ITunes Registry Settings Missing

hi, Every time i startup itunes 7 on my pc i get this screen and i can't burn anything (i an import though):
http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/5773/ituneserrorew0.png
i've re-installed five times (and no, i don't have another burning software installed, except for the basic windows cd writing thing) in the last two days, and i keep getting this error. i'm having problems downloading album art (tunes hangs then i have to end itunes manually) , and also: when i try to use coverflow my system hangs and then i get a blue screen of death and the system restarts (something i haven't seen since the days of windows 98). right now i'm scared to plug in my ipod 4g, for fear that it might go haywire with this version of itunes.
system specs:
2ghz Celeron
512mb of ram
windows xp home sp2
any help would be greatly appreciated

okay, for some advanced techniques for dealing with that error message, see:
iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting CD issues caused by device filters
with the blue screen, let's try getting a minidump to the Apple enginners for a look.
To set up your machine to capture a minidump, right click on "My Computer", select "Properties", select the "Advanced" tab, select the "Startup and Recovery" Settings button, select "small memory dump" from the popup. When it crashes, look for the MiniDump file. It's usually in the folder "C:\WINDOWS\Minidump" and is called something like Mini<number>-<number>.dmp.
collect the minidump, and send it to this email address
in the email, make sure that you include:
(1) the minidump file (as an attachment).
(2) a link to this thread
(3) a brief description of your problem, and the context you're getting it in.
(4) the username that you're using here in the discussion boards.

  • Can't install iTunes - registry settings missing

    On installing iTunes, I get a message 'Registry settings used by iTunes for importing and burning CDs/DVDs are missing'. I have Vista and on updating it, I lose email, Norton etc. so tend not to update. Thanks to anyone who can help.

    Resolved this problem by altering the registry settings (Microsoft Knowledge Base has the solution)

  • Cant Burn CD's because of "Registry Settings" missing??

    I have nano Ipod and have tried for hours to uninstall any CD-burning software from by computer as when I install it Ipod software on my computer it says "The Registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burnind CD's and DVD's are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall ITunes.
    I have deleted the Sonic burner and reinstalled itunes 4 different times. What should I do. I want to put the songs on a CD to listen in the car.
    Please help me someone.
    Thanks

    This really should have been posted in the "Using iTunes for Windows" section, but I can answer it for you. I noticed you list Windows ME as your Operating system. If you are using Windows ME, that is the key to all of your troubles. iTunes for Windows will not work with any version of Windows other than 2000 or XP. If you are using XP, you'll need to look into running a system file check to be sure that none of your Windows components have been deleted or damaged. (This usually requires your original Windows XP CD) Click Start>Choose Run, and type sfc /scannow in the "name" box, then hit Enter or click Run. This will scan your Windows files to make sure they are intact and operating properly. If any files are not in place or functioning, the SFC will ask you to put in your Windows CD so it can re-write them from the disc. I hope this helps.

  • Registry Settings Missing?

    I am running Windows XP Pro SP 3, and have repeatedly uninstalled & reinstalled iTunes, but keep getting this message:
    "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs & DVDs missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
    I've reinstalled, with no luck. What now?
    Thanks!

    Well So much for support, NO one can tell me HOW to fix the registry so that the itunes will recognize the burning. Isnt ther a Place to just download the DRIVERS ????? If i burn the music MP4 icons to a different burning software it burns and will play music on the PC but NOT in the car stereo. someone said i needed to purchase the music in a different format, but I wasnt given any options. they look the same as myother music on mylaptop. ( which will not PLAY the new downloaded songs......even though i authorized them ) Im so lost with this its a hassle. If both my computers are autorized , they should let us download the music to each one, as obviously just copying them and moving is NOT helping me out.
    I wish someone had some answers !!!!
    IF anyone can help Email me. PLEASE

  • Importing & burning CDs registry settings missing

    Since I installeld iTunes on new Windows 7 PC I continually get this message at startup "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a reuslt of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes"
    I've already uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, including on the last try, all the associated Apple software, Bonjour etc., and this hasn't fixed this. Is there something I need to also do to the Windows registry to give an absolutely fresh install?
    I dont' burn that many CDs but I'm quite likely to want to import more CDs as I never imported my whole collection.

    You might have two different things going on at once here.
    Starting with the registry settings message.
    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • ITunes registry values missing

    When I start iTunes I get an error that says the registry values iTunes uses for ripping and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. "This can happen when installing other burning software. Please reinstall iTunes." Well I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and the problem still happens. I made sure I have the latest iTunes.
    When I was trying to get a different DVD burn software to work I did modify some registry values but I don't know what they were before. I only have one restore point but it is after I modified the registry values.
    Is there any way to get iTunes to change my registry values back to the proper values or is there any other way to solve this problem?
    Thanks!!

  • Since I installed Nero 2104 I get an error message when I try to start iTunes: registry settings changed probably due to other cd/dvd burning program please reinstall iTunes, which I've done using repair option but the problem persists...?

    Since I installed Nero 2014 I get an error message when I start iTunes that registry settings for importing and burning cds/dvds have changed probably due to other burning software installed please reinstall iTunes, which I've done using 'repair' option, but the problem persists.

    If you're still getting the error message (especially when you plug in the Touch), I'd check for a device filter confusion on the PC. (They can affect the connection of USB devices to a PC, as well as burning and importing CDs.) For that one, see:

  • Itunes registry files missing?

    When i start Itunes a message comes up saying that there are NO registry files and it may be due to another software installed. To correct this, please uninstall and reinstall. I did that. I still get the same error. Please help!

    I wonder if this Apple article on registry issues helps?

  • Registry settings used by Itunes drivers not found

    I just installed the latest version of itunes after having an old version previously installed. Every time I run Itunes now I receive an error message. It says something about registry settings missing that are used by itunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs. It suggests re installing itunes and uninstalling any other CD burning software. I have reinstalled itunes perhaps 6 times now and i have not installed any other CD burning software - ever - windows media player was always installed. I don't think WMP should be interferring though since it didn't before. I receive this error message everytime i run itunes. Also, this may be related, I cannot consolidate my library. Everytime i select the option nothing happens. itunes does not react whatsoever.

    toonz here is what it says now, but like I said it is working fine now.

  • Registry Settings Message and Reinstalling iTunes

    I have the following message when opening iTunes: Registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burnind CDs and DVDs are missing as a result of installing other CD burning softwware. Please reinstall iTunes. If I reinstall iTunes will I lose the CDs that I've already put into iTunes? Will my music files be safe or will I have to reload everything? Thank you!

    Found support articles on this topic and will try this. It appears that the music files will not be lost, which is the big thing for me. Any other insight from the community at large is always welcome. Thank you.

  • I received the following message when iTunes launches: "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CD's or DVD's are missing.  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning softwarre.  Please reinstall iTunes"

    Everytime I connect my iPod Touch (4th Gen) to my laptop, running Win 7 (64 bit) I get the message "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software.  Please reinstall iTunes"  I have reinstalled iTunes several times and it has not fixed the issue.  I am running ver 10.2.2.12 of iTunes.  I HAVE NOT installed any other burning software to my laptop either.  I haven't tried uninstalling iTunes and then re-installing it yet.  Would that perhaps fix the problem?  I've read that many users have had issues with the new version of the software and I was wondering if that might be causing my issue.  I'd like to point out that iTunes seems to work after getting rid of the message, but I haven't tried to burn any CDs or put music from a CD to my laptop.  Any ideas on how to get rid of the annoying message?
    I also am having trouble hooking up with our other computers using  Homegroup.  I noticed quite a lot of people are having the same issue and hopefully they come up with a fix for that soon.
    Thanks in advance.
