  • Keep getting Disc Burner or software not found when trying to burn a CD

    I am not able to burn a playlist to a CD and get an error at the top of Itunes window "Disc Burner or Software Not Found". I have been able to burn CDs in the past with this same computer but had some issues with songs in itunes. Support had me uninstall Itunes and reinstall. I have also uninstalled the device in the device manager and re-installed it. I really don't know what to try except to ask for help here. I would appreciate any direction I can get. I have a Dell desktop XPS running on Windows 8.

    Hi daurel, 
    Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like you receive the error "Disc Burner or Software Not Found" when trying to burn CDs. You mention that you've already tried removing and reinstalling iTunes, and other drivers, and these are good steps. 
    If the situation continues, be sure to try the tips in this article:

  • I am receiving the message "disc burner or software not found" when trying to burn a playlist to a blank disc.

    I ran the diagnostics test and the program was unable to detect a prerecorded cd. This is a fairly new problem and I am not sure what to do.

  • I KEEP GETTING MESSAGE WHEN DISC BURNING, DISC BURNER OR SOFTWARE NOT FOUND

    i keep getting the message: disc burner or software not found when i try to burn a playlist...i know that i have a burner because i can use other apps to burn on that drive...could it be that my burner is not supported by itunes?

    There's a few different things that can cause that message, daniel, so we'd better have a closer look at your system.

  • Why does iTunes say "Disc burner or software not found"

    When I try to burn a CD using my internal CD/DVD combo drive, I get a message that says "Disc burner or software not found". I just upgraded to iTunes 6.0.1. The local Mac store couldn't get iTunes in 2 G5s and a G4 Powerbook to recognize the disc buners either, and they just upgraded to 6.0.1 too. Is this a bug?? Anyone else having problems??

    G4 400 Sawtooth / 5 years old   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   CD/DVD combo drive

    Greg, did the "Patchburn" really work for you?
    I had the same problem today. I have a smart playlist made up of: Kind>is>Protected AAC audio file. This smart play list allows me to keep track of music I've downloaded from the iTMS after inadvertently deleting the Purchased Music default playlist. Yes, I know a new “Purchased Music” playlist is created when you buy music again, but it doesn’t contain any of the songs you’ve already downloaded.
    When I went to burn this playlist (several hundred songs) to multiple audio CD format - I go the same result you got.
    "After asking to burn a play list it asks to insert CD, checks the media, checks the play list and then stops with the apple icon reappearing and NO error message."
    Apple tech support couldn’t help me - I found that out the hard way - after 1.5 hours on the phone. No, I haven't exceeded the 7 time burn limit either.
    I tried selecting all the songs in the smart playlist and creating a new [regular] playlist and tried to burn from that, but got the same result.
    Finally, I tried typing "Protected AAC audio file" from my main library in the search window, selected all the songs that resulted, created a new [regular] playlist from that selection and the burn was successful.
    It was a real pain and took almost 3 hours to figure out, but it worked. I'm going to try the "Patchburn" download talked about earlier, but don't know if that's the real problem.
    Yes, I have upgraded my SuperDrive, but iTunes recognizes it - Preferences>Advanced>Burning - if your drive shows up here then that's not the problem. Besides, I had the same problem when trying to burn to the original SuperDrive too.
    I think the problem may be deeper inside iTunes itself. Duh! Maybe something with Apple tightening their DRM scheme which may make us unwitting beta testers to see if they tightened the noose too tight or not. Just a guess.
    Any thoughts, anyone?

  • 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:
    Microsoft Windows 8 x64 Home Premium Edition (Build 9200)

    iTunes is not running in safe mode.
    WebKit accelerated compositing is enabled.
    HDCP is supported.
    Core Media is supported.
    **** External Plug-ins Information ****
    No external plug-ins installed.

    iTunesHelper 11.1.3.8 is currently running.
    Apple Mobile Device service 3.3.0.0 is currently running.
    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!
