error message "failed to initialize" : what's the problem ?
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)
I've got exactly the same problem. It appeared after I updated to Lion 10.7 and two latest updates did not fix it.
Does anyone know what it can be?
Could it be [iPod Service] failed to initialize ?
That Icon looks like two USB cords getting ready to mate.
Any custom sound hardware installed?
Go into your Console application (it's in the Utilities folder) and on the left hand list is the DATABASE SEARCHES list item. If it's not showing, tick on the 'Show/Hide Log List' button on the left top.
Open that and underneath, there should be two lists, 'All Messages' and 'Console Messages' - poke through each one and look at the time and date stamps and see what is repoprting that message.
Will be in the 'Sender [PID]' column - that IDs the programs reporting.
Until you know what *exactly * that message relates to you don't know how to fix it.
Best way is to reboot and go right into the Console and it should be close to the bottom of the list.

I went into the console and could not find it. Any other ideas. I have had the same issue since i upgraded.
I have the same issue. Poking around in the logs does not reveal anything obvious....
It comes from a Startup (or Login) item. Mine was caused by Yamaha Steinberg device.
If you no longer use this device then:
I tried using the "Hide" option but this won't remove the error message.
