Upgraded to a Superdrive...why won't iTunes recognize it?

I recently had a guy install a Superdrive on my eMac. Now when I got to burn a CD or DVD in iTunes, I get a message that says: "Disc Burner or Software Not Found." Grrr. What should I do?

If patchburn doesn't fix it, you made need to open the case back up and double check the cables (ribbon and power cable). Make sure the cables are securely and correctly attached (generally the blue end of the ribbon cable goes to the board and the black end to the drive).
If the cables are secure, then check the jumper settings found on the back of the drive--many drives work best when set to the Cable Select (CS) jumper position; if you don't know which jumper position is CS and it is not labeled by the jumpers on the back of the drive, it generally will be found on a diagram on top of the drive--meaning the drive must be removed and checked or that you'll be doing some trial and error. If other applications recognize the burner and iTunes still doesn't after patchburn and connection settings, try updating or repairing disk permissions through Disk Utility.

  • Why won't iTunes recognize some of my songs?

    I can't figure out why iTunes will not recognize over 100 of my songs.  I recently purchased a 7th gen iPod to replace the other one which was stolen.  Never had a problem with anything before the new iPod was installed, registered etc.  Any advice?  Thanks

    Hi dpjakob,
    My interpretation of your question is that iTunes has lost its link to 100 of your songs. When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. For this issue, we will need to refer to the following article:
    iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
    Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:

  • Why won't iTunes recognize all the pictures in a folder I am trying to sync

    I am trying to add a separate folder  with 160 pictures in it to my iphone 4 but iTunes is only recognizing 83 of them the are all jpeg and roughly the same size they are not read only.

    Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

  • Why won't itunes recognize my iphone 3 on my new mac book air?

    I just got a brand new mac book air for the holiday and I migrated all my files over from my old computer, but when I connect my iphone 3 to the new computer, itunes did not recognize it in the finder.  I was able to sync and back up some files. And the computer knows that the device is connected (I checked in the System information file and it is listed as being connected. The phone also charges when it is connected, and I can sync my files). I have gone through many of the already relevant suggested fixes (used different USB port, changed cable, restarted computer, restarted phone) and still nothing has changed.  I am running mac OS X 10.8.2 on my laptop and I have version 6.0.1 on my iphone.
    I haven't re-installed itunes yet, as some have suggested as the laptop is brand new. 
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

  • Why won't itunes recognize/play from my library on time capsule

    I have a macbook air running mountain lion 10.8.2
    1 TB Time Capsule
    Itunes 11.0.1
    Iphoto 10.8.2
    Its been my goal for a long time to get all of my music and all of my photos onto the time capsule and be able to pull them up via itunes and iphoto directly from the hard drive.
    ) the new itunes version updated and erased all of my playlists and most of my music/movies/apps etc.         such a nightmare
    ) so since everything was defunct anyway, I move my itunes file over to the time capsule. Changed the reference folder in iTunes preferences
    Keep iTunes Media folder organized is checked
    Copy files to itunes media folder when adding to library is checked
    Then I went to File>Library>organize library
    Then restarted itunes
    ) Itunes doesn’t pull up all of my movies and media still
    ) If I click on a song from the itunes folder on the time capsule – it plays and adds to the itunes screen.  if I drag the whole folder onto the itunes screen, it seems to be busy copying etc. but in the end nothing changes.
    ) If I click on an .m4v file, it doesn’t open with itunes and doesn’t give that as an option. If you search for itunes app to open it, you have to search through folders to find it.   Even after you get it to open in itunes, I don’t think the movie is stay

    You can use the Time Capsule for storage but not as a media Server
    The Time Capsule / Airport with external drive can act as media STORAGE, but neither will run as a media SERVER. You will need at least one Mac running iTunes, with sharing turned on, and/or a media extender program like Null River's Media Link which will create a standard uPnP front-end that a PS3, Xbox or similar can poll.
    A Mac Mini is often used as a media server... but might not be as cost-effective as other solutions...

  • Why won't iTunes recognize my iPod, ever since I got an external hard drive

    I got an external drive and store my library there on the external drive. Ever since, iTunes will not recognize my iPod so I cannot update anything. Any suggestions?? Do I need to store the music on my hard drive and only use the external drive for back up?

    If you want to make another drive (direct or portable) on your PC the main music location for iTunes, move all song files there, as well as any future imported music from CDs, here is one method (see the links below):
    You will maintain your playlists, ratings, comments, etc. This will only move your music folders location, NOT your iTunes program files. It is my opinion that programs (i.e. – iTunes) work better when installed on your main hard drive. At the very least, it makes it easier to manage all your programs if they are centrally located on one hard drive (the Windows default standard).
    See these links for some step-by-step info:
    iLounge: Moving your iTunes Library to a New Hard Drive
    MacMuse: iTfW: Move iTunes music/Library to new drive
    iTunes: Moving your iTunes Music folder
    If you are moving the music to an external hard drive or network drive, after the transfer, and to work correctly, the drive must be running prior to your opening iTunes. If not, iTunes will reset the location of your music folder location to the default.

  • Why won't iTunes 11.0.1 sync my Podcasts to my 3rd Gen iPod Touch on IOS 6.0.1?

    Why won't iTunes 11.0.1 sync my Podcasts to my 3rd Gen iPod Touch on IOS 6.0.1?  I'm running iTunes on my MacBook with Mac OSX 10.6.8.  I've checked to make sure in iTunes that the Podcast Sync box is checked and it is.  I've tried checking communities and tried several suggestions and nothing seems to work for me.  Everything else syncs except Podcasts.  I can't figure it out. Any suggestions to get Podcasts syncing to my iPod Touch again?  Thanks!

    One other step I've tried was removing and completely reinstalling the playlist to the iPod. That cleared up the problem for about two days.

  • Why won't iTunes read an RSS file

    I have had Radio National podcasts in itunes for a while but it has not updated since Dec 13 and I went to the website to download the new podcasts and it says that I do not have a RSS reader loaded?
    Why won't itunes do it?
    thanks
    Lee

    Are you talking about one of these:
    http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/podcasts/program/
    Click where it says 'Subscribe in iTunes'. When the page opens, click 'View in iTunes'. When iTunes opens and shows the Store page click 'Subscribe'.
    If that doesn't answer it, you need to give more details as to what exactly you are doing.
