Registry settings problem

When I open itunes, itunes warns that registry settings used by itunes for importing and burning CDs and DVD are missing. Itunes recommends reinstalling to fix this problem. After multiple reinstallments, problem is not fixed. Any way to fix? Any way to find and input these registry settings directly?

I haven't tried it myself and be careful if you decide to try it as it involves editing the registry.

  • Registry settings problem...upper and lower filters missing!?

    Hi there.
    I'm experiencing what seems to be a common problem - missing registry files for burning CDs in itunes. The warning dialog box comes up when i load itunes.
    I have the current version of itunes.
    My driver's firmware is up to date.
    I found and then began to follow the matching support instructions for this problem at the following page:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2372
    when I got to step 11 and the lower filter was missing, I didn't worry too much...but then I went to the next step and found that I don't have the upper filters either!
    So now I have to solve this second problem first before I can tackle the first...any help would be very much appreciated.
    cheers, justin.

  • When I start iTunes I get this message: 'The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDl and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes.' It doesn't work.

    I have tried reinstalling numerous times but I keep getting the same message and I cannot use the burning feature.  I have other burning software on my computer but it has always been there.  This problem just started recently.  Please help!

    This same thing happened to me about two months. ago. I bought a new harddrive for my previously-fried netbook, and when I installed iTunes it gave me the missing registry business. So I came online and looked for solutions. This solution led to a different 'can't burn' error in iTunes, and I found a solution to that one, and it was like I was running in circles for a solid two weeks. Finally I managed to fix the problem, but after trying it hundreds of times I couldn't tell you which solution won out. Well, everything was fine and dandy, until I upgraded iTunes last night. Now its back to the same registry settings problem, and I want to maim something. Someone please help me ;___;

  • 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.

    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.)

    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:

  • I recently updated to the latest version of iTunes and now get a message saying 'Registry settings for iTune drivers are misng for Cd burning' I have uninstallled and reinstalled iTunes and tried everything to repair the problem but still have no optical

    I am using OS  64 bit Windows Vista Home Premium and recently updated the latest version of iTunes. (I only have this CD burning software on my Laptop). Ever since updating, I  received the message 'Registry settings for the iTune drivers are missing for CD burning'. The drivers for Lower and uppper filters in the registry are missingand I now have no optical drive.  I have unistalled and  reinstalled Itunes and manually entered the filters. Have tried everything including something called GEAR driver installer which was suggested on several technical sites. Everything  was working fine in iTunes until I updated it.. It's strange I can still import music but not burn?? Friend s have told me they have ha dthe same problem when updating iTunes but resolved the problem by uninstalling/reinstalling or altering registry keys.
    Today I went to use my Epson Printer and now have problems with it not working. I decided to uninstall/ install printer software and  still can't get it to work either. I may be wrong but his all seems connected to me?
    I have been trying for days to get  telephone support and  been told today you have to pay
    Please can someone help me before I throw the lot out the window!!!!

    Many thanks b Noir
    This is a copy of ONEof the keys  in the registry I changed  as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR  software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others  they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so  I downloaded the software and installed again.
    Sorry, just this minute went to insert image  and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content  is not allowed?.
    The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr  SiRem GEARAspiWDN.
    The GEARsoftware info about manually deleting  GEAR drive is from:

  • Ever since upgrade to iTunes 11 i get an error message states registry settings for drivers used to import cds are missing

    Error message suggests reinstalling itunes - done. Nothing. (So thats the official Apple suggestion beig useless). Tried a number of fixes listed here after search revealed others had this problem. reinstalled itunes, removed ALL 3rd party burning software (even those that were present when itunes was working), amended registry settngs as detailed in Apple Support pages - this didnt work so returned them to original settings. Downloaded new updated Gear drivers etc still nothing. Does anyone have any other possible solutions? Am running an Acer laptop with Windows 7 and now iTunes 11.1.1.11.
    Diagnostics run from iTunes says CD drive is working and can read the tracks etc but simply can not import anything. If it runs through one track it takes about 5-10 minutes per 4 minue track, then when you try and play it back it has only saved about 4 seconds worth of crackle. Also can not play the CDs through WMP either or VLC or anything else for that matter.
    At wits end now, only option seems to bring forawrd the purchase of replacement laptop but dont want to have same issue in future.
    Need iTunes as have iPods, 2 x iPhones, iPad and Apple TV in family so dont want to jump ship...

  • I received the following message when iTunes launches: "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CD's or DVD's are missing.  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning softwarre.  Please reinstall iTunes"

    Everytime I connect my iPod Touch (4th Gen) to my laptop, running Win 7 (64 bit) I get the 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 several times and it has not fixed the issue.  I am running ver 10.2.2.12 of iTunes.  I HAVE NOT installed any other burning software to my laptop either.  I haven't tried uninstalling iTunes and then re-installing it yet.  Would that perhaps fix the problem?  I've read that many users have had issues with the new version of the software and I was wondering if that might be causing my issue.  I'd like to point out that iTunes seems to work after getting rid of the message, but I haven't tried to burn any CDs or put music from a CD to my laptop.  Any ideas on how to get rid of the annoying message?
    I also am having trouble hooking up with our other computers using  Homegroup.  I noticed quite a lot of people are having the same issue and hopefully they come up with a fix for that soon.
    Thanks in advance.

    Lately whenever I open iTunes, I get that same error message.  At the end of the message it suggests re-installing iTunes, but this didn't correct the error.  I looked up the problem on the help and support website and found several articles describing the error and the known possible causes.  The problem is since there is more than one cause, there is more than one soulution.  I'm not sure about the correct action to take.  I included the links to some of the articles and my system information below.

  • What do I need to do with the warning of "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs is missing."? I have already uninstalled and reinstalled itunes but there has been no change. I have PowertoGo on my HP.

    What do I need to do to correct the problem. Unistalling and reinstalling iTunes has not helped. I have PowerToGo on my HP. I can burn through this program but want to do so by iTunes. Any Suggestions that would help? Diagnostics for iTunes states that "No driver found" E:hp DVD A DH16ACSH.

    When I click on itunes, I get a message that says, "the registry settings used by the itune drivers for importing and burning cds and dvds are missing.  this can result from installing other cd burning software.  Reinstall itunes."  I am a really inexperienced computer user.

  • Registry settings used by itunes drivers for importing and burning CD's and DVD's are missing.  Please reinstall itunes.

    Yes, it's the "Registry settings used by iTunes ...." issue which has been a problem going back at least to 2009, according to the posts here.  You would think that Apple would make an effort to solve this, but apparently it's not of concern to them.  Style - yes; function - no.  Sigh.
    In any case, I've read many of the ~200 threads and have, without success ....
       * Reloaded iTunes
       * Deleted iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support
       * Verified that iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled
       * Installed Gear drivers
    System: Windows 7, 64-bit, 8GB RAM, all programs/updates/drivers current.  Toshiba/Samsung CD player (current drivers). 
    Occasionally in this process iTunes has behaved properly when a CD is loaded, but then it reverts to dysfunction.  Most frustratingly, the error message appeared immediately after that deleted/verified song and dance described above and recommended by Apple. 
    I have not gotten into messing with my registry because, well, if that's the level of user involvement required here then the program is truly broken.  When I owned a 1959 Triumph I often had to tinker with the carbuerator, adjust the timing and use an ether starter spray, but automobiles seem to have progressed since then.  I thought that Apple products "just worked."  No.  I've used Macs in the past and though  I'm not a Windows fanboi, my work requires it and I've found Win 7 remarkably stable over the past 3 years.  I've NEVER had an issue like this with any program (and I've installed/deleted/used many dozens).
    Is this a fixable problem or should I just dump iTunes for something else that actually works?  Opinions and suggestions appreciated.  Thanks.

  • ITunes 9 Registry Settings Error

    Ever since upgrading to iTunes 9 I've been getting this error...
    "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CD's are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, with no luck.
    I have downloaded and installed updated drivers from GEAR, but that didn't help.
    I have followed the instructions on this Apple article to troubleshoot...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2372?viewlocale=en_US
    When I get to Step 12, I run into a problem because there is no UpperFilters entry. Could this be causing my problems with the iTunes 9 upgrade?
    How do I fix this? Looking for any help I can get. Thank you in advance!

    the same thing happened to my itunes, i couldnt figure out how to fix it.
    my solution was to just rip cds to windows media player, and convert to itunes
