Registry settings for burning CDs/DVDs missing when Itunes installed

I have recently had to reinstall ITunes following a computer crash. I am unable to burn to CD - when I start up ITunes I am told that the "registry settings are missing" and am told to reinstall, which I have done without success. I have not loaded any other CD/DVD burning software, and can burn CDs using other programmes. Any ideas? Thank you.

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.)

    are generic and do not address the problem I've described in numerous posts - I have read and implemented these suggestions with out success. When launched, itunes complains that "the registry settings used by itunes drivers for importing and burning CDs/DVDs are missing" is missing CD drivers. When I acknowledge the problem and try to burn CDs from itunes the error message "disk recording is not found" is received.

    If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
    Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

    Failed loading CD / DVD drives, error -43. Try doing a repair install on iTunes from the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel.
    The last failed audio CD burn had error code -128(0xffffff80). It happened on drive F: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-104 on CDR media at speed 0X.
    The CD burner works on other programs! Problem occurred with upgrade to latest version of itunes.
    1. Installed of the latest gear drivers
    2. Upgraded burner firmware
    3. Reloaded/repaired itunes on numerous occasions
    4. Using latest latest Nero software from an Admin account and launched program to ensure Nero Burner rights are installed.
    5. Performed registry hacks & removed values of upper/lower filters as prescribed (no joy).
    There are NUMEROUS people having this problem with no assistance; reference http://discussions.apple.com/myposts.jspa
    Help Please!

    Yes, your green bookmarked article really solved my question.

    Have you tried redownloading the GEAR drivers from feed://www.gearsoftware.com/rss/GEAR-drivers-feed.php ?
    Sometimes reinstalling them fixes the problem.
    I also found this wiki post that might help - http://www.gearsoftware.com/wiki/index.php?title=CD/DVDdrives_disappearing_due_to_incorrect_registryentry

  • Missing registry entries for burning CDs

    I used iTunes to burn soe playlists. This worked well. However, I also installed Nero Exprss after that. After this when  I brought up iTunes it gave the message "MIssing registry entries - cannot import or burn CDs or DVDs - reinstall iTunes" Though I was still able to import CDs after that, I cannot burn CDs. The error does not go away even after re-installing iTunes several times (either usiing an Update or after unistalling and doing a fresh install).
    How can I fix this problem ?

  • "The registry setting used by itunes for burning CDs are missing"

    Whenever I start up Itunes... I get this error message.
    "The registry settings used by the Itunes drivers for importing & burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall Itunes".
    Problem is... when I reinstall itunes nothing changes.
    I've got Roxio cd-burning software installed on my computer. Is there a conflict with this software?
    I can't burn songs from Itunes on to a CD. I haven't tried importing a CD or DVD but I'm guessing that won't work either.
    Any advice??

  • Registry used by itunesdrivers for burning CDs are missing - help!

    Hello All.
    I have just upgraded my itunes from version 6 to the latest, and now it cannot see audio CDs or burn a CD. Everytime I start it up I get this message:
    +Warning! The registry used by theitunesdrivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall itunes.+
    If it helps, I have followed the information is this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5105496&#5105496
    ...but it still doesn't work. I also checked out this thread on Tech Support guy (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5105496&#5105496) but nothing there works either (although I haven't done the 'Delete SPTD.SYS from the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers folder.' etc instructions as I don't think I have daemon tools on this PC, unless they snuck in the back door somewhere). I also don't have other 'cd-burning software' - the PC came with a programme called Record Now, but there hasn't been a problem with that before.
    I'm not that technical, and don't know why nothing seems to work now. I would be very grateful if anyone can offer some advice, or can point me in the direction of a thread on here that might shed further light on this mystery. I have reinstalled, restarted, uninstalled, rebooted - everything I can think of!
    Thank you so much in advance,
    Jayne

    Hello again,
    Thank you for posting those links. This is now solved, and I am so happy!
    Basically I had to manually delete the gear files from the registry and then reinstall with the latest. Both of these instructions can be found via the links above, should anyone else come to this forum with the same issue. The instructions were clear, even to a novice like me.
    Thanks again, Polydorus, for all your help.

    I haven't verified the process myself, you will need to decide for yourself if it is worth trying.
    I think you might getaway with just the following part of the method:
    +Restart PC
    Make hidden files visible. (Windows Explorer Tools>>Folder options)
    Navigate to C:\Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data and look for an alphanumerically named folder containing an 'x86' subfolder. Mine was called {3276BE95AF08_429F_A64FCA64CB79BCF6} but it might change from system to system.
    Copy this folder to the Desktop.
    Open the copied folder on the Desktop, open the x86 sub-folder, right-click the GearAspiWDM.inf file and choose Install.
    Reboot.+

  • CD Revolution for Burning CDs/Dvds

    I don't like using disc utility, I follow the directions and it never works correctly to copy a cd. Seems like too much work. So I found CD Revolution, I downloaded the "Trial" version and it won't let me try it. The "Buy Now" thing pops up when the program opens and won't go away. I can't try out the software. Any suggestions? Are they just making you buy it right away now???

    irvineswimgirl,
    What kind of "CD" are you trying to burn? Disk Utility is great for burning data CDs and DVDs, but it cannot copy audio CDs. If that's what you're trying to copy, there's your problem.
    The tool to use in making backup copies of audio CDs is iTunes. Import the tracks from an audio CD into iTunes, place those tracks in a "Playlist," then burn the Playlist to a new, blank CD. Voila!
