ITunes does not recognize my CD/Rom Burner. The CD burner works with all other applications on my computer. How do I correct this?

ITunes does not recognize my burner. The burner works perfectfully with all other applications. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi scotty2hotty1972,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has some steps you can try if iTunes isn't recognizing your optical drive:
iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install

    My win8 pc hard drive failed.  After the hard drive was replaced, I copied iTunes Media backupfiles from external hard drive (Karen's Replicator backup software was used).  ITunes does not recognize these back up files even though the location is the same as cloud & recently burned music that does show- help!  The backup files consist of 34,000+ songs; almost all burned from my own CD collection.  I do have most of the songs on an ipod classic but hesitate to try to restore from that.  Can someone tell me how to get these 34,000 songs to show up in iTunes?  Thanks!!

    This diagram shows how a typical iTunes library ought to be set out (click on it to enlarge)
    The red outline highlights the media folder and its contents, the various subfolders are only created if that kind of content is in your library. The right-hand side shows the files that should be found in the iTunes library folder; sentinel is normally hidden so may not be visible. The core of your iTunes library is the file iTunes Library.itl, you need to restore this, the other library files and the Album Artwork folder, as well as the media folder, to restore your library.

  • I got an iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. I updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone.

    I upgraded from Iphone 3g to iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. the **** thing with the new iphone 4. I bought and updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone before it will sync! It says everything on the phone now will be cleared in order to sync it with my existing info on the computer from my previous iphone. How can I just get everything from my current iphone 4 into itunes, basically add it to the info from my previous iphone 3g that is currently in my itunes?  I dont want to lose what I have on my phone currently....I paid money for half the apps for crying out loud.
    I was so frustrated by this when I first bought the phone that I just pushed it out of my mind and NEVER synced it. Please help...

    Nope - you cannot restore a backup from a newer iOS version on to a device running an older iOS version.  The reverse works, but in your case to use your backup, you must update to iOS 7.0.3 - no other option if you want to use that backup.

  • ITunes does not recognize password on iMac, but I can sign in to post here, sign in on my iPad, and sync my iPad to my iMac

    If I want to sign in to this message board, I can do so.  I can also sign in on my iPad to download updates, purchase new apps and songs, etc.  And I can sync my iPad to iTunes on my iMac.
    But when I open iTunes on my iMac, it asks for my password and I can't sign in.  What is causing this problem with iTunes on my iMac repeatedly asking for my password when I open iTunes?
    This is very frustrating.  I am also worried that I won't be able to sync when my new iPad arrives March 16.  Help!

    The solution (for me at least) is to keep trying the same password in iTunes on my iMac that I know is correct.  For me, the fourth try of typing in the exact same password works in iTunes on my iMac.  I have repeated this several times, and each time it works.
    What is messing people up is that when iTunes does not recognize the correct password, people are attempting other passwords.  Those other passwords are all incorrect.  The problem, as you stated, is that the password was entered correctly the first time but because of iTunes having issues it does not recognize it.
    People, just keep entering the password you know is correct.  It will eventually recognize it, or at least this works for me.  If this still does not work, reset your password (but then you may still have to enter it repeatedly in iTunes). 
    Apple needs to fix this.

  • TS1369 After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

    After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

    I followed all the instructions on the suggested page. Many files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\ could not be deleted. Message said ""Cannot delete files: It is being used by another person or program"' but could not find iPodService.exe in task manager (also, the "Cannont delete ... " did not mention iPodService.exe).
    Deleted all that I could. Reinstalled iTunes. Still same result. iTunes and computer both recognize my old iPod. Only the computer recognizes iPod Touch.

  • Windows and iTunes does not recognize

    yada, yada...
    I tried the Rs, but my new computer and iTunes does not recognize my shuffle. Can someone give me basic steps to correct this? Shuffle was previously 'synched' with another iTunes library and I don't want to erase my currently uploaded music. Help please!

    I don't know if this is the same problem, but I cannot get my I-pod Nano to sync or have I-tunes recognize it. It is a connector problem, and this is my second Nano to do it within nine months. Apple wants $32 to send it in to be repaired once again. I am irritated beyond belief. I took my Nano in to an IMAC store and they confirmed that it was a connector problem. They could not send it off nor repair or replace it though. So I've had two Nano's since Christmas have this problem.
    I would suggest that you try another device (shuffle) on your computer to ensure that it's not your computer (our other I-pods worked on the computer) and/or take it in to an IMAC store where they will see if it connects to one of their computers.
    Right now I think Apple products are basically crap...

  • ITunes does not recognize my first generation iPod Shuffle

    iTunes does not recognize my first generation iPod Shuffle (512MB).  Windows 7 sees the iPod as an empty external drive although the iPod has music on it.  The iPod plays the music fine.  iTunes does recognize a similar first generation iPod Shuffle.
    What can be wrong with the iPod Shuffle?   How can I fix?
    Thanks,I
