Upgrading to itunes 11 cd rom disappears, using windows 7

after installing itunes 11.4 and using windows 7 on pc, the cd rom disappeared, finally fixed that situation, but now having problem with when opening 11.1.3.8 itunes I get the message that the registry files to burn cds are missing and should reinstall itunes, which I am not going to do and start all over again and loss my cd rom drive, not going to happen!
so anyone have a fix to this problem, I tried to set the registry as per the instructions from apple to no avail, any help is welcomed, thanks!!! Dot

If you really want to roll back to 11.1 uninstall all iTunes/Apple components, restore a version of the library that was backed up during an upgrade past 11.1 as described in Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash, then download and install from one of these direct links:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-01-22)
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-01-22)
Note iTunes 11.1 was released back in January and there have been several updates since. You may have to go back to quite an old library file. See  iTunes Folder Watch for a tool that can help update the iTunes library so that it reflects the content of the media folder.
If you have trouble uninstalling or reinstalling see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
If you, or others, want the most recent version of iTunes prior to 12 then use these links instead:
iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-09-09)
iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-09-09)

  • Upgraded to iTunes 11.2.2.3 on Windows - Download All button missing for Podcasts

    After upgrading to iTunes 11.2.2.3 on Windows, now the Download All button is missing in Podcasts.  I used to be able to click an icon with a cloud and an arrow next to the title of the podcast (not next to the title of a specific podcast), and it would download all the available podcasts for that title.  Now the icon is missing, and I have to scroll through a whole list of sometimes 20, 30, 40 podcasts for each title to manually download each one. 
    I tried reinstalling iTunes.  No change. 

    Figured this out!!  Go to the bottom right corner where it says Show: Unplayed/My Episodes and Saved.
    Change this to Show: Feed.
    You will then want to expand the podcast arrow, and the download all button is there again!  Phew, that was going to be killer.  Let me know if this works for you.

  • I have upgraded my itunes to 12.4 on my windows xp service pk system and it doesn't recognize my ipod half of the time and won't sync it! What can I do about this?

    I have upgraded my itunes to 1.4 on my windows xp service pk 3 system and now it won't recognize my ipod and let me sync it half of the time.  What can I do about this?

    It's not a "Reset" (except for the Reset of the iPod and possibly powering off the computer).  It's meant to be a test to see if there might be interference between connected USB devices, or if the total power draw of all connected USB devices is too high for your computer's USB bus.  If it always works when the iPod is the only connected device, but only sometimes works when you connect it with other devices, it may be one of those issues.  When it works, the set of connected (or active) devices is OK. 
    If this is the case, you can go through a process of elimination to determine which device or combination of (active) devices causes the problem.  NOTE:  If one of your devices is an external hard drive that gets power from the USB port, power draw may be higher if it is currently active (spinning).  Also, the power draw of the iPod may be higher when it is charging its battery and/or syncing.
    Or are saying that the connected USB devices does not seem to matter, but doing a computer shut down always makes the iPod connect immediately after startup, but then the problem returns later?

  • ITunes won't open after using Windows Media Center

    Today I used Windows Media Center so I could play my music and videos through my X-Box. Now when I try to open iTunes it comes up with the message "The folder itunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this folder". Nothing has been changed, I did not lock anything, and now the folder automatically reverts itself to Read-Only. Please help

  • Upgraded to iTunes 7, get the error report window!

    I just upgraded to iTunes 7 from the most recent 6 version. When I tried to open iTunes, however, I got the Windows error message, "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. " In the error report, it said that the file "C:\DOCUME~1\MAXWEN~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\5fa_appcompat.txt" would be included. How do I get iTunes to work again?

  • I receive an error message when trying to install the latest Itunes program on my computer using windows 7, 64. I receive the message, "service  apple mobile device fails to start"

    What must I do to install the latest Itunes program using windows 7, 64. The program stops when the service portion is installing and states, "Service Apple mobile division fails to start"

    Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
    I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
    Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
    "P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.

  • Trying to upgrade an itunes download and getting error message "windows installer did not finish as expected.  contact person or vendor"

    trying to upgrade my ITunes for my Iphone and cannot access content.   During upgrade getting message "windows installer did not finish as expected..contact vendor"

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

  • ITunes store thinks I am using WIndows

    Hi all!
    Have iTunes 7.6.2.9. Tried today to purchase music.
    Strange things.
    Until now iTunes store always answered that iTunes store is not available in our country (Russia). OK, accepted. Oficiallyt starts 21 April.
    But tried today. No problems with the availability (strange). But says that review of the account is not possible, as date / time not set, or some problem with cookies.
    WHen clicking on MOre info, there is troubleshooting referring to iTunes for Windows. But I am on Mac OS X.
    May be the problem in the fact that I am going to Internet via Windows 2003 server network?
    thanks in advance

    Well. True, not too much to achieve until store is available later this month.
    The question was, why iTunes tells me I am using XP or 2000.
    Actually, I tried this morning, this problem did not exist anymore, and I was able to see my account.
    Thanks for reply

  • HT1349 I have a large Windows iTunes library (18k+ songs, 650+ movies, 2.4K TV shows) and since upgrading to iTunes 11 files are disappearing from my library. Some music files re-appear in the cloud which means I have to re-download and re-convert to MP3.

    iTunes 11 is rapidly becoming a disaster for me. I have a dedicated Windows 7 machine running iTunes to service 3 Apple TV's, 2iPhones, 2iPods, and an iPad. Itunes 11 is very sluggish with my large library and has now started 'losing' files to the cloud.  This means that music I purchased in 2005 is being removed from my library and subsequently seems to become available as a ne cloud download.  This may well be because I convert all ACC files to MP3 and delete the ACC (my ears are too old to care about the reduction in quality). Either way, it's detrsoying my playlists and means I have to re-download files.
    Does anyone know how to stop this?  I have no interest in the cloud (my library is too big and contains hundreds of ripped CD's and Vinyl records that can't be matched).
    Thanks

    Because back in the early days very few devices supported AAC so converting to MP3 allowed me to use iTunes and other devices (like a $1000 dollar MP3 player with a 3.5" hard disk drive that pre-dated iPods ) as well as my gen 1 and 2 iPods.  I can't hear the difference (I'm old...) so the files being smaller is still an advantage (even though I have 64Gb iPods and iPhones these days.  Anyway, the major issue is iTunes deleting the MP3's and messing up my playlists because the file it downloads just goes in the library - not the original playlists. The secondary issue is how do I know it's truly replacing all the files it deletes. It's just scary and I don't like it. 
    BTW, I'm not anti-cloud and in fact use iCloud extensively with my iPhones/Apple TV's for photo sharing/backups but iCloud is useless for media sharing. I have just over 2tb of media data shared on my iTunes server (and remotely accessible on my iPhone/iPad using WebDav to my home server).
    ...and none of my media is pirated. I have crates of vinyl, CD's,DVD's, and Blu-Rays along with thousands of iTunes store receipts!

  • Tried to upgrade to iTunes 10.7, got error 7 (windows error 5). How do i fix this?

    Tried to upgrade and install the latest version of iTunes, 10.7 and received an error after install process. Error states that itunes was not installed properly, and a reinstall is necessary. Shows Error 7 (Windows error 5) in the message. No matter how many times I uninstall and reinstall, the same error persists. Already tried the MS .NET Framework upgrades to no avail. Anyone have any idea on how to fix this issue?

    A complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and related software components is worth a try (7s can indicate trouble with other software components like Apple Application Support). See the following documents for instructions:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    ... But if no joy there, let's check to see if there's a .NET issue underlying this:

    I have tried to download Itunes and it pulls up the selection of a directory and then does nothing

    Yes, it should run fine on Windows 8.1. Install from your disc or you can find the installers here: Download CS5 products. Either way, have your serial number ready.

  • HT1925 I am using windows XP and have iTunes version 11.0.5.5.  My iPhone 5 with current operating system will not link with my iTunes. It states I needed the newer version of iTunes. But I have been unable to update --automatic or manual. How do I update

    I am using an older windows computer with Windows XP and iTunes 11.0.5.5.  Since upgrading my iPhone and iPad my system will not allow me to connect the devices to my iTunes -- it notes I need to upgrade to iTunes 11.5.  However using automatic updates or manual update I can not update iTunes -- I get an error message the older windows iTunes could not be removed. I can not remove iTunes using control panel -- an older install/uninstall file is evidently missing. All of my music is contained on my PC -- more music is on my PC than I store on my other devices and I don't want to loose those music files nor permission to access those music files. Does anyone have a solution to uninstalling and upgrading windows iTunes without losing my music. I would like to be able to connect my iPhone and iPad to my PC again. RS
