ITunes cannot find disc burner or software
I quit burning a playlist one song in, now the CD won't eject from my computer and iTunes tells me "disc burner or software not found". ***???
Reboot, manually eject the CD, repair permissions and see if it works. Generally on all macs interrupting CD or DVD burns and even in other applications, like Toast causes all manner of confusion. Let it finish next time even if you change your mind since the CD is ruined anyway.

"Cannot find CD burner or software"
I have a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pro PC with an integrated CD burner which works perfectly well burning cd's with Windows Media Player. However, when I try to burn CD's with Itunes for Windows, I always get the message (translated from Norwegian): "Can not find cd burner og software...", and, of course, then I'm not able to burn a cd. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and does anyone have a solution to it?
PS! When I look at the "advanced settings" I see that Itunes has recognized my cd burner, so that cannot be the problem here.

Itune keeps showing "disc burner or software not found
can anyone give me a simple solution to this problem please.disc burner or software not found .
It's kind of difficult only knowing you have an ipod nano but not knowing what computer you are using, nor which operating system version, nor which version of iTunes.
Have you restarted your computer?
Can you burn a CD in Finder?

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).

Help please - iTunes disc burner or software not found... with full troubleshooting details
In iTunes 11.1.3.8 on my Windows 8 HP Laptop, when trying to "Burn Playlist to Disc", I get the Burn Settings window "E: hp DVD A DS8A9SH", then I select MP3 CD and click "Burn", I unfortunately get the dreaded iTunes "disc burner or software not found...". I think this is the second time this has happened (first time I think a simple reboot fixed it), and I assume because iTunes was updated this issue came back again and I cannot burn MP3 cds anymore because of it!
I've followed all steps outlined in this support 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)
Solution 1, no updated firmware was available for dvd drive.
Solution 2, not relevant because those files were not present when I looked for them.
Solution 3, I'm familiar with regedit and did exactly what the step by step instructions told me including rebooting multiple times to completely remove Gear drivers/keys, installing the new Gear driver files with their official setup file "For 32-bit and 64-bit systems:" from http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/drivers.php (and gave another reboot just in case) and opened iTunes at the very end of the entire process.
Still getting the dreaded "disc burner or software not found..." error when trying to burn a playlist to a CD. The weird thing is when I click Burn playlist to a CD, I see the DVD drive "E: in the next prompt which asks for Data CD/MP3 CD, Audio CD.
So I clicked on Help > Run Diagnostics, selected "CD/DVD Drive tests" only and clicked "Next".
Window says "To begin the test, please insert a prerecorded audio cd..." so I did that and clicked "Next".
Under "Choose an optical drive to test:", the drop-down menu only shows "[Choose a Drive]", no other options. Under "Optical drive:" it says "No drive chosen for testing.", and I click the "Next" button.
Here are the diagnostics output I got:

I'm extremely confused as to what to do next. I was thinking I should try reinstalling iTunes but I'm not sure that would even work and I'm so paranoid about installing it correctly and referencing the right existing library files that I'd like to see other suggestions first.
Any help from the community or Apple would be tremendously appreciated and I would be glad to do more testing and provide more details. Thanks!Hi there aaxim,

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:

Even when I select a playlist I cannot find the burn disc option under file. How do I find it?
Even when I select a playlist, I cannot find the burn disc option under the file tab. How do I go about finding it? It has always worked previously, or at least until the latest version of Itunes installed.
