Re-installing iTunes to install DVD/CD burning software

When I load iTunes, a message come up saying that there is no component to allow DVD/CD burning....could be cause by installing other DVD/CD burning software and to re-stall iTunes. I have re-installed twice and re-booted and still get the same error message. I am trying to back-up my iPod library and can't burn to disk through iTunes. In addition, I find that my iTunes library now has about 40% of the tunes with an exclamation point next to the song list and if I try to play it, as error message comes up saying file can't be found. That's why I want to back up my iPod before I try to load my music from my iPod back onto my computer. HELP! Any ideas about how I can solve these problems?
Thanks

How to install itunes without cd/dvd rom support?

Hi,
Everybody knows when you install iTunes to any windows device, you will have a problem with your dvdrw afterwards. Till day, every installation i made end up with losing my dvd-rom.
There is 3 solution to this problem, but those solutions never worked for me and last time i used my company notebook without it's dvdrom for over a year.
Now, i reinstall my notebook with Windows 8.1 Update 1 and i want to install iTunes for my music but i can' let iTunes do the same thing again.
Is there anyway install iTunes without cd-dvd 3rd party/usb/firmware driver support?
I search on net and i found this link but it's way too old

QuickTime is required for iTunes to run. You can think of iTunes as a media manager "front end" to QuickTime which handles the actual playing of the media.
Safari was an optional install when I installed iTunes on my Windows system. I wasn't forced to install Safari. MobileMe is also no longer automatically installed, though it will update if it finds an existing installation. I didn't get it forced on me when I installed on my Vista system.

One tip: it will pay better dividends if you avoid ranting. Apple won't see your rants (except to delete them) and we, your fellow users who are with rare exceptions the only ones participating here, don't really want to be yelled at.

I allredy install iTunes I become this message: hKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE32\Software\Classes\.m4b\Open\WithList\iTunes.exec. must have privileges

I can´t install iTunes , I become the message hKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE32\Software\Classes\.m4b\Open\WithList\iTunes.exec.you must have privilleges, Can somebody explain me how I must become such a privillege?

This has to do with permissions in the registry. Take a look at the post by Primus Bodacious in this link

Installing itunes, couldnt install itunes with quicktime error

hello, i really hope somebody can help me, ok i went to reinstall itunes because i kept getting a window that comes up saying itunes encountered a problem and needs to close, so i went to install it and i got a error saying something about itunes couldnt be installed because it needed quicktime, but i had quicktime, so i tried to unistall it and it wouldnt let me so i went and deleted the program files for quicktime, and then tried to install itunes, it installed but when i tried to run itunes, i get the origional error message saying it encounted a problem. please please help

okay, that's a useful pointer. checking on another couple of things with your current quicktime.
(1) try launching your QuickTime. does it fail to launch, with no error message whatsoever?
(2) try heading into your Control panel and launching the QuickTime control panel. does it open or do you get an error message? if you get an error message, what's the full text of the message? (this can give us a fairly solid heads up on the cause of your symptoms.)

Since Installing iTunes 7, I Can't Burn CDs

i just installed iTunes 7 a few days ago and i have tried to burn a data CD on several occassions and it begins to burn, but after about 2 mins. cancels the burn and comes up with the pop-up indicating error 4000.
i bought a 100 pack of sony CD-Rs and i have wasted like 10 already trying to burn. this is really frustrating because i've always been able to burn with iTunes and my computer so i'm assuming that iTunes 7 has something to do with it.
any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

I have the exact same problem and have read many other postings describing variations on this frustrating theme. I am getting "unkown error 4450". It is clear from the number of postings that the problem is with the new release and not our individual computers. How can we get Apple to address this and let us know when it is fixed?

Installed 10.3, Now no Disc Burner Software

Hello all,
I reformatted my entire drive due to several issues with my PowerBook G4. I installed 10.3 from scratch and no longer have OS 9 in my startup disc. I have upgraded to 10.3.9. Whevever I put in a CD, it just kicks it back out. Even brand new software discs. When it does stay in the drive, it is not recognized by the PowerBook. I also noticed that I no longer have the Disc Burner software on my Mac. Any thoughts on how I can reinstall Disc Burner? All the online help has the Disc Burner software for OS9 only which will not install since there is no OS9 folder. I am guessing this is the reason the disc gets spit out everytime. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi Peter,
disc burner is not part of MacOS X. Burning capability is built into the system, no seperate application needed.
Furthermore: your problem is not the burning capability but the recognition of the optical media. I suggest you first run the Apple hardware test and the reapply the Mac OS X Combined Update 10.3.9.
Do not forget: Repair permissions before and after an update!

Is it possible to install iTunes WHITHOUT installing quicktime ? because...

...I already have installed QuickTime Lite on my Windows XP Pro SP3 PC and I want to keep iTunes installation as lean as possible.
Thanks

I have no idea what Quicktime Lite is so I can't speak to that.
It's a third-party chop-down of QuickTime, Meg, made by the same Codecs-Guide folk who made QuickTime Alternative, and still make the K-Lite codec packs. Roughly speaking, it's QuickTime componentry without a QuickTime Player, for folks who want to be able to play QuickTime content in their web browsers or, say, Media Player Classic, without having to install "QuickTime itself".
There's less of a "leaness" advantage to using QuickTime Lite or QuickTime Alternative nowadays with iTunes, instead of a standard Apple-supplied QuickTime, because QuickTime and iTunes both share a lot of program files via Apple Application Support. The last time I checked a QT Alternative installation, all the Apple Application Support componentry had been stashed in the QT Alternative program files. So the iTunes/QT-alternative combination "doubles up" all that componentry in Apple Application Support, even though it doen't include some of the Player componentry.
Also, as of 15 July 2010 Codecs Guide seem not to be supporting either QuickTime Lite or QT Alternative anymore:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuickTime_Alternative
... so, you're likely to run into troubles if your iTunes version needs a higher version of QuickTime componentry than the ones in your current QT Lite. (Codecs Guide used to be really good about updating their QT Alternative componentry when a new version of iTunes came through ... if they aren't maintaining it any more, I'd be a bit worried about staying up to date with it.)
So I'd uninstall QT Lite and go with the standard QuickTime if you're going to be installing iTunes, nowadays.

Best DVD/CD burning software

I am new to Mac's. Can anyone tell me what the best burning software is right now? Thanks

Hi sctrojans1
As mentioned by others here, Roxio Toast is the most comprehensive software for cd/dvd burning, but before you go get it, you might want to try a pretty slick little shareware application that does a lot for the price (25 bucks). Like Toast, it will do incremental backups on cds and on dvd+rw disks. I've used it for over a year and am very satisfied with it. You can get a trial version here:

Installing itunes removed my DVD drive??

I downloaded iTunes just to try it out, and uninstalled it later. After removing it I realized that my DVD drive was gone too. Seems like itunes removed the drivers while uninstalling itself, but I'm not exactly sure when the drive was uninstalled. The drive is still visible from my hardware manager, but with a question mark next to it, indicating missing drivers. I have tried disabling the drive, rebooting and reabling it, and reinstalling upon reboot, but the drive is still missing. I can still find the drive from BIOS, so there is nothing wrong with the drive itself, but Windows can't use it. I have also tried downloading drivers from the internet, but none of them work. What do i do? Is there any way i can fix this without reinstalling windows? The DVD drive is a generic hitachi laptop drive.

Yes, the error code is 31.
okay, if you're getting a code 31 on a Windows 2000 PC, we'd better check on this possibility:

Ken Powers (Last update 9/25/2006):
One additional note regarding Max Ustinov's comment:
If you have multiple instances of SQL Server, you will need to repeat this process for each instance. For example, I have a default instance and a named instance. I must add the appropriate permissions to the bin folder of each instance. The folder for the default instance is the same one Max showed us:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\OLAP\bin.
The folder for the named instance is:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.4\OLAP\bin.
The folder requiring the permissions will be shown in the event regarding "msmdctr90.DLL".
Max Ustinov (Last update 9/10/2006):
I had 2 instances of this event in a row on a SQL 2005 Server. The first error stated "Resolve Partial Assembly failed for Microsoft.VC80.CRT.mui. Reference error message: Access is denied". The second error immediately after said "Generate Activation Context failed for C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\OLAP\bin\msmdctr90.DLL. Reference error message: Access is denied". These errors may also be accompanied by event 1008 and 1023 from source Perflib.
I found that these errors are caused by the "Performance Logs and Alerts" service if it runs as "Network Service”, which is a member of "Performance Log Users" local user group. Although the individual DLL permissions are set, this group does not have enough permission to SQL AS bin folder. To fix this problem, for the "Performance Log Users" local user group, modify or add "List Folder Contents" permissions in the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\OLAP\bin.
Mihai Andrei (Last update 8/15/2006):
According to Microsoft, there are three possible causes:
1.The component or manifest depends on another program or component that is not installed.
2.The manifest contains XML content that is not valid.
3.The user does not have the correct permissions.
See MSW2KDB for solutions to this problem.
This event occurs when you install SQL Server 2005 on a computer that is running the original release version of Windows XP, because SQL Server 2005 requires the GetSystemTimes function. The GetSystemTimes function is included in Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) and in later Windows XP service packs. See M922669 for details on this situation.
This problem can occur when you have version 5.2.3790.2426 or a more recent version of the Winlogon.exe program installed. See M914061 for a hotfix applicable to Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
This problem occurs because the run-time libraries are not installed on the Microsoft Dynamics CRM server. The applications that use side-by-side libraries cannot run without the run-time libraries. See M923014 to resolve this issue.
John Goulden (Last update 12/19/2005):
This event occurs in conjunction with EventID 32 from source SideBySide and it is caused by an application that was not packaged with all of the necessary runtime files. In my case this was caused by the Logitech SetPoint software and was solved by getting the appropriate C++ 2005 Redistributable Package.

Unable to install iTunes 5.0, cannot uninstall apple software updater

I am trying to update iTunes from ver 10.3.3 to 15.5.1.4 with no luck!! I can d/l the file, wneh it goes to install it through the update tool, I get an error saying the resource is unavailable, i have searched my entire hard drive for the file "applesoftwareupdate.msi" and its not here. Trying to remove it will not work either due to missing file. I have tried to manually remove the software tool with no luck. I am using windows xp. Is there anything i can do before i go through the grueling task of doing a full windows recovery?? Thanks for your time.

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Itune - Vista - CD/DVD Play/Burner

Itune 7.4.3 when intalled on my computer,appears to have loaded OK. But I cannot find my CD/DVD Players. The Autoplay feature has ceased to work. I cannot find the players when I look in my Computer programs. Any ideas.

Go to
http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/drivers.cfm
I have no idea why, but these drivers are apparently absent from some versions of vista and without them it can cause other programs(like iTUNES) to not notice your cd/dvd drives. just download the drivers and you should be good to go.

I can't install Itunes (The older version of Apple Software Update...)

I try to reinstall Itunes many times, but this message keep popping up :''The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group''. So I google the problem, and tried many solutions that people says like use windows installer cleanup utility (and it says we're sorry, we encountered an expected problem downloading one or more components and can't run the troubleshooter right now. Please try again later) , delete ASU from add/remove control panel (It says The installation source of this product is unavailable. Verify that source exists and that you can access it).
Please help ~ What should I do?!? T.T

I have the same problem as yours too. It always says ''The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group''.
