When I start iTunes I get this message: 'The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDl and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes.' It doesn't work.

I have tried reinstalling numerous times but I keep getting the same message and I cannot use the burning feature.  I have other burning software on my computer but it has always been there.  This problem just started recently.  Please help!

This same thing happened to me about two months. ago. I bought a new harddrive for my previously-fried netbook, and when I installed iTunes it gave me the missing registry business. So I came online and looked for solutions. This solution led to a different 'can't burn' error in iTunes, and I found a solution to that one, and it was like I was running in circles for a solid two weeks. Finally I managed to fix the problem, but after trying it hundreds of times I couldn't tell you which solution won out. Well, everything was fine and dandy, until I upgraded iTunes last night. Now its back to the same registry settings problem, and I want to maim something. Someone please help me ;___;

    I can get down as far as step 11 but it shows nothing about upper filters and when I type on "If the Upper Filters entry is missing follow these instructions" nothing happens
    Do you mean you can't see the instructions on what to do if there is no UpperFilters entry?
    If so, here's the relevant instructions for that step:
    On the right side of the Registry Editor window, right-click the UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.
    Right-click the empty white space within the right-hand portion of the Registry Editor window. From the shortcut menu, choose New > Multi-String Value.
    Name this new value "UpperFilters" (without the quotes). Then, right-click the newly created UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.

  • I received the following message when iTunes launches: "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CD's or DVD's are missing.  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning softwarre.  Please reinstall iTunes"

    Everytime I connect my iPod Touch (4th Gen) to my laptop, running Win 7 (64 bit) I get the message "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 have reinstalled iTunes several times and it has not fixed the issue.  I am running ver 10.2.2.12 of iTunes.  I HAVE NOT installed any other burning software to my laptop either.  I haven't tried uninstalling iTunes and then re-installing it yet.  Would that perhaps fix the problem?  I've read that many users have had issues with the new version of the software and I was wondering if that might be causing my issue.  I'd like to point out that iTunes seems to work after getting rid of the message, but I haven't tried to burn any CDs or put music from a CD to my laptop.  Any ideas on how to get rid of the annoying message?
    I also am having trouble hooking up with our other computers using  Homegroup.  I noticed quite a lot of people are having the same issue and hopefully they come up with a fix for that soon.
    Thanks in advance.

    If you're still getting the error message (especially when you plug in the Touch), I'd check for a device filter confusion on the PC. (They can affect the connection of USB devices to a PC, as well as burning and importing CDs.) For that one, see:

  • Error msg at launch says "Registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. ... Please reinstall iTunes."

    Each time I launch iTunes (latest version) on Windows 7 (w/ latest system updates) I receive the following error msg:
    "Warning! 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."
    When I click on "OK" iTunes completes the launch process and the application functions properly.  This error msg appears without fail every time I launch the app.
    I have reinstalled iTunes four times and continue to receive this message.  iTunes is set in the system Control Panel as the default program for all functions that iTunes uses.  I never burn CDs or DVDs and have never attempted to do so on this machine.  I have had iTunes on this computer since I bought it last November and never had a problem with it until 2 months ago when this message began popping up.  I did not notice any action I took that caused this, in terms of creating conflicts.
    I hope someone can assist me in finding a way to stop this annoying error!  Thanks!

    Hi for the message error "Warning! 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."
    Here are the resolutions I found and it fix the problem for me.
    Resolution
    iTunes installs a device filter which helps it work with your optical drive. If this device filter is missing, you will see the message mentioned above. To resolve this issue, reinstall iTunes to put the device filter back in place. To reinstall iTunes, follow the steps in the article below appropriate to your OS:
    HERE http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    If you still get the pop up error "Warning! 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."
    Do this

  • The drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDS are missing, it advised reinstalling but a reinstall does not fix

    When I open Itunesthis message appears
    "The regidtry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and bruning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes"
    I have tried reinstalling mulitple times and it has not helped. I am not aware that any other CD burning softawre being installed.
    Also, when I plug in my I-pod another message appears saying
    "This Ipod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes."
    The 64-bit version is already installed and again reinstalling hasn't helped.
    What is wrong? Can anyone help?

    I think you might have two different things going on at once here.
    Let's try fixing the following one first:
    "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and bruning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes"

  • Registry Settings for Itunes drivers for Importing and burning CDs and DVDs

    I have had this issue over and over again and re installed and uninstalled many times. Recently I upgraded to Windows 7 and for a very short time had no issues. I could burn CDS and back up and did not receive the error message on loading ITunes Setup Assistant "Warning The registry settings used by Itunes drivers for importing and burning cd's and dvd's are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other cd burning software. Pleae re install Itunes." Unfortunatley I then installed DVD Fab and this issued started again. I tried to restore my pc and uninstalled DVD fab and have no other burn software on my pc and still cant get working. I still get the same error when trying to burn a playlist "no disc recording found". Please advise what I need to do in lamen's terms. Much appreciated.

    have you followed instructions also on question number 11 and 12? because u told me that you have printed and i guess it only showed the words. ok. leave itunes installed and follow the >Registry instructions< also when you get to number 11 and 12 instructions, drop them down and follow them. and also follow the rest till it tells you to restart.

  • Registry settings used by iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs

    I'm using Windows 7, started getting this error message
    "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."
      So, I tried an iTunes repair. Still got the same message.  Then I uninstalled iTunes, still got the same message. Then I followed instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to completely remove all iTunes files and restart computer, then reinstall iTunes - that still hasn't worked.
