My program does not recognize my DVD drive and says, " No burner available". How do I fix this? It worked until one month ago

I have an HP Computer., approximately one year old. Since I bought the program,( about 8 months ago) it had worked correctly, but last month, I could not save projects to DVD because program said, " No burner detected" . Welcome any help as I am trying to convert Family VHS tapes to DVD.

What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
Assuming for now you are aiming at DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc and not AVCHD on DVD disc.
We can try at least 3 different approaches to restore Premiere Elements burner location recognition for your DVD/CD burner (assumed not Blu-ray DVD burner).
For now, I am going to assume Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
1. Delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary, the whole 12.0 Folder in which it exists.
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
12.0
and in the 12.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then you delete the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited.
2. Deactivate the program from within the opened project - in version 12, Expert workspace Help Menu/Sign Out. Then uninstall the program via the usual Control Panel route. Next do a ccleaner run through (regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts) to get rid of leftovers from incomplete uninstalls and reinstalls.
CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
Finally reinstall the program with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
3. Refresh the DVD drivers.
CD, DVD drive not recognized after Adobe application install | Windows
We will be watching for your results.
Thanks.

Add On...at the onset, please assure that the issue still exists with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.

I'm also on iPhone 4, iOS 6, and have exactly the same problem. I've tried resetting privacy settings, turning restrictions on and off, deleting and reinstalling apps. Nothing seems to work. The lists of apps in privacy settings are all empty, except for location services. When using Tweetbot the app is regularly asking for permission to access my twitter account, but even when I allow that, the app doesn't show in privacy settings. When I try to go into the camera roll from the Facebook app, the app tells me I have to allow access to the camera roll from the privacy settings - which I can't do since the app is not listed there.

Windows dvd maker does not recognize the dvd drive in this computer

I have windows 7 release candidate on my old desktop and this newish notebook. Windows DVD maker works fine on the desktop but on this Lenovo 3000 N200 it will not recognize the built in dvd drive. I have checked with Device Manager and the software is up to date and the device is working normally. I can make DVD movies using a free program called DVD Flick. DVD Flick recognizes the DVD burner, so why won't Windows DVD Maker work??

Hi Ppprrrggg,
The following information was copied from Troubleshoot problems with creating a DVD-Video using Windows DVD Maker
My DVD failed to burn. What can I do?
Try one or more of the following:
Verify that the DVD burner is connected properly to your computer and powered on, and that any necessary software drivers for the DVD burner are installed. You can check your hardware settings in the Device Manager by doing the following:
1.
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2.
Click Hardware and Sound.
3.
Click Device Manager.
Make sure that the videos you're trying to burn are not corrupted. To see whether the videos you want to burn are corrupted, try playing or viewing them using Windows Media Player. If the files don't play using the Player, Windows DVD Maker cannot burn them.
Choose a slower burning speed for your DVD burner by doing the following:
1.
Return to the Add pictures and video to the DVD page, and then click Options.
2.
In the DVD burner speed box, select Medium or Slow.
Does it work?
Thanks .
I uninstalled DVD Flick and followed the steps above but no luck.....any other ideas??? Apart from the fact that Windows DVD Maker SHOULD work I find it extra annoying because I think it is a very good program....it's better than DVD Flick, and besides not wanting to fork out money I would prefer to have nothing to do with programs like Nero.
Hi,
When you click DVD Maker-what exactly happens?Or what kind of error is?
when i click dvd
when I click dvd burner I select videos 2 burn.....videos I can watch on windows media player. After selecting the slowest burn speed I click on ''burn'' just like I do on my 7 year old desktop (which will then burn a dvd movie). But on this notebook I get a little window......''windows dvd maker''. It reads ''dvd burner not found. A dvd burner was not found. Make sure a dvd burner is connected and installed then try again.'' How useless is that???!!! I find it hard to believe this problem cannot be solved. Also I don't believe I can make the problem any clearer!!! Windows has no problem finding the dvd drive if I want to burn a data dvd so how come I can't burn a dvd movie using windows??? please help!!!!!

Windows 7 does not recognize cd/dvd drive. Will not burn a disc

           In November 2013, I bought a refurbished hp Compaq 7900 convertible minitower, Product No. NJ3226UC#ABA, 32-bit. Windows 7 and WMP 12 were installed by the company that refurbished it.   WMP's  play, rip, burn, sync worked perfectly.
           I made the mistake of installing itunes. I purchased music and made a playlist from my library and itunes. I tried to burn the playlist with Memorex discs.  WMP burn would kick out the cd at 99% complete. I tried a different brand of disc and had the same problem. The message each time was 'Windows Media Player Encountered an error while burning. Verify that the burner is connected properly and that the disc is clean and not damaged.' I tried burning a disc using itunes burner but it didn't do anything.
           First, I removed every Apple application from my computer. Then I ran Microsoft CD/DVD trouble shooter. It didn't correct the problem and gave me the message "cannot locate CD/DVD burner". I ran trouble shooter in the Control Panel selected System Security's, Find and Fix. Then Selected Configure a Device . Results were 'Hardware may not be detected try to do what you wanted to do again' I tried 2-3 times. WMP would not burn.  Tried Apple for help and didn't want to reinstall itunes. I reinstalled Quick Time.   Followed Microsoft's 5-step resolutions:
          1. Used the troubleshooter in Control Panel.
         2. Ran CD/DVD Fixit trouble shooter.
          3. Manually fix corrupted registry.
         4. Update or reinstall driver.
          5.  Create a sub registry key.
I tried to burn after every step and got the same result.it burned to 99% and kicked out. I used system restore back to May 15, 2014 thaat was before installing iTunes. No burn.   Checked driver and response was that 'Driver is working. No problem was found'.    Today, ran Troubleshooter in ControI Panel and this was the messsage, 'Configuration Settings May Be Incorrect'. How do I correct this? Help! What next?

Hi,
You were given some very good advice on your other post. I ran into a very similar issue when I had installed iTunes and the end result was that I had to do a factory recovery back to a day one condition. Then I had to do a slow software installation process, checking every time I had installed a third party application. I got tripped up a couple of times but determined that I had to install iTunes before installing other CD/DVD media programs (Roxio,WMP and Cyberlink).
Do a fresh OS installation without the extra third party software and then install Imgburn. Then use Imgburn to determine the capabilities of your optical drive and match the media specifications those detected by Imgburn to the media type that you are using. Do not use cheap media as the firmware in your optical drive may not support it. I prefer to use Verbatim media. Now see if Imgburn will burn your optical media before attempting to install iTunes and other CD/DVD optical media programs.

DVD Player 4.6.5 does not recognize external DVD drive

I had to get an external DVD drive (Sony DRX-S70U) for my Intel iMac after the built in one crapped out. I just put in a DVD and when DVD Player 4.6.5 opens it says "There was an initialization error - A valid DVD drive could not be found. [-70012]"
But the DVD appears on the Desktop. So it knows its there, just DVD Player won't work. Is there any way to change the preferences or anything so that DVD Player will work? I know I can download a 3rd party software, but I'd like to use the Mac stuff if possible.
Thanks!

Try this.. Read the NOTE in 10. FIRST.
1. Create a New User: Sign in as New User.
2. Dbl Click HD Icon, locate User Icon. This will show your orig user and the new user acct.
3. Click the New User.
4. Locate the Library Icon and open it.
5. Locate Applications Folder, open it.
6. Locate DVD player folder. Open it there are 2 folders. (this is good). Red X Close
7. Use the EDIT from top menu bar. Make Duplicate, this copies the folder without the 'copy' name on the file. "DVD player" is what you want. Otherwise wont work.
8. Paste it to your desktop.
9. Close the New User folder. This drops you back to Users folder.
10. Open the original user acct. **NOTE, at this point you may begin to see little red dots on the folders. When you see them, Click on the LIB folder, then use the "GET INFO" command to show the status of the permissions. Click the DETAIL tab, and click the yellow lock next to OWNER. Change ownership to read as your orig acct. Change permissions to READ AND WRITE. Group: Staff (it worked for me). Click APPLY TO ENCLOSED ITEMS, click the yellow lock. Check the info before closing the menu. You may have to repeat this as you delve deeper.
11. Dbl click LIB, then Application Support. Then paste or drag the DVD player folder in.
12. Close out all windows, LOG off as new user.. Log on as Orig user.
13. Dbl click HD icon, Applications Icon, find DVD player Dbl click that. It should work.
Thanks to all the input from the Discussions that allowed me to solve this problem.

My FCP X does not recognize my external drive and extra internal drive

I recently had to reinstall FCP X because I found a "?" in my dock when I wanted to work on a project. The app had also disappeared from the Applications file. I had taken a class at the technical college and last opened the program in the lab at school a week earlier. I had been woirking on the project which I had put on my external 3 gb drive. Now, after reinstalling FCP X, my extra internal hard drive and my external drive does not show as an option when I open the program. I cannot access my projects in the Project Browser. I had made four backups, or versions, so I continue to work on the video. Nothing show in the Project Browser. I would like to get to video which I had worked on for some time. The program had work well all semester - until now. Bummer!

It may be that the DVD drive is not getting enough electrical power. Try a powered hub, one that has a separate connection to an AC outlet.
Ciao.

TS1363 My ipod will not turn on at all. When I connect it to the laptop by the USB, it does not recognize it at all. What could possibly be the problem? The Nano was working like 30 minutes ago.

About 30 minutes ago, I was adding some music to the ipod Nano. Everything was working fine. Now, the ipod will not turn on at all. When I connect it to the laptop with the USB, the computer does not even recognize it. The screen has a fant image of the plug on it and it says connected. I followed the procedures for disconnecting it when I was finished with it earlier. Any idea what is going on here???
Thanks

It probably needs to be reset. The procedure is different for different Nano models: http://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/assistant/itunes/

My iphone does not automatically switch off the display light when locked. How do I fix this?

I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 8.2 software.
My iPhone does not automatically switch off the display light when it is locked. Therefore, if I get an e-mail/text message/pop-up from other application, the light just stays on, which obviously drains my battery.
The problem just started yesterday, and it has been a couple of days since I updated the software, so I wouldn't think the software update is the problem.
I have tried restarting the phone (using home and lock button), but that did not work.
Something else that seems weird is that once in a while, a blue beam rolls over the screen from one side to the other. I don't know why it does this, and have no idea whether this is related to the display light issue.
I hope someone is able to help by telling me what to do in order to get my phone to act normal again.
Thank you x

Restart your device by holding the home and power button until the Apple logo appears. You will not lose any data.

At the urging of an Apple Store employee, I upgraded to OS Lion X. However, Excel does not recognize the hard drive and I cannot save any work. I understand there is a small compatibility issue - any suggestions ?

I need some direction on fixing an issue with excel and lion x which has a compatibility issue - can't save my work to a hard drive.

If you made a backup before installing lion, now would be a good time to restore that backup.... Ok, well you can always boot into lion recovery menu.... shut down your mac, hold down the option key and restart your computer..... Select recovery from the disk startup menu and go to disk utility... select the OSX disk, you can try repairing your permissions and repairing the disk.... If you lucky enough, it will fix it.... If not, and you have a decent internet connection, click the reinstall LION OSX after exiting disk utility. Your mac will now REDOWNLOAD LION OSX and reinstall it.... did you happen to make a backup before?
Also, did your mac originally have Leopard? Just curious... Because LION is entirely 64bit now where as Snow leopard had support for 32 bit as well, but the problem may be that some of your older apps where 32 bit.... This is just a guess though I'm not sure.... Because I've had numerous problems and crashes with my CS 4 stuff and final cut pro 7 and aperature.... Not sure if it's totally related to the whole 64 bit thing, but the thing is that the crashes are only occuring on my 32 bit apps.... otherwise the computer runs great.... To remedy, I had previously made an OSX lion USB drive so that I could do a fresh install of LION. I backed up all my data and files, installed a new SSD and my Macbook is SCREAAAAAAMING fast.... Sorry about the gloating but I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of your problem....

Your welcome.
It sounds like the message you were getting was notifying you that you haven't backuped up via iCloud in a while.
If that is correct, you can fix that:
Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Backup Now
iCloud Backups will run automatically if:
- the devive is charging
- the device is connected to Wi-Fi
- the screen is locked
