Registry settings changed for burning cds

I got the iTunes Assistant message that said the registry setting used by the iTunes drives for importing and burning CD's and DVD's are wrong. I suggested that I reinstall iTunes, so I did.
However, I am still getting the same message and can't figuer out how to get it to work.

Check out http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2615
Personally, I'd first try reinstalling GEAR. Even though the symptoms are different than described here, this article has the link to reinstalling it: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308

Registry settings changed, cannot burn cds!

for some reason, when i open itunes on my laptop now, i get a message,, " warning!" "The registry setings 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." ive reinstalled 4 times, to no avail, it still comes up, and won't burn.

Hi there!
I work for a computer tech place and wanted to let you all know what CAUSES the problem, though I have yet to find a way to fix it other then a COMPLETE RECOVERY of your OS. The registry fixes do not seem to do any help what so ever. . .
If you are using VISTA, it is in fact your CD ROM that does not allow this part of the program to work. The same registry files that iTunes uses to WRITE dvds/cds are the same ones that hide your ODD. The "CD-Rom" Fix that some vista users have to use inorder to use their ODDs again, in fact breaks iTunes. It destroys your registry files needed to do so.
As for XP im positive its the same thing. We do not get to many XP PCs anymore, so Im not positive with those, but for VISTA users thats the problem.
The only solution I've seen is a complete recovery. And that is NO fun.
Make sure you back-up your files before you do a manufacturer recovery. . . you lose everything.
Sorry guys.

I used to be able to print labels for burned CDs with the cover being the playlist name and the other side the song titles...now the titles print out compacted, overlapping each other and illegible. I thought it was the printer but it happened w/1 other printer as well, which I used before for this exact thing w/no problem.

Try cleaning the print head with rubbing alcohol wipe, then replace your print head. Keep pushing the Ok.

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.

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.

I deleted and reinstalled itunes twice to no avail. Anyone knows what I can do?
I am ruuning on Windows XP.
Thanks
Mary

Have you tried redownloading the GEAR drivers from feed://www.gearsoftware.com/rss/GEAR-drivers-feed.php ?
Sometimes reinstalling them fixes the problem.
I also found this wiki post that might help - http://www.gearsoftware.com/wiki/index.php?title=CD/DVDdrives_disappearing_due_to_incorrect_registryentry

Since I installed Nero 2104 I get an error message when I try to start iTunes: registry settings changed probably due to other cd/dvd burning program please reinstall iTunes, which I've done using repair option but the problem persists...?

Since I installed Nero 2014 I get an error message when I start iTunes that registry settings for importing and burning cds/dvds have changed probably due to other burning software installed please reinstall iTunes, which I've done using 'repair' option, but the problem persists. I have been able to import cds to iTunes since I installed Nero, but it won't anymore. Does anyone recognize this problem and have a solution? Thanks for any help. Using Windows 7.

iTunes for Windows: "Registry settings" warning when opening iTunes
If you're still getting the error message (especially when you plug in the Touch), I'd check for a device filter confusion on the PC. (They can affect the connection of USB devices to a PC, as well as burning and importing CDs.) For that one, see:

"The registry setting used by itunes for burning CDs are missing"

Whenever I start up Itunes... I get this error message.
"The registry settings used by the Itunes drivers for importing & burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall Itunes".
Problem is... when I reinstall itunes nothing changes.
I've got Roxio cd-burning software installed on my computer. Is there a conflict with this software?
I can't burn songs from Itunes on to a CD. I haven't tried importing a CD or DVD but I'm guessing that won't work either.
Any advice??
Nano Windows XP

I was able to repair the problem.
FIRST__REMOVE THE WINDOWS XP MAY 15th Updates!
1. Go to gear's website and download either the 32

4. reboot your machine and it should work.
ABIT Windows XP

What is the address of the website that you have to get to in order to download the beta drivers? I am having the same problem and have also installed and re-installed itunes & quick time more than once. Help!

Every time I plug my Ipod Nano or Ipad 2 into my computer I get the same error message. It says that registery settings are missing for importing burning cds and dvds due ot other burning software and to untinstall itunes and reinstall Itunes.

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 ?

Registry used by itunesdrivers for burning CDs are missing - help!

Hello All.
I have just upgraded my itunes from version 6 to the latest, and now it cannot see audio CDs or burn a CD. Everytime I start it up I get this message:
+Warning! The registry used by theitunesdrivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall itunes.+
If it helps, I have followed the information is this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5105496&#5105496
...but it still doesn't work. I also checked out this thread on Tech Support guy (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5105496&#5105496) but nothing there works either (although I haven't done the 'Delete SPTD.SYS from the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers folder.' etc instructions as I don't think I have daemon tools on this PC, unless they snuck in the back door somewhere). I also don't have other 'cd-burning software' - the PC came with a programme called Record Now, but there hasn't been a problem with that before.
I'm not that technical, and don't know why nothing seems to work now. I would be very grateful if anyone can offer some advice, or can point me in the direction of a thread on here that might shed further light on this mystery. I have reinstalled, restarted, uninstalled, rebooted - everything I can think of!
Thank you so much in advance,
Jayne

Hello again,
Thank you for posting those links. This is now solved, and I am so happy!
Basically I had to manually delete the gear files from the registry and then reinstall with the latest. Both of these instructions can be found via the links above, should anyone else come to this forum with the same issue. The instructions were clear, even to a novice like me.
Thanks again, Polydorus, for all your help.

Drivers for burning CDs

Help needed!
A message that registry settings for Drivers for importing & burning CDs & DVDs is missing appears when opening iTunes.
As advised by the error message I re-installed V 10.6.1.7 (from fresh download) but still get the same message.
iTunes does read CDs but will not burn one.
Ran diagnostics for CD/DVD drive tests. Not sure how to attach them to this question.
Thanks
BroughtonRd
