KDE doesn't recognize CDs and DVDs after update.[Solved]

Since the upgrade of KDE to 4.5.3 (but I'm not sure for before that) I can't get any Cds or DVDs to work.
I had few ideas to what could cause this, but they all proved wrong:
1)I forgot to load the modules when compiling the ck-kernel with streamline option. this isn't the case as it also doesn't work on kernel26-lts.
2)K3B is responsible for this. After the upgrade of KDe the next thing that could brake it was K3B, but actually K3B is the only KDE thing that still recognizes the DVDs and CDs. Did K3B change the premissions?
If that's the case how do i fix it. i followed the Wiki guide, and it still doesn't work. K3Bsettings don't give me any other option other than the one that is default.
3)I've installed kde-cdemu-manager from AUR, but I also removed it so that shouldn't be the problem, right?
And that's all the things I installed up to the point at which I noticed that KDE doesn't want to mount and doesn't even recognises CDs and DVDs.
But I could also post my pacman.log if you wish.
Thanks for help in advance.

Silly me I should check the ArchWiki first: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HA … zed_by_HAL
Basically I only had to remove my cd and dvd rom from fstab and everything works.
(I also just in case removed the usb from it too, even though it worked, and it still does.)
PS.: Actually the Wiki is wrong. If you remove the /etc/hal/fdi/information/media-check-disable-storage_model_your-CD/DVD-model.fdi, HAL will just create new one after reboot. So changing it from false to true solves the problem.

IPhone doesn't recognize my SIM Card after update to iOS 5.1

I updated my iOS to 5.1 yesterday and after that my iPhone doesn't recognize my SIM Card. What has happened to my iPhone?

It was probably jailbroken or hacked to unlock it. If that's the case it is now bricked. You may be able to find an answer on Google, but you cannot get help here.

My Mac Mini doesn't recognize my Avengers DVD--it keeps saying "Supported disc not available." I've tried other DVD's which work, but not this one. itunes and everything else has been updated to the newest versions. Help?

I have ALL the exact same symptoms as on my home computer.
It sure sounds to me like something on the iPod is broken. If it's under warranty then I would send it back for repair. If not, check out some of the web repair services, such as iPodResQ etc.

Apple drives in MacBooks do not support mini DVDs. They cannot be injected or ejected properly. Some of them work in tray-loaders like on the Mac Pro.
Yes, make an appointment and take it to the Genius Bar.

When starting iTunes I continually get an 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."

When starting iTunes I continually get an error message " The registry Settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.

I have unistalled and reinstalled iTunes several times and have cleaned up the registry using a 3rd party Windows utility. Any tips on removing this error message for good?

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

Every time I open Itunes or plug in my Ipod or Ipad I get an error message that the registery settings for burning cds and dvds are missing and to reinstall Itunes. i've done this several times but the message won't go away.

Every time I plug my Ipod Nano or Ipad 2 into my computer I get the same error message. It says that registery settings are missing for importing burning cds and dvds due ot other burning software and to untinstall itunes and reinstall Itunes. I've done this several times and I'm not having any trouble importing cds at all and I can't make the message go away. It always comes up before Itunes will open.

I just installed the latest version of iTunes, but when I went to open iTunes I got a message saying registry settings used to for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing and I should reinstall iTunes. Really?

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

The drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDS are missing, it advised reinstalling but a reinstall does not fix

When I open Itunesthis message appears
"The regidtry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and bruning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes"
I have tried reinstalling mulitple times and it has not helped. I am not aware that any other CD burning softawre being installed.
Also, when I plug in my I-pod another message appears saying
"This Ipod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes."
The 64-bit version is already installed and again reinstalling hasn't helped.
What is wrong? Can anyone help?

I think you might have two different things going on at once here.
Let's try fixing the following one first:

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!
David

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...

Time machine doesn't recognize my old backups after clean install

Time machine doesn't recognize my old backups after clean install of OSX Lion
I also tried using migration assistant with no success.
I just want to use TM to restore files and folders SELECTIVELY.
Does anyone also know how to fully restore my iTunes data? (purchaces, music, iphone backups, etc)
Thank you in advance

Oh yeah, and the other thing is, now I CAN'T go back in time using my Time Machine back-up . . . It says I've never backed up now (I guess because this is a fresh install that's TECHNICALLY correct), but I restored from this Time Machine file . . . Surely I've done something wrong that can be fixed. Help, please?
