Every time I launch itunes i get the following Warning message; "The registry settings used by the itunes drivers for importing and burning cds are missing. this can happen as a result of installing other cd burning software. Please reinstall itunes". I have tried removing all other burning software along with reinstalling latest version of itunes, no luck. Any advice?

Warning message when launching iTunes

I upgraded to iTunes8 and on launching iTunes, the following error message appears "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CD's and DVD's are missing. This can happen as a result of other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes." I then reinstalled the "Repair" from the downloaded file (iTunes8Setup), but the warning message still appears after rebooting my computer and launching iTunes . I then removed iTunes from my computer and reinstalled iTunes from this download (iTunes8Setup). I rebooted my computer and launched iTunes, same result. Any ideas on how I can fix this warning message. Please note this warning message did not appear when launching my previous version of iTunes.

I do not burn any CD's so don't have one to insert into the drive to test the diagnostics. No I am not running 64 bit version of XP.

ITunes Setup Assistant Warning Dialogue Box

I upgraded to version 6.0.4.2 and now a dialogue box appears each time I start iTunes.
It is titled "iTunes Setup Assistant" and has the following text: 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.
It does go away when I click on the Ok button and I can import and burn songs so it seems be just a nuisance. How do I get rid of it permanently?

hi HaryCary!
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.
for some advanced techniques for dealing with that error message, see:
iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting CD issues caused by device filters
but if you'd prefer to try some quicker and dirtier techniques, you could:
(1) reboot and repair
reboot the PC (very important!) and do a repair install of itunes. go to your add/remove programs control panel, select itunes, click "change/remove" and then select "repair".
if no joy with that:
(2) download and install the GEAR drivers itunes uses for burning and importing
GEAR drivers
use the first link on that page, not the one that talks about "gearsec compatibility". if you have Norton Ghost on your PC, read the instructions very carefully. if you still run into trouble with Ghost after the driver install, see:
Message: "Insert the "Norton Ghost 10.0" disk and click OK." after installing iTunes 6

Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926?viewlocale=en_US

After upgrading, I am getting the dreaded "iTunes has stopped working" message. I've followed all of the troubleshooting tips on the forum without success. Fortunately, it works on my other computers. Running Win7 pro.

After upgrading iTunes, I'm getting the dreaded "iTunes has stopped working" message after launch. I've tried the troubleshooting tips on the Forum without success (though most are pretty old...). Fortunately, iTunes works on my other computers, but I have iPad backups on this one that I'd like to keep. Anybody else with this issue??

My inclination is that it is something in the projects or in the manuals being linked that is the culprit because that is where the consistency lies - projects were created identically and manuals all follow identical formats. The problem typically only occurs after the project has been successfully created and the manual is subsequently updated and I am syncing the manual in RH so I can generate a new AIR file. This is the first time the project has consistently corrupted every time I try to generate the Word document after linking it in RH. This makes little sense to me since it generated fine a couple weeks ago and I did nothing special when I updated it in Word yet when I tried to update it in RH, that is when it originally corrupted. The bottom line is that I cannot 100% trust that any project I run will work the next time. I end up just crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.
My problems seemed to start once I went to RH9 (from RH8) because we had upgraded from MS Office 2003 to the 2010 version and I needed 9 for the docx extension. Like I said, it is not all the time - I can be beating my head against the wall getting one of the projects to work, then create 3 more projects that have no problems and then the next one leaves me wanting to throw my PC through a window....
Deleting the CPD does not corrupt the project, it just removes my default linked document that allows me to circumvent linking the styles individually for that project. Once I have a manual linked and I remove the CPD, it just creates a new one. What I am saying is that if I delete the CPD file, it does not prevent the project from corrupting nor does it make the corrupted project viable again.
thanks!

Get error message when launching iTunes

Hi I have a problem with iTunes it's probaly my own fault but i hope someone in here know what i possibnly could do. I succesfully installed iTunes and used it for about two hours, then the electricity shut down in the house while iTunes was running. When i tried to start my PC again and launched iTunes i got an error message from windows, askin me if I wanted to send them a report of the problem.
i tried to uninstall iTunes and install it again, didnt work. I tried to clean my computer as good as icould clean registry run scan disc and so on, and then install it again no help didnt work.
Do you know what i possibly could do?
:: Kasper Sørensen

let's keep pushing our luck with the Windows troubleshooting techniques ... so far this is proceeding just like a standard PC troubleshoot ...
okay, that's the result that suggests that you've got a problem with the itunes preferences files in your usual XP User Account. there's a different set of preference files in each XP user account, which is why we can get this "crash in one account, launch in another" behavior.
if you've got damaged preference files, we can usually get past this by rebuilding the preference files in the usual account.
quit itunes. log out of the new account and back into the usual account.
find and delete the following two files:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
and
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
(“<username>” here will be the name of the account you’re having difficulties with.)
You might have to turn on "show hidden files" to find them. (Right click "my computer", select open, select Tools menu -> Folder Options. Select View tab, "show hidden files" radio button is in the center scrolling panel.) these will be rebuilt the next time you try to launch itunes in your usual user account.
(the itunes setup assistant will run, you'll be asked to agree to the license again, and so forth.)
after the setup assistant has finished, does itunes finish launching without the crash?

I get a message upon launching iTunes that the registry setting for burning are missing.

I get a message upon launching iTunes that the registry setting for burning CDs and DVDs are missing. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I didn't touch the registry. iTnes is fine except, of course, I cannot burn songs to CD.

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.)

WARNING message when i start up itunes

although my Itunes is working properly it keeps giving me a WARNING message saying "it was not properly installed. If you wish to import of burn cds you need to reinstall." Is there a way to fix this problem or even get rid of the message i've tried updating cd drivers, the latest itunes, and re installing itunes. so on.... can anyone give me some help?

By chance I read this article, really useful by danny michel:
I quote: "Whew! Now my Apple iTunes version 7.4.1.2 is working again on my Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit (x64) operating system! Ironically, unlike I reported earlier today -- the import, ripping, and CD-burning inside Apple iTunes was still working. However, I kept receiving the pesky Apple iTunes Setup Assistance window with the following message:
"iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs, you need to reinstall iTunes."
First, let me say to the Apple iTunes folks that this message was completely mis-leading. The product still functioned correctly, just the error messaging was inappropriate. Not really the best user experience. (Yes, I know 64-bit operating systems are 'technically' not supported by Apple. How long can they continue this though? It is bordering on unreasonable.)
Here is how you can fix the issue: If it works for you, please let me know with a comment below!
1. The problem is with the Gear Software driver for 64-bit operating systems which is integrated into iTunes. What you need to do is visit the Gear Software website and download the right driver for your operating system and processor type. Here is the website: Driver Updates - GEAR Software, Multimedia Made Easy, GEARSEC
2. The right version for me was the middle one: Driver installer for AMD64 and Intel EM64T processors: Windows XP Professional x64, Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition, Windows Vista x64 Edition. I downloaded the file and saved to my desktop.
3. I ran the installation and completed the install for the Gear Software 64-bit drivers. It is just a series of 'next' and then it completes.
4. Fire up iTunes version 7.4.1.2 and it works as it is supposed to again!"
(http://www.ny-dev.com/forums/f215/fixed-itunes-not-properly-installed-1639/)
And also by Muldini on a previous topic:
I don't understand why Apple support doesn't react on this, as the solution is ridiculously easy.
You need a 64bit version of the driver, install the one you find here:
http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/drivers.cfm
Use "Driver installer for AMD64 and Intel EM64T processors".
Works like a charm.
And also by ccfoodog:
Thanks, this indeed worked for me.
I'm going to leave this set to 'No, my question has not been answered yet.' since as you point out, we shouldn't need a 3rd party driver to make Apple's software work.
Thanks!
And also by poppercorn:
WOW!!! Thanks a billion, Muldini! I have Vista 64bit and ever since I installed iTunes on it, I never got the burner to work on it and that stupid error message would pop up everytime I started the program. But I just installed the driver now and for the first time ever on this computer the program started without a hitch and it was able to detect my burner! Now I can go to sleep in peace tonight.
Apple should address this ASAP. Like you said, I also don't understand why they haven't settled this seemingly simple issue yet. With all of the thousands of Vista 64bit users out there, I'm sure we're not the only ones with this problem.
Go ahead people - if you're having the problem that you've read here and you're using Vista 64 bit, go and download those gearsoft drivers! I'm glad I did.
I think it is enough......

Every device (iphone4, iphone4s, ipad2) I try to hook up to iTunes gives me a message "this device cannot connect because the apple mobile device service is not setup" does anyone have ideas as to why it keeps popping up? It just started doing this.

I tunes won't open. No warning message, just the first terms agreement opens and when i agree itunes stopes running. I just wiped and reinstalled everything including windows. I updated everything fully. Deleted spybot unintalled and reintalled the newest and one older version of itunes. still nothing. I tried to delete some files that is hidden as directed by apple. I have been trading emails with customer support but it has been no help at all. I am running Windows XP. Before i wiped my computer I ran itunes with no problem, on this computer, this week.

WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! JUST WANTED TO UPDATE Y'ALL THAT BY SOME STROKE OF HEAVENLY GLORY, ITUNES DECIDED TO WORK AGAIN!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
How did I do it you ask??
after all the stuff I updated you about, I tried one last time to install....still didn't work...so once again I wiped my system of everything itunes and apple related
well today I was trying to watch a video that required me to get the quicktime plug in, and it too me to a page that was a quicktime install + itunes 7.blah blah blah instead of the other way around
well, don't ask me why, but low and behold
IT WORKS!!!!
I HAVE MY ITUNES BACK!!! (JUMPS FOR JOY)
Just wanted to share my shear elation

I'm having the same registry issues with my CDROM, getting the warning when iTunes starts up. I've followed the article on how to add the upperFIlter to the registry and it solves the warning message but the DVD/CD writer disappears completely.

I'm having thet same registry issues with my CD-/DVD as is talked about in one of the fix articles I've found here. I added the UpperFilter entry to the registry since it was not there and restarted. This fixes the warning message but then there's no CD/DVD device shown at all in windows. I can put it back to normal and vice versa and get the same results, but I can't get this issue fixed. When I get the registry warning on starting iTunes, I can still rip from CDs and my DVD burner works just fine using other programs.
Any more ideas?

This fixes the warning message but then there's no CD/DVD device shown at all in windows.
That symptom suggests the afs.sys issue ... but there's some other things that might cause it too.
We'd better check to see if we can find what's going on.
Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here.

Warning message about CMP problem when launching query - how to suppress?

Dear Experts
How can I suppress warning message that did not stop the query from running?
I encounter this message when 1st launching it. The next run , it does not show. But if user run it i think may still show. How to suppress it?
The message is :
=================
Characteristic [Z_I_NN_FN]Application Sub Grou of the MultiProvider is not provided by the PartProvider ZC_00N; this means it is not identified. However, [Z_I_NN_FN]Application Sub Grou is compounded to 0COMP_CODE and 0COMP_CODE is identified with characteristic Z_I_MM_FM for InfoProvider ZC_006.
In this case, there is a compounding or CMP problem with [Z_I_NN_FN]Application Sub Grou in the MultiProvider for PartProvider ZC_006.
Processing characteristics with CMP problems in the data manager is very complicated and can have a negative impact on performance. The data manager cannot use SIDs for these characteristics (at least not in the corresponding InfoProvider) because the initial SID = 0 for [Z_I_NN_FN]Application Sub Grou is not the same as the initial compound key for 0COMP_CODE [Z_I_NN_FN]Application Sub Grou (that is, when real values are posted in ZC_006 for 0COMP_CODE).
For this reason, hierarchies for [Z_I_NN_FN]Application Sub Grou must often be read at leaf level. Furthermore, it is not possible to use hierarchy aggregates for [Z_I_NN_FN]Application Sub Grou or for the remaining InfoProviders.
System Response
Where possible, the system tries to avoid negative impacts on performance. Unfortunately, such performance issues cannot be avoided if the correct results are to be displayed.
Procedure
When working with important MultiProviders, you should always avoid characteristics with CMP problems.
====================
Please advise how to address CMP problem error message when launching query.
regards
Pascal

Hi Pascal,
Why dont you select those compounding objects in Multiprovider itself.As far as i understand while activating the MP it throws an error if compounding objects are not selected.
One more thing to add which i noticed you can try running the query on analyzer if you are running it on RSRT.
You can see the data even if MP is not active on analyzer but not on RSRT.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
AL
