ITunes says registry settings for importing and burning CDs or DVDs are missing.

i get a message after installing itunes 10.7 that registry settings are missing for importing and burning CD/DVDS. Says probably due to installing other burning sofware. Re-install ituenes.  I never installed anything between the older 10.6 and the new 10.7........just updated when it said new Apple software was available.  The update process seemed to delete the 10.6 install and then re-install a new version of itunes, 10.7.  Then the registry settings error message started coming up each time I start itunes. What's the proper way to re-install?
Thanks for any suggestions.

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.)

  • TS1436 error message: registry settings for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. I tried uninstalling and re-installing iTunes but it isn't working. Any advice?

    I may have deleted some files...as I recently uninstalled a burning software, but even re-installing that software has not fixed the issue.

  • Missing registry settings for importing and burning?

    When I start iTunes, I keep getting the message saying that "registry settings are missing for importing and burning CDs and DVDs. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
    I've reinstalled iTunes ten times (and I've done the "Repair" option through Microsoft Window's Control Panel). Nothing works. I keep getting this message.
    (I have QuickTime and RealPlayer already installed on my computer, in addition to the Microsoft Windows cd burning tools.)
    Can anyone please tell me what I need to do?

    I too have experienced the same problem. The fix to add an UpperFilters with "GEARAspiWDM" followed by a return only resolved the error message relating to the warning indicating that the iTunes drivers used for importing or burning CD's & DVD's are missing. While I can now import CDs to iTunes 8 still no luck in getting it to burn. I have installed the GEAR drivers and followed the steps in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302976
    but to no avail. I also tried the suggestion related to Vista that appears below but to no avail. Hope Apple has spent at much time trying to eliminate this problem as I have trying to fix it!
    From GEAR works:
    It appears that the AFS driver does not meet Windows Vista driver signing requirements and thus is not compatible with Vista. As a result, the AFS driver prevents the GEARAspiWDM.sys driver from functioning correctly resulting in CD/DVD drives ‘disappearing’ in Windows Explorer and applications using the GEARworks API, such as Apple iTunes and Norton Ghost.
    Solution:
    Disabling the AFS driver appears to resolve the issue.
    This can be done by renaming the afs.sys driver file in the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers directory to afs.txt and rebooting the system. After the reboot the CD/DVD drives should re-appear in Windows Explorer and be available in GEAR and GEARworks powered product (such as Apple iTunes and Norton Ghost).
    Note that disabling the AFS driver may result in the loss of the CD recording functionality in the above mentioned software that uses the AFS driver.

  • "registry settings for importing and burning are missing..."

    I have installed itunes and the appropriate quicktime, but am not able to import any music. When I put cds in the drive, they do not even show up. I'm not sure if there is some other program blocking this importing or showing up of cds, but I get a message that says,
    "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."
    However, the reinstalling doesn't fix it, and I'm not sure what to change or fix about the other cd player/burners on my computer to make itunes work properly (the laptop is new, and came with windows media, jukebox, etc...). How do I make itunes the default cd burner? Or how do I fix this problem otherwise?
    Thanks.

    If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
    Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

    iTunes for Windows: "Registry settings" warning when opening iTunes

  • Error msg at launch says "Registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. ... Please reinstall iTunes."

    Each time I launch iTunes (latest version) on Windows 7 (w/ latest system updates) I receive the following error msg:
    "Warning! 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."
    When I click on "OK" iTunes completes the launch process and the application functions properly.  This error msg appears without fail every time I launch the app.
    I have reinstalled iTunes four times and continue to receive this message.  iTunes is set in the system Control Panel as the default program for all functions that iTunes uses.  I never burn CDs or DVDs and have never attempted to do so on this machine.  I have had iTunes on this computer since I bought it last November and never had a problem with it until 2 months ago when this message began popping up.  I did not notice any action I took that caused this, in terms of creating conflicts.
    I hope someone can assist me in finding a way to stop this annoying error!  Thanks!

  • Registry settings used by iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs

    I'm using Windows 7, started getting this error 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."
      So, I tried an iTunes repair. Still got the same message.  Then I uninstalled iTunes, still got the same message. Then I followed instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to completely remove all iTunes files and restart computer, then reinstall iTunes - that still hasn't worked.
    My daughter's Ipod is an IPod Nano 8GB don't know how to tell what generation it is and can't find that info on the iPod or the box or the booklet... (it's her IPod that we're trying to work with here).

  • The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing

    Error on Itunes start-up.  Must click OK before Itunes will start.
    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 using their complete uninstall instructions.
    iTunes does seem to work after OK is clicked, I'm just tired of having to hit OK.
    Other thoughts...  This started after the iTunes update required to go to IOS 6 for my devices.  I'm able to sync my devices. It is possible that ZoneAlarm (my Antivirus and Firewall) got in the way at install.  It flagged something and I denied it.  I was doing multiple things at the time and the flag did not have any indication about iTunes.  I have tried shutting down ZoneAlarm for the install and that has not helped either.
    Will try another full uninstall that includes uninstalling ZoneAlarm...
