Deleting I Tunes results in CD and DVD readers error (corrupted driver)

recently I deleted I Tunes from my computer; as a result, my CD and DVD readers were no more available(no more recognized by the operating system and have disappeared from the computer window); the error message was "corrupted driver, error code 39). I had to reinstall I Tunes to fix this bug.
Does someone know anything about this bug and how to fix it without being obliged to reinstall I Tunes ?
*I find absolutely abnormal that an official garanteed virus free sofware can corrupt my computer operating system.*

The issue may relate to the operating system pointing to the associated drivers, rather than reinstalling, try to locate the appropriate drivers and reinstall.

File name punctuation WILL cause MP3 and DVD burn errors – workaround?

OK, I’ve seen TONS of questions about problems burning MP3 format CDs and DVD. I’ve been having this problem for quite a while and today I just got ****** off enough to do some deep research. I seek to share my finding and suggestions for work arounds.
THE PROBLEM
iTunes can burn regular CDs since the song file name is not actually put on the CD. The CD or DVD burner work for burning audio discs and with other applications. All the burn preferences are set correctly and have been validated. But when you attempt to burn an MP3 CD or DVD (for backup, transfer or for player that play MP3 discs), iTunes may do the following:
Checking media (iTunes will ask: “You have inserted a DVD. Are you sure you want to create a Data DVD? answer yes, it’s a blank DVD disc in a working DVD burner)
Checking playlist
Burning disc… initializing
"The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (xxxx).”
THE CAUSE
Many times the error is due to song, album or artist names with unacceptable punctuation in them. iTunes does not tell you why and the error message and Google searches and Apple support/discussion forum details are sketchy… but in most cases its “illegal” punctuation in the song name, artist or album. I isolated at lest the apostrophe ‘ there are probably other illegal name punctuations too.
The cause my be explained by Apple following ISO or Joliet file name specifications or file name length specifications for CD or DVD discs. But since this appears to be undocumented (to the iTunes user) there is a need to understand the restrictions to allow error free disc burning.
THE CHALLENGE
Even if the playlist name does not have punctuation, if ANY playlist song name/artist/album does, the DVD burn will fail. Removing the offending songs from the playlists results in a successful burn but hey, I WANT those other songs too!
POSSIBLE WORK AROUNDS
Changing actual song file name – even if you change the name in iTunes (Get Info, Info, change name, artist, album) the actual song file names are not updated and continue to have the punctuation error resulting in a burn failure.
It appears that the actual file name needs to be changed. This can be a challenge. If you change only the file name you need to add modified file back into iTunes and the old file link is now broken. This is a bigger problem if that song file is in multiple playlists (the old ones are broken and the new one needs to be substituted). This is a REAL problem if you have 2,800 songs with an ‘ in them (like I do).
LETS WORK TOGETHER AND SHARE RESULTS
I’ve seen many, many unanswered questions about iTunes CD and DVD burning problems that will likely be solved if we can collectively develop and document a workaround. So, here is
THE QUESTION
What is the best way to rename (or retag) MP3 song files to eliminate punctuation and update iTunes and playlists so these songs can be burned to CD or DVD without violating the undocumented illegal punctuation restriction? The work around may differ for OS X vs Windows users so help on both would be appreciated.
Thank you all in advance for your help!

been searching myself to create my own cdg for use in universal karaoke players. Kjams appears to offer the most hope for all I want to do. although there's something new now called Aria which promises to do a bunch of stuff for 79 $. Otherwise, all that I want to do as listed by the original poster, would cost me Kjams lite, plus the burn plug in is extra, plus I'd need the kjams producer as I would be building a cdg by adding the synced lyrics to something I've removed the vocal from, on Audacity program. if I go with Kjams, those 3 softwares, it will cost me 150, while I'm so jealous all those PC karaoke singers have free software for karaoke they can download.
I've been buying my cdg discs at 1.99 a pop, but they don't have special songs I want to perform. Aria for Mac might just do it all but I don't need the "scratch" sound they are pushing. that makes me steer away from the software.
experimenting with the Imac 10.6 idvd movie quicktime might work. I made a few cdg but have not tried them in the club karaoke machine yet. I added the lyrics to tuneprompter which is a free software that lets you add and sync the lyrics to the music with the spacebar. thats fun. but it's all in experimental thing so far. I know Kjams does not let you add lyrics and sync them yourself. you are supposed to import cdg to kjams that are already available and pay for them. in this case I want to find my own special tunes. good luck to you. there's one other thing but it's expensive. buying software which turns your mac into a windows platform by partiioning it and you start up in one or the other. that's also about 100-150 software.

Upgrade BIOS and drivers have possibly corrupted drive. OS will not boot.

Model: Toshiba P505-8980
Part Number: P6PG0U-005002
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (upgraded from Home Premium)
6 gig RAM, 500gig HD
Actions:
I haven't started up my computer in a while. First I installed the critical and optional updates (3 total) from windows update, rebooted, and Toshiba Service Center popped up and said that there was the BIOS 3.10 update and the HDD/SSD Alert update. Through the Service Center I downloaded and installed the BIOS update, at the end it seemed as if there was an error. I rebooted the computer and everything seemed ok, so I downloaded the HDD/SSD update through the Service Center. Upon rebooting the drive would not boot. (Screen remained blank with a blinking cursor and HDD light was not on.) There are no accessories/USB devices/drives attached. After a reboot I checked the BIOS and it recognizes the Hard drive, I restored all settings in BIOS to default and rebooted. The computer started receiving stop errors (blue screen) and stuck in a reboot loop. I entered the BIOS, restored default settings again and rebooted, I could get to safe mode and it would receive stop errors trying to load disk.sys file. I also tried last known good configuration and that wouldn't work either. After a while the laptop was able for me to select to try and repair the disk using the repair utility. It reported that there may be partition errors (on the last step of recovery) and I selected to repartition the drive to factory default with the Toshiba repair tools. It got to about 98-99% and received errors at the end. I tried using a Windows disk to reinstall the OS, but it reported it couldn't install on any of the drive partitions because of an error in the boot configurations. After trying to repair again it doesn't report any disks or partitions. Currently after booting it reports now that there is an error that occurred while attempting to read boot configuration. File: \Boot\BCD|Status: 0xc000000f. Guessing that the boot sector got corrupted. After reading that BIOS isn't recommended to be installed while in windows, I'm wondering if using the service center messed something up.
Question 1: Any recommended actions to take now? No recovery disk available
Question 2: Is there a way to configure the service center to download a BIOS update and be able to save it instead of only being able to install it within windows and the service center?
Thanks in Advance!

I was able to get into system recovery. This system recovery was different then the first one I came across. Underneath the Command Prompt option there was a selection for a Toshiba based restore. That is the one I tried that failed at 98-99% This system recovery just has the standard options. At first it showed me the original OS of Home Premium (recovered). I tried to repair the Home Premium and it still wouldn't work. "Startup could not repair the problem". On the many tries the probelms were either "Failed Installation" or "Partition Table". Then when I tried loading the OS it would blue screen and reboot repeatedly. So I loaded up Windows 7 Professional from a different CD to at least get the OS working. I tried Repairing but that didn't work with the same errors, and it also reported that there was no system image on the disk. I did a Custom (fresh) install and had all items copied to Windows.Old folder. So now I have an OS, BUT I can't activate it now even with the keys that I have from the old version because it said the key was only used for upgrade, not clean installs. So now I'm left with trying to find a way to get the original Home Premium image so I can load that and then upgrade since I have the keys I need. I tried doing repairs again, this time it showed me two Windows 7 Professional and one Windows 7 Home Premium. Again I tried repairing the Home Premium but it came back with the same errors. Now all that remains is just the fresh install of Windows 7 Professional that I installed but can't activate with the key. Anyway I can get/download a factory image from Toshiba? I only just bought the laptop shortly before Christmas.

HT1926 I was loading an update to my i-Tunes for my computer and got an error message and now I can not open my computer itunes and may have lost all the content. What do I do?

I got a request from apple to update my itunes and while uploading the update, the program gave an error message and now I can not open my itunes and fear that all my music etc is gone? what do I do to correct this problem?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Trying to delete a routing task list (N) and getting an error on CA98

Getting an error when trying to delete a task list routing without archiving using t-code CA98.
Error: "Task list 01184667 01 (type 01184667) is still used in inspection lots"
The inspection lot is for a production order. The routing I am trying to delete was used in that production order.
I found the inspection lot and there is a UD of accept on it but I cannot delete the task list routing.
If I archived the task list routing for the material and tried to delete the task list routing would I still get the same error as above?
Tom

You can use CA98 only for test data which you no longer intend to use or refer to. I don't think even CA99(with archiving) can help here. Please check the dependencies for deletion of routings: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/7e/d41b73455911d189400000e8323c4f/content.htm]

Satelitte L350 - DVD Recovery error "invalid drive"

Hi all,
I'm trying to restore my system with the 2 DVD recovery system (made with the utility).
All goes right until it fails at this point :
Copy Recovery Base files
The volume your selected is not valid or does not exist.
There is no volume selected.
HTMPREP ...
Invalid drive specification
ERROR : Copying of Recovery Base files failed !
Any help please ? So far i can't do anything everything has been erased ....
Thanks.

Hi tunker80,
I would also try formatting the HDD before you start with recovery installation. You can use a normal Microsoft Windows disk to format your HDD. After this you can test recovery installation.
If the same happens you could try installing Windows from Microsoft disk. So you can test if the problem is related to hardware or just recovery disk. If recovery disk is defective you can order a new from Toshiba directly. Therefore follow the link posted by MisterX.

Hi Vamsi,
If you want to Code the syntax then this might help you

* loeschkey contains Pernr and the sequence number of the Payroll Result.
* This statement can be used with a loop to delete the result if multipal records
* have to be deleted.

"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

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.

When starting iTunes I continually get an error message " The registry Settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.

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.)

I cannot load I Tunes or delete it as the download stops and says the folder path "program files"contains an invalid character, what can I do?

I cannot load or delete I Tunes from my computer. What comes up is- The folder path "program files" contain an invalid character?

That's normally produced by a damaged iTunes.msi. The basic treatment for it is given in the following user tip:
["not a valid short file name" and "invalid character" install errors|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2368028]
... but since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Downloads Center, things have grown more difficult. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now start with *step 4* from the user tip, and proceed from there.
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)
