and now it won't work. An error message comes up that says "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration". iTunes worked just fine before I downloaded the new version. I tried doing a system restore to go back to version 6 but it wouldn't work. Please help! Thanks!

I searched on google and found my answer. I redownloaded quicktime and now it works.
