How do you solve a DVD drive recognition conflict between Windows 7 and iTunes?

After doing an iTunes reinstall to resolve another issue, I discovered that my PC running Windows 7 would not recognize my DVD burner, drive E:
when attempting to do a backup to a DVD disk. Window 7 Device Manager indicated that there was a registry issue and assigned a code 19. I called Microsoft Support and they want into my Windows registry and made the required changes to correct the problem for $99 as the OS is out of support. I bring this issue to your attention in case you have a similar DVD recognition issue if you do an iTunes reinstall. The issue has been resolved. However, when I open iTunes now, I get a message as follows:
"The registry used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software". I did not install other CD burning software. Only iTunes was reinstalled. I can still import CDs into iTunes using my DVD drive so I ignore this annoying message every time I open iTunes. I am an iPad 2 user on iOS 6.

Thanx b Noir for your recommendation. I did not see your recommended solution from my search. As a user with medium IT technical skills, I would only put this caveat out there that any time you change a system registry your risk is very high and the downside consequences can be severe due to any error e.g. A space or incorrect character, incorrect instruction, etc. So each user should decide based on their own experience and confidence level which remediation route they should take - third party remediation or do it yourself help.

My 6th generation nano isn't recognized by my computer. When I plug it in an error message pops up, which says "USB Device Not Recognized". Does anyone know how to start trouble shooting this. I updated both windows and iTunes.

I can not sign out of itunes from the library.. I click store tab in the library the sign out. the tab turns black and freezes up. I have to shut down and restart .

A picture would be very helpful in demonstrating what you are having trouble with.
Lacking that, I will guess.
VI Properties >>> Windows Size
lets you define the minimum size of a FP window.
Well that's my guess!

How to make the CD/DVD drive compatible on Satellite 5000-204

Hi all,
I see a thread on replacing CD/DVD drive on this notebook, but it was closed, so i write this post.
The most of recent unit is "cable select" type and will not be recognized from many Toshiba notebook.
To solve that you must search a drive for which you can found a firmware update that change it to be "reverse cable select" type, as Nec or Optiarc
If you buy a drive that can't be recognize (like me) read below.
I succesfully replaced the DVD-ROM/CD-RW unit with a Pioneer DVR-KD08 DVD writer.
This unit is a "cable select" type (as most other recent unit) so it can't be recognise by this notebook (and many other Toshiba models). The solution is to connect pin 45 and 47 together on the drive or on the connector adapter (this second solution is simpler).
If you watch the drive from behind these pins are the second and third from the left on the upper row of pin of the connector.
In the connector adapter it's simpler to connect these pin (with care) with a solder iron directly on the circuit board.
Obviously on the circuit board the pins are the second and third from the right.
After this the unit will recognize ok.

Hi buddy
First of all thank you for participation in the forum its always nice to have users who shares the own experience and knowledge.
Thanks you also for this info how to make the CD/DVD drive compatible.
But to be honest Im a little bit skeptical because there is a chance that the drive could be damage during this procedure.
So everyone could do this but only at the own risk!!!
Usually the compatible drives can be found in the user manual and it would be useful taking a look into the user manual before buying an NOT compatible drive ;)
Cheers mate

How do you open the DVD tray on a K430 without using Windows Explorer?

How do you open the DVD tray on a K430 without using Windows Explorer? I can't find a button on or below the door. Am I missing something? Additionally, will the K430 boot from a DVD/CD if it finds one in the DVD tray instead of the hard disk? Please help. Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi penguin247,
Regarding your questions:
1. Can you try to press the eject symbol on the DVD bay and observe if the DVD tray comes out.
Link to picture
2. By default, the HDD is set as the first boot device and the ODD second on the K430. You will need to change the boot order or continuously tap F12 during POST to boot from the ODD (assuming you have a bootable media inserted).

There are instruction in the manual that came with the computer. Set the drive jumper to CS (Cable Select). You will need to remove the tray's lip.

How can you install the DVD or CD Sharing Setup software?

How can you install the DVD or CD Sharing Setup software for a computer running MAC OSX 10.4.11 if you do not have a MacBook Air?

You'll find the software you're looking for here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/dvdorcdsharingsetupupdateformac.html
However, say for example you install this on your iMac G4 or Windows XP PC (you'll need to get the link for that one yourself), are you planning to try to share the drive with an iBook or other non-MacBook Air computer? If this is your case, I'm not shure if it can be done with that software. I'll need to get back to you on that one.

How do you solve error "You can't use this version of the application Install Mac OS X.app with this version of Mac OS X" when trying to go back to leopard from lion?

How do you solve error "You can't use this version of the application Install Mac OS X.app with this version of Mac OS X" when trying to go back to leopard from lion?
Local Mac shop said to hold down "c" after inserting disk to get "disk utility" to come up in order to wipe hard drive. I can't seem to get it to do this.

This W7 was purchased for using Fusion, as others did - per reviews from amazon. The technician today called their contact at VMWare - Fusion not officially for use with Lion - even though I read at the VMWare support site that others have made it work. Apparently my setup doesn't work.
Do you know how to do the proceedure for bringing up the disk utility when starting the disk?
BTW, some of the windows applications I want to continue using are Incredimail, Calendarscope, Stamps.com and a few others I have used over many years. What do you use for email and calendar?
Wow, sounds like another reason to not use MS Windows.
Regarding your Disk Utility question, please elablorate I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Disk Utilty is just that...a utility, it's something most users never have to use especially on a new computer. Let me know what you're trying to do there before I give you some instructions.
As for as your Windows apps I would recommend using Mail and iCal, both come as part of OS X and are very robust tools. Don't discount the software built right into OS X it's very robust and powerful not all like the bloatware most Windows boxes ship with. Stamps.com well I'd look for another alternative. It's clear they don't support OS X which makes me a little suspicious that they're so behind the times.
Also if you have not been exposed to these links before I'd strongly recommend bookmarking them and using them. They're extermely useful!

How do you know a hard drive is bad?

how do you know a hard drive is bad?

From the OS X "Help" system:
Check whether a disk is about to fail
You can check the health of many disks in Disk Utility. Many disks include Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T) hardware, which lets a disk test itself for potential problems.
Open Disk Utility.
Select the disk in the list at the left.
If you see a message saying the disk has a fatal hardware error, the disk has an irreparable hardware problem that can’t be fixed by Disk Utility or any other utility that repairs software problems. Back up as much of the data on the disk as possible, and then replace the disk.
If you don’t see a message saying the disk has a hardware error but you still have problems with the disk, you can try to repair it with Disk Utility.

I have lost my external drive on desk top. How do you remount the external drive

I have lost my external drive from iMac desk top. How do you remount the external drive?
WindyCityNorth

Kappy Thanks for help.. I had already tried the Disk Utility but external drive did not show. What worked was to shut down every thing and shut off power to all. Disconnect power to the external drive. Connected power to computer and then restarted the computer. After the computer was up and running, I reconnected power to external drive and then turn it on. At this point the external drive returned to my desk top

How would you solve the following Synch Async scenario?

Hi,
I have the following use case and would like to know thoughts from the community on how to solve it -
There is a web based portal sending a create order request to ESB and the ESB does some message processing and passes it to a CRM to complete the order processing and generate a order id to be sent back to the portal user.
Non Functional Requirements -
1) Reliability
2) Performance in terms of response time to the user.
Issues -
1) The web service exposed by CRM takes a long time to process the request and it is not acceptable that the Portal end user waits for that long to get the Order ID back..
2) If we make a SOAP/HTTP call from Portal --> ESB and then another SOAP/HTTP call from ESB ---> CRM then the reliability is compromised.
Solution -
The solution that we are proposing is as follows -
1) Make a SOAP/HTTP call from Portal to ESB and then put the message in a JMS Queue which will persist it. This will provide reliability and QOS.
2) Generate a random unique number (which will act as the order id for the user) inside the ESB and send it back to the user immediately after persisting the message in the queue. Also persist this interim order id in a database.
3) Pick the message from the queue using MDB or Proxy service (specific to Oracle Service Bus because that is what we have as an ESB) and send the message to CRM.
4) CRM takes its own time to process the request from MDB and sends the response (actual OrderID in CRM) which is then persisted corresponding to the row in step#2. Thus for future search by the user we can use this mapping to get the actual order details from CRM.
I do not see this as a scenario which is unique or unusual, where an Asynch request needs to made to look as synch to the user. But the solution we are proposing seems to be crude to me and with loopholes (like how to handle scenarios where CRM returns an error etc.) which would require lot of effort to be fixed.
Questions -
1) What is your opinion about the solution and suggestions about a better/cleaner way to implement it?
2) Is there any standard approach to solve such kind of issue without creating so much of complexity (where we have to write code to keep the mapping and take care of all other issues)?
3) Is there any pattern that can help solve this problem?
4) Have you ever faced this issue and how did you solve it?
Regards
Ananya

Hi Ananya,
If its not required to give Order ID to Portal user immediately, you can update Portal with Order ID in async manner.
What I propose is,
1. Let Portal call in Async manner, thread is released. (JMS can be used as well to improve reliability.)
2. CRM takes the request and responds with order id or an error, calls webservice of AIA.
3. AIA's WS then update Portal with Order ID or error in proper format.
Thanks,
Manish

HT201737 how do you close a thumb drive that does not show in finder?

How do you close a thumb drive that does not show in finder?

What do you mean by "Close?"
Eject??
If so, you could use Go to Computer to find it if it is not in the Sidebar or on the Desktop. Ctrl-click or Right-click on the drive and choose Eject <diskname>
Or, you could set it to show in the SideBar in the Finder Preferences, SideBar tab. Then, it would have an eject icon next to it in the Sidebar.

How do you open a DVD/file in another search engine

how do you open a DVD/file in another search engine?

Hi
I think it is simpler than that: place DVD in computer and then try to run a video from the disk. It will not run using Safari, but I know it runs in Firefox which I have on the computer.
I believe that I can depress one of the moifier keys while clicking an item on the application menu bar to open a menu where you can open the dvd using Firefox or another application.
Should be simple, but yet to find solution.
