iTunes detects a problem with audio configuration

Ipod is a portable media player which has been introduced by Apple in 2001. The inbuild software iTunes has not only been used to purchase, download and view/listen to movies, music, audio books etc, but also used to transfer data to and organize your iPod and iPhone. iTunes has made it easy for users to buy movies that are not available in their own country.This however does not mean that iTunes is problem free. The application, which is available for both Windows and Mac OS, faces problems from time to time. Sometimes these problems render the iTunes data inaccessible. This data can of course be retrieved using an iPod recovery software.

The most common example of this is when you try to open iTunes (if you are using iTunes 7.7 or above), you get a message which reads:

"iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration"
or
"-200 error when opening iTunes 7"
or
"iTunes cannot run because it detects a problem with QuickTime"

This would leave your data on iTunes inaccessible.

Cause:

In this case the problem is not with iTunes, the problem is with the QuickTime software in Windows.

Resolution:

The best way to resolve this problem is to re-install QuickTime. Follow the steps below to re-install the software:

• Open the Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel. Then select QuickTime from the list of installed programs, and click Remove.


• Next download the QuickTime standalone installer from the Internet.


• Select the download option that does not include iTunes.


• Re-open iTunes.

If the above resolution does not help, re-install iTunes. Be sure to take a back-up first. However, if for any reason what-so-ever, you cannot access your backup or you forget to take one, simply use an iPod recovery software and recover iTunes and/or iPod data. These software can be downloaded off the Internet, and then used to scan the iPod or iTunes for files stored on it. Even after you re-store iTunes these softwares can recover your data for you.

Stellar Pheonix iPod Recovery is one such software, which can easily be downloaded from the Internet. The software comes in two versions: Full and Trial. You can use the latter to check which iPod files can be recovered and the former to actually recover iPod or iTunes data.

Computers and iPods go hand-in-hand. You cannot use an iPod without a computer. As in most cases, where there is good compatibility, there is seldom a chance of conflict. But incase of an iPod and a system, sometimes this proves to be incorrect. When we buy any new gadget or electronic device we take pains to make sure it is compatible with what we already have. Same with an iPod, one always ensures that the OS one has is compatible with the new iPod. However in some cases, especially for amateurs, we overlook certain factors. This leads to conflicts between the devices further leading to data loss. One can use an iPod recovery software in such a dire situation.

For example, when a person buys a new iPod the first thing he/she does is connects it to the computer The computer gives you a message saying that the iPod needs to be scanned and fixed, or if you want to continue without scanning. The computer then crashes no matter which option you choose. You then realise that all the music and other data from your iPod is not available.


Cause:


* The USB cable you are using is not compatible with the computer.

* The iPod may not be have some sort of a virus/malware which transferred to the computer.

Whichever be the case the data in the iPod gets erased because it was not ejected properly.

Solution:

Although viruses and bugs in an iPod are rare, it's not impossible to have one. They get downloaded with the music from unsafe sites. More often than not, they are harmless to the iPod but pose great threat to the system.

If the USB cable is the problem, all one has to do is get a new USB 2.0 adapter and ensure it is configured to the computer.

Whichever be the case, if the computer has crashed, you can retrieve lost data using either a backup or any of the numerous data recovery software available. When a computer crashes while an iPod is still connected to it, the later too invariably loses data. This data too can be recovered using an iPod Recovery Software. Connect the iPod to the computer, install the software—thats all it takes!! It then scans the iPod, and recovers all iPod data.

iPod Recovery, an extremely user friendly software, enables us to recover ipod data not only quickly but also efficiently. This software supports MIDI, AVI, MOV, MP3, MP4 etc formats enabling it to recover all iPod data.
