ITunes won't recognize my internal cd-rw/dvd-rw drive, but my Toast does???

I purchased a new internal cd/dvd-rw drive, installed it, and everything functions perfectly. It even works fine in Toast. But...my ITunes will not recognize my new drive. Can anyone help me with this problem?
Also, I'm able to burn ITunes songs in Toast. But some of the songs have a little lock inside the Itunes logo, and it says I can only burn those locked songs in ITunes. Well, I can't do that because ITunes won't recognize my drive. Is there any way around the locked songs?
Any HELP would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Is there any way around the locked songs?
No, the protection scheme prevents other applications from burning protected music.
You can try to install a new driver/profile for your drive by using PatchBurn (www.patchburn.de). iTunes might recognize your new drive.
Download the Panther (10.3) version.
Hope this helps.

  • ITunes Won't Recognize My Music Library on Ext Hard Drive

    Hey All,
    Just got a iBook G4 and I'm trying to access my music on iTunes, but I can't. Is there a trick I'm missing here? I set the folder location to the Ext Drive, but still nothing. Everything work with out issue on my old iBook G3.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Pointing iTunes to a folder simply tells iTunes to put all new music there. You need to File -> *Add to library* then select that music folder.

  • TS3716 I downloaded the new version of iTunes today and now iTunes won't recognize my iPod. Windows can see it but iTunes can't see it so it won't sync.

    Before the update was applied all was fine. I rebooted both the PC and the iPod with no success. I reinstalled iTunes and rebooted with no success. I tried different cables and different slots for the cable, none worked.

  • ITunes won't recognize iPhone 5 after I attempted to download iOS 7

    I tried to download iOS 7 and I got an error message and iTunes said the update failed. Since that moment, my phone has shown the iTunes logo with the cable, prompting me to plug my phone into my computer and sync it with iTunes. Conveniently enough however, iTunes won't recognize my iPhone when I plug it in, but it will recognize my iPod touch when I plug that in to the computer. I have restarted my computer, reinstalled iTunes numerous times and yet nothing has worked. So essentially I have no ability to restore my phone and no ability access it in any way shape or form.....any help?!

    What version of iTunes are you running?

  • Just updated my iPhone.  iTunes won't recognize my iPhone. I get "internal device" problem.

    Just updated my iPhone.  iTunes won't recognize my iPhone. I get "internal device" problem. Help!

    Haven't heard back from them. Took it the adapter to the Apple Store with one of the mics and the Blue Shirts said it was the proper adapter.

  • 2 things: iPhoto isn't automatically copying all my imported photos into an iPhoto album folder AND ever since i upgraded my MacBook 120GB to Snow Leopard, iTunes won't recognize my iPhone.

    So i have a 120GB MacBook that's about 4 years old (just updated to Snow Leopard--been working in Iraq, i'm a little behind).
    Never had a problem with it.
    I also have an iPhone 4 which i've had for about a year (up-to-date software as of about a month ago).
    Never had a problem with it.
    I've had iTunes for years of course (up-to-date).
    Never had a problem.
    1.
    Now my iTunes won't recognize my iPhone since the Snow Leopard update.
    iPhoto will recognize my phone, but iTunes won't.
    Went through all the preferrences and i can't find anything that isn't set properly.
    iTunes Helper is used during startup.
    Everything seems fine.
    Any help?
    2.
    I use a WD external hard drive to back my Mac up every week or so.
    I recently realized that half of my pictures from iPhoto are not copied to the external.
    They haven't been transfering over.
    So i snooped through my folders and as it turns out, iPhoto hasn't been copying the pictures i import from my iPhone to iPhoto and saving them as .jpg files in the pictures folder (or iPhoto album or whatever) like i think it's supposed to.
    My pictures folder has approx half of all my pictures in it, meaning at some point (probably 2 years ago) iPhoto stopped making the file copies of my imported pictures.
    I do not know why.
    No idea how to fix it.
    If i were able to fix that (with your help), would all the pictures that haven't been copied automatically copy to my pictures folder once i had the issue resolved or would there be a lot of dragging and dropping?
    I've been clumsily and sloppily copying all my pictures to a new folder on my desktop and manually transferring that folder to a thumb drive (which i keep in my pocket) and my external (just so i have them in some form) in case my computer crashes or a mortar shell lands on my room and blows my computer up.
    Can anyone please help me with any of this?
    I can't just stoll down to the Apple store to ask the Genius Bar (I'm in Baghdad) and i don't have Apple Care so no one will help me on the phone when i call Apple.
    Thanks so much.

    hey mill1640,
    Did you ever get your iPhone to register with iTunes? I just upgraded as well to Snow Leopard, and my my isn't recognized at all also.
    If you did get this resolved, I would appreciate a little suggestion in the right direction.
    Many thanks,
    Josh

  • Itunes won't recognize iPod after installing MediaMonkey..

    Hi,
    I recently switched from Itunes to MediaMonkey, and I'm very happy. But my girlfriend still uses iTunes. And now her iTunes won't recognize neither her or my iPod when I connect either of them. Windows and MediaMonkey recognizes them perfectly. iTunes just comes up with this error message:
    "The software necessary to communicate with iPod isn't correctly installed. Install iTunes again before installing iPod-software."
    I've tried uninstalling and re-installing iTunes a number of times. I even tried uninstalled MediaMonkey, but nothing works..
    PLEASE HELP ME, I'M GOING INSANE HERE =(

  • Itunes won't recognize ipod and videos gone

    I have a 30GB Video Ipod and itunes won't recognize it. I have to keep putting the music files back in and converting them. Also the Movie and TV Shows I bought disappeared. I have a Windows XP Home Edition, and itunes 7. I downloaded itunes about 4 or 5 months ago, it that helps. My ipod shows up in my computer though. I want to know:
    1. How can I get itunes to recognize my ipod
    2. How do I get itunes to keep and remember my files
    3. How do I get my videos back?
    4. Which version of itunes should I get and how do I get it?

  • ITunes won't recognize iPod - Extreme frustration!

    So iTunes won't recognize my new IPod Video. It works fine with my kids' shuffle, mini and 4th gen but when I connect my new iPod I just get a window with: "iTunes cannot read the contents of the ipod "IPOD". Use the IPOD Software Updater Application to restore the IPOD to factory settings"
    I've been trying since Christmas to get this thing working. I've tried the five R's, I've tried every combination of everything suggested on the Apple site, (including posts here) I've tried stuff from other apple users sites. No joy. I just got off the phone with the help rep from Apple. He talked me through the MSCONFIG stuff, no joy still. He told me to go to depot.info.apple.com/ipod and fill out the forms and they'd send me a package to put my iPod in to send them so they could fix it. It's personalized so it'll take an extra 3 weeks to fix. Needless to say, I'm very frustrated and extremely disapointed.
    Merry Christmas.

  • Just upgraded macbook to Snow Leopard, and now itunes won't recognize my iphone.  I tried turning all off, and on.  I have the newest version of itunes.  Will I have to reset my iphone (and also ipod touch?), and if so, does it mean I lose anything?

    I just upgraded macbook to SnowLeopard 10.6.3 and now itunes won't recognize my iphone.  I tried turning everything off and restarting.  I have the latest version of itunes.  If I have to reset the phone (and ipod touch), what does that mean?  Will I lose anything? How long will it take?  thanks

    Start iTunes.  Make sure you really are running the version you think you are.  Sometimes people end up with two copies, different versions.

    You say you are running Snow Leopard 10.6.3.  That version will not run the latest iTunes which requires 10.6.8  If you need iTunes 10.7 you have to be running 10.6.8
