Has anyone seen this error message: "Disc burner or software not found"?
Two weeks ago I successfully burnt a CD of Word files. Yesterday I put in a blank DVD and got a formatting error message. I didn't think too much of it (thought I had bad discs).
Tonight I tried to burn a CD out of iTunes. I got this error message: "Disc burner or software not found"
I suspect this is not good.
Can anyone help? Details on the DVD drive below.
Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the post.
No moving or renaming files, except for I deleted a file related to Adobe Acrobat to remove a toolbar thing. But nothing other than that.
Are there specific files I should be looking out for?
Thanks again.

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.

When trying to burn a CD I get the message "Disc burner or software not found"
Itunes is not recognizing my CD burnner. I have no trouble importing music nor do I have any problems burning CDs outside of itunes. I have actually been having this problem for some time now. I kept hoping that it would be fixed in an update but alas the problem has persisted. Strangly I noticed in the diagnostic it says the the user in not an administrator which is odd since I am logined in as an Admin. Can anyone help? Here is my diagnostic:

Has anyone seen this error message before?
Hi
We have a server running Windows 2008 R2 which we have built as a demo environment for P6 R8.3 EPPM. It was upgraded to R8.3 SP1 late last year, and has just been sitting idling in between being used for product demonstrations.
Recently I decided to let Windows Update apply a bunch of patches to the OS and the SQL Server instance running on the box - today when a colleague and I logged in to EPPM we kept getting a popup window every 10 seconds or so in front of the main portlet windows, headed "message from webpage", with the message
Logged messages:
message='unable to initialize AdfAgent' level=SEVERE error=message;'AdfIE8Agent' is undefined description:'AdfIE8Agent' is undefined number:-2146823279 name:TypeError at hh:mm:ss
This happens if we access the application using IE; it does not happen if we use Chrome - can anyone offer any suggestions what might be causing it? There is nothing related to AdfAgent or AdfIE8Agent in the Oracle KB at the momentSachin
On the server where P6 + WebLogic are installed, it's IE 11
On my client PC, it's IE 11 as well
I am pretty sure that that the problem has only started since IE11 appeared, but that may be wishful thinking. I have tried clearing everything from the browser cache, with no difference in behaviour. I have also tried setting the emulation mode to IE8 but that didn't seem to make a difference either.
I have restarted the P6 web app several times, and cannot see any errors in the WebAccessLog.html except for a occasional minor one related to Struts - certainly nothing that seems related to ADF directly.
Whatever the issue is, Chrome is not affected, and I have now installed it on the server as well where it is working fine. -
Anyone had this error message AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry point not found?
I use a windows 64bit laptop with Itunes. Recently I have been receiving an error message titled "AppleSyncNotifier.exe- Entry Point Not Found". The sub text is "The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll" I am not sure why it is appearing and I cannot tell what is happening. Anyone have any suggestions? And yes I have removed, installed, removed, installed and removed and installed ITunes for 64bit. Your advice welcomed and appreciated in advance!
Doublechecking, Dad:
I have also reloaded all other iTunes software.
Did you use the following document as a guide?
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
(If we're looking at program file damage down in Apple Application Support or Apple Mobile Device Support, the 2. Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled section is very important.) -
Has anyone seen this error message before? If so, any suggestions?
Happens whenever the user tries to add a signature to a PDF.
Hi,
I don't recognize the toolbar on the left side of the screen. Is there a third-party plug-in installed. If so, close Acrobat, move the the plug-in out of the plug_ins folder located at \Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\plug_ins (don't delete, just move it somewhere else), restart Acrobat and try to sign. If the crash doesn't occur then it's being caused by the non-Adobe plug-in.

ITunes 7.6 "Disc Burner or Software Not Found" - Windows XP
- I have searched far and wide for this answer, but to no avail. Please, if you can, give me some help here, as I spent have the night looking for solutions. -
My wife's iTunes suddenly started giving the error message "disc burner or software not found." There are many multiple posts about this across the net, but no one seems to have an answer. Here are my specs...
Windows XP
HP Laptop, NEC drive
Daemon is NOT installed (never was).
There is no 3rd party burning software (Nero, etc) on the computer (never was).
Windows is fully up to date.
Itunes is fully up to date (installed 7.6 mere hours ago).
The drive is good; CD ripping works.
Under Advanced, iTunes does list the drive, but under the diagonstic, it doesn't come up.
No changes have been made to the system in ages; it just suddenly started giving this error.Step 3: Clearing upper and lower registry filters
Clear the registry filters for Device Manager error codes 19 , 31 , 32 , or 39 :
Unplug all non-essential external plug and play devices, especially cameras.
Click Start , and enter "regedit " into the Start Search field.
The registry editor window appears.
Select Computer in the main window.
Click File , Export , type a filename that is easy for you to remember, and click Save .
A copy of the registry has saved for back-up purposes to the Documents folder. If problems occur after using these steps, browse to the file and double-click it to restore the registry.
Click the plus sign ( + ) next to the following items in the list:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE
SYSTEM
CurrentControlSet
Control
Class
Select 4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318 . Make sure you have selected this exact key name.
Select the LowerFilters value and press the Delete key. Confirm the deletion by clicking Yes .
Figure 10: Registry Editor: LowerFilters key
If an UpperFilters value is also listed, select UpperFilters in the right window and press the Delete key.
Confirm the deletion by clicking Yes .
Delete all other UpperFilter and LowerFilter values within the 4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318 key if they exist.
Close the registry editor and restart the computer. The disc drive should now be recognized by Windows. You may need to uninstall your disc recording software, restart the computer, reinstall the CD/DVD writing software, and then restart the computer again if the software no longer recognizes the drive (see next step).
