"itunes.exe - No disk There is no disk in the drive.
The following message shows up whenever I open itunes:
"itunes.exe - No disk
There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive\Device\harddisk1\DR2"
Can anyone tell me what this means, and more importantly how do I make it stop?
As long as I click on the "continue" button anywhere from 20 to 40 times, itunes will eventually open. Surely, this is not normal and it has only just begun to happen (after almost 7 years of using itunes.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Windows 7
If you really want to roll back to 11.4 uninstall all iTunes/Apple components, restore the pre-upgrade version of the library as described in Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash, then download and install from one of these direct links:
iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-09-09)
iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-09-09)
If you have trouble uninstalling or reinstalling see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
Note, if you have devices running iOS 8 you cannot use any version of iTunes before 11.4.

Help! Just recently this message window has been appearing everytime I open up iTunes:
Windows No Disk
There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive.
iTunes was humming along nicely for over a year with no problems. All of a sudden this message keeps popping up. I can still use iTunes to its full capacity, but this annoying little window is beginning to push my blood pressure up.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
ThanksAny thoughts?
all manner of thoughts. some might even be relevant to the matter at hand ...
okay, back in the days of new itunes 6.0.0.18 and 6.0.1.3 installs, we used to sometimes get reports of Windows asking for all sorts of disks when people tried to launch itunes after an upgrade. (sometimes it would be like your message, sometimes it would be asking for a specific disk with no apparent connection to itunes.) i never did manage to work out what precisely was going on with it. my best guess was that the installation scripts in the itunes installers (or QT 7.0.3 installers) were sometimes activating other installation routines for other programs. (i've seen your message show up before when i've tried installing other software on my PC from a disk.) whatever it was, it seemed to stop happening to people from itunes 6.0.2.23 (and QT 7.0.4) onwards.
i was wondering if we had an even weirder version of that going on with your message (only it started happening after an install of a different package). that's why i was checking up on the version number of your itunes before.
assuming for the moment that you do have an itunes 6.0.0.18 or 6.0.1.3 in there, we might as well try something that could fix the version of the message that you're getting. sometimes if people put a CD (an audio CD is fine) into the disk drive prior to launching their itunes, they wouldn't get that message. sometimes, they wouldn't get that message ever again even if in future launches they didn't have a CD in the drive.
if no joy with that (and you're currently at 6.0.0.18 or 6.0.1.3), we might try an upgrade to 6.0.4.2 (working on the principle that we haven't seen this often if at all since 6.0.2.23 came out, and 6.0.4.2 is more stable and/or more readily available than 6.0.2.23 or 6.0.3.5).
keep us posted.

am unable to burn any info-photo ect on to a disk. I have a 27" I mac mid 2010 version. I put in a disk, hit burn, it runs for about 3 mins and ejects the disk sayiny there was an error with the drive and will not restart.
The optical drive has probably failed. It's a fairly common thing with these slim SuperDrives. Does it read any discs you put into it? You can try resetting the SMC and pram but I'll be surprised if it helps.
To reset the SMC
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on
Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys. -
I recently upgraded from an 80 to 160GB Classic but only some of the artwork in iTunes is synching. There was no problem with the old 80Gb classic. any suggestions?
here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock. -

I bought Turbo for my kid but the only thing that got downloaded was the iTunes extras. Is there a way to redownload the movie?
You say that 'the only that got downloaded was the iTunes extras' - have you ever download the actual film ? If not then does the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option on your Mac's iTunes find it ? If that doesn't find it then see if it shows in the 'redownloading' area under Quicklinks :
Whether you can redownload the film depends upon what country that you are in, and if the studio/rights-holder allows redownloading. Does the film appear under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your Mac's iTunes
If you haven't been able to download the film, and the above doesn't let you, then try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption -
After app update the app icon is gone.cant open it anymore.no possibility to connect to iTunes on laptop.is there another solution to get the app open again.cuz it's a office app and I need it.
Try a reset or restart.
If the app is still missing, download again via iTunes or connect to the computer and sync it back from iTunes on the computer.
Frankly, in the time it took to sign up and post here the app could have already been re synced from iTunes on the computer. -
I have an Apple TV 3 and have just signed up to iTunes Match. However there is no toggle in the Apple TV settings (I've looked in iTunes store) to turn on iTunes Match.
There would normally be more than 4.
If AppleTV does not 'see' the internet you get Settings and Computers alone.
I'm in UK too - there have been some reported outages of Apple services today globally.
First thing I would do here is unpower and restart AppleTV and also maybe your router.
I'll check mine to see if music is still listed.

i can't sync my new purchased music into my ipod, it states there is a problem with the drive.
Hey Texasdee07,
I found the following information that should resolve the issue:
To repair an iPod disk—Restore the iPod or iPod shuffle using the latest version of iTunes.
Warning: Be sure to back up your data before restoring an iPod. The restore process cannot be undone. All of your songs and files will be deleted.
via: 'Disk cannot be read from or written to' when syncing iPod or 'Firmware update failure' error when updating or restoring iPod

I've had this for sometime and this laptop for about 1 year. Never saw this before, but haven't tryed to line up with ITunes for a while. I get a notice from windows that there is a problem with the drive and it asks it i want to fix it. Nothing happens if i try, so I have not persued that avenue. ITunes says a IPod is detected but the identification cannot be verified. Whats up with that?
ThanksHello, Wallydawg.

This message has started appearing every time I load up itunes, and it freezes my access to itunes, forcing me to abort the job. The message cannot be cancelled, and it does not respond to cancel, try again or continue prompts. I've managed to by pass it by entering itunes via Windows' Accessories->Program compatibility wizard-> choose program itunes, but this is obviously a silly way to achieve something that worked properly before.
I recently upgraded to version 7.0.2
Is this condition unique to me? I suspect not. Any way of clearing up the problem rather that botching one's way to a by-pass of it?

Well, you're going to think I'm silly, but when this was happening to me, I was using the wrong media in the drive. I was attempting to use DVDs in a CD only drive. shrugs -
I keep getting this message when trying to upgrade to Itunes 10.5.1
Driving me nuts trying to upgrade. What can I do to correct this?
"There is a problem with the Windows Installer package.
A program run as part odf the setup did not finish as expected .
Contact your support prersonel or package vender"Yes, I had found a similar solution also. I'm running XP Pro, SP3. I went Control Panels/ Add-Remove programmes/apple software update/ change/ repair. Then run the 10.5 exe.
While the programme updated from version 8 of iTunes, my new iTunes is now a mess. Not all of my music was in the same folder previously but it all showed up on iTunes. Now many albums have been left out, some have only a few tracks and some have two copies of some tracks as well as having other tracks missing. I haven't begun to work on that. -
My itunes radio is not working on my microsoft computer. I downloaded the new itunes but it says there is an error in my itunes store. What do i do to fix the problem?
Try starting Aperture with the command and option keys held down. You'll get 3 options.
Try each, starting at the top, in order, checking after each to see if it fixes the issue. -
