  • Has anyone seen this error message: "Disc burner or software not found"?

    Two weeks ago I successfully burnt a CD of Word files. Yesterday I put in a blank DVD and got a formatting error message. I didn't think too much of it (thought I had bad discs).
    Tonight I tried to burn a CD out of iTunes. I got this error message: "Disc burner or software not found"
    I suspect this is not good.
    Can anyone help? Details on the DVD drive below.
    Thanks a lot.

    No moving or renaming files, except for I deleted a file related to Adobe Acrobat to remove a toolbar thing. But nothing other than that.
    Are there specific files I should be looking out for?
    Thanks again.

  • When trying to burn a playlist to disc I keep getting the message 'disc burner or software not found'. What can I do to fix it?

    Each time I try to burn a cd from a playlist, I keep getting the message 'disc burner or software not found' I haven't changed anything recently. Why has this suddenly started happening?

    It's c. 14 months old and sometimes it gets hot...

  • 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.
    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.

  • When i try to burn  from library disc burner and software not found message appears

    when i try to burn a disc from library the message disc burner and software not found appears.

    Hello,
    I am having the same problem - "Disc burner or software not found" and I can't create a new CD from iTunes "burn playlist to disc".  I see many others asking the same question and I don't see answers.  I have spent all day uninstalling and reloading iTunes, testing, etc.  Even iTunes support said they couldn't help me. 
    I have Windows 7, and I can't really use iTunes without having the CD burner working.  I have wasted hours and will gladly pay for help, but iTunes support said "no".

  • When trying to burn a cd in iTunes, message says no disc burner or software found.  What do I do?

    When trying to burn a cd in i
    Tunes, meassage appears "no disc burner or software found".  The last time I burned a cd was about a month ago and had no problem.  What do I do?

    Windows computer (as it says in your profile) or Mac (the forum in which you posted)?
    Restart your computer.

  • ITunes cannot find disc burner or software

    I quit burning a playlist one song in, now the CD won't eject from my computer and iTunes tells me "disc burner or software not found". ***???

    Reboot, manually eject the CD, repair permissions and see if it works. Generally on all macs interrupting CD or DVD burns and even in other applications, like Toast causes all manner of confusion. Let it finish next time even if you change your mind since the CD is ruined anyway.
