DVD Drive gone after itunes update

I can no longer access my DVD drive. Windows Vista Home Premium. Sony DVD drive. iTunes 7.5 . If I uninstall iTunes my system can recognize my DVD drive, but when I install iTunes my dvd drive is gone from the system, can't be recognized by itunes or windows. I've tried previous version so iTunes 7 but none seem to work. Any advice?

Thanks. I followed the instructions and removed both UpperFilters and LowerFilters registry entries, rebooted and my DVD drive could then be recognized by Vista. But..... when I started iTunes I received the error:
"The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burnging CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
So... since I was on a previous version I installed the latest, 7.5... and iTunes could then see the DVD drive, but when I rebooted, Vista could no longer see the DVD drive. iTunes re-installed the registry entry : UpperFilters, REGMULTISZ, GEARAspiWDM (does not put in the LowerFilters) so as it stands now, I have a registry file on my desktop that I have to run, to put back the GEARAspiWDM entry whenever I want to use iTunes, then remove it and reboot to use it in Vista - does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it without a workaround? Thanks.

ocavid
PS: Prior to updating the bios i can still work with the DVD drive but after I applied the update and the system rebooted, my DVD drive is gone.

I have successed to find again my CD/DVD drive both in BIOS and Windows 7 by doing the following:
(1). Press F2 at "Lenovo" start up display to enter BIOS
(2). Go to "Main" (the place showing also Harddisk Drive) and enter F9 for Set Default.
(3). Go to "Boot" and enter F9 for Set Default
(4). Exit with save.
Hope the information is usefull for all.

Links to songs lost after iTunes updates

Hi everyone,
I seem to have to have two recurring problems with iTunes.
1. After iTunes updates, I seem to lose the link to numerous songs. When I click on them, I get the little exclamation mark and a window asking if I want to locate the song manually in the library. This time around, I've got over 1500 songs in this boat. I can't locate them all manually. Each time I find one, it asks if I want iTunes to look for others. I click OK, but then it says it can't find any more.
2. I have a lot of duplicate songs. The software seems to duplicate them itself. One of the versions will have the little exclamation mark beside it, the other will work. Is there a way to bulk clean this up? It is a rather lengthy process otherwise.
Is anyone else having these types of problems?
Thanks

Can't answer your issue because I don't use itunes to organize my music(MP3). I use the Finder. I do move my MP3 files to my 5 Macs and get the job done in a few minutes with never a problem.
I rip music, then pick my favorite songs. I delete the track number(working with a copy of the original MP3) and place my 2,160 MP3 files into a folder of my choice name. I leave my other "untouched" original MP3 in an archive on either a firewire drive or another sata internal drive for safe keeping.
Now I have a folder called whatever containing many folders such as rock, metal, jazz, etc...inside those folder of course would be organized by artist folder, album folder then the music.
When I re-do my Macs I just copy my favorites folder over to it. Launch itunes then add to the library(just select the top folder and it adds everything inside). I did id3 tag my favorites originally and also used GROUPING to then have a way to sort all the songs instantly, select all and choose the equalizer. I name my playlist the same name as GROUPING name to make it simple to transfer my favorite into each playlist.
Lots of typing here but infinitely easier to work with my huge collection of MP3 files.

After iTunes update, iTunes.exe System Error - msvcr80.dll missing & icudt49.dll missing.

After iTunes update, iTunes.exe System Error - msvcr80.dll missing. Followed the support suggestion & uninstalled then re-installed iTunes 5 times & still no good so followed Apples advice & uninstalled again then went into programme files & manually deleted the files re-installed again & now getting iTunes.exe System Error - icudt49.dll missing. I give up, anyone out there help ?

I've just (finally) managed to fix this problem today. I checked the Apple Support forums, and it seems a lot of people are having the same problem.
I rang the Apple Support line, and the very helpful man (thanks Alan!) talked me through it stage by stage. If you go to the following page on the internet:http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376 it takes you through the process. WARNING - it takes a little time! The main purpose of this is to remove any trace of the old version of iTunes from your computer...
Basically, the first thing you have to do is go to your Program Files and double click on your iTunes folder. There'll be a number of files with the suffix .dll - you need to move all the .dll files from that folder to your desktop - you can simply click and drag them on the desktop..
Next, uninstall iTunes - go to Control Panel / Add/Rempve Programs and when the list comes up remove iTunes. This will take a few minutes... Then reboot your computer.
Next, go back to Control Panel / Add Remove and Remove - IN THIS ORDER -
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot again!
Next, check in your Program Files that the iTunes folder is completely gone - if it has, great: if it hasn't, right-click on the folder and press Shift and Delete - it will say "Are you sure you want to completely remove the folder "iTunes"? Click on "Yes".
Reboot!
Then go to the iTunes download page and voila! It should download iTunes without any problems... well it did for me.... Good luck!

I am having exactly the same problem with my iPod Touch after updating iTunes. I purchased a new album earlier and when I go to 'On this iPod' the entire album is greyed out and there are dotted circles next to each song. Has anyone got a solution to this?

I keep getting a msvcr80.dll error after iTunes update failed?

I keep getting a msvcr80.dll error after iTunes update failed?

Seems the base of the problem is the update installation does not change the libraries but the software wants to see them changed. So the user has to go clear out all software that shares the libraries and then install the full version so they are rebuilt properly.

DVD Drive BAD - after 10.4.6. & Firmware Updates

After installing 10.4.6, then doing the Firmware Update 1.0 for the MacBook Pro I now have an extremely slow DVD drive.
I'm simply putting in CD/DVDs (Adobe, Macromedia, my own, anything...) and they takes ages to mount (3-4 minutes) or do not mount at all with the error saying the discs are unreadable by this system.
Everything was fine before, as I was installing applications fine...

Hi!
Good for you! Great.
Didn't work for me. My Superdrive doesn't read original CD-ROMS. No problems with DVDs and CD-R.
Since I migrated directly from my Intel iMac I didn't use any original CD since I reveived my MacBook Pro in February. Hope they'll send me an exchange. I can't send in the machine for days and/or weeks.
hmpf
Some kind of upset.
Greetings

DVD Drive disappeared after installing Boot Camp on Windows 8

I am running Mountain Lion and I bootcamped Windows 8... this is a fresh install.
1. I installed Windows 8 and the DVD is still working
2. I installed Bootcamp software via DVD and was asked to reboot
3. I reboot my iMac
4. Now, my friggin DVD doesnt work anymore...
5. I look at My Computer and it's gone.
6. I look at the device manager and it's not there
7. I showed hidden devices and the hl-dt-st dvdrw ga32 is there (disabled of course)
8. i am writing to apple community after a night of searching for a solution in vain.
please help me. i really need my DVD drive
thanks in advance

thanks for the response
1. Yeah I thought that's a mandatory thing because i need to be able to control the brightness with my keyboard, updated graphics card, boot camp control panel, etc
2. No there's no enable for this because Windows 8 recognizes it as a "disconnected device" and asks me to reconnect the dvd drive to the machine (which it obviously already is).
3. Ive tried those before, also even editing the registry but it didnt work.
It's weird because it never happened before on Snow Leopard » Lion bootcamp driver updates. Just in Mountain Lion

Ipod nano 7th g is not rcognised by computer after itunes update

My ipod nano 7th generation is no longer recognised by my computer after the latest itunes update. Newest software is on my windows 8 computer... Any ideas?

Hello, Arndt262.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below. Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.
