Installed 10.3, Now no Disc Burner Software

Hello all,
I reformatted my entire drive due to several issues with my PowerBook G4. I installed 10.3 from scratch and no longer have OS 9 in my startup disc. I have upgraded to 10.3.9. Whevever I put in a CD, it just kicks it back out. Even brand new software discs. When it does stay in the drive, it is not recognized by the PowerBook. I also noticed that I no longer have the Disc Burner software on my Mac. Any thoughts on how I can reinstall Disc Burner? All the online help has the Disc Burner software for OS9 only which will not install since there is no OS9 folder. I am guessing this is the reason the disc gets spit out everytime. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

Hi Peter,
disc burner is not part of MacOS X. Burning capability is built into the system, no seperate application needed.
Furthermore: your problem is not the burning capability but the recognition of the optical media. I suggest you first run the Apple hardware test and the reapply the Mac OS X Combined Update 10.3.9.
Do not forget: Repair permissions before and after an update!

    This is a copy of ONEof the keys  in the registry I changed  as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR  software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others  they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so  I downloaded the software and installed again.
    Sorry, just this minute went to insert image  and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content  is not allowed?.
    The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr  SiRem GEARAspiWDN.

  • Disc burner software not found (iTunes 10.1.2)

    I am using iTunes 10 and have just started having problems in burning CDs within iTunes. I am trying to burn some podcasts on the CD (in audio CD format) and every time I try, I get an arror message that the disc burning software is not found.
    Can anyone help in rectifying this?
    On a different note, does anyone know how to mark a podcast as 'listened to' without listening to it via iTunes? When I burn a podcast to disc, it's not marked as listened to on iTunes and then after about 4 or 5 downloads, it suspends downloads as it thinks I'm not listening to them.
    Thanks

    This is interesting -- I have tried to burn the disc again and now iTunes is working fine.
    I'd say that perhaps I just overworked the drive, but that seems like too easy a solution. I've been noticing some oddities with my video drive lately, so maybe it is related.
    Either way, thank you for your help so far -- I hope it doesn't relapse!

  • Disc burning software not found?

    Trying to burn a cd, and it says that the disc burning software isn't found, but I recently burned a CD. How do I fix it?

    I've been struggling through this problem with little help from Dell and NONE from Apple. I receive the same error message. I've updated drivers, bios, uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes, even bought an external usb cd/dvd drive. No success! Apple is pretty lame when it comes to fixing problems. I don't know why people are drinking the Apple cool-aid. Their software and support are no better or worse than in the Windows environment. Maybe worse. At least you hear back from other hw/sw companies.
    I don't know what the fix is or when it will be fixed but iTunes 8 is crap.

  • I get "disc burner or software not found" when I try to burn a playlist.

    I am now getting "disc burner or software not found" when I try to burn a playlist from iTunes version 10.6.1.7 on Windows 7 PC. I've not added any new burner software or made any software changes of any kind. I have NERO 8 and I checked the "burn rights" is set for "everyone".
    Is the any solution?

  • Windows XP: Disc Burner or Software Not Found/No Supported Disc Burners

    I am running Windows XP SP2 with all the latest updates on a Sony VAIO laptop. I recently upgrade to iTunes 7.3.1 and discovered that I was unable to burn audio CDs. iTunes does not recognize the CD burner in my laptop. I have other CD burning software (Sonic), and have successfully burned both an audio CD and a data CD using the software.
    When I insert an audio CD, iTunes is able to recognize it and offers to import it into my library.
    I searched the forums and used some suggestions from other users to revert back to the 7.2 and 7.1.1 software. The burner is still not recognized. I've even gone through the regedit exercise, removing anything related to iTunes, short of the files stored under My Music\iTunes.
    I have an OEM desktop computer (Windows XP) that is also having the same problem (no disc burner found). The desktop is also able to insert an audio CD and have iTunes recognize it and offer to import it.
    I would appreciate any help anyone can provide on this.

    Gabrix is correct. It turned out the issue was with Daemon tools - which I had uninstalled, but which leaves nasty little drivers on your system.
    Thanks for to some help from friends, I found this link: http://forums.techguy.org/multimedia/582230-problem-disc-burner-software-not.htm l which points both how to completely uninstall Daemon and how to update Daemon if you wish to keep it on your system.
    I hope this helps. It's sure better than having my system reboot every time I try to run the diagnostics check.

  • Disappearing disc Burner!!

    I have never previously had any issues with my 2009 iMac - but suddenly today when trying to burn a CD , iTunes is giving me the old "no disc burner or software found" message. I see that this has been an issue previously over the years - but I cannot find anything where it has simply gone awol on someones Mac.. I have checked on the system profiler and there is now no disc burner shown..Just updated the iTunes software to 10.3.1 and verified the HD, no problems found..
    can anyone please point me in the right direction??
    And apologies if this has been posted elsewhere - just can't find the same problem resolved.
    Cheers guys

    Thanks to Happytin:
    I went through all that naffness of making an account in order to scuttle along here and share what I found out.
    I had to reinstall Windows XP after my computer suffered a strange "I'll delete fun .dll files" moment. Following this iTunes no longer recognised my CD-RW, although other programs did.
    I tried taking DAEMON tools off. No joy.
    I tried reinstalling iTunes. No joy.
    I tried flipping back to an older version of iTunes. No joy.
    I tried installing the GEAR files again. No joy.
    I tried scowling and kicking. No joy.
    So far, so familiar!
    What WORKED...I REPEAT....WHAT WORKED!!! is this:
    Download the Gear Driver : http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/drivers.cfm
    Then you also need to download this:
    http://disc-tools.com/download/sptdbeta
    This covers you if you have Daemon, used to have Daemon, are thinking of using Daemon, once talked to someone about Daemon, saw the word Daemon once somewhere you can't remember. Basically, even if you don't have Daemon, download the SPTD because iTunes has some sort of issue about your CD-RW that means it's confused with something else in the world.
    Restart your computer.
    This should work for you. I've just tried it on iTunes 6.0.4.2 because that was the version I was trying to make recognise the CD-RW when I found the above solution.
