Re: Satellite P - CD/DVD drive has been disabled after installing itunes 8

*Help*! After installing itunes 8 my CD/DVD/RW has been disabled.
This has happened before and I have restored it by deleting the upper and lower filters in the Vista registry but then itunes tells me that "The registry settings used by the itunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing." and I am unable to burn anything from itunes.
Does anyone out there know how to restore the CD/DVD/RW drive and retain the full use of itunes please?

Have you tried to reinstall iTunes?
Reinstall the old iTunes, reboot the computer and clean by using CCleaner. Then you can install the newest version of iTunes.
If it doesnt work try to remove the upper- and lower filters again. Maybe you should do this after you have reinstalled iTunes.
Last but not least, this could be useful for you:

    Hi Stephanie,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're going to have to put the iPad in to recovery mode before you can restore it. The article linked below provides more details about the passcode lock and will walk you through putting the process of restoring from recovery mode.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    Use recovery mode
    Follow these steps if you never synced your device with iTunes, if you don't have Find My iPhone set up, or if you can't get to your own computer. You'll need to put your device in recovery mode, which will erase the device and its passcode. Then you'll restore your device as new or from a backup.
    Disconnect all cables from your device.
    Turn off your device.
    Press and hold the Home button. While holding the Home button, connect your device to iTunes. If your device doesn't turn on automatically, turn it on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode.
    Click OK, then restore the device.
    Cheers!

  • HT1430 my daughter's ipod has been disabled after too many wrong password attempts. The ipod was not synced to a computer. How can we get it started?

    My daughter's ipod touch has been disabled after too many wrong password attempts.
    The ipod was never synced to the computer so can't connect to itunes.
    How else can we enable the ipod touch again?

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  In your case, choose any computer with iTunes software.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • My Apple ID has been disabled after an Amex breach. What now?

    My Apple ID has been disabled after an Amex breach. What now?

    You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on any iOS device that you have by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
    If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

    Hi mamamuddpie,
    If your Apple ID account has been disabled, follow the steps below to reset your password and gain access.  There is a link in the article to the Apple ID Security team if you need help with this.  
    If your Apple ID has been locked - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204106
    You might see one of these alerts:
    “This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons”
    "You can't sign in because your account was disabled for security reasons"
    "This Apple ID has been locked for security reasons"
    If your Apple ID was locked, you can go to iForgot to unlock it with your existing password or reset your password. You can also click the Reset Password or Forgot Password button in the alert. Remember to type your full email address when you're asked to enter your Apple ID. For example, [email protected] or [email protected]. If you use two-step verification for Apple ID, you need to use your recovery key and a trusted device to regain access to your account.
    If you can't reset your password and you don't use two-step verification, contact Apple Support. Update your password in iCloud settings
    After you change your password, you might need to update it in iCloud settings on your devices.
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Go to Settings > iCloud.
    Tap Edit, if asked.
    Type your new password and tap Done.
    Mac
    Go to Apple menu > System Preferences.

    Click Sign Out.
    Type your new password and click Sign In.
    Windows
    Choose Start > Control Panel.
    Double-click iCloud.
    Click Sign Out.
    Type your new password and click Sign In.
    Email
    If you use an email app to get iCloud email, the app will ask you to enter your new password when you check for mail. If OS X Mail doesn't ask you for your password, check your Mail preferences. For any other mail app, check the app's documentation to get help changing your email password.Update other services, such as iTunes and FaceTime
    If you use your Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, iMessage, Game Center, or FaceTime, you might need to update your password for those services.
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Go to Settings and tap the service. 
    Tap your Apple ID. For iMessage, tap Send & Receive and then tap your Apple ID. 
    Tap Sign Out.
    Sign in with your Apple ID and your new password.
    Mac or PC
    If you try to sign in to the iTunes Store or Mac App Store, make a purchase, or update an app, you'll be asked to enter your password.

  • My phone has been disabled -connect to ITunes

    My phone was disabled because I did not know my password.  It now has become disabled and says to connect to itunes.  I am not able to it won't respond.
    I usually download with ICloud.  Nothing works.

    What happens when you connect the phone to your computer's iTunes, and you have an up-to-date version of iTunes installed on your computer ? If your iTunes is not recognising that a disabled device is connected to it then try one of these troubleshooting pages :

    i see you've got a Packard Bell. could you check something for me? go into your Device Manager (right-click "My Computer", select "Manage", select "Device Manager"), and check to see if you've got a warning/alert message showing up next to your optical drives referencing "code 41".
    if you do see a code 41 in there, this post has information on some other techniques that have been getting people past the Packard Bell code 41 optical drive disappearances:

  • Optical drive doesn't work after installing itunes 11.0.5.5

    After updating to iTunes 11.0.5.5 my optical drive does not work. I have put the same CD in another PC and it works fine. When I right click on the optical disc drive in 'Computer' I get the error message "Windows cannot access the specified device, or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item." If a CD is in the drive, the drive will either keep popping open or not open at all on its own. The CD will not open in any other player such as Windows Media Player either.

    I read this article:
    http://www.gearsoftware.com/wiki/index.php/CD/DVD_drives_disappear_after_install ing_iTunes
    I did not have any AFS drivers.
    This is what I did and my optical drive is now working:
    1. Backed up iTunes
    2. Unistalled iTunes
    3. Tried to install iTunes 10.7 for Windows 64
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/#itunes
    4. When iTunes tried to launch I received the message "iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes"
    5. My computer would not recongize the optical drive at all now
    6. I re-installed iTunes 11.0.5 for Windows 64
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/#itunes
    7. All my iTunes data is there and my optical drive works now
    Note: I should clarify that before uninstalling iTunes 11.0.5 my optical drive worked sometimes. It would play maybe one song, both in iTunes and Windows Media Player and then stop working. The drive would also pop open on its own whether there was a disc in there or not. Also sometimes I had to manually open the drive with a paper clip.

  • Cd drive doesn't work after installing iTunes

    I installed iTunes and started to try and rip cd's into the library but the cd drive isn't working any more..  Something about the driver, which I updated, or it also says the registry is incomplete for the cd drive.  I ran into this once before on another computer, but I forget how to fix this.  I tried to do a system restore to before I installed iTunes, but my computer wouldn't let me restore.  Any suggestions?

  • Can someone tell me how to enable and ipad that has been disabled without using iTunes

    My sons ipad is in disabled mode and his mom doesn't have access to iTunes. Can anyone tell me how I can get it working again?

    Take it to an Apple Store for assistance. However, the iPad will be returned to its out of the box configuration (erased). You may be asked to provide proof that the iPad is yours.

  • Can I use my MacBook Pro as a DVD drive for my G5 to install an OS?

    My G5 tower had died. I was asked to back up my drive and perform a format on it. I have transferred the files back onto the computer, but when I star up the computer it just blinks an old OS9 style folder with the finder face and then a question mark. The obvious action to take would be to install the original disks but the DVD drive has been not working for some time. Is there a way I can plug my MacBook Pro to my G5 tower and use the DVD drive from my MacBook Pro as an external disk drive. Or can I install the OS remotely from my MacBook Pro?
    Any help would be appreciated because even though my G5 is old, I'd still like to have it as a back up computer.
    Regards

    Connect the two computers with a FireWire cable, insert the installation disk into the MacBook Pro, start the MacBook Pro up with the T key held down, and install the OS.

  • HT1212 I have an iphone 3 which has been disabled, I've put it into recovery mode but itunes won't connect to it. I know the password but the device wn't give me the option to add it. What else can I do to enable the device. I can't wipe it from the cloud

    I have an iphone 3G which has been disabled after a child tried to get into it. Itunes will not connect until I have put the passcode in but the device will only enable emergency calls and does not allow a passcode to be put in. I have put it into recovery mode and itunes can't see it. There is currently no SIM card in it and it's not connectng to the wifi so I can't wipe it from the cloud. Any ideas how I can get into it?

    iPhones require a SIM for activation.
    Put the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore via iTunes.
