Hello,
Any help I can get will be very much appreciated. I keep getting an error message when I open ITunes. The error message says "the registry setting for importing and burning cds are missing..."
I deleted and reinstalled itunes twice to no avail. Anyone knows what I can do?
I am ruuning on Windows XP.
Thanks
Mary

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

  • Registry setting for burning cds missing?   how can i fix?

    I keep getting an error message when trying to burn a cd that the registry setting for burning cds is missing.  I've totally uninstalled and reinstalled all componets of itunes with no success.  Can anyone help please. 

    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.)

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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 ?

  • Registry settings for drivers are missing..Please reinstall iTunes

    I haven't been able to find a post with a similar problem.. please forgive me if it's already been dealt with.
    I got this new computer last week, a Dell Studio 15 running Vista. A few days later I installed iTunes 8 with no problems. I started importing my music, no problems. Today I opened iTunes and a warning message came up:
    "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
    I clicked OK but itunes opened and worked fine. I imported and burned cds with no problem on iTunes (I've played a DVD on WMP, but that's the only other media program I've used), so iTunes seems to recognize my cd drive. Eventually I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes to get rid of that message, but it still came up. I also tried repairing iTunes, but that didn't get rid of it either.
    What I don't understand is why the message still comes up even though it has no problems importing or burning cds. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm having exactly the same issue and it seems this can help:
    iTunes uses GEAR software drivers for importing and burning CD’s & DVD’s. Re-installing (or installing the latest GEAR drivers seems to fix this problem. No reboot required for this install.

    I am using OS  64 bit Windows Vista Home Premium and recently updated the latest version of iTunes. (I only have this CD burning software on my Laptop). Ever since updating, I  received the message 'Registry settings for the iTune drivers are missing for CD burning'. The drivers for Lower and uppper filters in the registry are missingand I now have no optical drive.  I have unistalled and  reinstalled Itunes and manually entered the filters. Have tried everything including something called GEAR driver installer which was suggested on several technical sites. Everything  was working fine in iTunes until I updated it.. It's strange I can still import music but not burn?? Friend s have told me they have ha dthe same problem when updating iTunes but resolved the problem by uninstalling/reinstalling or altering registry keys.

    Many thanks b Noir
    This is a copy of ONEof the keys  in the registry I changed  as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR  software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others  they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so  I downloaded the software and installed again.
    Sorry, just this minute went to insert image  and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content  is not allowed?.
    The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr  SiRem GEARAspiWDN.
