Cannot burn CD after installing Itunes

I recently isntalled Itunes and cannot now burn CD's outside of Itunes. Whenever I click on the CD-RW drive i get the error message "incorrect fucntion". There is also now a tab missing from the properties of the drive. I can update the registry setting for this drive to let windows know it is a writebale drive (change the type from a 3 to a 2) and that gives me back the missing tab but then Itunes complains that it needs to be reinstalled because the CD settings have changed. When Itunes gets re-installed the drive type goes back to a 3 from the 2 and I can no longer write CD's using the drive! A work colleague of mine appears to have the same issue (we have the same laptop type and are running the same version of windows). Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Whenever I click on the CD-RW drive i get the error message "incorrect fucntion".
do you have an old version of Easy CD Creator on your PC? usually that symptom is associated with that. see:
"Incorrect function" error message when you access the CD-ROM drive, the DVD-ROM drive, or the CD-RW drive
if you don't currently have one of those versions of Easy CD Creator on the PC, have you ever had oneinstalled on the PC? if so, leftover device filter entries in your Registry may be conflicting with the itunes device filters, causing the issue. if that's what is going, the techniques from the following document may be of some help:

"System extension cannot be used" after installing iTunes 11.4

Installing latest version of iTunes (11.4) today led to the following error message:
System extension cannot be used
The system extension “//System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update.
I'm able to use my USB drive for Time Machine, and that appears to be functioning ok. Why this error message? Anyone else had it? And what does it mean for the continued safe operation of my MacBook? Would be reassuring to know if this is happening for anybody else, and if anyone else has found it affecting them. (Other than the distraction of getting a worrying error message that I take time out to report?)
Thanks in advance.

the "//System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext can just be replaced to overcome the problem as indicated below. Mine was dated 2012 and after the latest iTunes update, stopped working. I noticed this as my personal hotspot connection between my MacBook Pro and my iPhone failed (I use the USB cable for this). To overcome the problem, first unlock the //System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext file, then drag it to the waste bin and empty the waste bin. Then download iTunes and reinstall-you don't have to remove anything-just reinstall. This will put back a newer //System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext file dated 2014. After this, restart your computer and it should now work. I checked the personal hotspot connection via my USB cable and this is what I'm using now writing and posting this. So Good luck. Hopefully Apple will fix this bug in the next update.

Cannot burn CDs after installing Tiger

I recently installed Tiger on my G4. When I try to copy a CD in Toast Lite, I get a message reading, "The volume...could not be unmounted. All open files and programs on this volume must be closed first." However, I have no trouble burning individual audio or other files to a disc, the problem only occurs when I try to copy a CD, even if it is not copyright protected. I also tried to access the Lacie website to see if I need any updates, but I have not been able to access the Lacie site for some mysterious reason.
Any advice would be most helpful. Thank you!

I don't know why but some time ago, when I found this problem, after "The volume...could not be unmounted. All open files and programs on this volume must be closed first." I clicked OK, then I tried to record again and when I clicked for the second time everything was fine.
It seems the solution is try twice, one after one.
Hopefully this solve your problem

TS1277 after installing itunes, my computer won't recognize my cdrom/burner any longer. Worked ok before and I have uninstalled itunes and it works again and when I reinstall itunes it won't work again. I have also went into registry files and deleted

After installing itunes, my desktop computer doesn't recognize my internal cd rom/burner. I removed itunes and it works ok and when I reinstall itunes it won't work again. I went into the windows registry files and deleted the lower filter which is one correction for this and it worked ok until the next itunes upgrade and now it won't work again. If anyone knows what to do please let me know. My device manager shows a code "10"

That suggests an AFS.sys issue. But we'd better doublecheck.
Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". (If you're running iTunes 11.0.x you'll need to bring up your menu bar first to see the Help menu.) Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here. (Use your Ctrl-V keyboard shortcut to paste.)

Cannot connect to Itunes server after installing Itunes 7.5

Help! After installing Itunes 7.5 I cannot connect to the Itunes store. I have a active internet connection but the error I get says the Network connection was refused. Anyone have any suggestions???

I finally uninstalled 7.5 and reinstalled 7.4.3.1. After the first attempt to connect to the iTunes store I got the same error. I tried a 2nd time to connect to the store and this time it connected.
7.5 is useless.

Why don't I get iRadio after installing iTunes 11.1.1 using OS X Mountain Lion in the US?

After installing iTunes 11.1.1 using OS X Mountain Lion, I do not have iRadio (or I cannot find it) in iTunes. Would anyone know a solution? Thanks!

At this point I recommend selling/returning your iPhone, and getting an older one that still has an older supported iOS.
Or buying a used or refurbished Mac that will support the iPhone. http://www.macsales.com/ and http://www.powermax.com/ are both good places to go, and the Apple Store has its own corner of older Macs to go to. Recognize PowerPC applications are not supported at higher than Mac OS X 10.6.8, and that Macs newer than July 20, 2011 can't run 10.6.8 without serious finagling. Migrating from old to new Mac also takes some work.
Recognize you don't have to buy the latest and greatest. Because if you do, you'll have to always try to make sure the software and hardware are running in sync. This is the down side of having integrated products. Eventually it does create older machines that can't run with newer devices.

After installing iTunes, Flash no longer exports .MOV format...

Hi -
I have been using Flash 8 to do animated titling for my podcasts.
But after installing iTunes 7, Flash 8 will no longer export .MOV format. It tells me a Quicktime compenent cannot be found.
Also, QuickTime Pro will not actually play Flash .SWF files. Not sure if this worked before, I never tried it. But it seems to be a QuickTime feature that doesn't work on my machine.
Flash 8
iTunes 7.0.0.70
QuickTime Pro 7.1.3
Any suggestiones or explanations?
I really need to export my Flash animations to .MOV format. It's part of my work scheme. Workarounds cause loss of quality.
Thanks,
Dave Ferreira

Recent security issues has had QuickTime 7.1.3 Player set Flash (inside .mov files) to "disabled".
Any user can re-enable Flash inside .mov files by checking a box in the QuickTime Control Panel (PC) or System Preferences (Mac).
QuickTime Player uses a much older version of Flash and only allows those "published" as version 5, or lower, be used.
The security issues are real. The solution for those of us that use Flash (.swf) inside our QuickTime content is more complex.
If a solution isn't reached between Apple and Adobe about a more modern use of Flash inside QuickTime files I plan on adding a text description (on my Web pages) for the steps to re-enable Flash functionality in my QuickTime files that use Flash.

Re: Satellite P - CD/DVD drive has been disabled after installing itunes 8

*Help*! After installing itunes 8 my CD/DVD/RW has been disabled.
This has happened before and I have restored it by deleting the upper and lower filters in the Vista registry but then itunes tells me that "The registry settings used by the itunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing." and I am unable to burn anything from itunes.
Does anyone out there know how to restore the CD/DVD/RW drive and retain the full use of itunes please?

Have you tried to reinstall iTunes?
Reinstall the old iTunes, reboot the computer and clean by using CCleaner. Then you can install the newest version of iTunes.
If it doesnt work try to remove the upper- and lower filters again. Maybe you should do this after you have reinstalled iTunes.
Last but not least, this could be useful for you:

After installing itunes 10.5 itunes wont open it says i have an error , i need help so i can update my ipod , HELP!!

after instaling itunes 10.5 i cant open itunes , my pc says its an error . . what do i do ?

In order to download iTunes 10.7, which requires OS X 10.6.8, you have to buy OS X 10.6. It's available from the online Apple store, in the US by calling 800-MY-APPLE, or online here. After OS X 10.6 installation, run Software Update until there are no more updates available, at which point you'll be at OS X 10.6.8 and can install iTunes 10.7.
