Cant Burn CD's because of "Registry Settings" missing??

I have nano Ipod and have tried for hours to uninstall any CD-burning software from by computer as when I install it Ipod software on my computer it says "The Registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burnind CD's and DVD's are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall ITunes.
I have deleted the Sonic burner and reinstalled itunes 4 different times. What should I do. I want to put the songs on a CD to listen in the car.
Please help me someone.
Thanks

This really should have been posted in the "Using iTunes for Windows" section, but I can answer it for you. I noticed you list Windows ME as your Operating system. If you are using Windows ME, that is the key to all of your troubles. iTunes for Windows will not work with any version of Windows other than 2000 or XP. If you are using XP, you'll need to look into running a system file check to be sure that none of your Windows components have been deleted or damaged. (This usually requires your original Windows XP CD) Click Start>Choose Run, and type sfc /scannow in the "name" box, then hit Enter or click Run. This will scan your Windows files to make sure they are intact and operating properly. If any files are not in place or functioning, the SFC will ask you to put in your Windows CD so it can re-write them from the disc. I hope this helps.

Importing & burning CDs registry settings missing

Since I installeld iTunes on new Windows 7 PC I continually get this message at startup "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a reuslt of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes"
I've already uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, including on the last try, all the associated Apple software, Bonjour etc., and this hasn't fixed this. Is there something I need to also do to the Windows registry to give an absolutely fresh install?
I dont' burn that many CDs but I'm quite likely to want to import more CDs as I never imported my whole collection.

You might have two different things going on at once here.

Registry Settings Missing?

I am running Windows XP Pro SP 3, and have repeatedly uninstalled & reinstalled iTunes, but keep getting this message:
"The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs & DVDs missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
I've reinstalled, with no luck. What now?
Thanks!

Well So much for support, NO one can tell me HOW to fix the registry so that the itunes will recognize the burning. Isnt ther a Place to just download the DRIVERS ????? If i burn the music MP4 icons to a different burning software it burns and will play music on the PC but NOT in the car stereo. someone said i needed to purchase the music in a different format, but I wasnt given any options. they look the same as myother music on mylaptop. ( which will not PLAY the new downloaded songs......even though i authorized them ) Im so lost with this its a hassle. If both my computers are autorized , they should let us download the music to each one, as obviously just copying them and moving is NOT helping me out.
I wish someone had some answers !!!!
IF anyone can help Email me. PLEASE

Can't install iTunes - registry settings missing

On installing iTunes, I get a message 'Registry settings used by iTunes for importing and burning CDs/DVDs are missing'. I have Vista and on updating it, I lose email, Norton etc. so tend not to update. Thanks to anyone who can help.

Resolved this problem by altering the registry settings (Microsoft Knowledge Base has the solution)

I cant burn a disk because of error 4450 please help!!

Im trying to burn a halifax cd i baught on itunes and the disk burn gets cancelled not in any paticular song (ive tried a few times) and it says unable to burn because of error 4450 what do i do?

Hi, imanewbie. Somehow you've wandered into a forum devoted to iPhoto. You would probably do better to post your question in this iTunes forum, where other people who are saddled with Windows will try to help you. Good luck!

ITunes Registry Settings Missing

hi, Every time i startup itunes 7 on my pc i get this screen and i can't burn anything (i an import though):
http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/5773/ituneserrorew0.png
i've re-installed five times (and no, i don't have another burning software installed, except for the basic windows cd writing thing) in the last two days, and i keep getting this error. i'm having problems downloading album art (tunes hangs then i have to end itunes manually) , and also: when i try to use coverflow my system hangs and then i get a blue screen of death and the system restarts (something i haven't seen since the days of windows 98). right now i'm scared to plug in my ipod 4g, for fear that it might go haywire with this version of itunes.
system specs:
2ghz Celeron
512mb of ram
windows xp home sp2
any help would be greatly appreciated

okay, for some advanced techniques for dealing with that error message, see:
iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting CD issues caused by device filters
with the blue screen, let's try getting a minidump to the Apple enginners for a look.
To set up your machine to capture a minidump, right click on "My Computer", select "Properties", select the "Advanced" tab, select the "Startup and Recovery" Settings button, select "small memory dump" from the popup. When it crashes, look for the MiniDump file. It's usually in the folder "C:\WINDOWS\Minidump" and is called something like Mini<number>-<number>.dmp.
collect the minidump, and send it to this email address
in the email, make sure that you include:
(1) the minidump file (as an attachment).
(2) a link to this thread
(3) a brief description of your problem, and the context you're getting it in.
(4) the username that you're using here in the discussion boards.

Where do I find them to put them back? Updating isn't helping....... H E L P!!!!

My Windows Registry is missing the following key: Software\Microsoft

Registry settings used by Itunes drivers not found

I just installed the latest version of itunes after having an old version previously installed. Every time I run Itunes now I receive an error message. It says something about registry settings missing that are used by itunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs. It suggests re installing itunes and uninstalling any other CD burning software. I have reinstalled itunes perhaps 6 times now and i have not installed any other CD burning software - ever - windows media player was always installed. I don't think WMP should be interferring though since it didn't before. I receive this error message everytime i run itunes. Also, this may be related, I cannot consolidate my library. Everytime i select the option nothing happens. itunes does not react whatsoever.

toonz here is what it says now, but like I said it is working fine now.

Registry Settings for Itunes drivers for Importing and burning CDs and DVDs

I have had this issue over and over again and re installed and uninstalled many times. Recently I upgraded to Windows 7 and for a very short time had no issues. I could burn CDS and back up and did not receive the error message on loading ITunes Setup Assistant "Warning The registry settings used by Itunes drivers for importing and burning cd's and dvd's are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other cd burning software. Pleae re install Itunes." Unfortunatley I then installed DVD Fab and this issued started again. I tried to restore my pc and uninstalled DVD fab and have no other burn software on my pc and still cant get working. I still get the same error when trying to burn a playlist "no disc recording found". Please advise what I need to do in lamen's terms. Much appreciated.

have you followed instructions also on question number 11 and 12? because u told me that you have printed and i guess it only showed the words. ok. leave itunes installed and follow the >Registry instructions< also when you get to number 11 and 12 instructions, drop them down and follow them. and also follow the rest till it tells you to restart.

When connecting to Itunes, it shows the following error: registry settings used by itunes drivers for importing and burning cds are missing. I have installed the gear drivers, uninstalled and installed itunes still showing same error. Anything else?

When connecting to Itunes, it shows the following error: registry settings used by itunes drivers for importing and burning cds are missing.
I have edited the registery, downloaded the Gear drivers, uninstalled and installed itunes, and the error still appears.
What else can I do. Cannot connect any of our iphones or ipods to itunes because of this error.

I have edited the registery,
We'd better have a closer look at the keys to see what's going on.
Can you post a screenshot of the contents of the key you've been editing, please? Include all of the regedit screen, including the left-hand column. Save the screenshot to an image file, and insert the image file in a reply by clicking the wee camera icon at the top of the reply window.

When I attempt to log on to I tunes I get the following message "The registry settings used by the I tunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software Please reinstall

When I attempt to log on to I tunes I get the following message:
"The registry settings used by the I Tunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.
This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please re-install I Tunes."
To my knowledge no new software has been installed. I have tried un-installing and re-installing I Tunes but I still
get the same message.
Can anyone offer any suggestions? Do I need to download a new driver?

I can get down as far as step 11 but it shows nothing about upper filters and when I type on "If the Upper Filters entry is missing follow these instructions" nothing happens
Do you mean you can't see the instructions on what to do if there is no UpperFilters entry?
If so, here's the relevant instructions for that step:
On the right side of the Registry Editor window, right-click the UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.
Right-click the empty white space within the right-hand portion of the Registry Editor window. From the shortcut menu, choose New > Multi-String Value.
Name this new value "UpperFilters" (without the quotes). Then, right-click the newly created UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.
