Some audio devices could not be opened
Hi,
For this HP config

HP Probook 4530s
Intel Core i5-2430M CPU @2.40GHz

Any advice? Many thanks
Many thanks & Best Regards,

Since this problem appeared out of the blue I suspect a Windows update.
Googling "windows 8 update loss of audio" highlights a recent update
KB2962407. Uninstalling this update solves the problem.
Of course I now wait to see what other problems this unistallation
causes :-)

Can't load ASIO driver / device could not be opened error in Audition CC but not Audition CS6
I have a M-Audio Fast Track Ultra USB 2.0 that I use for audio. I installed Audition CC and it wont let me use the ASIO driver for it. I get the device could not be opened error. On the same system I have Audition CS6 which works with the ASIO driver fine. Also have Vegas, Premiere, etc - all on the same machine and no problems with the M-Audio driver. I can load the Blackmagic ASIO driver but don't use that for audio mixing. Changing Use Machine Specific Device Defaults and Force Hardware to Sample Rate does nothing. Running Windows 7 64 bit.
M-Audio 64-bit driver is apparently troublesome, but the 32-bit one works fine - which explains why CS6 works and CC doesn't. As far as I can find out, you aren't the only person with this problem - have a look at this Reaper forum thread - you may get some useful information from it (no promises!)

I have encountered the following behavior when trying to format a new drive with disk utility. This description has also been send via the Mac Pro feedback as a bug report to Apple.
On searching the web and forums with this particular error message and behaviour I could not find any usful results. So maybe the following description may be helpful for some users.
Best regards.
1. Drive Bay 1 contains the original 250 GB Startupdisk. It works without errors.
2. Drive Bays 3 and 4 contain each a WD Caviar Black 2 TB SATA 3 HDD. They work without errors.
3. I have purchased a third WD Caviar Black 2 TB HDD.
4. In Drive Bay 2 there has been a Seagate 750 GB HDD, which worked in conjunction with all the other drives without error.
5. I exchanged the Seagate HDD in Drive Bay 2 with the new WD Caviar Black 2 TB HDD.
6. On starting the system, it will report to initialize the new drive.
7. On trying to initialize the new drive with disk utility it reports the error [translated from German] "Erasing of the volume has failed. The device could not be opened."
8. I thought that the drive is faulty. Thus I created an RMA-Case at WD. They exchanged the drive without problems.
9. On getting the exchanged WD Caviar Black 2 TB drive I put it in Drive Bay 2 as before.
10. On trying to erase and format the exchange drive I got the same error message "Drive could not be opened."
10.1 On selecting the physical drive in the devices list, disk utility reports all information in the bottom area of its window as usual, e. g. hard disk description, connection bus, type and place, capacity, write status, SMART-status, partition scheme.
10.1 On leaving that drive selected in the devices list and clicking the info-button, disk utility will also report additional information as usual, e. g. Name, Type, partition scheme, media-identification, media name, media type, device tree, … , number of relocated sectors, etc.. All this information appears to be valid, as can be compared to the other devices information inside the other Drive Bays. Also the disk numbering scheme appears to be standard - 4 HDDs give the numbering disk0, disk1, disk2, disk3.
10.2 From that information I conclude that the SATA-bus and connectors electrically work properly, the drive has spun up and can be accessed by the system normally.
11. I powered down the computer, took out the HDDs from Drive Bays 3 and 4 and put the caddy with the new exchange drive in Drive Bay 4 [Maybe, I could have also just left it alone in Drive Bay 2, or 3].
12. After powering on the system, disk utility will quick format the exchange drive without any error message. Also, when erasing again by selecting the option to write zeros to the drive, disk utility will finish without error.
13. After disk utility finished formatting, I put back the original drives into Drive Bay 3 and 4 and put the now newly formatted drive back into Drive Bay 2.
14. After switching on the computer the system start and login proceeds without any error message. All drives appear as expected on the desktop.If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem. -

The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50)
Today, I downloaded the latest version of Itunes.
When it finished installing it came up with the following error:
"iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 127)". I have uninstalled iTunes, and all related Apple software and re-installed iTunes several times and still I get the same error.
I contacted Apple support and was sent two emails. One detailing what needed to be uninstalled and then a web site to go to where I could download and install Microsoft's latest .NET Framework, which apparently was the root cause of the problem.
I did as instructed:Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
1.iTunes
2.QuickTime
3.Apple Software Update
4.Apple Mobile Device Support
5.Bonjour
6.Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later).
Restarted the PC and then downloaded the latest version of Microsoft's .NET Framework - version 4.
Restarted the PC again and received a strange message from some Apple application I have never heard of stating "CoreFoundation.dll file is missing".
I GOOGLEd the message and found out I also needed to unistall another Apple application called MobileMe. So, I did this and restarted the PC again!
I then downloaded the latest version of iTunes, again.
Now I'm getting "The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50).
From checking through GOOGLE, I believe it's something to do with user accounts and iTunes not being able to find the music folder???? But the answers I found all relate to Windows 64 pit PC's.
I am running Windows 7, 32 bit on a Sony Vaio laptop.
I cannot get support from Apple as I don't own a MAC. But I do own an iPhone but it's out of warranty.
HELP !!!!
Can anybody please help me?
ThxIf you go to the web page "http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923" and follow the "Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled" it does the trick. There are few other folders and files that alos need to be deleted!

Thanks in advance for your help
dell wind up Windows XPI ran into a similar problem, so will share what worked for me.
I didn't bother with safe mode. Just went to control panel, selected add/remove programs, and deleted itunes and Quicktime.
After deletion, I noticed the Quicktime player icon was still on my desktop, so I explored over to the program files folder and found the Quicktime folder still there with a ton of files in it. Upon attempting to manually delete this folder, I got the same message as you.
I rebooted the computer. Then I found the icon for quicktime in my taskbar at the bottom right of my screen, right clicked on it, and clicked on "Exit". That got rid of Quicktime from my task bar. Then used explorer again to get to the Quicktime folder in my program files directory, right clicked on Quicktime, clicked Delete, and it worked. Then I rebooted.
Upon logging back in, I installed Quicktime only. 2nd choice on this page. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Then I rebooted.
Upon logging back in, I installed itunes only. See this page...
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Rebooted.
Upon logging back in, both programs worked.

Codec could not be opened error in red
Out of the blue, suddenly the screen went completely green during playback but an error message said codec could not be opened. The error message had a red background. Have audio but no picture. It just stays green. At first i was thinking perhaps it was a bad chroma key becasue I am using green screen clips (Music video) but I'm all thumbs as far as codecs go. i see there's many other posts about this but their solutions so far haven't applied to me. I'm using Final Cut 7.0.3, running OS 10.6.8 on a 2 x 3.2 ghz Quad-Core Intel, 16 gigs of ram. been fine but just suddenly conked out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have you done any software or OS updates? What format are you working with? There have been many reports of this sort of thing happening recently after people have done a software update. Do some searching here and you'll find many posts and a few possible solutions.

Can't open video file - Codec could not be opened
Hello,
I have just purchased a camcorder, and can't open the video files that it creates. Final Cut Express tells me "Codec could not be opened". I'm not sure how to find and install the proper codec
Some background
- The files are AVI format
- Quicktime opens the files, but all it get is a blank screen playback with no sound
- The files play on my WindowsPC (but what good is that). The PC tells me that the file is H264, 1280x720, 30 frames/s, 681 kbits, 24 bit, AVC H264 format (FFDS compression).
- The camcorder is a Polariod HD camcorder DVC-00725F. Polariod is no help - they only support Windows (no wonder they have declared bankruptcy)
My computer is an iMac 24
- Final Cut Express 4.0.1
- QuickTime 7.6.0
Thanks for any help
SeanWhen I open it in quicktime, I get a big black screen. it plays, but no picture (should be video of a chair - is this what you are seeing?)
QT inspector shows me

When I use Streamclip and show stream info it says

ITunes could not be opened-not enough memory: "3ivx D4 4.5.1 for OSX" FIXED
iTunes: 6.04 (3)
QT: 7.0.4
OSX: 10.4.6
After reading through other posts regarding this message, "The iTunes application could not be opened. There is not enough memory available." and trying what everyone else had tried (rebooting, repair permissions, delete iTunes prefs, re-install, change theme, create new user) my iTunes still told me I did not have enough RAM. I have 2GB installed and more than 16GB free on the hard drive. There were no problems found when using disk utility to verify the hd.
Then I remembered that I was trying to watch a movie yesterday in quicktime and the audio wouldn't play. I searched and found a couple codecs to try; msmpeg41, msmpgv2 and '3ivx D4 4.5.1 for OSX.' (none of which allowed me to hear the AC3 audio track. Had to convert to divx/mp3 with ffmpegx) After removing/replacing the new codecs one by one while trying iTunes, I narrowed it down to the 3ivx D4 4.5.1 for OSX codec. When it is in my /Library/Quicktime folder, iTunes tells me I don't have enough memory and quits. When I pull it out, all is fine. So even if you didn't install the codec that gave me problems, other QT codecs could potentially stop iTunes from opening.
Hope this helps someone.It's a unified GUI program http://gui.interacto.net/ and some people (including me) have had this error message when using it with iTunes 7 Their latest version 1.3.1 seems to overcome this, but if you are not using it ........!

Clips were fine, now say "Codec could not be opened"??
Hi,
I brought some .avi clips into FCE 4 and they were fine during the whole editing process but then a friend was giving us some training and adjusted the audio levels of a few of the clips (by dragging the clips' gray bar) and now the clips say "Codec could not be opened." He even command-z'd everything he'd done (or so we thought). It's also possible that he adjusted more than I thought.
When you play the clips you can hear the audio but the Canvas says "unrendered." I tried to render them but got a message "Codec not found. You may be using a compression type with the corresponding hardware card" and the Canvas and Viewer say "Codec could not be opened."
We're new to FCE so any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks!"adjusted the audio levels of a few of the clips (by dragging the clips' gray bar)"
I don't know what this means, but there is nothing that can done within the application that will change the codec or alter the media in any way. The only way for this to happen to change something on the computer itself, something in QuickTime, or changing the location of something.
Look at item properties for the AVIs in FCE and see exactly what it says. See if you can open the AVI media into the QuickTime player and get movie info there to see what QT says about it. Where did you get these files BTW? FCE does not work well with AVIs at all.
The first thing I suggest doing is to trash your preferences and repair permissions.

I have a slew of .MOD files I cannot play from our Canon video cam. I tried renaming the files as MPEG or MOV, I get the message "The document “001.MPEG” could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." Any advice on getting these to play? Thanks!
Try installing Perian or VLC. Some AVIs require a codec which simply isn't available for Mac OS X.

I cannot open Pages documents that I have worked on and saved. When I try to reopen Pages documents that I've saved, I get the following
message:
"The document “[name of document]” could not be opened. The file isn’t in the correct format.
The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format."
I have downloaded the latest update to iWork, but that doesn't help.
I use Mac OSX 10.6.7
I am using Pages '09 version 4.0.5 (852)
If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.
Best regards,
New York Mac UserA few general trouble shooting tips that may apply here:
1. If you used Software Update to do the OS update(s) to reach 10.6.7, go to http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and download and apply the Mac OS v10.6.7 Combo Updater. The Combo Updater contains some fixes that were not included in the incremental updaters used by Software Update.
1a. Check that you have the current version of Pages (and of the other iWork applications) installed. All three applications' current version numbers end in .0.5
2. A common cause of malfunctioning applications is a corrupted preferences file (.plist file). Your Pages '09's plist is at yourname > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iWork.pages.plist
Quit Pages, locate the file and Drag it to the Desktop (or to the Trash).
Restart Pages and attempt to open one of the files.
If all is well, Trash the plist file and empty the Trash.
If there's no change, AND you've made changes to the Preferences that you wish to keep, drag the file back to its previous location, replacing any new one that has been created.

"iTunes application could not be opened. There is not enough memory availab
I just upgraded to the new 7.3 version of iTunes, and now it wont even let me open iTunes. I get an error box that says "iTunes application could not be opened. There is not enough memeory available." However, I have way more than enough memory available, and I've had no problems with any other applications. Quicktime is working just fine as well. I've tried restarting and opening iTunes from every location I could think of. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!
