Itunes driver's registry settings for burning CDs/DVDs are missing,

Links provided by the Apple support staff thus far

are generic and do not address the problem I've described in numerous posts - I have read and implemented these suggestions with out success. When launched, itunes complains that "the registry settings used by itunes drivers for importing and burning CDs/DVDs are missing" is missing CD drivers. When I acknowledge the problem and try to burn CDs from itunes the error message "disk recording is not found" is received.
Here are the diagnostics:

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

Failed loading CD / DVD drives, error -43. Try doing a repair install on iTunes from the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel.
The last failed audio CD burn had error code -128(0xffffff80). It happened on drive F: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-104 on CDR media at speed 0X.
The CD burner works on other programs! Problem occurred with upgrade to latest version of itunes.
1. Installed of the latest gear drivers
2. Upgraded burner firmware
3. Reloaded/repaired itunes on numerous occasions
4. Using latest latest Nero software from an Admin account and launched program to ensure Nero Burner rights are installed.
5. Performed registry hacks & removed values of upper/lower filters as prescribed (no joy).
There are NUMEROUS people having this problem with no assistance; reference http://discussions.apple.com/myposts.jspa
Help Please!

Yes, your green bookmarked article really solved my question.
Thank you very much!

  • Registry settings for burning CDs/DVDs missing when Itunes installed

    I have recently had to reinstall ITunes following a computer crash. I am unable to burn to CD - when I start up ITunes I am told that the "registry settings are missing" and am told to reinstall, which I have done without success. I have not loaded any other CD/DVD burning software, and can burn CDs using other programmes. Any ideas? Thank you.

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

    Have you tried redownloading the GEAR drivers from feed://www.gearsoftware.com/rss/GEAR-drivers-feed.php ?
    Sometimes reinstalling them fixes the problem.

    I am also one of the many people who now, after installing v. 5.0.1, get the message that itunes cannot find the registry settings to allow me to burn cds. I didn't have this problem with 5.0, so i am getting upset. I have tried to repair itunes, but no luck.

  • Missing registry entries for burning CDs

    I used iTunes to burn soe playlists. This worked well. However, I also installed Nero Exprss after that. After this when  I brought up iTunes it gave the message "MIssing registry entries - cannot import or burn CDs or DVDs - reinstall iTunes" Though I was still able to import CDs after that, I cannot burn CDs. The error does not go away even after re-installing iTunes several times (either usiing an Update or after unistalling and doing a fresh install).
    How can I fix this problem ?

  • 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).
