Burner not Found?

Hmm. My internal burner has worked fine in past but today i get a "burner not found" error in all of my burning softwares. I clearly have one, but it is not recognized today. any ideas why?
PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-112D:
Firmware Revision: BC14
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)
Cache: 0 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -RW

Do you cut the power to your machine overnight (not just shut it down)? If this recurs, I'd try two things:
Reset the parameter ram 4 times in a row.
If that doesn't fix it, then check the battery.

Disc Burner Not Found Windows Vista

Im getting disc burner not found or burning software not found with iTunes 7.2 using Windows Vista x64
It worked fine in Windows XP!
I use a Sony DRU-810A with latest 1.0f firmware.
Please fix this Apple this is annoying, it worked in XP!

Im getting disc burner not found or burning software not found with iTunes 7.2 using Windows Vista x64
the x64 thing may be the key to this.
check your DVD/CD diagnostics. (in iTunes, go "help > run diagnostics" and select DVD/CD diagnostics.) do you see error 2380 showing up next to the CD or DVD drives in the diagnostics?
if so, try reinstalling the 64-bit version of the GEAR drivers that iTunes uses for importing and burning. the GEAR drivers are available from the following page. (note that there are two different versions of the 64-bit drivers, so be sure to get the version that matches your hardware):

"Disk Burner Not Found..." My turn -

Or, "When does the Help Reply 72 hour response start?"
First of all, thank you, and you know who you are, for the fix to the Burner Not Found issue. This little rant is simply to help others who will have the same problem as I.
Im brand new to iPods and the like, and it was the Nano that got me hooked very impressive. I also was very impressed with iTunes too.
After I imported all my CDs I decided to burn backup some DVDs mostly cause I could. And I was able to, well at least three of them. Then, admittedly for reasons I dont recall, I did a firmware update for my DVD (and yes, I got the right one).
Thats when iTunes started to give me the Disk Burner or Software Not Found error. What seemed odd to me was that I could still Import a CD, in the Preferences - Advanced - Burning tab, the disk burner iTunes couldnt find was listed. And, with other software, burning a disk worked just fine.
I did as many as you did, I removed iTunes (saving my music under a different name, and location), reinstalled iTunes with the same results.
Finally, I found you good people, and read the fix, well part of the fix. I tried putting my burner in the first Asus grouping I found the in gcdoem.cfg that didnt work, so I did as someone else here did, I put it in every grouping I found that already had an Asus burner listed which worked.
So, thank you.
Oh, then the funny part. When I restarted iTunes, I got this message Could not find your preferred Disk Burner. Ok to use E: ASUS DRW-1608P (ATAE:) instead?
Ah, my preferred burner? that would be the only one I have
Phat
p.s. Could someone explain to me, why in the config file, almost every grouping of burners calls the same dll?
Weird.

Hey Phat
This seems to be the same problem I've got and exactly the same burner. But when I add the entries to gcdoem.cfg I still have the same problem. Could you show me exactly the entries you added just incase I've done it wrong.

DVD Burner not found

I have recently installed a new DVD burner on my PC however when I tried to burn a DVD from Premier Elements it states that the burner is not found.
I have however been able to burn a disc when using AVCHD as it finds the burner.
The drop down for the find burner location is alos blank and not letting me find the drive.
Does anyone have any suggestions as top what I can do to get the dvd recognised.

This is now the 4th old post (this time only 1 year old instead of 3 to 4 like the others) in which you are sharing the same generalized report on what worked for you with a burner recognition problem. In each of your other threads that I am finding, I am asking for the following same supplemental information from you, information which I feel is important to your shared content. So, I repeat
endfates
What version of Premiere Elements are you working with and on what computer operating system is it running?
With what type of burner are you working where you had this burner not recognized issue - Blu-ray/DVD/CD or just DVD/CD?
What specific video codecs did you find it necessary to install beyond what was provided for by the program, QuickTime, Windows Media Player,
and the usual assortment of players?
Besides "burner not recognized", did you have any "media not present" issues as well?
This information would be important since there is a 4 year gap between since the last entry in this thread (2010) and your post in this thread
tonight (2014).
Thank you.
ATR
Again, I point out that there are negative as well as positive aspects to the try this and try that "codecs". That is why I feel the requested information is important to the serial generalized messages that you are posting one after the other tonight in 1 to 4 year old threads.

Disk Burner Not Found

When I try to burn disks on iTunes, I recieve the message "Disk Burner or software not found..." I have installed the latest version of iTunes.
Any suggestions on what I should do?
Dell Windows XP

I also have the same issue, however, I am Running the release Version of Vista x64.
here's my hardware info:

I also have Nero Ulta 7 Installed, and it sees both RW drives and works fine with them.
Here's my diagnostics page (I realize Vista x64 may be the main reason, my question is how long before an official Vista ready version of iTunes will be available, and then when will an x64 official version be available?)

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.

Do you mean you're trying to do a Time Machine backup to DVDs? If so, no, that's not a supported destination for Time Machine.

Disc burning not found

The first time I got this message I spent hours trying to figure it out and gave up. The next time, I uninstalled and re-installed iTunes, assuming it solved the problem. I was able to burn CDs then. Today (about two weeks later) I got the message again, and can't burn CDs without un- and re-installing. What gives? Can you help? I don't want to have to do this every time I purchase something!

Windows Vista Home Basic: Disc burner or software not found..

Need some help please!?
I have searched sites across that internet in hopes to find a solution to this problem. I hope someone can help.
I have an acer running windows home basic. I have recently installed iTunes (its the best!!). I went to burn a disc and when I click the button at the bottom of the screen, it says "disc burner or software nout found"..
For some reason, I thought it was my Daemon tools virtual CD emulator, uninstalled that, still having the same problem..
HELP!?

+The error message isn't exactly the usual one, I wonder if you have another issue such as Daemon tools, iTunes doesn't like virtual drives.+
Hi p. Just a possible heads up on distinguishing the 64-bit thing from the Daemon tools thing. With earlier "Disk Burner not found" messages related to missing the 64-bit drivers (on a 64-bit system), the error codes in the DVD/CD diagnostics next to the affected drives typically used to be 2380, and 2355. (rather than the 2510 that seemed to be associated with the Daemon Tools SPTD driver thing on 32-bit systems that could produce a "Disk Burner not found".)
I'm well out of date with troubleshooting this on recent versions (7.4.x or above), though,

Keep getting Disc Burner or software not found when trying to burn a CD

I am not able to burn a playlist to a CD and get an error at the top of Itunes window "Disc Burner or Software Not Found". I have been able to burn CDs in the past with this same computer but had some issues with songs in itunes. Support had me uninstall Itunes and reinstall. I have also uninstalled the device in the device manager and re-installed it. I really don't know what to try except to ask for help here. I would appreciate any direction I can get. I have a Dell desktop XPS running on Windows 8.

Hi daurel,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you receive the error "Disc Burner or Software Not Found" when trying to burn CDs. You mention that you've already tried removing and reinstalling iTunes, and other drivers, and these are good steps.
If the situation continues, be sure to try the tips in this article:

Itunes is not recognizing my CD burnner. I have no trouble importing music nor do I have any problems burning CDs outside of itunes. I have actually been having this problem for some time now.
