  • 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.

  • New DVD Drive not recognized by Itunes? Error 2550

    Hey all,
    So i go to burn a cd and i get the Disk Burner or Software not found error message. I start doing a little research and I find out that maybe my new optical drive I just bought isn't supported and it tells me to check this i need to go to Edit>Preferences>Advanced in the Itunes window and if my DVD drive is not supported it won't have anything in the DVD section of that. Well there is a DVD drive listed but its my old one, anyone know if I can somehow force itunes to recognize that i have a new Drive? I mean its a new sony drive, i imagine it should be supported.

    Hi sisujoel,
    Give Patchburn a try.

    (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

    Hope the information is usefull for all.

  • DVD drive gone

    So everything has been working fine with my computer for years. Then all of a sudden, I pop in a DVD, it doesn't come up. I restart, nothing. Lookin the system profiler, I don't even have a DVD drive anymore apparently. Zapped the PRAM, nothing, repaired permissions, nothing.
    Any ideas?

  • CD/DVD drive won't load disks...is it dead?

    The HL-DT-ST DVDRW  GA11N drive had always worked with no problem. There was a CD I left in it (without playing) for a couple of months, and when I tried to eject it, the drive kept trying but it would not eject - - a tiny bit of the edge would peek out momentarily, but then it would get sucked right back in, after which the drive would spin up and the disc would reappear in the Finder. After repeated attempts to eject it (including using Finder, iTunes, and Terminal, and restarting the iMac), I was finally able to grab hold of the tiny bit that showed on one eject attempt and forcibly pull it out. That may have been a mistake.
    Now, attempting to insert another disk results in absolutely no reaction. It will not trigger whatever is supposed to sense a disc is trying to be inserted. Is the drive dead? Am I pretty much screwed and left with no choice but to hook up an external drive or take my iMac to the Apple Store (where it is out of warranty, of course). I cannot find any way to test or check the status of the disc drive in the built-in disc diagnostics.

    I don't really see how that could be the problem -- a) because it was the latest TurboTax disc I was trying to load, which should be compatible with everything, and b) how could the drive possibly know what kind of disc it is if trying to insert the disc doesn't even activate the loading process?
    The disc that wouldn't come out was somebody's privately made audio CD, so yes, that could have been a problem (though it didn't have a paper label). But the problem now is that no matter what disc I attempt to insert, I push it in to the point where it meets resistance and nothing at all happens.

  • Mac Pro DVD drive won't load some software discs

    I just bought two sets of Photoshop Elements, and my 2007 Mac Pro failed to recognize all six DVDs. I'm realizing I've had this problem with a few software discs in recent years, including some Final Cut Studio install discs. CDs and regular DVDs work fine - just some software DVDs are eventually ejected by the computer without showing up on the desktop. I have tried cleaning the drive with a disc cleaner.
    My way around it has been to put these discs in my PC, make a copy, and then these copies load fine in my Mac. But it's a nuisance, and my PC won't be around forever.
    Can anyone suggest what the problem might be? Or a decent external drive (Blu-ray?) that I might want to replace it with?
    Thanks.

    I'll try that tomorrow. Thinking it could also be:
    1)  The PRAMM battery. found info on that they can wear out close to 5 years. This MAC PRO is close to that now.  And I use a lot of power on it.
    2) MAC PRO is plugged into a  SURGE PROTECTOR, instead of right into the wall outlet.
    3) Been doing a lot of FORCE QUITS and HARD BOOT -- unplugging it directly when it wouldn't shut down soon enough --  lately this past year.
    I just assumed that this MAC PRO with the XEON QUAD CORE etc., was a heavy duty enough NLE,
    that i wouldn't have these problems. It's not fully loaded with all the chips it can carry...and I don't have near enough external terabyte hard drives for storing video and audio files to edit. I've been storing wayyy too much
    on the internal hard dives and just have to stop that.
    I noticed these past few days that much of the LETTERING for hard drive icons and folders' titles
    were starting to look in OVERLAPPING of the lettering. That was my first hint that  something was up.

  • ITunes library on external drive won't load, iTunes says disk is full and only partial library loads. What is it doing, making another copy?

    I have an archive of all my music on an external drive. I wanter to play the music on another computer. When I hooked up the drive and launched iTunes with option key, I linked up the library on the external. iTunes gets part way through linking then says can't load the rest as the disk is full. What disk? What is iTunes doing that it needs more hard drive space for files that already exist? Why can't iTunes just see the files on the external and play them without this seeming dupe process?

    Tried hooking up my external drive to my Mini. This morning my Mini had all my info listed, but I couldn't play any songs, for obvious reasons. Now, my Mini is hooked up to the external, iTunes prefs are set on the path to the external - but there is no music in iTunes. No lists, no songs, nada. Just a virgin iTunes window. ***?

  • CD/DVD Drive disappears after installing itunes and quicktime HELP!

    When I have installed itunes and quicktime my cd/dvd player drive disappears?? Has anyone had this problem??

    I have had exactly the same problem with my Toshiba Laptop running Vista Home Premium for 5 months. I have continually tried updating and checking this site for a fix, but haven't had a clue. My Son-in-law works for Microsoft and uses iTunes extensively and he can't figure it out either. Toshiba has no answers.
    I am beginning to believe that Gates has scored one-up on Jobs by planting something in Vista that crashes the drive when you try to use Apple software.

  • Error Message...Invalid Drive E when loading ITunes

    I have tried to download ITunes for 3 days straight, I keep getting an error message that I have an invalid Drive E. I have done disk clean up, defrag, cleaned out cookies and temp files, what else can I do? Does anyone else get this message? I am dying to use my new phone but I can not unlock or register it.

    Bissley,
    I have received this error in the past and it is usually caused by Windows automatically changing your external drive letters when you install. There are two ways around it; first, follow the directions provided by b noir. Second, within iTunes go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced
    Under the advanced options you'll see a recessed section called "iTunes Media folder location". Although you may have set this in the past it, if Windows changed your drive letters it will no longer be valid. Default is usually "C:\blah\blah\mymusic"
    Changing it just a matter of clicking "change" and finding your music folder again or change your drive letter back (if it changed at all).
    If Windows is changing your drive letters, it is best to set them yourself so that everytime you plug in the devices they use the letter you assigned. Here is a link for that process:

    Hope it helps.

  • 15" C2D DVD Drive loud on load/eject?

    Is this normal? It makes quite the clicking noise loading and loading discs
    I have some OEM make I don;t recognize HL-DT-whatever...
    I seem to recall one model of the first Ti-PB series being like this too....drive was like 'clunk-click, every trip'

    this info may be of use...
    i had my drive checked out today at the genius bar, bluewater, previous to seeing this thread.
    i too was concerned about how noisy the drive was compared to my old 12" powerbook and the genius guy agreed it was definitely noisier than some of the other C2D MBP's in the store. [had a few extra 'clunks'].
    anyway, he has ordered a new drive and it is being replaced next week.
    the drive is a HL-DT-ST DVDRW GWA4080MA and the MBP is a week old [custom build order placed about 3-4 weeks ago].
    the drive also seems incredibly slow when copying data off it? and the fans are also being checked as when they kick in are incredibly 'buzzy'. sound familiar?

  • Windows Vista Home + iTunes = no DVD drives

    I am a long time iTunes user, and have been having an issue with iTunes for the last little while. When I install iTunes (I'm on Windows Vista 32 bit, by the way), after the required restart, my DVD drives' icons disappear (I have 2 of them). I can see the DVD drives in the Device Manager, and they say they cannot start. The only I think I've had these problems since about iTunes 7.0, but I don't burn CDs that often, so I've really not felt too bad about it, except that my wife would like to do so. I've done the registry change where you remove the upper and lower filters, which corrects the drive issue, but then presents the seemingly inevitable Registry issue dialog box, without the option to burn CDs. Here are the steps I've done thus far to try to get my computer and iTunes to play nicely:
    1. Tried reenabling the UpperFilter for GearAspiWDM as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305422
    2. Tried downloading new GEAR drivers from their website.
    3. Tried uninstalling Quicktime, and then installing it separately.
    4. Uninstalled my other music service software (SonicStage), and then reinstalling iTunes.
    5. Completely uninstalled iTunes, and then reinstalled it (a couple of iTunes versions ago).
    6. Tried uninstalling the non-functioning DVD drives in the device manager, and then scanning for hardware changes. When the UpperFilter was still present, this part failed. It passed after I removed the UpperFilter registry entry.
    Please help!

  • ITunes causes DVD drive to fail in Toshiba Satellite laptops

    This seemed unlikely to me and I was wondering if anyone had any similar experiences and/or suggestions.
    This morning I discovered that the DVD drive on my Toshiba Satellite laptop wasn't working - Device manager said it Failed to Start (code 10). I called Toshiba and they asked what was the last thing I'd done on the PC. When I said, "Updating iTunes," they said that was the problem, due to an interaction between iTunes and Toshiba Satellite laptops.
    Sure enough, uninstalling iTunes fixed the DVD drive.
    So now I have to install / uninstall iTunes every time I want to update my iPod

    Another thing to check on is a device filter conflict:
    iTunes for Windows Vista: Troubleshooting CD issues caused by device filters
    (One of the applications I' seen conflict in this way with iTunes on a Vista system is HP memories Disc Creator Software, which comes bundled with some HP digital cameras.)
    ... however, if you're still getting no CD/DVD drive with just the iTunes filters in place, you may be one of the unlucky ones who are getting the issue discussed here:
    Optical drives not recognized in Windows Vista after installing iTunes 7
    Although it wouldn't necessarily be a short-term thing, keep an eye on that document for updated information about the issue.
    In the short term, one workaround might be to use a different application to rip the CDs, and then use the "Add to library" function to get the ripped files into your iTunes. (That way you wouldn't have to continually uninstall/install iTunes.) The following document might be of some help with that:
    iTunes: About the Add to Library, Import, and Convert functions
    EDIT: sorry Jason, didn't notice you'd already replied here. Didn't mean to butt in.
