Error 2510/2355 - Disk burner or software not found

When I run as administrator, I get Error 2510. When I run as a regular user, I get Error 2355. Either way, and in safe mode or not, I get the "Disk burner or software not found" error when trying to burn CDs. iTunes was working wonderfully for ages and overnight (literally) it stopped writing CDs. There has been no new hardware or software in my system around the time it stopped working (unless my anti-virus missed something). Help please!
What I’ve tried:
Un-install and re-install iTunes.
Steps from: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3299 (but then CDROM didn't work for regular use)
All of the steps from: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308 including solution 3 (manually un- and re-install GEAR drivers)
Ran System File Checker (no problems found), reboot, reinstall Gear Drivers
NOTE: When putting a CD into the drive, I can select Play From Itunes and it works fine.

  • 'Disk Burner or software not found'???

    Hi all....
    The problem is whenever i try and burn a cd in iTunes (7.7.1) i am getting the error message 'Disk burner or software not found',it will usually give another error message '0x80020025'?
    I have tried resetting the finder when this happens but to no avail.I'm also pretty sure this has only started happening since the download of 7.7.Also when i check the 'prefrences' section in iTunes it does recoqnise the burner (MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-845E).I have also tried other burning software but they dont work either?
    Any help on this would be greatly appriecated guys ,thanks

    I'm afraid I can't be of much help finding a solution.
    Although you are using the same drive on a Windows system, the software that supports it works different.
    The PatchBurn 'trick' only works on Macs and I don't know a similar application for Windows.
    Things to check:
    Can you burn an Audio CD with another application.
    Can you burn Data CDs.
    I suggest, you try to answer the above questions and start a topic in the 'Importing & Burning in iTunes for Windows' forum.
    There are several users posting there who know way more of the ins and outs of Windows than I do, and probably can help you.

    And yes, I HAVE uninstalled/reinstalled and tried to do a repair MULTIPLE times. I have a feeling the problem is either disck drive or video card problems. But am not tech Savvy enough to know how to fix. The problem origionated after I had a problem with my other computer and we had all our data transfered from that hard drive to a new computer (this one) and since then I have not been able to burn CDs. I have been able to take music (import) from cds and put them in itunes. So it's just the burning I have a problem with. Any help would be MUST appreciated. Thanks!

  • "Disk burner or Software not found" error message when using iTunes

    My g/f has Vista 64-bit. iTunes used to work until we installed Nero. Granted it's more then likely Neros fault since it went ape** with the registry files but has anyone else lost iTunes burnability after installing Nero?

    I seem to be suffering from this very same predicament. And it is really giving me the *****. I installed a new DVD drive that came with the latest version of nero but, I'm not sure that is the problem. When i hit the advanced tab in the preferences and go to burning, it still registers the old CD burner. This seems to be the one feature that can't be changed in that window. Every other burning program on my computer doesn't seem to have a problem. It's just itunes. I want to be able to burn discs from itunes but I can't. Can one of you brainiacs out there in cyber space tell me how to sort this out.

    Hello queenabs,
    It sounds like you are trying to burn a playlist to a disc in 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:

  • Disc burner or software not found error when trying to burn

    everythime I try to burn I get the disc burner or software not found
    Can anyone help PLEASE

    That program has NOT worked for me. I was hoping - in fact it seemed to slow down i-tunes horribly loading and caused it to hang several times.
    IN the past I had this problem and had to edit a configuration file. Everything was fine until I updated, and no matter what I can't seem to get it working again.
    I've been doing this:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300403
    Or trying to - the file doesn't come up nice and neatly like they would have you think - it comes up all run together, word wrap or not.
    After changing that line 10 thousand ways until Sunday, with a 0, with a zero, with a carriage return, with a pipe, with a space...nothing is working!
    I constantly get a error on i-tunes starting, and it still ISN'T burning.
    It would be really nice IF i-tunes would provide the correct file FOR the sony CRX160E drives.
    Also, I can't seem to search in these forums, that would REALLY help.
