Disc burning software not found?

Trying to burn a cd, and it says that the disc burning software isn't found, but I recently burned a CD. How do I fix it?

I've been struggling through this problem with little help from Dell and NONE from Apple. I receive the same error message. I've updated drivers, bios, uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes, even bought an external usb cd/dvd drive. No success! Apple is pretty lame when it comes to fixing problems. I don't know why people are drinking the Apple cool-aid. Their software and support are no better or worse than in the Windows environment. Maybe worse. At least you hear back from other hw/sw companies.
I don't know what the fix is or when it will be fixed but iTunes 8 is crap.

Disc burner software not found (iTunes 10.1.2)

I am using iTunes 10 and have just started having problems in burning CDs within iTunes. I am trying to burn some podcasts on the CD (in audio CD format) and every time I try, I get an arror message that the disc burning software is not found.
Can anyone help in rectifying this?
On a different note, does anyone know how to mark a podcast as 'listened to' without listening to it via iTunes? When I burn a podcast to disc, it's not marked as listened to on iTunes and then after about 4 or 5 downloads, it suspends downloads as it thinks I'm not listening to them.
Thanks

This is interesting -- I have tried to burn the disc again and now iTunes is working fine.
I'd say that perhaps I just overworked the drive, but that seems like too easy a solution. I've been noticing some oddities with my video drive lately, so maybe it is related.
Either way, thank you for your help so far -- I hope it doesn't relapse!

When trying to burn a cd in itunes, why does it says cd burner software not found?

When trying to burn a cd, itunes says cd burner software not found.

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.)

Hello imuwa,
It sounds like you are trying to burn a CD using iTunes, but you are getting the error, "disc burner or software not found." I found a couple of resources that I think might help with an error like this.
I recommend starting with the steps in this article:
iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308
If you are still having trouble with burning a disc after following the steps in that article, I recommend following the steps in this article:

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1374
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Disc burner drive not found

When I try to burn a movie directly to a disc from iMovie, I get a message that says "No Disc Burning Drive Found. ... Please check your connections and try again." How do I do that? What might have caused the "disconnection"? I was able to burn discs before.

thanks, but rebooting/restarting, even zapping PRAM didn't help here. (+repairing permissions etc as mentioned above)
Still stuck
