I get this message several times a day and all I can do is restart my iMac and the videos and music play for a while and I get this message again. As of this time without restarting my iMac I can't play anything out of iTunes

I personally had this same error message with youtube and vlc player. I tried the standard restart, cleared my cache and installed firefox and Chrome to try another brower. That didn't work...
However I realised that I had customised a multiple output device in the computers Midi Settings earlier.
So as soon as I returned the sound to Macbook speakers the problem was solved and the videos played.
