Please help, itunes wont synch with my itouch

after a recent update for my itunes, my itouch would not synch with itunes. i attempted to install and reinstall itunes. then it wont even charge my itouch.
at this stage, whenever i open itunes, this error message pops up "registry settings used bythe itunes driver for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing . This can happen as a result of installing ther CD burning softwares. Please reinstall Itunes".
i tried just uninstalling and installing Itunes.
then i tried uninstalling Itunes and other itunes relating programs (Bonjour, apple software updater, quicktime, etc) the recommended methd on this web site
but this doesnt change anything.
then recently i tried, going to my C hardrive and find GearAspiwdm.inf, then right click then install them.
and also, downloading the Gear drivers installation x86 x64.
then i nolonger get the error message but my itouch still wont synch....
i know this is a long question but if u take a minute of your time to read this, i will be very appreciated. thanks a lot really

whenever i open itunes, this error message pops up "registry settings used bythe itunes driver for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing . This can happen as a result of installing ther CD burning softwares. Please reinstall Itunes".
I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

Pleae help, itunes wont synch after update

after a recnt update for my itouch 4s, it wont synch with my itouch anymore, nor would my pc charge my itouch.
now whenever i open itunes , a message pops out, it says "the registry settings used by the Itunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing, this can happen as a result of isntalling other CD burning software. Please reinstall itunes."
i tried
uninstalling and reinstalling itunes (numerous times)
delete all programs relating to itunes (appple softwareupgade, Bonjour,Itunes, etc) then reinstalling them.
Note: my ipod touch can synch and be recharged from other PCs, o i guess its just my Itunes software problem
any help will be very appreciated, THANKS

i have tried the 3 step thing again which u mentioned above in your first commet, but at the end i was under the suggestion of other resources and search "GearAspiWDM.inf" and right click and install after the steps. i did that. ow whenever i open itunes, terror message wont appear, but it ont connec with my itouch.
i cant find a suitable application for registry repair... sorry
and also i downloaded Gears Driver installer x86 x64, so i dont know whether its this installing "fixed" the error message , or my installation on GearAspiWDM.inf

PLEASE HELP Itunes wont open after downloading v6

COMPAQ Presario R3000 Windows XP
Please help, i have just downloaded itunes (v6) and when i try to open it, nothing happens (no error) it is in processes in task manager (as itunes.exe) but it is not actually open. I have spent many hours trying to fix this and still no luck, please someone help,
Thanks in advance
Karl

Well I don't know what "tried everything possible" means!
top fixes for a new iTunes install/upgrade are
- turning off security software such as Norton before the install as Apple suggests
- installing QuickTime standalone, not regular
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
- setting up Norton to allow iTunes
- scanning for malware with ewido (Free at www.ewido.net/en/)
- last but not least, using MSCONFIG to find Windows conflicts

PLEASE HELP iTUNES WONT RUN!!!

I have uninstalled and downloaed iTunes numerous times.
Before it just would not open.
I thought it might be a virus so i went out and spent another $50 on virus protection program.
I reinstalled iTunes again, installed service pack 2, and installed new verion of Quicktime.
I've done everything I can think of.
now when I try to open iTunes I get a message saying:
" iTunes requires Windows 2000 or later.
Please make sure compatibility mode is disabled in the Compatibility tab of the properties for iTunes.exe. "
I have a Windows XP and installed SP2 which is what the iPod box says is required.
I am so fed up.
I worked to save up for the brand new iPod I have been wanting forever now and cant even use it.
Ive done as much as I can do and ive run out of ideas.
I dont know how to check the compatibility mode thing its asking me to check.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME OUT HERE?!?!?
thank you.

Please help- Itunes wont start up

Can anyone help? I installed itunes from the web and when I click the icon, it tells me that the "itunes folder could not be created and that the default location should be in My music". Itunes does not start up. I am on a PC using windows XP. Please Please assist. Anyone?

This problem is usually due to an incorrect registry setting for My Music, see this article:

PLEASE HELP Itunes wont load

I have just recently got and ipod nano.....but have yet to hook it up to my computer...finally i today i decided to install the new 7.02 itunes on my computer straight from the aplle website.....the instaltion went fine but when i tried to start it up it went to the user agreement which i agreed to and then an Error occurs that say " The iTunes folder can not be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the MyMusic folder."
So hears the thing, I unistalled itunes created a my music folder (b/c i didnt have one) and reinstalled it inside the my music folder...still didnt work.

So i unistalled it one more time...tried to then install it on my external hardrive and it still doesnt work...and has the same error...
All i want is to my songs on my ipod...I cant figured out anyother way so could someone Please Help

replying to duecer

the best place to start with that one is with the following document:
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
... but if you run into the complication where "My Music" doesn't appear as an option in TweakUI, perhaps try the alternate technique from the following Nigel Carpenter post. (heads up: that thread may take some time to load. leave it for a few minutes until it loads fully, otherwise you might not see the correct post by Nigel.)

PLEASE HELP itunes wont let me burn a disk

Is there a way to burn the playlist on your ipod.
Also Im having trouble burning music..When i go to place them in my playlist it wont let me put them in there...
why???????????

I have the same error and cannot burn music that was purchased from itunes or uploaded from my own cds

Please help, itunes wont give me option to sync from my iphone

I have an iphone 4s and I just downloaded itunes on my hp with windows and the new itunes doesnt give me an option to sync my mnusic library onto my computer from my iphone. ive tried restarting it and unplugging it and they dont give me any options!

iTunes will only transfer music purchased from the iTunes store from your phone to your iTunes library. To do that, authorize your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music in Store>Authorize This Computer, then connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
Music from other sources on your phone (such as from ripped CDs) must be extracted from your phone using 3rd party software such as Touch Copy (PC or Mac) or PhoneView (Mac only).
If your iTunes library is still on your old computer, the best solution is to copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the music folder) from your old computer to your new one, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.

Ipod wont synch with itunes

I 1st installed my ipod onto my laptop but that has since broke and I have tried to install it onto my pc and it wont synch with itunes. I cant get into my music list either. Help pleae thanks

Hi, thank you for the reply, unfortunetly i have tried all the suggestions on that link (and quite a few more).
The message is completely random as to whether its a download from the itunes store or something i have imported or a cd that i have added to my itunes. I have got to a point now where it will synch a certain amount of tracks (or photo's, books, etc) and then just give me an -50 message regardless of what it is i am trying to synch, my 80gb classic has now become a 50mb classic!

Please Help, iTunes has taken my right to play certain songs

Please Help, iTunes has taken my right to play certain songs.
These were free songs with coco-cola codes some time ago.
Now in Mtn Lion it has took the playing rights from me and locked them off!
Anybodys help on this subject is much appreciated...

Yes it worked,
Right-click in it > Show in Finder. Finally, right-click in that file > Get Info > Sharing & Permissions. See if you have got read permission,
Clicked through the Get Info > Sharing & Permissions and when I closed the window the song played again.
Not sure why but it worked for me!

I'm too old to learn iCal. How do I tell iTunes to synch with Outlook for Mac for all of the Contacts and the Calendar on my iPhone and iPad?? Thanks

I'm too old to learn iCal. How do I tell iTunes to synch with Outlook for Mac for all of the Contacts and the Calendar on my iPhone and iPad??
Also, once I figure out how to replace iCal with Outlook/Mac on iTunes, how do I synch the phone and pad so that the information on those devices over-writes onto Outlook as a backup, rather than having a blank Calendar on Outlook wipe out all of the information on the phone and pad???
Thanks

If you haven't tried already, plug your devices into iTunes, and on each device next to the "Summary" tab at the top is another tab called "Info." Click that and scroll down to Contacts, Calendars, etc. There should be a pull down bar under each category for "Sync contacts from..." and you should be able to select from that pull down list Outlook. Hit Apply at the bottom and see if that does it.
