Importing Burned CDs, changing info etc...

Recently a friend bought an iPod Nano for me and put about 150 songs on it. After I received it, I brought it home to try to add more songs to it. I authorized my computer but could not add more songs without losing what was already on the iPod. (Synching replacing issues). So my friend burned the songs that were on my iPod onto CDs for me. I imported the CDs into the Recently Added folder. NONE of the songs information is correct such as the Title, Artist and Album name. How do I fix this? I tried double clicking on one to change it and I was able to change one song title, but nothing else. (Read-only option is not checked either). Would appreciate any help!!! Thank you!
Dell Windows XP

Im having the same problem. My OS is Vista home edition. Ive updated my itunes and When i put a cd in, it simple Spins then stops and isnt recognised by itunes! It works fine on Windows media player but i want the music on my ipod.

You might have two different things going on at once here.

Importing & burning CDs registry settings missing

Since I installeld iTunes on new Windows 7 PC I continually get this message at startup "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a reuslt of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes"
I've already uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, including on the last try, all the associated Apple software, Bonjour etc., and this hasn't fixed this. Is there something I need to also do to the Windows registry to give an absolutely fresh install?
I dont' burn that many CDs but I'm quite likely to want to import more CDs as I never imported my whole collection.

Trouble Importing burned CDs to iTunes 11.0.1

For years I have been able to import CDs which I have burned on my home stereo from vinyl and other sources. Now that I have iTunes 11.0.1, whenever I try to do this I get a message that I have inserted a blank disc. I have a large collection of these burned disks, and would like to import most of them into itunes and put them on my ipod, but haven't been able to do so since updating iTunes to 11.0.1. Thanks in advance for any insights/solutions.
.... I have even put in CDs that I had imported previously, and am still told that I have inserted a blank disk, though the music from the first time i imported it has always been available, and the disk plays everywhere else.

The headers on the problem tracks may be corrupted or nonstandard. This can happen with some MP3 conversion or import utilities, and iTunes is very picky about headers. If you search the web for "mp3 repair" you'll find a number of repair tools. Here is one utility I've seen mentioned:
Mp3 Validator Mac version
I haven't tried it myself so I can't attest to how well (or indeed if) it works, but it'd be worth a try.
Hope this helps.

Importing Burned CDs

I used to be able to simply insert a CD and iTunes would recognize. Now there is no response from iTunes. I have tried updating preferences with all of the different options as well as changing my control panel information on how to handle CDs. Any ideas on how to get a CD to import automatically into iTunes?

Importing & Burning CDs while trying to listen to iTunes at the same time

I used to be always listen to any song in my iTunes library while I was either importing or burning a CD, and it sounded normal. But now, if I try to listen to a song while I am importing or burning a CD the sound gets really fuzzy, the songs slows down, and starts skipping. Has anyone ever had this happen to them? What did I do to make this start happening? And more importantly...does anyone know how to fix it? Thanks!

Exact same problem here - iTunes has been maxing out the CPU since version 7.3 and this appears to be causing the distortion.
I've seen a few similar posts on these boards but no one has posted a fix.

Unable to import burned CDs

I have the newest version of iTunes on my brand new Dell laptop and I have this peculiar problem.
Whenever I load a burned CD into the drive, it is completely invisible in iTunes. I can open it with Windows Media Player, can view it in My Computer, but it won't show up in iTunes.
I even tried the systems check, which detected CD functionality, and said it was fine even when a burned CD was loaded into the drive.
What I have NOT tried is burning a CD on this computer and seeing if it will show up after I remove it and reload it.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Don't have a solution, but here is a workaround: import with WMP, and then add the files to your iTunes library. Make sure you have set WMP to create MP3s, not WMAs.

Burned CDs with no tags

When importing "burned" CDs into i tunes, how can I label the usual track 1,2 etc. and place them into folders so that I can identify and retrieve them on my i pod Nano (2nd generation)Thanks for assistance.

Does this answer your question?
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607302&#607302
The info will have to be entered manually, by right clicking on a track for the CD, select "get info" then "info" and entering the info for each particular track. Then click "next" to add info for other tracks.
You can enter album info for all tracks by highlighting all tracks at once, then right click for the "get info" window and enter info (such as album or artist) for multiple songs.

"The registry setting used by itunes for burning CDs are missing"

Whenever I start up Itunes... I get this error message.
"The registry settings used by the Itunes drivers for importing & burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall Itunes".
Problem is... when I reinstall itunes nothing changes.
I've got Roxio cd-burning software installed on my computer. Is there a conflict with this software?
I can't burn songs from Itunes on to a CD. I haven't tried importing a CD or DVD but I'm guessing that won't work either.
Any advice??

ITunes no longer recognize iPod or iPad, won't burn cds.

I've recently updated iTunes and it no longer recognises either my iPod or iPad mini. It also generates the "Registry settings used for importing and burning cds are missing etc" message on opening the program.
So far I've tried:
- Re-installing iTunes several times
- Stopping and restarting the Apple mobile device service
- Following the steps in the "iTunes for Windows: "Registry settings" warning when opening iTunes" troubleshooting guide, going into the registry key and adding in the GEARAspiWDM iTunes filter device.
- And reinstalling iTunes a couple more times
This doesn't seem to have had any effect - what's the next step I should take? I'm using Windows 8.

eta - I've also been following the steps from here but I've been unable to empty the Temp directory, even with no apps runnings, and attemping to verify the Apple Mobile Device USB driver is installed failed - the driver specified in the fix came up with an error that it wasn't compatible with my version of Windows, and there is no drivers folder in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\.

Every time I open Itunes or plug in my Ipod or Ipad I get an error message that the registery settings for burning cds and dvds are missing and to reinstall Itunes. i've done this several times but the message won't go away.

Every time I plug my Ipod Nano or Ipad 2 into my computer I get the same error message. It says that registery settings are missing for importing burning cds and dvds due ot other burning software and to untinstall itunes and reinstall Itunes. I've done this several times and I'm not having any trouble importing cds at all and I can't make the message go away. It always comes up before Itunes will open.

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

Drivers for burning CDs

Help needed!
A message that registry settings for Drivers for importing & burning CDs & DVDs is missing appears when opening iTunes.
As advised by the error message I re-installed V 10.6.1.7 (from fresh download) but still get the same message.
iTunes does read CDs but will not burn one.

Have tried everything in forum and cant burn cds or import them. itunes says to reinstall but doesn't fix problem.

Hi. I have had a message each time I open Itunes. It has varied but includes the following:
Itunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn cds you must reinstall itunes.
Itunes helper not installed correctly - Error 7
Itunes is not the primary __ for CDs/DVDs. Please reinstall itunes
THE REGISTRY SETTINGS USED BY THE ITUNES DRIVERS FOR IMPORTING AND BURNING CD'S AND DVD'S ARE MISSING. THIS CAN HAPPEN AS A RESULT OF INSTALLING OTHER CD BURNING SOFTWARE. RE-INSTALL ITUNES -
I went through tons of steps that I found online including all of the steps to Fix Gear Drivers. I did the registery steps, I updated my CD & DVD drivers, I uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes, Bonjour, Quicktime and all else in the long list.
Nothing has helped. What else can be done? The message has changed as I have done all of the self-fix steps but it won't let me burn disks still and still get errors.
Help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,
FYI, the step that has me add back Upperfilters causes Itunes to no longer recognize the drives so I can't do this step. I have tried everything listed.

I cross posted also but this forum looks better.
I've had the same problem. I notice that my Superdrive justs looks at the disc for a bit and then spits it out.
When I boot from my clone of my 10.4.10 setup, I can mount and burn a CD-R in iTunes, although the names of the tracks and disc are screwed up (while the actual data is correct).
But in 10.4.11 and Leopard (also testing that on an external drive) the blank disc won't mount at all.
