Re: Disc Burner or Software not found...

When trying to burn a CD I get the message "Disc burner or software not found"

Itunes is not recognizing my CD burnner. I have no trouble importing music nor do I have any problems burning CDs outside of itunes. I have actually been having this problem for some time now. I kept hoping that it would be fixed in an update but alas the problem has persisted. Strangly I noticed in the diagnostic it says the the user in not an administrator which is odd since I am logined in as an Admin. Can anyone help? Here is my diagnostic:

I am receiving the message "disc burner or software not found" when trying to burn a playlist to a blank disc.

I ran the diagnostics test and the program was unable to detect a prerecorded cd. This is a fairly new problem and I am not sure what to do.

Hello queenabs,
It sounds like you are trying to burn a playlist to a disc in iTunes, but you are getting the error, "disc burner or software not found." I found a couple of resources that I think might help with an error like this.
I recommend starting with the steps in this article:

I KEEP GETTING MESSAGE WHEN DISC BURNING, DISC BURNER OR SOFTWARE NOT FOUND

i keep getting the message: disc burner or software not found when i try to burn a playlist...i know that i have a burner because i can use other apps to burn on that drive...could it be that my burner is not supported by itunes?

There's a few different things that can cause that message, daniel, so we'd better have a closer look at your system.

Hey tfrith,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are having issues burning a playlist to disc in iTunes for Windows. The following article provides three probably solutions, I have outlined them below:
iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308
Solution 1
Check with your manufacturer to see if there are updated software drivers for your optical drive. For more information about updating the firmware of your CD or DVD drive, see article HT3206.
Solution 2
1. Launch Windows Explorer.
2. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\drivers\.
3. Check to see if either of the following two files are present. These files from a third-party software vendor are not supported by Windows and can cause driver conflicts with optical drives:
- afs.sys
- afs2k.sys
4. If either of the files in Step 3 are present, move them out of the system32 folder. You should keep these files stored somewhere on your hard drive, as some of your older peripherals may require them. If you need the files in the future to use a device, you may move them back into the system32 folder temporarily.
5. Reboot Windows.
Solution 3
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Manually remove the GEAR driver software using the steps found here under the section "Removing GEAR Drivers."
3. Remove any stand alone GEAR software installers from the Programs and Features control panel, if present.
4. Install the updated GEAR driver.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Help please - iTunes disc burner or software not found... with full troubleshooting details

In iTunes 11.1.3.8 on my Windows 8 HP Laptop, when trying to "Burn Playlist to Disc", I get the Burn Settings window "E: hp DVD A DS8A9SH", then I select MP3 CD and click "Burn", I unfortunately get the dreaded iTunes "disc burner or software not found...". I think this is the second time this has happened (first time I think a simple reboot fixed it), and I assume because iTunes was updated this issue came back again and I cannot burn MP3 cds anymore because of it!
I've followed all steps outlined in this support article "iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install" (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308)
Solution 1, no updated firmware was available for dvd drive.
Solution 2, not relevant because those files were not present when I looked for them.
Solution 3, I'm familiar with regedit and did exactly what the step by step instructions told me including rebooting multiple times to completely remove Gear drivers/keys, installing the new Gear driver files with their official setup file "For 32-bit and 64-bit systems:" from http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/drivers.php (and gave another reboot just in case) and opened iTunes at the very end of the entire process.
Still getting the dreaded "disc burner or software not found..." error when trying to burn a playlist to a CD. The weird thing is when I click Burn playlist to a CD, I see the DVD drive "E: in the next prompt which asks for Data CD/MP3 CD, Audio CD.
So I clicked on Help > Run Diagnostics, selected "CD/DVD Drive tests" only and clicked "Next".
Window says "To begin the test, please insert a prerecorded audio cd..." so I did that and clicked "Next".
Under "Choose an optical drive to test:", the drop-down menu only shows "[Choose a Drive]", no other options. Under "Optical drive:" it says "No drive chosen for testing.", and I click the "Next" button.
Here are the diagnostics output I got:

I'm extremely confused as to what to do next. I was thinking I should try reinstalling iTunes but I'm not sure that would even work and I'm so paranoid about installing it correctly and referencing the right existing library files that I'd like to see other suggestions first.
Any help from the community or Apple would be tremendously appreciated and I would be glad to do more testing and provide more details. Thanks!

Disc burner or software not found - trying to burn to internal combo drive

For whatever reason, my wife "Software Update"-installed 10.4.11 and iTunes 7.5 on her aging 800MHz iBook.
Now, as she goes to burn CDs in iTunes, she gets the message "disc burner or software not found"
The mechanism is the stock, internal Combo Drive, and IS seen by the advanced preferences in iTunes, as well as when making a "burn folder" in the finder.
I have repaired permissions as an earlier thread suggested, and even downloaded and reinstalled iTunes 7.5 (and re-repaired permissions), but it's not helping.
???

thanks, but rebooting/restarting, even zapping PRAM didn't help here. (+repairing permissions etc as mentioned above)
Still stuck

Keep getting Disc Burner or software not found when trying to burn a CD

I am not able to burn a playlist to a CD and get an error at the top of Itunes window "Disc Burner or Software Not Found". I have been able to burn CDs in the past with this same computer but had some issues with songs in itunes. Support had me uninstall Itunes and reinstall. I have also uninstalled the device in the device manager and re-installed it. I really don't know what to try except to ask for help here. I would appreciate any direction I can get. I have a Dell desktop XPS running on Windows 8.

Hi daurel,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you receive the error "Disc Burner or Software Not Found" when trying to burn CDs. You mention that you've already tried removing and reinstalling iTunes, and other drivers, and these are good steps.
If the situation continues, be sure to try the tips in this article:
