Upon opening Itunes I get a warning that my registry settings are missing

When I open Itunes I get a warning message that my registry settings are missing. How can I fix this?

(Apologies for butting in, wha.)
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.)

I keep getting the message that my registry settings are missing for importing and burning cd's and dvd's. Why?

I keep getting the message that my registry settings are missing for importing and burning cd's and dvd's. Why?
I've completely uninstalled iTunes per the support instructions and reinstalled. But I still get the error message each
time I click on the iTunes icon. I went into iTunes support and searched for registry settings and got an error message 404.
It was no help.

Hey JWeaver208,
Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. If you continue to see this message after uninstalling and re-installing iTunes, you may need to install the device filter in the Windows registry, as outlined in this resource:

My iTunes is telling me that the registry settings are missing for importing and burning cd's and dvd's and to reinstall. I do reinstall and it is still not there and I have at least 4 times.

I get an alert about the registry settings are missing and to reinstall iTunes. It did that and still get the warning. ITunes won't recognize my iPhone as a result.

I get an alert saying "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 reinstalled iTunes, restarted pc, and I checked what other CD/DVD burning software by searching on DVD. Results: Cyberlink DVD suite deluxe, HP Smartmedia DVD , and Windows DVD Maker, all of which I've had forever. Should I delete these and try to reinstall iTunes again? Are there other reasons that this message pops up?

Got the same Pop-up and Apple Sppt told me that UNinstalling Quicktime had fixed this issue in most other cases. I asked IF I had to start over with Uninstalling iTunes, and she answered Yes.
Read my too-long thread (below) that has an Apple Sppt link at the start about Manual Deletes of several Apple Folders/files being a Key to a proper Uninstall / Re-install of iTunes.
Do as much as you want but this is what experience led me to so far. We haven't done it yet since the iPhone Sync'd OK and CD burning is not a priority.

Upgrade iTunes to the latest version. It should be 10.5.3.

I recently transfered everything from my emac to another one but now when I try to open iTunes I get the window that states: The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.

I recently transfered everything from my emac to another one but now when I try to open iTunes I get the window that states: The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. The computer I transfered to had a bunch of files on it and I got full ownership of what was already there, so, how do I get to my iTunes library, I do have access as an administrator to the iTunes library (that works just fine) already there and I guess I must have had a newer version ofiTunes on my defunt eMac....

Tell us some version numbers please, of your Mac OS versions and iTunes versions on both computers (two eMacs yes?).

That is a pretty good guess.Try updating the second eMac's iTunes to at least the version that was on the first.

That one is often a compatibility mode problem. Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

TS1424 downloaded an entire album and everything is fine on my iPod, but on the computer 7 tracks have an exclamation point and when I try to play those track I get a message that the original files are missing.

Exlamation point on 7 tracks from an entire album, all the others are fine. It won't play on the laptop, I get an error message that the original files are missing. But they play fine on the iPod.

Try deleting those missing tracks from your computer's iTunes, connect the iPad to your computer and do File > Transfer Purchases - that should copy them back from the iPod

HT1296 Upon opening itunes i get "a newer version of "app" is already in your library, do you want to replace it?

Every time I open iTunes on my PC, even without my phone plugged in, I get a message of "A newer version of "(app name)" already exists in your iTunes library, are you sure you want to replace it?"
How can I get this to stop? It just started happening in the past 2 days, never happened before that.
Help!!! I need to turn this off somehow?!?!?!?

Try to drag the old Firefox version to the trash to see if that allows to install the new version.

HT6001 I'm trying to update my iphone 4. When I try to open itunes, I get a warning, which won't let me get into itunes. The warning is (!)

I'm trying to update my iphone 4. I'm unable to open itunes. When I do, I get a symbol of ( ! )
in a yellow triangle.

Restore as a NEW device to test. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file, or maybe it's one of your apps causing the trouble. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.

I am using the Good for Enterprise app to synch my outlook email and when I try to turn on ICloud to synch my music in ITunes I get a warning that I will not be able to synch my Iphone 4S with my computer. Does this mean my office PC or home Mac?

I am using Good For Enterprise on my Iphone 4s to connect with my Office PC Outlook email system. I am having trouble synching my Itunes music from my Mac at home with my IPhone 4s. I am considering using ICloud to share the music as I also have an IPad2. When I go to turn on the ICloud application, I get a message that alerts me to the fact I will no longer be able to synch with my computer. Does that mean with my Office PC and my Outlook email, or my Mac and my home email and other applications? I want to use the ICloud but don't want to screw up my Good for Enterprise application and connectivity with my Office PC and Outlook email. What should I do to be able to update all my tunes and photos on my IPhone 4S and IPad2 from my Mac?

I seem to never tire of saying this. It was for Apple when they first announced 10.7 to disclose this. Yes, it was widely reported -- or rather, rumored -- but not by Apple. And many people who have gotten caught by this assumed that Apple itself would have told them beforehand about the loss of this very important feature which they had come to rely on. As far as I know, not even in fine print, does this appear anywhere on the Lion announcement or any of its links.
I am not saying Apple had to continue Rosetta in Lion, or forever, just that if it was going to be dropped, it should have been made known.
As relative "insiders" we should not forget that many people don't have the time, habit or interest to do this kind of research. I think it is a breach of trust that Apple has never directly made this announcement or given people the opportunity to decide beforehand if giving up their PPC apps for a new OS is a worthwhile tradeoff.
