Itunes 8 "Drive for importing and burning CD/DVD are missing"

I downloaded ITUNES 8 two weeks ago and, like many, have been receiving this message since. THE REGISTRY SETTINGS USED BY THE ITUNES DRIVER FOR IMPORTING AND BURNING CD'S AND DVD'S ARE MISSING. Can anyone offer a fix/solution? (BTW...When I downloaded ITUNES 8, it also blew away QUICKTIME).

Take a look at this link
http://www.gearsoftware.com/wiki/index.php?title=CD/DVDdrives_disappear_after_installingiTunes
I was having the same problem...actually for the last year and I found this info last week and followed the info and now so far everything is good. I finally can burn a cd in itunes and all my cd,dvd and media drives are in place and working.
Hope this helps for some one.....

  • The Registry Settings Used by the itunes drivers for importing and Burning CD's are missing

    I get the following error message in the latest version of iTunes on start-up
    The Registry Settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and Burning CD's and DVD's are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes.
    I tried troubleshooting from a guide on another apple support page and it worked but stopped the DVD Drive working and I have tried reinstalling iTunes but that failed and I don't know what to do and how to get rid of this error on start-up of iTunes

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    The regsitry setting used by the I tunes drivers for importing adn burning CD's & Dvd's are missing.  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software.  I have re-installed I tunes several times uninstalling all components in the correct order.  Also put registry settings in  the registry editor for the device filter and still am getting this message.

  • HT1923 I keep getting the message that my registry settings for importing and burning cd's is missing.

    I have uninstalled itunes and its files assoc. with itunes( apple application support, bonjour, etc) and reinstalled itunes.  I have done this 3 times with no changes.  I then went into regedit and followed those instructions with no changes.  I am so frustrated, any suggestions?

    I then went into regedit and followed those instructions with no changes.
    Can you post a screenshot of the contents of the key you've been editing, please? Include all of the regedit screen, including the left-hand column. Save the screenshot to an image file, and insert the image file in a reply by clicking the wee camera icon at the top of the reply window.
    For example, this is what I'm seeing when I look at my key:

  • ITunes says registry settings for importing and burning CDs or DVDs are missing.

    i get a message after installing itunes 10.7 that registry settings are missing for importing and burning CD/DVDS. Says probably due to installing other burning sofware. Re-install ituenes.  I never installed anything between the older 10.6 and the new 10.7........just updated when it said new Apple software was available.  The update process seemed to delete the 10.6 install and then re-install a new version of itunes, 10.7.  Then the registry settings error message started coming up each time I start itunes. What's the proper way to re-install?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

  • ITunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing

    Hi,
    I recently switched from a relatively small drive to a much larger one and had the larger drive taking image of the older drive.  All of my older programs are now back up to working but I can still can't burn a CD.
    I get the following error message "the registry settings 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.  Please reinstall iTunes."
    I have reinstalled iTunes a few times and have done soft and hard reboots but still no luck.  Any ideas on the simplest way to resolve this matter?

  • The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning.

    Please Help! Problem Burning CD's with iTunes 8!?
    I downloaded iTunes 8 a few days ago. I think something went wrong, and it was taking a long time, so I canceled it, but it was nearly finished. When I opened iTunes, everything was fine, and all the new stuff (Genius and whatever else) was there, but this message came up:
    Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CD's and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes.
    So, I went to the Apple website and clicked "download iTunes 8", and a box came up that asked me if I wanted to repair iTunes, or do something else. Obviously it knew I had already downloaded it, so I clicked "Repair". It ran, and it said everything worked. Then I clicked on iTunes, hoping the burning would work. The same message came up as before. When I tried to burn a CD, a similar message came up. WHAT DO I DO? Thank you.

    Here is the solution!
    Go to this website: http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/drivers.php
    Download the proper driver and install.
    I am running Vista. I had two, actually three problems. First was that for some reason, my CD/DVD drive disappeared. I found that the solution to this was to delete the LowerFilters and UpperFilters strings in the registry. That worked and I got my CD drive back. However, I then got that pesky error message from iTunes. That was the second problem. The third problem was that I could no longer burn CD's of my playlists from iTunes and it said that the "disc burner or software was missing." Going online, I discovered that I was not the only one experiencing these three problems.
    I happened to find the solution about the Gear drivers at http://www.pcdoctor-guide.com/wordpress/?p=2726. Installing the x32_x64 driver, of course, worked for me since I'm running a PC laptop. This took care of all three problems for me.
    If you notice, the other post about editing the registry makes reference to the Gear ASPI driver. Gear is the one (as you would read on the first link) that provides the drivers for software to burn CD's.
