Vista + iTunes (with Gear Drivers) = no CDRW Drive

Iv'e searched and troubleshooted this extensively and it appears the bottom line is that Gear Software is incompatible with my CDRW Drive and/or Vista. After an iTunes update, and rebooting my system, my drive (Sony DRU-710A) disapeared. The system could no longer recognize it. Turns out if I delete the UpperFilters registry entry (GEARAspiWDM) and reboot, the system recognizes the drive but then I get an error that iTunes needs a certain registry entry to function properly,and I can't burn CDs. I've updated my Gear Softare Drivers, my CDRW drive firmware and installed the latest iTunes... the only way to get it work now is... delete the registry entry, reboot windows so the OS recognizes it, then reinstall iTunes so it recognizes the drive...then I can burn a CD, but if I reboot, the system no longer sees the drive until i do it all over again.....this really stinks.... is the only way to get this to work to install a version of iTunes that doesn't use the Gear driver? and if so, which version do i need?

There appears to be a solution thanks to a poster on the Gear Software forum. Gear Software is the source for the Gearaspiwdm filter driver that is installed with iTunes.
Go to http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/forum/index.php and look for the post titled "Missing drives in iTunes - PLEASE READ!" which is located under GEAR Powered Products near the bottom of the page.
Registry changes should not be needed when using iTunes with Vista as many of you have found that such changes cause problems with iTunes. I'm currently using iTunes and another burning program which both place filter drivers in the registry entry for the cd/dvd drives and everything is working fine so check out the info mentioned above and post here if it helps. Thanks.

Itunes install trashes drivers for DVD drive

Installed iTunes V6 on Packard Bell MIT-RHE-B laptop
iTunes runs OK but driver for DVD drive (NEC ND6650A)is no more (yellow ! in device manager)
Only fix was to restore machine from CD (the drive was OK to boot from from the BIOS)
When restored "OnRec" (a DVD writer program) was uninstalled, the machice rebooted & iTunes reinstalled.
Guess what same problem, the DVD drive driver was again trashed.
Has anyone got any ideas? Please dont say get a new laptop, which belongs to my 19 year old neice.

Yeah, this seems to be a Packard Bell specific problem and yes I do know how to fix it. I am going to copy and paste what I wrote to another Packard Bell user just so I dont have to retype it. I really think this is a Packard Bell issue...
For the most part, what's occurring is one of two things. Either...
A) an application (such as iTunes, etc.) is installing a driver file (as a .SYS) or replacing a working driver file that is referenced within your registry. For some folks, the replaced driver is still referenced by either an UpperFilterCheck or a LowerFilterCheck, and the device manager is actually seeking out that file that, well... no longer exists. Or, when you try and uninstall the application (iTunes is the frequent transgressor) everything is removed, including the related driver files, but the registry isn't altered... so the device manager continues to try and locate that driver file... which no longer exists.
or
B) a virus (or trojan) burrows its way into your file structure, and creates an element of itself disguised as a .SYS file. We've seen this happen before with viral elements disguising themselves as audio or video card driver files, in the efforts of masking themselves from lower-class anti-virus programs (or un-updated ones). In this case, they take on the name of a driver file that the optical drives are "familiar" with, and so, with the intention of being "fast, friendly, and efficient", the optical drives are tapped to utilize this new "driver" file... and it gets referenced in the registry as such.
However, when your anti-virus actually snaps to it, and removes the virus / trojan, and you go off on a virus-killing mission, galavanting through the registry and cleaning the little buggers out in Safe Mode and everything... you might remove the viral elements... but... the reference to them might still remain. The device manager is still looking for that "driver file", and will cause the optical drives to lock up in a Code 39 or Code 41 because of it.
Either way, he thing to do to reclaim your optical drives is located in your registry here:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE1 0318}
You'll want to have that open, and a mini-window of the following:
START -> CONTROL PANEL -> SYSTEM -> Hardware (tab) -> DEVICE MANAGER -> Offending Drive (with yellow tag by it) Right-Mouse-Click and PROPERTIES -> Driver (tab) -> DRIVER DETAILS
Notice that list. It references all the drivers that that particular drive is utilizing. There should be a single .DLL (dynamic link library) file and multiple .SYS files. It's the .SYS files we're focusing on, and they should be located in your C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\ folder stem. If you want to open a new window explorer, and go verify that each of those driver files still exists in that folder stem, you may.
At this point, compare the Driver File Detail list with the Registry Tree Location you're sitting in, and look at the UpperFilterCheck and LowerFilterCheck key values. Your offending key value will NOT be on your Driver File Detail list!!! It might be as small as "PFC" or something else, but that value is referencing to a driver file that no longer exists. Delete that offending key value. Close the registry.
Close the Driver File Details and Drive Properties windows. At this point, to finish this up, you need to Soft Uninstall (Right-mouse-click on the drive, and hit "Uninstall" ) the drive(s), let the Device Manager refresh... then hit ACTION -> Scan For Hardware Changes ...
This should start a new Found New Hardware cycle, and.... poof!... your drives should be back to normal.
Here is a microsoft article, its regarding easy cd creater, but its pretty much a similiar thing

How to use itunes with music all on external drive?

I have a PC laptop - with Itunes installed. I have a LOT of music all organized neatly on an external drive.
Itunes folders obviously live on the internal drive, but music is all on external (not enough room on internal).
I can dump the folder from the external drive onto itunes, and all the music is there - great.
But I dont ALWAYS have that drive connected - and sometimes I open itunes when its not - for my phone sync or to buy something
from the itunes store.
I have done this for years, and only in more recent years has this become a problem - when I connect the drive, it has lost all the links to the
music on it. I go into "preferences/advanced" - and tell it to look at the folder on the external drive - and it looks like its re-establishing the links - but it still does not. This only used to happen rarely - and I would have to clear itunes, then drop the folder again - but now it does it every time that I re-attach the drive after I have used itunes when it was NOT attached.
I have to clear all my musis and then drop the folder again - which takes a while - I have tens of thousands of songs.
please help!
Thanks!

Try to use instructions for consolidating library from here, see if that helps. At some point I have noticed, especially with huge library it gets hard for itunes to keep information about different locations, unless you have external drive plugged permanently.

Issue with GEAR Software CD/DVD Drivers + Windows Vista Beta 2 (build 5384)

I am using Windows Vista Beta 2 (Build 5384), and yes I know Vista is NOT officially supported by iTunes yet. However, iTunes installs and works ok for me, except that there is an issue with the GEAR Software drivers that it installs (used for cd burning and importing). The issue is that the driver (GEARAspiWDM.sys) is not compatible with Windows Vista. Normally this would not be an issue; I would just use a different program to create audio cd's. The issue is that the drive makes both my DVD-Rom and my DVD/CD-RW drive disappears (they are still listed in the device manager, but they have driver errors, code 39).
So I was wondering if anyone in Mac/Apple land knows of a way to disable/uninstall the GEAR drivers so I can still use iTunes?
And yes I did search the GEAR Software support page, but could not find an appropriate solution.
Thank you.
Chuck Stewart

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.)

At this point I have a dvd drive, but Itune gives me a warning the registry settings for burning cd's and dvd's are missing and that I should reinstall itune. I've been in this loop at least 3 times. So, is their a fix, or I can have a dvd drive or itune but not both? many thanks for any assistance. Manny

It's probably best to first check for a device filter conflict:
iTunes for Windows Vista: Troubleshooting CD issues caused by device filters
But if you still get no DVD drive, *even when there's no filters in place but the iTunes ones,* then you're one of the unlucky ones.
At this stage, on some Vista PCs, the filters for the GEAR drivers that iTunes uses for burning and importing seem to be causing some conflicts. This article outlines your options:
Optical drives not recognized in Windows Vista after installing iTunes 7
It's probably worth keeping an eye on that document, in the interests of seeing if any new information becomes available. (Preferably information about a proper fix.)

Can't import audio CD into iTunes with Vista

I can't import audio CDs into iTunes with my new Dell 531 Vista computer. The songs seem to import, but only small (~50K) files are created, which don't play. Also, I cant play audio CDs using iTunes. CDs do play using Windows Media Player. The DVD/CD drive seems to work fine in all other applications.
I have tried the "device filter" regedit fix, but no luck. Anyone else have this problem?

JohnAndKel,
That's odd because the CD reading test that the diagnostics runs didn't report an error. What happens if you select a song from the CD in iTunes and play directly from CD?
(Just a note, the filter trick doesn't do anything for CD import, just CD burn. iTunes doesn't use the Gear drivers for reading the CD.)

Importing CD's into itunes with windows vista

I am having some trouble importing my cd's into itunes. When I insert the cd, it it recognized, and gives me the option to import. When I click yes, it imports the entire cd in about 5 seconds. When I go to play the songs added to my library, they are all 1 second long, and no sound plays. It also does the same thing when i try to play the song directly from the cd. It just goes from track to track every second.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, and still get the same problem. It is not my DVD drive, as the same cds import and play in windows media player. I am running windows vista home premium. Anyone have any ideas?

4Gb Nano - Vista JPE install iTunes 7.4.3.1 - USB driver not found

Help! I've tried all the re-installs and re-boots. I have a fully updated Vista HPE running on an AMD6200 with 2Gb memory. iTunes installs but the USB driver fails to install when the iPod is connected to the USB - the install program searches has search my hard disks and cannot find a driver when it searches the web. Anyone got any ideas on how the fix this?

Since making the post yesterday the fix was reasonably straight forward. See discussion 'windows vista wont install ipod drivers' posted by Nigel Savage Sep 19, 2007 7:20AM and reply by Brian.
Solution involves putting copies of latest version of usbstor.inf and usbstor.pnf from C:\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\'look for newest version of folder that start usbstor' into C:\windows\inf folder. Then re-install driver for iPod via control panel - administrative tools - computer management - system tools - device manager. With the ipod connected via the usb look for the icons with a yellow flash - it should now install ... it did for me!

ITunes GEAR Drivers

After clicking on the latest install package I get this message:
Unable to install the GEAR driver set at this time. The GEARAspiWDM used by the GEAR driver set is scheduled to be deleted during the next system reboot. Please reboot the system and run iTunes again.
Rebooted, same message.
Uninstalled iTunes, same message.
Any clues?

This is a very simple fix. You don't need to delete all the gear drivers.
Win XP: Goto Start, Run, then type Regedit
(This brings up the registry editor)
Vista: Goto Windows Button (Start) the typ Regedit in the search.
(This also brings up the registry editor)
In Regedit Goto: HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\GearAspiWDM
Inside there you will see 2 things. The .sys file (Which you keep !)
And the deletion flag that iTunes is
hanging up on.
(JUST REMOVE THE DELETION FLAG !)
Install iTunes and enjoy !

Windows vista/itunes compatibility w/disc drive

I've been round and round and finally found out that the new version of itunes knocks my cd/dvd drive out. Won't work at all. After two service trips, they tell me to download an older version of itunes (7.0.2) and all should be well. Did that and the drive is still working (so far). However, now I cannot open my itunes becuase it says that my library was created on a newer version. What can I do to rectify this? Thank you for any and all help that you may be able to offer.

For the issue with the CD/DVD drive not working, have you tried loading the Gear drivers from here? -> http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/drivers.cfm

hi
did you install sw ide when you installed system drivers?
nvidesm can be nvidia ide drivers.
they work for some and fore som not.
they messed up my harddrives.
when installing you get asked if you want to install them or not.
i dont know if these ide drivers are included in 2.03 but thought it could be worth mention.
but they are included on the cd that came with the motherboard.
i read in here that you dont have to reinstall windows to get rid of them.
you only have to install system drivers again and say no when asked to install them.
bye

Each time I connect to my IBM computer it crashes with blue screen error message pops up. Apple say that it's my printer/camera drivers. The problem is with iTunes, it likes to play with all the ports on my comp and conflicts with prnt drivers. How to fix

Does anyone know how to fix this problem without disabling my printer. It's very frustrating. It's either I have my iPad or my printer. iTunes likes to play with the ports on my computer thereby causing a conflict with my printer drivers. Apple should fix this problem, I'm so annoyed.

When this problem first happened, I searched for threads and found a few. See be;ow links:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1502
Apple say that its a driver problem, but I've never had this problem before so I am not convinced. Another thread, which I can't seem to find, suggests that it is an apple problem - itunes plays with the ports on the company causing conflicts with existing drivers. I isolated the conflict to my new Samsung printer. I uninstalled the Samsung printer driver and then can successfully connect my ipad without the blue screen appearing.
It's not a windows problem. Windows is working fine. Only happens when Ipad is connected. Actually, this first happened after I installed the new version of itunes. I reget installing the new itunes version, but don't know how to reinstall the previous itunes version.

Hp officejet pro 8000 a809 installed locally on vista business with driver 8.12.2008cant share to xp

My customer has a HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809 installed locally on Vista Business with driver 8.12.2008 He wants to share this for use on the XP PC but after installation on XP and trying to go into printer properties the message comes up "The HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809 Series' printer driver is not installed on this computer. etc etc Do you want to install the driver now? It doesnt matter if you go through the installation process or not, when you try and print a test page you get "Test page failed to print. Would you like to troubleshoot etc"
I have tried installing the XP drivers locally AND on the Vista PC but with no luck. On the shared tab under "additional drivers" there are only Vista drivers listed.
Any advice gratefully received.
Dan

Depending on the model of the unit it may not be wireless. if it says A809n then it is a wireless model, but the A809a model is not. http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01659070.pdf Here is the manual for that unit in case you need it.
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided! If you are not sure how to do this, please see the link below.

ITunes Causing Vista BSOD with RAID Errors

This thread is here to collate as much information and posts on the problem regarding BSODs occuring in Windows Vista and causing RAID errors to occur.
What Happens: Start iTunes and start performing a hard drive intensive task (Importing, converting etc). iTunes will seem to 'freeze', in some cases up to five minutes, but will regardless cause Windows Vista to BSOD. On restart the RAID array will complain of errors. Most cases are that restarting again and clearing the error will be fine, though there are some reports that people have had to rebuild their array.
Common Elements: Windows Vista, iTunes, Intel RAID Chipsets (ICH6R, ICH7R and ICH8R chipsets reported so far.

Custom Intel based Generic PC Windows XP Pro 750GB NAS Storage, DVDRW DL, 5th Gen 80GB iPod, 2nd Gen 8GB Nano (Both Black)
I'm running a dual boot with WinXP Pro SP2 as the primary OS, Vista RC1 on separate partition. I had Vista Ultimate (RC1) Release Candidate 1, a pre-release version of Vista up and running with iTunes version 7.1.1. Updating My Library, when system crashed and trashed my array.
I was running 2 400GB WD's when my RAID 1 erred. The array corrupted and after limping through several array rebuilds and Windows repairs, Win XP finally died and was unrecoverable.
I originally suspected an issue with Vista & iTunes, especially since I was running a pre-release version of Vista then I remembered reading a recent WD Support issue about some newer WD SATA Gen 2 drives failing in RAID arrays.
To make a long story short, thank God for my back-up NAS Drives, I lost my array. Traced the problem to a Raid compatibility issue with the WD drives running in full SATA ATA Gen 2 transfer rate mode and the Intel ICHR8 SATA RAID Controller. They don't play nice together when stressed with large file transfers. Replaced WD's with two Seagate 750's in RAID 1, running full SATA Gen 2 mode and have had no problems since.
Check out WD's Support forums, if you have newer WD's I'll bet it's a SATA RAID / Drive issue more than iTunes and Vista.

I need help with MSI CR52-A2 52x24x52x CDRW Drive

Hi,
I am running Windows XP Home Edition. My MSI CR52-A2 52x24x52x CDRW Drive will not work. When I restart my computer the light on it flashes red, green, red, green, red, green, etc... When XP is running, if I click on the drive under "My Computer" it opens up the drive but no files are found. If I try to add new hardware, I'm told that the drive is working properly. When I try to burn a CD with Windows Media Player I'm told no CD Burner is found on my system. Please help! Does this have to do with the BIOS?

Welcome to the forum superaverage.
1) Before posting any problems related to your optical drive, please post full system specs AND PSU rails (look at my signature).
2) Tell us how do you have your drive setup (Master, Slave, in primary channel or secondary channel).
Edyros!
The recommended setup for ANY CD-R/W or DVD-R/W is to set them in the secondary channel as secondary master (assuming that your primary master is your HDD).
If you're using nero as your burning program, try downloading the latest ASPI drivers for windows XP.
Try flashing your drive's firmware to support more media and to fix minor bugs.
ALWAYS use an 80-conductor IDE cable for ANY drive.

Vista + iTunes (with Gear Drivers) = no CDRW Drive
