No disk in Drive Message

When I run Itunes I get the message "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \device\Harddisk\DR5" .
It appears over the itunes screen but it won't let me do anything and I have to exit through Task Manager.. Any Advice how to solve problem. I have all the current versions of Windows 7, itunes etc. I had a similar problem a while ago and had to uninstall Itunes and reinstall. This just started about two days ago. Thanks

Were you able to resolve this?
I tried fixing the same problem today and could not seem to find the correct file to delete. I reinstalled several times, trashed the pref files, trashed the temp folder items, even used the Windows Clean Uninstall Utility and no dice.

IPod Sync - No Disk in Drive message

Hello,
When my iPod completes sync-ing, I get the "Windows - No Disk" error message, stating "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive."
If provides the drive letter involved and offers one to Cancel, Try Again, or Continue.
Note: File Explore does show the iPod, w folders, listed as the drive prompted for. If does correctly sync that files. Also, once one ejects the iPod, file explores, correctly, no longer lists that drive.
The event log simply records this as eventID 26 repeating several times.
Microsoft's support site states the following for the eventID:
Explanation
The program could not load a driver because the program user doesn't have sufficient privileges to access the driver or because the drive is missing or corrupt.
User Action
To correct this problem:
Ensure that the program user has sufficient privileges to access the directory in which the driver is installed.
Reinstall the program to restore the driver to the correct location.
However, I do have privileges and the application has been reinstalled.
Ideas what is triggering the prompt?

I have seen two suggestions for fixing this issue:
1. Microsoft's
This is specific to XP, and your profile shows you are using XP.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925196/en-us
2. An old post in another forum that said "I un-installed iTunes and then went to C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Applications Data\Apple Computers\iTunes and deleted the iTunes preferences file. I did the same at C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Local Settings\Applications Data\Apple Computers\iTunes. I then re-installed iTunes."
Neither of the above worked for me.
What did work was very simple: with the iPod connected, on the Summary tab, check the "Enable disk use" option, then click Apply.
Hope this helps.

There is no disk in drive - message won't go away

Wene i Tunes starts it displays a panel saying "there is no disk in drive, insert a disk in the drive" . Options are "cancel", "try again" "continue"
NO matter which option I choose the message comes back again and again making it impossibe to do anything in the applications.
I can't see any reason why it should be looking for a disk
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Synch Issue - no disk in drive message - do not disconnect on IPOD

During synch I get a message:
"Windows - no disk
There is no disk in the drive - please insert a disc into Drive F"
Drive F is a usb port and there is nothing in it. I thought maybe a song had F: in the title - found two and deleted them from the library, but problem still there. ITunes say synch complete -IPOD says do not disconnect, so have had to reboot IPOD to disconnect. Synch is okay and all files updated okay. Any help?

Hello,
Well, thanks at least for confirming that I'm not alone. I've done a lot of research on the internet with folks having trouble syncing their older ipods and even ipod touches with the latest version of itunes. Hopefully Apple will read these complaints and address the issues in future versions.
Thanks.

Windows Message"No Disk in Drive" appears @ itunes startup & w every click

When itunes starts up I get this message box "There is no disk in drive. Please insert disk into drive." I can click on continue or cancel to close box but it reappears whenever I click on a song. It sometimes won't close even if I do insert a disk. I am just learning itunes. Does anyone have advise?

Are you sure it's iTunes, and not quicktime? Because with quicktime, you can get that message if you play a movie from a CD, and it keeps looking for it.
If that's the case, open QuickTime and choose File, then Open Recent, and then Clear Menu.

It sounds like you downloaded the wrong application, namely Adobe Premiere Elements.

Error message - no disk in drive

On opening Elements 9 (& also when trying to save) I get the following error message.
"There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive E:."
I have tried reinstalling, but to no avail. Please help!

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

Error Messages: "There is no disk in drive..." and "Cannot Sync (-124)

Hello everybody,
Kind of a unique case, but problems started for me when I upgraded to Itunes 8 on my new Toshiba Netbook which runs Windows XP. Seems like everytime I open Itunes and insert my ipod nano (4th gen), I get a Windows error message that reads "There is no disk in drive. Please insert disk in drive." After clearing from this message (it doesn't matter whether you press Cancel, Continue, or Try Again), I try to sync my music. No go. I receive an error from itunes that reads "Cannot sync music due to unknown error (-124).
Right now, this case has been kicked around Apple and Toshiba for two weeks. I'm getting frustrated becuase Apple is telling me that it's a fault with the operating system since Windows is assigning the wrong path to ipod. Toshiba is saying its a software problem with Itunes. As I wait for a solution, I have no functioning Ipod since it can't load up any new playlists.
I've tried the 5 R's, created a new user profile on my computer, and even changed the location of my usb drive for my inano. None of it has worked so far. One suggestion did work in getting rid of the error messages but didn't do anything to unlock my inano. It was the suggestion to go into "my computer" and checking the properties of my inano, then checking the boxes to scan and repair any errors windows finds in the inano. After this attempt, I'm starting to believe that it's a software issue with itunes 8. Something I want to believe since it saves me the trouble of sending my new netbook to Toshiba for work.
Any ideas here? Thanks for the help

try uninstalling the drivers
Plug in your iPod
Right click on My Computer and click on Manage
that will bring you to the Computer Management
On the left hand side click on device manager
on the right side click on the plus sign next to Universal Serial Bus Controllers
it will show a list, in that list locate iPod or USB mass storage device
right click and select uninstall
Unplug your iPod and plug it back in
Windows should automatically start installing them again
if nothing pops up then right click on Universal Serial Bus Controllers
and choose scan for hardware changes
If that does not work, try changing the drive letter
Go back into Computer Management
Click on Disk Management on the right
and on the left it should say your iPod
Right click and go into change drive letter and paths
click on the change button
Change it to something like N or M
Click ok, you will get a message saying "changing the drive letter may cause the program to no longer run are you sure you want to change this drive letter"

'No disk in the drive' message

I downloaded the latest iTunes and now whenever I start iTunes, I get a message, 'There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive' with the option to Cancel, Try Again, Continue. If I select Try Again or Continue, I get the message again. I have completely removed QuickTime and uninstalled iTunes and its folders according to the instructions at the Apple website, re-booted and then re-installed iTunes and I get the same error message. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks for any help you can give me.

This can also be caused in iTunes 7 by "dead tracks": songs that iTunes is expecting to find in a certain place but the song file isn't there. Either the location was blank or pointed to a missing file.
I recently upgraded to version 7 and got this message every time I started iTunes. I used the iTunes COM SDK for Windows with JScript to find all the dead tracks in my library. Then I fixed them by either deleting them from the library or else correcting the library's idea of where the song file was. Once I did this the message went away.

Message reads: Please insert disk in driver F

Hi. We have 2 iPods in use on our computer (we share the same library). I have just installed iTunes 8 and it was fine when I purchased songs and put them on my iPod. My partner added songs to his iPod yesterday but he got 2 strange messages. First one said "please insert disk in driver F" and the second one said "iPod cannot be ejected as another application is in use". Can anybody tell me what these messages mean please? We had to unplug the iPod ourselves (which we don't like to do) and we also manally update our iPods. Thanks very much.

For the "please insert disk in drive F:" message - do you have a camera, memory stick or other device you can connect to one of the USB ports? If that works, then you should try changing the *[drive letter|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1493]* of your ipod. Give each ipod a different letter, and not something likely to be confused with other removable devices. (ex: I use Q, R, T)
The second message means some other program is also accessing the ipod, could be AV Software, msn messenger, WMP.

Error Message:    Insert disk into drive   \Device\Harddisk1\DR1

With Premier 11, when I use the Instant Movie "Outdoor Adventure", after it is created I receive the following error message, locking up the program:
                   (NO problem with some other Instant Movies)
            Insert disk into drive   \Device\Harddisk1\DR1.
What does the error message mean and how do I fix it?
Thanks.

Did you install the "patch" for SmartSound?
Perhaps this ANNOUNCEMENT will be helpful, if you have not done the installation, or the patch:
ANNOUNCEMENT: SmartSound Sonicfire Pro Issues In PrE 11
Hide Details
If one is having issues with SmartSound's Sonicfire Pro music creation plug-in, a likely cause is the lack of a recent patch from SmartSound. One should follow the instructions at http://www.smartsound.com/support/link.php?id=308 to update your smartsound version to v5.7.5.

Attempted solutions:
-I created a new User Account and I can download large files with no issues.
-I ran "Repair Disk Permissions" but still get warnings.
Google Drive Warning:
Spotify Warning:
But on my other user account I can use spotify and download large files, etc.

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Imac-- Upgrading elements 10 to elements 12. Did successful backup of 10. When restore to 12 message said the disk in drive My Passport for Mac does not contain a valid backup

IIMac doing upgrade of Elements 10 to Elementys 12. Did full backup of 10 on my external hard drive "MY Passport". Rec'd message backup successful. Did restore on 12 and rec'd message "The disk in drive My Passport for Mac does not contain a valid backup". Any help suggestions?

The funniest part of the whole situation, Apple Care explained it to me as some kind of feature. The told me how to adjust the time when my computer sleeps and recommend I don't shut it down, let it sleep and "instant wake". I would bet if you called them about your Macbook, they would suggest you just close the lid and let it sleep rather than shutting it down.
Basically shutdown and restart have a problem and the solution is to not shutdown is how they explained it to me. They kept saying buzz words like "instant on" and "fast wakeup". My computer already could sleep and wakeup fast, but now shutdown and restart don't work right. I called them 3 times about it, but since they use these buzzwords, sounds like Lion is meant for a Macbook Air or a Mac with an SSD. If you have a normal hard disk, some of the saving/versions/resume features take too long to be written to the disk on shutdown. And when you start again, it takes a long time to reload the system to it's previous point.
Even if I uncheck the box to reopen windows on next start, it reopens them anyways.
If they can't give me a better explaination or some kind of fix, I will have to go back to Snow Leopard. I use my Mac in a production environment and depend on stability. They assured me before I upgraded that it would be stable and all the new saving and versions features could help my productivity. So far it's not helping me and downright annoying. You need to close all your windows before you close the program... if you have 5 windows open in terminal or textedit... every time you launch, they will launch all those windows. I just really want versions, not resume it seems.
But I can deal with it opening a million windows, just can't take it getting stuck on booting or not shutting down properly. This is a "feature" that should be fixed. LOL
