Disc not recognized in Library - Vista?

I have windows Vista and am trying to download new songs but iTunes doesn't recognize that I even have inserted a disc. Then working on something else I insert a disc for another reason and now my computer doesn't even recognize that I have a disc drive. My father had the same problem and he thinks it was caused when he downloaded iTunes onto his computer. Has anyone run into this problem? If so, have you found a way to load iTunes with Vista and not lose your disc drive?

You inserted a CD into your computer and Itunes isn't recognizing it?
If that is the case then you probably have the same problem as me. When I ran the diagnostic it showed I had no audible CD in either. I have vista too, but I have a 64 bit so I needed to download that one not the vista. If that is what you have then just download the 64 bit and everything will work perfectly!

Aperture 2.1.4 not recognizing my library

I have Aperture 2.1.4 and yesterday as I was importing photos, I got an error saying I needed to rebuild my library. So I go to do that, and get a permissions error (even though when I checked the details on the library it showed that I have read and write permissions, like usual). Now it's not recognizing my library. I've checked the preferences and the library is in the Pictures folder like it should be, and that library is selected, and even when I open the application from the library itself, it doesn't load it. I've checked the package contents on the library and all of the folders are still there, so what's the problem here, and is there any way to fix it?
Many thanks.

I case you did not see my update this is the error
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager
Referenced from: /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/MacOS/Aperture
Reason: image not found
I checked and all the files seem to be in place and are current 2.1.4

DVD / Disc not recognized Equium A100

I've recently purchased an Equium Laptop with Vista installed. On my old pc (WXP) I backed up a lot of photos and files onto a DVD disc using nero, when I try to load these onto my laptop the disc is not recognized.
I have many files on other DVDs these are also not recognised, I wish to transfer these files onto my laptop. Can anybody help out with this?
Thanks in Advance

Hi
As you probably not known, not every CD or DVD is compatible with every drive.
This means that sometimes the medium cannot be recognized and the drive cannot read or write on CD or DVD.
In my knowledge in the user manual you should find a list of compatible CD and DVD.
PS: I use the TDK CDs and TDK DVDs. Im very satisfied

Iphone 4 is not recognized by Windows Vista

everyting was working great! iTunes recognoized the phone, synching was fine then...
the iphone is not recognized by Vista, no drivers are present in Device manager and the iphone does not even USB charge when plugged in to the PC.
I've reistalled iTunes but the drivers still do not show up.
I've tried to find the drivers on the Apple site but cannot find them.
Help!

I have had the same problem two times with two different iphones (3gs and 4). After spending more than 1 hour on the phone with apple support, the only thing that worked was using windows xp on another computer to update ios. The funny thing is that when updating to 4.1 I again used Vista and it worked. I suspect it is a firewall problem but don't know how to solve. If you update using xp you can go back and return all your apps, photos, etc from Vista, just make sure you backup before using xp.

External hard disc not recognized

I have been using a WD external hard disc with Time Machine. Today I had it plugged into a USB powered hub when the house electrical power briefly went off then on, twice. A message appeared stating that device was removed incorrectly (or words to that effect). Now the HD does not appear on the desktop. It is recognized in "about this computer" as a USB device. It is not recognized in disc utility and thus can not be mounted.
All suggestions appreciated.

Answered my own question. Working now. Connected directly to computer USB and ignored it for a couple of hours and now it is visible on the desktop and appears to be working.

CS5 -- Acrobat 9 Pro disc not recognized

PC, running Windows 7. I just installed CS5 Design Premium from the DVD and all seems to be well. Then I inserted the Acrobat 9 Pro disc. The drive spins for awhile, then I get a prompt to insert a disc (which is already inserted). Same thing happens when I insert the Content disc. Both discs are recognized on other PCs, and every other disc I have -- including the CS5 DP disc of course -- works fine in the same drive.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks, John

I hit the same problem except I had a Reader X installed not a pro version. For me the solution was to really make sure that nothing else was running. I followed the steps from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651#reso2 the link is goofy so here is the pertinent text:

Dvd viewer disc not recognized

I insterted a disc into the drive to view a sunday school video. DVD player (apple icon)
put out a message that there was not a recognized disc (paraphrasing).
I tried to eject the disc but macbook pro won't eject the disc.
should I look for another app to locate & eject the disc?
This macbook is a year old with no previous problems with the disc drive.
Oh, all my softward gets updated regularly but I had some problems with Maverick
trying to update several times. I don't believe I have a hd screen, and Maverick
is having a problem with this.
Suggestions about how to eject the disc? Thanks

Hey there MrsGart,
It sounds like your disk will not eject from the drive, and is causing an error about the disc not being a recognized format. If there is no DVD icon on the desktop to drag to the trash, I would try this step from the article named:
If you can't eject a CD or DVD or open the drive tray
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2097
If that doesn't work, restart the computer, then hold down the mouse button or trackpad button while the computer is starting up, until the disc is ejected.
To restart, choose Restart from the Apple menu.
If you are unable to remove the disc from the drive please contact Apple, contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store for additional troubleshooting, evaluation, or service.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Windows 7 Beta installation issue- Disc not recognized??

Hello everyone, im trying to install windows 7 beta 1 x64 in boot camp.
I downloaded the beta ISO from Microsoft and checked the SHA1 checksums to make sure they're ok.
The disc burned fine in Disk utility
I get this error
"The installer disc could not be found.
Insert your Windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for the disc to be recognized."
Its in the drive :S
Not sure if it matters, Im burning to a DVD+R, brand new. To eject it, it keeps attempting to get read, I had to run drutil tray open. Then it said I had a blank cd inserted, and asked what I wanted to do, I chose eject. The CD is readable on a windows machine fine.
The drive is fine as well, other discs work. I dont get it. The SHA1 checksums were fine, the disc burned fine in disk utility, whats wrong? is it possible that I have to rename the file to the names that Nermal was using? I shouldnt think so...
Anyone have any ideas?

SHA1-e09fdbc1cb3a92cf6cc872040fdaf65553ab62a5
^^The one Im trying to use. 64bit
and
7000.0.081212-1400client_en-us_Ultimate-GB1CULFRE_ENDVD.ISO 32bit
SHA1 = 6071184282b2156ff61cdc5260545c078cca31e
^^tried this also, burned in diskutility, same error.
The DVD's are bootable on other windows computers. Not a burning issue.
I can use my Win XP SP2 Home 32bit edition fine.
I was able to boot off my Mac OS X Dvd, so its not a read issue. Its something with the specific file or disc. I have no idea what to try next. Neither the 32bit or 64bit is even read by my computer. The more I think about it the more Im thinking its the disc itself, possibly an issue with the super drive and DVD+R? Or my Fujifilm DVD+R's? The discs sped?(up to 16x) I mean the discs are read by other computers, my computer reads like all other discs fine except this one, ***?
Thanks for any and all support.

Here's an idea for people wanting to test Windows 7 -
Setup a VM with Sun's VirtualBox. It doesn't have a pre-configured Windows 7 profile so I used Windows 2008 64-bit.
Setup a 40GB dynamic disk, allocate memory, no need to burn DVD, it can install from the ISO.
I'm running this under Vista but should work fine in OS X version of Sun as well. If you want to try running VB with Windows 7 from XP and low on disk space, set aside an external drive with NTFS.

Ipod not recognized my Windows vista or itunes

I have an older click wheel ipod (2004) and I recently got a new computer with vista. Since then I have not been able to sync my ipod because it does not register as being connected. All of the songs I had on it worked just fine through the head phones and the dock, and so in my desperation (following the 5 Rs) I tried to restore it. I synced my ipod with a mac and it restored just fine, then I synced it with my pc and it actually recognized it?!! I went through the restore, and that worked, but I could not transfer songs to it. I just went from having a mostly working ipod, to one that seems to work with no songs on it. Arrgh. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Do either of these help?
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes for Windows
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
Is the software up to date?
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
Also, if you have a 4G iPod, why post in the iPod nano forums?

Ipod not recognized in windows vista nor in itunes

İ need help. İ have tried the 5 r's. Since neither my computer nor itunes will recognize my ipod*, İ can not complete the restore. İ have downloaded the update from vista, still to no avail. İ don't know what else to do. since one definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting the same results, after hours of going through all the steps again and agian, this **** ipod is driving me insane.
* İ have had two brief periods when itunes did recognize my ipod unexpectedly. on those two occasions, it began the sync, but got stuck on a couple of music files and then would not complete the sync, leaving only two songs on my ipod to listen to. İ tried deleting those files it seemed to get stuck on, but then, it(itunes nor my computer) has never recognized my ipod since.

I have a suggestion on that, Cindy.
I've had a couple of friends that own a Gateway. And they've experienced the same problem, hence the fact(I Think) because the drivers for the USB that are installed with Vista are outdated,
but I don't think thats the case since the Gateway has all of its devices (USB ports) running correctly.
My next thought would be to do what I did:
A few months back I realized I cannot have my Ipod and any External HDD Connected simultaniously, since it seems that there are confilcts if I connected them together.
In other words, try temporarly copying your Music folder into your PC( if you have a good amount of space, then try going to Itunes>Edit>Preferences>Advanced
NOTE: if you have space, you can directly copy you music into the folder that Itunes is told to retrieve the songs from.
THere you'll see that itunes has a preset or default Itunes Music Folder location, Set it to the folder that you copied(if you were able to) which contains the music.
NOTE: if you have space, you can directly copy you music into the folder that Itunes is told to retrieve the songs from.
Hope this Helps!!

I have three older Creative Zen mp3 players, a Vision M, a Sleek Photo and an Xtra. The computer has Windows Vista Basic. All thre players were working perfectly three or four weeks ago.. As of a few days ago. the computer is no longer recognizing? all three players. I tried system restore but but system restore is not working.
