My burned CDs are all unrecognized

I've burned data from my MBP to CDs and It won't be recognized neither my MBP or any other computers.
It said that the CD ( which I burned the data on myself, can not be recognized )
The problem's not with the CDs, I've changed tons of'em.
But again, what's weird is that I don't have any problem with the DVDs.
What's going on with my MBP now?

After much searching and a LONG visit to the Genius Bar, here's what I got:
The problem: Despite normal playback in iTunes, the files for these songs have become corrupted, causing the sound to stop when converted to CD audio files and burned to disk. All other aspects of the file remain intact; thus, each song's "space on the disk" is still intact...it's just silent. This probably happened when the PC I copied the files from had a HD failure.
The solution: Delete and download again, or re-copy from the original CD--whatever you need to do to make a new file for the song on your HD.

The registry settings used by theiTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs are missing

I recently installed a programme to convert audio from a cassette player to digital and I found that my CD/DVD drive was missing. I deleted the offending programme and followed a "fix" by deleting the upper and lower filters as specified in the fix. My CD/DVD drive reappeared but now when I open iTunes I get the message “the registry settings used by theiTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs are missing” even though I am able to import tracks from a CD to iTunes. I haven't tried burning a CD yet but then I hardly ever do. I don't appear to have the problem but the message insists that I do!
I have removed iTunes and all associated files and folders from my computer and reinstalled iTunes three times but the message still appears every time I open iTunes. I use Vista. Can you help?
Many thanks.

Registry used by itunesdrivers for burning CDs are missing - help!

Hello All.
I have just upgraded my itunes from version 6 to the latest, and now it cannot see audio CDs or burn a CD. Everytime I start it up I get this message:
+Warning! The registry used by theitunesdrivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall itunes.+
If it helps, I have followed the information is this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5105496&#5105496
...but it still doesn't work. I also checked out this thread on Tech Support guy (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5105496&#5105496) but nothing there works either (although I haven't done the 'Delete SPTD.SYS from the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers folder.' etc instructions as I don't think I have daemon tools on this PC, unless they snuck in the back door somewhere). I also don't have other 'cd-burning software' - the PC came with a programme called Record Now, but there hasn't been a problem with that before.
I'm not that technical, and don't know why nothing seems to work now. I would be very grateful if anyone can offer some advice, or can point me in the direction of a thread on here that might shed further light on this mystery. I have reinstalled, restarted, uninstalled, rebooted - everything I can think of!
Thank you so much in advance,
Jayne

Hello again,
Thank you for posting those links. This is now solved, and I am so happy!
Basically I had to manually delete the gear files from the registry and then reinstall with the latest. Both of these instructions can be found via the links above, should anyone else come to this forum with the same issue. The instructions were clear, even to a novice like me.
Thanks again, Polydorus, for all your help.

"The registry setting used by itunes for burning CDs are missing"

Whenever I start up Itunes... I get this error message.
"The registry settings used by the Itunes drivers for importing & burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall Itunes".
Problem is... when I reinstall itunes nothing changes.
I've got Roxio cd-burning software installed on my computer. Is there a conflict with this software?
I can't burn songs from Itunes on to a CD. I haven't tried importing a CD or DVD but I'm guessing that won't work either.
Any advice??
Nano Windows XP

Burned Cds are very quiet

Hi,
When I have tried to burn my iTunes purchase music onto an audio cd, the cd plays extremely quiet (stereo volume near max just to hear). I do have "Use Sound Check" selected as per iTunes support but that hasn't helped.
One thing that I haved noticed is when I get the info for any of the songs in my iTunes. On the summary tab I have volume: -15.6 db ( or a varying negative number) regardless of the Sound Check option.
Could the negative volume number a possible cause and if so, how do I change that volume setting.
I can't
Thanks,
malonep

TS3299 Registry settings used by Itunes drivers for buring CDs are missing

So incredibly stuck on this and I have already removed and reinstalled Itunes about 3 times. I kept getting the message that "registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDS are missing. I followed all the instruction and even went to the Registry Editor and right clicked UpperFilters and was shocked to see that GEARAspiWDM" was already listed there--so the warning I keep getting that this driver is missing is wrong. Now what? Please help. I do not know how to work around this. Thank you

Have you tried redownloading the GEAR drivers from feed://www.gearsoftware.com/rss/GEAR-drivers-feed.php ?
Sometimes reinstalling them fixes the problem.
I also found this wiki post that might help - http://www.gearsoftware.com/wiki/index.php?title=CD/DVDdrives_disappearing_due_to_incorrect_registryentry

ITunes no longer recognize iPod or iPad, won't burn cds.

I've recently updated iTunes and it no longer recognises either my iPod or iPad mini. It also generates the "Registry settings used for importing and burning cds are missing etc" message on opening the program.
So far I've tried:
- Re-installing iTunes several times
- Stopping and restarting the Apple mobile device service
- Following the steps in the "iTunes for Windows: "Registry settings" warning when opening iTunes" troubleshooting guide, going into the registry key and adding in the GEARAspiWDM iTunes filter device.
- And reinstalling iTunes a couple more times
This doesn't seem to have had any effect - what's the next step I should take? I'm using Windows 8.

eta - I've also been following the steps from here but I've been unable to empty the Temp directory, even with no apps runnings, and attemping to verify the Apple Mobile Device USB driver is installed failed - the driver specified in the fix came up with an error that it wasn't compatible with my version of Windows, and there is no drivers folder in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\.

I am trying to burn some cds from my playlist on itunes, but my playlist shows many of my songs in light print and says that it will not burn because it is not a file, these are all songs I have purchased quite a while ago, how do i get them to files?

If they were songs you purchased from itunes, try redownloading them from your purchases...
if that doednt work, make sure the optuon to copy files to itunes media folder is checked in settings, then find and download from the net. and re-add them to your library
