What is needed to restore functionality to my CD drives--they do not work with iTunes version 10

I am running Windows 7 on an older computer.  Previously, I experienced no difficulty playing iTunes or burning iTunes music to CD.  At some point, after downloading newer version of iTunes I lost functionality in both of my disc drives (1 = Liteon DVDRW and 1 = Matshita DVDRW).
Recently I attempted to install latest version of iTunes, thinking perhaps the new version might address some of my disc drive issues--the problem:  Part way through installation the message, "Windows Installer unable to find necessary file," and alas, install fails.
Short of buying a new computer, what can be done to solve my disc drive issues?

  • IPad 4 switches off when i am using it, even when battery is fully charged.  Restore function (holding down both buttons) often does not work.  Cannot power up iPad.  I have updated software, restarted computer, but no success.  Please help

    IPad 4 switches off when i am using it, even when battery is fully charged.  Restore function (holding down both buttons) often does not work.  Cannot power up iPad.  I have updated software, restarted computer, but no success.  I did restore the iPad about 8 times during the past 2 weeks.  Just completed another restore.  iTunes says the the iPad has been restored and will restart automatically and appear in iTunes when it is ready.  That was 30 minutes ago.  iPad still won't start.  I am looking down the barrel of yet another fruitless restore.  What a crap product.

    Try a reset:
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo.

    I did a search on my system and found the Photoshop has a fastcore plug-in.  Creative Cloud includes a subscription version of CS6 version 13.1.2.   I do not know if you installed that or not.  The cc un-install may have done something.  You may need to use Adobe Cleaner then Install The Perpetual CS6 version of Photoshop  CS6 version 13.0.6 Mac or Photoshop  CS6 version 13.0.1.3 PC and not the subscription CS6 extended version 13.1.2.  Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6   If you need to download the CS6 installer Download CS6 products.
    You may also be able to recover your cs6 using an old system backup

  • What's With Volume Logic Plug-In Not Working With iTunes V7. and Up

    Hello Folks. I recently updated to iTunes ve 7.0.2 and now my great Volume Logic Plug-in won't work. I downloaded the latest update and then read info on the Plantronics site about the problems with the plug-in with new itunes updates.
    Is anyone here figured out what's going on or a workaround. That plug-in makes such a positive difference in music sound quality, the tunes almost feel "naked" without it
    Steve

    Prior to the 1.3.2 released (beta or the now-available final), Volume Logic did not work at all with iTunes 7. According to Plantronics, Volume Logic does not work with Airtunes and the AIrport Express (it's stated right in their FAQ).

  • "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" option not working with all documents

    Said option (found under Edit/Preferences, category Documents), which works like an automatic bookmark in that it takes you back to the same place you were at when you last closed a document, is very useful, but apparently doesn't work with *all* documents.
    - Does anyone know what determines whether a given document works with this option or not?
    - Is this by design or a bug? A matter of PDF format version?
    - Is there a way to work around the problem?
    I've compared two documents, only one of which works with the option, to determine what the relevant difference may be, and found two suspects (under File/Properties): the PDF version (1.5 in the document that works, 1.4 in the one that doesn't), and 'Fast Web View' ('yes' in the document that works, 'no' in the one that doesn't).
    Thanks,
    Michael

    This seems to be a problem with some PDF files.
    Suggested workaround: If the PDF you have allows "Save As", then try save-as to a new file. The "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" option should then work as expected (in the new file).

  • IPhone 3G with iOS 4.2 will  not work with iTunes 10.2 What can I do?

    I updated iTunes from 9 to 10 without issue got as far as 10.1 all worked fine. Notified of update for iPhone (3G) 4.2 so, I went for it and all still worked well. I then upgraded iTunes to 10.2 and disaster struck! iTunes takes very long time to start will freeze when device connected then fails to see the iPhone. It now appears I may have updated myself into extinction. The latest from iTunes 10.2.2 is not working. I removed AMDS and reverted back to 10.0.1 and it worked for that day I thought I was good all I needed to do worked smoothly. A few days later I am back where I was a month ago with iTunes slow and failing to see device. I know the phone works as it just did a few days ago. I tried to revert to 10.1 and that failed now the AMDS from 10.0 failed to stay working. I can  lose the library and movies either on iPhone or in iTunes but, I need the other data notes,calendar, etc. Any ideas? Note: see Discussions on Apple Mobile Device Suppport (AMDS) for additional information or anyone having same problems with 10.2. Anyone think Apple may fix this in the future?

    iTunes is not seeing device when connected. It simply freezes (Not Responding) for minutes then fails to see device.
    I have previously uninstalled and re-installed latest from Apple 10.2.2. The only way I got that to work was uninstall AMDS and install version 10.0.1 this worked beautifully for ONE Night only. I am now with 10.2.2 that takes 2-4 minutes to start (non responding half of that time the first half just not shown by task manager) and cannot see device. I tried starting iTunes with devices plugged in and same issues. Windows (Vista 32) does see iPhone.

  • Any apps restored to new iPod due to service will not sync with iTunes.

    I had to have a retail location replace my iPod and they restored my music and apps from the old one to the new one. Since then, when I plug my device into my computer the 'Apps' tab in iTunes will not allow me to manipulate the screens of my iPod. The image remains dim and I cannot switch to different screens or touch the apps. Any apps purchased since the restore are syncing with iTunes without a problem. There is the option to sync iTunes to my iPod but that will cause me to lose the apps not synced into iTunes. I hope this is specific enough! I don't want to lose my apps, please help!

    Never mind, turns out that by uninstalling the programs "Megakey" and "Megaupload" it had resolved this issue.

  • Why is my ipod touch 5 not working with itunes? It says it needs to update to itunes 10.7 or later.

    My new ipod touch 5 is working perfectly, almost. When I plugged it in to my laptop for Itunes, the laptop said the ipod needs to update to itunes 10.7 or later. The problem is it won't let me update it. Can somebody help me?

    You need to be running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer to sync it. If you're using Mac OS X 10.6 through 10.6.7, run Software Update twice. If you're running Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier and have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.
    If you're using Windows, what happens when you try to update it?

  • I need help getting LG portable super multi drive GP 10 to work with imac

    I have just purchased the LG GP10 dvd writer. How does one install the software? The software disc it comes with is for a pc. I am using Lion 10.7 on an imac desktop.
    Where does one download software to make it mac compatable. The box the device comes in says it is Mac compatable, but the device only reads discs for playback. I want to burn files onto dvd rom.

    I don't have an LG, but have had an external LaCie burner for years. First, there shouldn't be any need for software unless you want to add some burn software (such as Roxio Toast); I use either iDVD (for movies), iTunes (for music), or Toast (for either). You can also use iPhoto (I don't use it so I don't know all its capabilities).
    In any case, my burner does not show up on the desktop. However, once I insert a DVD, that icon will show up - that means your Mac knows the burner is available. You have to set the CD & DVD preference pane (System Preferences) to show them on the desktop.
    So what kinds of files do you want to burn? If it's just data, follow den.thed's advice - if your DVD is showing on the desktop and it's just files/folders, you should be able to drag those onto the icon as well (or use the burn folder) and burn using Finder and/or Disk Utility. Movies, slideshows - videos of any kind - need encoding/burn software (such as iDVD, iTunes, Toast).

  • Updated to iso7 and now credit card will not work with itunes account. What is going on?

    When I updated to iso7 my credit card information for my iTunes account is no longer valid. Tried to update my credit card information and it will not allow my current and valid credit card to be used and will not accept any of my other valid credit cards to be used.
    What is going on? Am I missing something or is apple hijacking my paid for accounts again?

  • Just downloaded FF4.0 for Mac and it will not open. Says it will not work with this version. what's wrong?

    Used FF 3.1.6 for years just fine. Downloaded FF4 and when I went to pull it from my applications folder there was no icon, just a square saying FF4. Pulled it to the bar and got a message saying "you cannot use the appliction "firefox" with this version of Mac OS X"

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5. You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • Schwab brokerage website not working with any version beyond 3.6. Continully get kicked out of the site and have to log back in. 3.6 version works fine. None of the other version will work with Schwab Client Website. What is the problem?

    As I select tabs on the Schwab Client Web Site I am kicked out with a message that says I've timed out and must log back in. All version beyond 3.6 have this same problem.

    Going all the way back to Firefox 3.0.5 is shear foolishness, it is 14 security versions behind the last 3.0.19 release. And that version is missing at least a dozen security updates that were applied to the 3.5 and 3.6 versions after support for 3.0.x ended.
    If you are not happy with Firefox 4, you should have installed Firefox 3.6.17. That is very similar to the 3.0 and has all the security fixes that have been released since support for Firefox 3.0.x ended last year.
