The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning.
Please Help! Problem Burning CD's with iTunes 8!?
I downloaded iTunes 8 a few days ago. I think something went wrong, and it was taking a long time, so I canceled it, but it was nearly finished. When I opened iTunes, everything was fine, and all the new stuff (Genius and whatever else) was there, but this message came up:
Warning! The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CD's and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes.
So, I went to the Apple website and clicked "download iTunes 8", and a box came up that asked me if I wanted to repair iTunes, or do something else. Obviously it knew I had already downloaded it, so I clicked "Repair". It ran, and it said everything worked. Then I clicked on iTunes, hoping the burning would work. The same message came up as before. When I tried to burn a CD, a similar message came up. WHAT DO I DO? Thank you.
Here is the solution!
Go to this website: http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/drivers.php
Download the proper driver and install.
I am running Vista. I had two, actually three problems. First was that for some reason, my CD/DVD drive disappeared. I found that the solution to this was to delete the LowerFilters and UpperFilters strings in the registry. That worked and I got my CD drive back. However, I then got that pesky error message from iTunes. That was the second problem. The third problem was that I could no longer burn CD's of my playlists from iTunes and it said that the "disc burner or software was missing." Going online, I discovered that I was not the only one experiencing these three problems.
I happened to find the solution about the Gear drivers at http://www.pcdoctor-guide.com/wordpress/?p=2726. Installing the x32_x64 driver, of course, worked for me since I'm running a PC laptop. This took care of all three problems for me.
If you notice, the other post about editing the registry makes reference to the Gear ASPI driver. Gear is the one (as you would read on the first link) that provides the drivers for software to burn CD's.

Everytime I connect my iPod Touch (4th Gen) to my laptop, running Win 7 (64 bit) I get the message "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 have reinstalled iTunes several times and it has not fixed the issue. I am running ver 10.2.2.12 of iTunes. I HAVE NOT installed any other burning software to my laptop either. I haven't tried uninstalling iTunes and then re-installing it yet. Would that perhaps fix the problem? I've read that many users have had issues with the new version of the software and I was wondering if that might be causing my issue. I'd like to point out that iTunes seems to work after getting rid of the message, but I haven't tried to burn any CDs or put music from a CD to my laptop. Any ideas on how to get rid of the annoying message?
I also am having trouble hooking up with our other computers using Homegroup. I noticed quite a lot of people are having the same issue and hopefully they come up with a fix for that soon.

iTunes for Windows: "Registry settings" warning when opening iTunes
If you're still getting the error message (especially when you plug in the Touch), I'd check for a device filter confusion on the PC. (They can affect the connection of USB devices to a PC, as well as burning and importing CDs.) For that one, see:

When starting iTunes I continually get an error message " 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 have unistalled and reinstalled iTunes several times and have cleaned up the registry using a 3rd party Windows utility. Any tips on removing this error message for good?

This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall itunes" This I have done. obviously I cannot burn CDs but worse still is my ipod is not being recognised by itunes and will not sync. I have not installed any new burning softeware. Any suggestions please?

iTunes for Windows: "Registry settings" warning when opening iTunes -
Each time I launch iTunes (latest version) on Windows 7 (w/ latest system updates) I receive the following error msg:
"Warning! 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."
When I click on "OK" iTunes completes the launch process and the application functions properly. This error msg appears without fail every time I launch the app.
I have reinstalled iTunes four times and continue to receive this message. iTunes is set in the system Control Panel as the default program for all functions that iTunes uses. I never burn CDs or DVDs and have never attempted to do so on this machine. I have had iTunes on this computer since I bought it last November and never had a problem with it until 2 months ago when this message began popping up. I did not notice any action I took that caused this, in terms of creating conflicts.
I hope someone can assist me in finding a way to stop this annoying error! Thanks!

The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing
Error on Itunes start-up. Must click OK before Itunes will start.
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 have reinstalled iTunes using their complete uninstall instructions.
iTunes does seem to work after OK is clicked, I'm just tired of having to hit OK.
Other thoughts... This started after the iTunes update required to go to IOS 6 for my devices. I'm able to sync my devices. It is possible that ZoneAlarm (my Antivirus and Firewall) got in the way at install. It flagged something and I denied it. I was doing multiple things at the time and the flag did not have any indication about iTunes. I have tried shutting down ZoneAlarm for the install and that has not helped either.
Will try another full uninstall that includes uninstalling ZoneAlarm...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.)

What can I do to correct this error: 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 have reinstalled several times but it hasn't changed this error message. Why am I able to burn a CD using Media Player but not iTunes? I am using Windows XP and I have burned cds from iTunes in the past.

The Registry Settings Used by the itunes drivers for importing and Burning CD's are missing
I get the following error message in the latest version of iTunes on start-up
The Registry Settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and Burning CD's and DVD's are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes.
I tried troubleshooting from a guide on another apple support page and it worked but stopped the DVD Drive working and I have tried reinstalling iTunes but that failed and I don't know what to do and how to get rid of this error on start-up of iTunesFor general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
