ITunes disables cd burner and player! Help!

As part of my job, I create a lot of audio cds. All was going fine until the middle of last year when an iTunes update, I believe it was something in the 7's stopped my computer from recognizing the factory-installed cd burner. All subsequent updates including the current 8.1 cause the message "disk burner or software not found" each time I try to burn in iTunes (I can't burn from Finder either). Disc playing wasn't too much of a problem save for the occasional stuck cd which had to be force-ejected when the burner suddenly "disappeared". With this new update I can't read or write at all - I've tried all the gimmicks to make things work like zapping the p ram, holding down mouse during start to force eject, using disk utility to fix permissions, etc. We all KNOW this is an ITUNES SOFTWARE GLITCH. My computer was FINE until that first faulty iTunes update. Can somebody PLEASE help as my work depends on it and I can't afford a new computer? Thanks!

  • Missing itune drivers for burning and importing!

    I keep getting the message "itune drivers for importing and burning cd & dvd missing". I have reinstalled itunes, but still getting same message. I want to burn cd's, how can I do this?

    I've just joined this unfortunate universe. Does this mean that anyone who runs Windows Vista and iTunes now has registry settings conflict, and no longer can burn CD's from iTunes? When I checked with Dell technical support for help on this, the only way they could restore my ability to read CD's in the CD drive was to delete iTunes upper and lower filter settings from the registry. And now, it seems like all in this universe, I've lost ability to burn CD's. As asked above, is this for EVERYONE running Windows & iTunes?

    This should get your itunes store connection working.
    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

    I have the same problem with my ipod touch ... but im trying to find a way to fix it without restoring it...
    but one fix is to shut it down completely ... then press and hold BOTH the power button and the home button .. hold both of those 4 ten seconds .. then release the power button but still hold down the home button .. and then it'll show something that says "connect to itunes" once u get it connected to itunes , click the restore button ... BEWARE THIS WILL WIPE OUT EVERYTHING ON YOUR IPOD!!! IT WILL RESTORE IT BACK TO FACTORY SETTINGS , AS IF U JUST BOUGHT IT !!!!! then it should work fine again .. but u will lose all data on there besides the things you have synced with itunes already..
    Thats y im iffy with doing this , im trying to find a fix where i wont have 2 restore it but i dont think there is 1 :'(
    good luck tho
