New DVD-RW not recognized by iTunes

I replaced the original DVD-R in my 1 GHz TiBook with a Pioneer DVD drive model DVR-K05. Do I need to update drivers with this new optical drive? iTunes doesn't recognize the new writer and still lists the old Matshita UJ-815 DVD-R as the CD burner. When I use Toast 5 I can burn discs no problem. Thanks in advance for troubleshooting advice.

New DVD Drive not recognized by Itunes? Error 2550

Hey all,
So i go to burn a cd and i get the Disk Burner or Software not found error message. I start doing a little research and I find out that maybe my new optical drive I just bought isn't supported and it tells me to check this i need to go to Edit>Preferences>Advanced in the Itunes window and if my DVD drive is not supported it won't have anything in the DVD section of that. Well there is a DVD drive listed but its my old one, anyone know if I can somehow force itunes to recognize that i have a new Drive? I mean its a new sony drive, i imagine it should be supported.

New DVD burner not working w/iTunes

Okay, I've been working on this and digging through these forums for awhile now. I'm still stumped. So here we go:
I had a new DVD burner installed. I'm using Nero software which works fine for DVD, data, etc. However, iTunes gives me the "disc burner or software not found" message if I try to burn a disc from iTunes.
I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes (yes, latest version) twice now. No go.
In edit>preferences>advanced>burning CD burner: still shows the old CD-RW.
iTunes will recognize and play prerecorded CDs and ask if I want to import them.
In help>diagnostics>CD/DVD drive tests, after putting in a prerecorded CD as requested: Optical drive detected IS the correct device (D: ASUS DRW-1814BL) BUT I get a red dot with "no audio CD found" yet the songs are showing in the device window (in actual iTunes behind the diagnostic window).
Diagnostics complete:

I have uninstalled all virtual drive software, including Daemon Tools, PowerISO, and MagicDisc.
I have followed the article pointed out in an earlier thread involving editing the registry to remove 3rd party filters.
Okay... that's as much info as I can think of. Help?

Do you by any chance have Daemon tools? They are know to cause drive recongnition problems with this error number.
I intended to add this link just in case:

New DVD drive not recognized on my Satellite Pro 4600

Hi all,
I have recently bought a brand new NEC ND-6650 DVD writer.
This drive is NOT recognized by my Satellite Pro 4600, at all - neither Windows 2000 nor in the BIOS (v 2.60). Bios updates higher than version 2.60 are not provided.
Does this mean I can forget about using the new writer in my old notebook?
Thanks and best regards,
Nils

Hi Nils,
I suspect that your new drive may be not be compatible with your notebook. As with all optical drives your new drive will be configured as either Slave or Master (or possible cable select), and this configuration must match your notebook.
Usually your hard drive will be configured as Master on IDE channel 0 with your optical drive being the slave device on the same channel. However, you may find that your optical drive is configured as Master on IDE channel 1.
Normally the setting is pre-configured by the manufacturer so you will need to check both the conficuration of your new drive and the configuration of your original drive to make sure that they are the same.
regards,

I supposed you have downloaded and installed iTunes 7 on your PC.
It can be either a problem of your PC or the iPod, let have a prove.
Try to find any computer (of course with iTunes preinstalled), if your iPod showed up there, then it is a problem on your computer, read this

If your iPod does not show on any computer, then bring it back to the shop

New iPod nano not recognized by itunes, troubleshooting steps no help. Ideas?

Title pretty much says it all . . . have reinstalled S/W several times, followed troubleshootign steps, etc. No joy. Please help!

Hello,
The cord might be the case, but first, try these suggestions:
Try putting your iPod into disk mode, then try connecting it to your computer again...
<a href="How to put your iPod into disk mode</a>
Do you have a wall charger? If so, then try connecting your iPod to that, and does it charge, or not?
Have you checked this link out?:
<a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60941">iPod doesn't charge correctly
Does your iPod appear in "My Computer"? If so...
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
If not...
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes
Post back on what happens when you try these things out. I hope this helps!

New 30g iPod Not Recognized By iTunes/Mac Using USB 2.0

Hey there folks . . . I just came home today with a shiny new 30GB iPod, but am having a little trouble in getting it to behave properly. The iPod doesn't show up in iTunes 7 or the Finder when I connect it to a USB 2.0 port. It recognizes the thing on a USB 1.1 port, but this is a very unpleasant way to fill a 30GB hard drive, so, hopefully there's some silly thing I'm overlooking . . .
The USB 2.0 controller is functioning fine and dandy it seems, my flash card reader, mouse, and keyboard all function without a hitch when attached to either of my 2 USB 2.0 ports. When the iPod is plugged in, it charges the battery, and it shows up in the System Profiler under the USB High-Speed Bus just as would be expected . . . but Finder doesn't mount it, and iTunes doesn't recognize its existence.
I'm running MacOS X 10.3.9 on an older G4 PowerMac, and I did upgrade to iTunes 7.
Any ideas? :-/

Try updating to the latest version of QuickTime http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime713.html Then reattach i-pod and let it update the videos & or podcasts..
This fix worked for me...

IPad mini not recognized by itunes 10.6.1 (7)?

Why is new ipad mini not recognized by iTunes 10.6.1 (7)? Running OSX 10.5.8 software on the Mac. Software updates both report: "up to date"

Sorry, but you need iTunes 11 which requires OS 10.6 or higher and a Mac with an Intel processor. In other words, you need a newer Mac.

Did you try this:

My new Nanno 7 is not recognized by itunes. Removed, reinstalled and updated itunes. Iphone 5s and ipad 3 sync w/o problems. Itunes diagnostics says it isn't recognized by itunes. I'd really like to get some music on it.

My brand new nano 7 is not recognized by iTunes. I ran diagnostics and it stated under "Device Sync Test" that "no device found". My iPhone 5s and ipad 3 all sync without issue. The online chat with Apple didn't work either. I have uninstalled, reinstalled iTunes and have the latest update. Any suggestions?

My new Iphone 4s is not recognized by itunes

I have two other iphone 4s that are 16g and they both have the latest OS and show up in itunes as a device. Using the same connector, the new 4S 64g that I just received ( bought on ebay) is not recognized by itunes. Wi fi and phone work ok, charger, etc. I've restarted the phone, updated the OS, rebooted the computer, checked online for advise but nothing has helped. Thinking there may be something wrong with the thing which is a drag because I bought it for the extra capacity to store music from itunes.
Any suggestions?

Answering my own question this time since posting, found similar query and fixed it.
Went to control panel in Windows 7, printers and devices, down at the bottom shows the device
right clicked and chose troubleshoot. Turned out that the device drivers had not installed and the troubleshooter did
that automatically. Problem solved. Then the device showed up in itunes.
