DVD READER STOP WORKING AFTER ITUNES IS INSTALLED

FINNALLY GOT ITUNES AND QUICKTIME TO WORK BUT NOW MY COMPUTER WON'T RECONIZE MY DVD BURNER. IT DOES RECONIZE A USB EXTEROR BURNER. IF I UNINSTALL ITUNES AND QUICK TIME MY INTERNAL BURNER WORKS. PLEASE HELP

After reading this it looks like you can either use your optical drive in iTunes but not for anything else or if your change the Registry as the document implies you can use your drive on your computer but can't burn in iTunes. Hardly seems like a fix to me. Am I missing something here?

  • CD/DVD Reader Stopped Working After Yosemite Upgrade

    My partner and I both have Mac Mini's (late 2012) versions.  They came loaded with Mavericks.  He recently upgraded to Yosemite and I did not.  I have heard there are "Wi-Fi" issues and "don't want to fix something that ain't broke"!!  He connects directly to our ATC, so he doesn't need to be concerned about those issues, however; he came home from getting an Xray yesterday and wanted to copy the CD they gave him.  He's never done that before, so I said: "Sure, give me a blank and I'll burn a copy for you.  Loaded up the Xray CD on his Mac and it started to read then just quit.  The drive did not show up in the sidebar of Finder, like it does in Mavericks.....OK, so let me take the disc into my office and see if I can read.  No problems, the disc loaded right up.  I copied the files into my "Burn Folder"; loaded up the blank and burned all the files to it; just like it's supposed to.  This morning I thought maybe his drive might be bad.  We both have the same external USB 3.0 CD/DVD burners.  Brought the drive and his cable into my office, plugged it in and it took off working like it was supposed to.  So that eliminates the drive and cable.  Took it back into his office and plugged it into a "known" good port on his machine, same thing, no work and had to eject the disc with a paper clip in the eject hole.  Although his machine seems to address the drive (it will start and spin the disc), nothing shows up in his sidebar or desktop.  Help...What's the problem???

    This might help. If you haven't done so yet, try installing Apple's SuperDrive Firmware Update 3.0, which is on Apple's support site at http://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201953 to see if that resolves it. Although it's not specifically for that problem, the firmware update seems to be important for making external SuperDrives work in Yosemite, and it is one step I used to get my SuperDrive to work in a USB external case when plugged into my MacBook Pro.
    Please let us know either way, whether the firmware update helps or not in your situation.

  • My iPad 1 has stopped working after trying to instal iOS 5. Can you help restore?

    My iPad has stopped working after trying unsuccessfully to instal iOS5. All that's currently showing on the iPad screen is a white USB cable with a thick arrow pointing towards the iTunes logo (black double note within a white rimmed circle and a blue background).I cannot switch it off and have seemingly lost everything that was on it.
    Please help!

    That means you have to restore the device with iTunes now. So connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and restore the iPad.

  • Satellite A205 - SD Card reader stopped working after Win 7 upgrade

    Satellite A205-SP5818
    I recently upgraded to Windows 7, and, among other things, the SD Card reader stopped working. I already downloaded and installed the driver offered in this site: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2190493& rpn=PSAE3U&modelFilter=&selCategory=3&selFamily=10 73768663 (it's the next-to-last driver shown) but it went from not working all together to making funny noices when I insert the SD card... and then not working.
    Any ideas of other drivers that might work, or any kind of other solution?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    Try to remove eh SD card controller from the device list.
    Then reboot the unit.
    After that windows will ask you for an driver.
    You can download this driver:
    [SD Driver, Flash Memory v2.0.0.7|http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/driver_cardreader_ti_25844A.exe]
    You should unzip this package and has to point the driver files in this folder
    This should helps to get the SD card reader working again

  • W540 - Fingerprint reader stops working after sleep

    Once again the fingerprint reader stopped working.
    When I run the Lenovo Solution Center (v2.7.003 rev 19975) all appears normal. When I go to [Security]>[Fingerprint] I get a <Status> that it is enabled.
    However when I [launch] > Fingerprint Manager Pro (v8.01.35 x64) I get the device is not connected.
    See the pictures.
    This occurred after coming out of sleep, and warm boot or cold boot did not change anything.  It's now been 3 days.  I have no idea what the hardware is doing as there are no lights.  I did not install any new software, aside from the normal AV updates (MS Security and Malwarebytes ONLY! each aware of the other).
    Administrative event logs do not reveal anything.
    Device manager has no warning, neither does it show the fingerprint reader.
    Scanning does nothing,
    Any workaround ???  Any one else with these symptoms.  I can deal with software, and drivers, but I cannot deal with failure to have hardware switches, lights, and other missing workstation attributes.
    re: Lenovo W540 20BG, 32gb, Win 7 x64, BIOS 2.17, Samsung 1tb EVO

    It's an on / off issue.  Partly software and hardware.  I think it a USB / reader problem.  Only occurs occasionally when going to sleep. I do use Zentimo, so that may cause a disconnect when sleeping or at the very least let me know that a disconnect occured.  I just type my user PW, as the reader's surrounding surface is now glossy,  Never had that problem with other high gloss chassis. Oddly the track pad is immaculate and not shiny!
    Reader resumes - in most cases - after cold boot with power off for a while.  If I do a warm boot, the reader remains innactive and disconnected.
    So far the machine from a software side is tamed and works great, it the harware interface with the internals that is a POS.
    If the machine works great, it's because of Intel, nVidia, Micron, etc.  The user dialog to the hardware is missing when PROBLEMS (not issues) occur.
    Thank you for your concern.  Hopefully these issues will be resolved after my yearly update. Albeit, Win 10 concerns me <vbg>.  I think MS Win 10 will go the Adobe route, with a yearly subscription after the free 1 year.

  • DVD drive stopped working after Mavericks install

    I have a Macbook Pro (late 08 model) that was running Snow Leopard. I recently did a clean install of Mavericks and since then the DVD drive just spins and ejects discs without being able to read them (doesn't seem to matter what I use. Software, games, audio cds, etc..). It was working fine before installing Mavericks and I can still boot from the DVD drive (old snow leopard boot disc) but it won't read any discs once booted into the OS even though the OS is detecting the drive just not the disc when inserted.
    I've tried resetting the NVRAM/PRAM and resetting the SMC as suggested on other forums but like many others with the same issue it didn't help. I also cycled through several drutil commands as suggested to "wake up" the drive but that didn't help any either.
    I'm kind of stumped here guys. I could roll back to Snow Leopard but I've got some software thats dropping support so I'd rather be running Mavericks if I can sort out this DVD drive issue. Clearly its not the drive itself since it worked fine before and I can boot from it. Any ideas?

    Hrm looks like I might of fixed it. I went back after seeing another post about spamming drutil commands to "wake up" the drive and just spammed them about 20 or so times and the drive started working again.
    I'm still very confused as to why it just stopped working within the OS after installing Mavericks (yet I was still able to boot from the DVD just fine). Clearly something is bugged in mavericks. I even came across a post on the apple forums from someone with this issue and it was effecting both his late 08 and early 2013 Macbook Pros.
    I'll keep an eye on my own machine to see if it stops working again but for now it seems my drive is "fixed" go figure.

  • Itunes stops working after itunes match runs.

    After I open Itunes and it does the Itunes Match it stops working. I have the most recent version, I have ran all the diagnostics I can on my end. Any clues? Extremely frustrated right now.

    I'm going to ask the hosts to move this to the windows part of the iTunes part of this forum. YOu'll stand a better chance to get an answer there than you will here.

  • Win 7 Drag and Drop stopped working after iTunes update

    I really hope that this is the right sub-forum for this.
    Here goes:
    A few days ago I finally upgraded to 9.1.1.12 and today I was in for a nasty surprise: I can't move MP3s from windows explorer into the iTunes window any more.
    I often create playlists and then drag files I get from a few bands I follow directly into those playlists. This is an easy and painless process. My FTP client downloads the files into a prearranged folder whenever they get a new song up, and I then open said folder and drag and drop the file into iTunes.
    I just got a new song to listen to today, wanted to drag it in an... Nothing. Just the black, crossed-through circle of "No".
    It worked last week. It worked the week before. It worked the years before.
    I got Win7 64 in April. It worked on it since then.
    It stopped working today.
    And no, I won't let iTunes consolidate or organize my media. It only organizes files bought via the iTunes store, nothing I rip from CDs or obtain otherwise, as those files have to be playable by two other players as well. But, again: Until this night it worked without a problem. And after the new update... Stopped.
    Is there a new option I'm missing?

    I was able to fix it.
    I simply stopped running iTunes in Admin mode. For some reason, running it in administrator mode makes it behave "worse" than not doing so.
    When I ran it as a normal program, I was able to drag files into it correctly again.
    Which is weird, as the last version was also running in admin mode, but worked perfectly.

  • Pavilion dv7 fingerprint reader stops working after several hibernate/suspend cycles

    After severl hibernate cycles, the fingerprint reader on my Pavilion dv7 latop stops working. The indicator LED no longer flashes (in either colour), and nothing happens when I scan my fingerprint. I'm forced to revert to password login.
    This has been an issue since getting the laptop. Fingerprint scanning works fine at first after a reboot, but when I hibernate (or, for that matter, suspend) the laptop after using, I'm never sure whether the scanner is going to work when I restart it. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, and the only way that I've so far found to fix it is to reboot.
    I've tried using installing the latest driver from HP's support site, although it seems to be dated May, 2011, and, interestingly, claims to fix a problem with not restarting after several hibernate cycles (hint: it doesn't). I've tried uninstalling and then re-installing the driver. Doesn't seem to make much difference.
    Laptop is an HP Pavilion dv7-6166nr with Windows 7 64-bit Professional installed (although the problem was present with the factory-installed Windows 7 Home Premium).

    Try downloading and running the HP Support Assistant if you have not already. It can search for updates for you specific to your notebook. Here is a link to the download: http://goo.gl/gvpTr

  • FIngerprint reader stopped working after windows automatic updates

    Hi,
    I recently purchased an Envy j109tx laptop.
    From day one the finger print scanner was not working. 
    After updating hp simplepass it started to work.
    Again today I installed some windows update. After that it stopped working.
    The light in the fingerprint reader is not turning on.
    Is there a fix for this?
    Someone please help me.
    Thanks in advance.

    @naga5speed ,
    Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums.  First thing did you do the windows update due to your system having some issue?
    If not then do a system restore back before the update.
    It is probably some microsoft update that is conflicting with the driver.
    It is good to keep your system up to date.  But it is better to make sure before you run an update that you take a look as to why you are updating.
    Do I need to fix an issue?
    If i do not do the update will something stop working?
    Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8)
    If this fails to work then you may have to back up your data and run a system recovery.  The reason for this is what ever update you ran has made changes to system files or the registry that a restore will not fix.

  • DVD Drives not working after Snow Leopard install

    Hello all. I'm having problems after installing Snow Leopard. Om my MacBook Pro, my DVD drive doesn't even read discs anymore. It keeps it spinning for a while and then ejects it.
    Coincidentally, the drive on my iMac 3+ GHZ is not accepting my discs into the DVD drive. It's not sucking in the discs anymore.
    Both of these things started happening right after the Snow Leopard installation.
    Can anyone help?

    Have been running without trouble and had total ability to burn disc images to DVD until SL installation. after installation, every burn attempt fails to complete, give me an unrecoverabl, unable to restart error. I does burn data to the disc, but fails at some point near the end of the burn wich renders the disc a "coaster". I put my spare HDD back in wich was running 10.5, the problem exists with that drive also. My next step was to load a fresh drive with 10.5, even then the problem exists. I find it hard to believe that the drive failed exactly when SL was installed, more likely that the installation changed a hardware setting, or installed a firmware update which cause the problem. As I am a repair tech, I have done a ton of reaserch on the subject, and I find that litterally 10's of thousands of people have had the same issue after the SL upgrade. Come on Apple, I always heard you were better than Microsoft, but as everyone can see there is a problem. Get working on the fix and patch it just like Microsoft.

  • Satellite P200 - Microphone has stopped working after Windows 7 install

    My Satellite P200 came with Vista Ultimate, the mic worked for a few months suddenly it stopped. I decided to install Windows 7, but mic still does not work.
    Any ideas anyone?
    I use this laptop to skpe my folks a lot. I can use an external mic fine, but really want my inbuilt one working again.

    Hi buddy,
    Sounds like its something wrong with your Windows 7 installation if the microphone doesnt work anymore...
    I would recommend updating the webcam driver because the microphone is a part of it. You can find driver updates here:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
    I dont know what Satellite P200 you have exactly but if you cant find a Windows 7 driver for webcam, choose another model that is fully Windows 7 supported, e. g. Satellite P300.

  • Touchsmart IQ770 - IR stopped working after Windows 7 Install

    Have had the satellite hookup working under Vista. Loaded up Windows 7 and now when I try to setup the tuner the IR is not found.
    During Tuner setup I see the signal and hear the audio, it is just the IR part that stops the setup configuration from working.
    Could the Bluetooth be interference?

    Try to install the HP Remote Solution software when it becomes available to see if that works.

  • My 3rd party 30-pin adapter stopped working after iTunes update

    Although I've been getting warning messages ever since my iPhone was updated to iOS7, I was still able to charge my phone with the 3rd party 30-pin to lightning adapter. But suddenly yesterday the adapter stopped working. the only thing I can think of was that I plugged in my iPhone 5 to iTunes to sync my music, and my PC updated my iTunes to v11.1.3.8. Can anybody offer any help as to how I can get my cable to work again?
    Thanks,

    That's because the adapter was produced illegally using stolen Apple patented technology. It does not have the proper authentication/DAC chip in it. Buy a legal 30-pin to lightning adapter.
