How to install drivers for importing and burning CDs

When I open my iTunes program, I receive a notice that: the drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.  I have attempted to re-install the iTunes program, but to no avail. 

See iTunes for Windows: "Registry settings" warning when opening iTunes and/or iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install.

    I can get down as far as step 11 but it shows nothing about upper filters and when I type on "If the Upper Filters entry is missing follow these instructions" nothing happens
    Do you mean you can't see the instructions on what to do if there is no UpperFilters entry?
    If so, here's the relevant instructions for that step:
    On the right side of the Registry Editor window, right-click the UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.
    Right-click the empty white space within the right-hand portion of the Registry Editor window. From the shortcut menu, choose New > Multi-String Value.
    Name this new value "UpperFilters" (without the quotes). Then, right-click the newly created UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.

    Hi for the message error "Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
    Here are the resolutions I found and it fix the problem for me.
    Resolution
    iTunes installs a device filter which helps it work with your optical drive. If this device filter is missing, you will see the message mentioned above. To resolve this issue, reinstall iTunes to put the device filter back in place. To reinstall iTunes, follow the steps in the article below appropriate to your OS:
    HERE http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    If you still get the pop up error "Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
    Do this

  • When connecting to Itunes, it shows the following error: registry settings used by itunes drivers for importing and burning cds are missing.  I have installed the gear drivers, uninstalled and installed itunes still showing same error.  Anything else?

    When connecting to Itunes, it shows the following error: registry settings used by itunes drivers for importing and burning cds are missing.
    I have edited the registery, downloaded the Gear drivers, uninstalled and installed itunes, and the error still appears.
    What else can I do.  Cannot connect any of our iphones or ipods to itunes because of this error. 

    I have edited the registery,
    We'd better have a closer look at the keys to see what's going on.
    Can you post a screenshot of the contents of the key you've been editing, please? Include all of the regedit screen, including the left-hand column. Save the screenshot to an image file, and insert the image file in a reply by clicking the wee camera icon at the top of the reply window.

  • Registry settings used by iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs

    I'm using Windows 7, started getting this error message
    "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
      So, I tried an iTunes repair. Still got the same message.  Then I uninstalled iTunes, still got the same message. Then I followed instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to completely remove all iTunes files and restart computer, then reinstall iTunes - that still hasn't worked.
    My daughter's Ipod is an IPod Nano 8GB don't know how to tell what generation it is and can't find that info on the iPod or the box or the booklet... (it's her IPod that we're trying to work with here).

    Can I uninstall existing iTunes without losing my media library?  and then install fresh to fix this problem?

  • Error msg at launch says "Registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. ... Please reinstall iTunes."

    Each time I launch iTunes (latest version) on Windows 7 (w/ latest system updates) I receive the following error msg:
    "Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software.  Please reinstall iTunes."
    When I click on "OK" iTunes completes the launch process and the application functions properly.  This error msg appears without fail every time I launch the app.
    I have reinstalled iTunes four times and continue to receive this message.  iTunes is set in the system Control Panel as the default program for all functions that iTunes uses.  I never burn CDs or DVDs and have never attempted to do so on this machine.  I have had iTunes on this computer since I bought it last November and never had a problem with it until 2 months ago when this message began popping up.  I did not notice any action I took that caused this, in terms of creating conflicts.
    I hope someone can assist me in finding a way to stop this annoying error!  Thanks!

  • The registry settings used by theiTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs are missing

    I recently installed a programme to convert audio from a cassette player to digital and I found that my CD/DVD drive was missing. I deleted the offending programme and followed a "fix" by deleting the upper and lower filters as specified in the fix. My CD/DVD drive reappeared but now when I open iTunes I get the message “the registry settings used by theiTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs are missing” even though I am able to import tracks from a CD to iTunes. I haven't tried burning a CD yet but then I hardly ever do. I don't appear to have the problem but the message insists that I do!
    I have removed iTunes and all associated files and folders from my computer and reinstalled iTunes three times but the message still appears every time I open iTunes. I use Vista. Can you help?
    Many thanks.

  • The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing

    Error on Itunes start-up.  Must click OK before Itunes will start.
    The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software.  Please reinstall iTunes.
    I have reinstalled iTunes using their complete uninstall instructions.
    iTunes does seem to work after OK is clicked, I'm just tired of having to hit OK.
    Other thoughts...  This started after the iTunes update required to go to IOS 6 for my devices.  I'm able to sync my devices. It is possible that ZoneAlarm (my Antivirus and Firewall) got in the way at install.  It flagged something and I denied it.  I was doing multiple things at the time and the flag did not have any indication about iTunes.  I have tried shutting down ZoneAlarm for the install and that has not helped either.
    Will try another full uninstall that includes uninstalling ZoneAlarm...
