Wont let me burn cds

I have vista and everytime i open itunes i get an error:
"warning!
Itunes was not properly installed.If you wish to import or burn cds you need to reinstall itunes"
anyone else have the same problem?? i tried reinstalling it... and it was fine for a day but the error started coming back. i can import cds its just not letting me burn cds... its very frustrating... Someone help please

I have the same problem. At first, it just said that my computer's drive was not working correctly, which it wasnt. No program could burn anything. so I contacted Toshiba, the manufacturer of my computer, and they tel me to delete the upper and lower filters of my driver. I do so, and itunes still does not work. Therefore, I uninstall and reinstall itunes, as it says to do, and it says my problem is that there are no upper and lowerfilters on my drive, that itunes apparently installed, and somehow needed these deleted registery files from my driver to burn. Now, this wouldn't be a problem, except the other programs i can use to burn a cd are not recognising some of the files from the itunes store that I am trying to put onto this CD.

  • Hi. i have a 1hr wedding video in imovie but it wont let me burn to disc - what are my options please?

    Hi. i have a 1hr wedding video in imovie but it wont let me burn to disc - what are my options please?

    Hi
    Or if in Panic - There are free (but very vey simple) options
    No iDVD
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • Burn -  Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    • Free DVD Creator.app - free from Apple Store - Looks really OK !
    Pay program's:
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

  • V. 11.0 wont let me burn songs already bought. Why?

    v. 11.0 wont let me burn songs already bought. Why?

    That's the same thing! When you click on the song to play it--you'll get a box asking you to authorize your computer. You'll have to use YOUR SISTER'S ITUNES ACCOUNT INFORMATION TO AUTHORIZE this song to play under your library.
    I'm pretty sure your sister will have to do the reverse to get your songs to play in her library.

  • ITunes 10.6 won't let me burn CDs

    I get a message saying "Registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
    I reinstalled but still get the same message. My older version of iTunes worked fine, but I tried going back to a restore point and also tried downloading version 8.2 and that didn't help either.
    Windows Vista with plenty of hard drive space and memory.

    "Registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
    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.)

  • Macbook rejects some new cds and wont let me burn them

    Failing to burn about five out of ten new cds - the macbook simply chews them over for a while (with itunes open or not) and then simply spits them back out again as if there is an error with them. offers no explanation or indication as to why this is happening. any ideas?

    If you have CDs that the computer won't read, the first thing to do is inspect it for dirt and scratches then check to see that the CD works in either devices. Also, if you are doing a music CD you can try turning on the error correction. Assuming none of this works you might try a CD drive lens cleaner but probably you'll be better off skipping that step and contacting Apple.

  • Itunes 7.6 won't let me burn CDs

    I just updated iTunes to version 7.6 yesterday. Immediately following this, i tried to burn a CD. It won't recognize any CD as being blank. It says "checking media" at the top of the iTunes window and then it spits the CD back out telling me to insert a blank disk. I have never had a problem with a previous version of iTunes doing this. Has anyone else had this problem?
    I also decided to try downloading iTunes 7.5 to go back to a version that worked, but Apple built into the software some stupid thing that won't let me install an older version. The point of me buying a Mac was to avoid stuff like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    OK -- I've put at least 2 hours into fixing this on my machine, and hopefully I can save you the trouble with my story. And if you don't even want to hear the story, skip down to where I've typed "BOTTOM LINE" in all caps. Go ahead, I won't be hurting deep down inside (o.k. maybe a little).
    (As a side note, Apple's tech support is 1-800-APL-CARE... and the front line of defense for them is designed to deal with people who need explanation of what's an mp3 [sarcasm mine], so you might want to get passed up the ladder right away. The next line of experts is actually, well, expert.)
    I had the exact same issue -- same discs that worked prior to upgrading, now don't. I'm trying to burn a playlist of ONLY iTunes purchased music. I click "Burn Disc", it ejects my blank disc, and tells me to insert a blank disc.
    So I think, great, just great (CRAP!) maybe I can turn back the clock - I go to Windows's "System Restore" feature. The idea is to revert everything back to what it was before I upgraded the iTunes software. (on my machine, it's START-MENU > ALL PROGRAMS > SYSTEM TOOLS > System Restore)
    I do - and go to launch the old iTunes - the old version before I upgraded the software. It won't launch, because iTunes_Library.itl was created using a later version. Basically, Apple in its imperial wisdom has burned my bridges for me!
    This step may be inconsequential, but I'll include it anyway: thinking if I removed the file from the iTunes folder the older iTunes could launch, I do so. I copy "iTunes Library" and "iTunes Music Library" to a different drive, then delete them. And then, but I get the same can't-launch-because-of-library error, I copy them right back. (who knows, maybe that was important)
    Eh. At this point is when I start calling tech support, getting put on hold, having to repeat that the problem is not the blank discs, is not the playlist, etc.
    But in the meantime I decide that this old version of iTunes is worthless to me now, so I might as well run the iTunesSetup file again (the one I "saved to disk" when upgrading). I do run it, it runs, and by now I'm back on the phone with one of the actual experts.
    I walk him through my problem - but now it isn't a problem. I get a new and different error message: I'm not authorized to burn these songs. Which means I just need to authorize the computer, which iTunes prompts me to do, which then lets me play, burn, basically if you can get to see that, you're home free.
    BOTTOM LINE
    If you're having this exact problem, and running XP, you might have success IF:
    (1) Run System Restore, to restore to before the iTunes upgrade
    ((1.5) POSSIBLY move "iTunes Library" and "iTunes Music Library" out of that folder, then back in. I did, but it seems irrelevant.)
    (2) Run the iTunesSetup application again.
    And at that point, if you were me, you would be back on track.
    If this helps, donations in lieu of flowers to Smile Train dot org. I mean, come on, to be born funny-looking, it's just not fair.
    And as long as I'm typing why not pass judgment on the individual Apple employees I spoke with...
    JASON and JOANNE - are awesome people, and if I had a party they'd totally be invited. Nerdy-cool. You guys both rock.
    ERIC was a schmuck who seemed incapable of understanding my problem, making me repeat myself slow and loud, because maybe he's hard of hearing. Schmuck for putting me on hold for a half-hour then dumping the call (intentional?) and killing off my willingness to give Apple thousands of dollars over the course of my life.
    CHRIS seemed like a good guy, not hugely helpful to tell me I'm 440 days out of warranty when my problem has already been accepted, but was able to pull through and put me to the second cool person I spoke with.
    DONNA is just too nice to be condemned to deal with people's phone-in frustrated problems. Great for that reason, so nice, may she not go crazy on account of work.
    That's it, good luck.

  • HT203242 it still wont let me burn music onto a cd

    everytime i try to burn music onto a cd it says software not found. i tryed almost everything can you help me.

    You can only drag and drop if you have iTunes configured to manually manage music. With the iPod connected to the compute go to the Summary pane for the iPod and check the box under Options that says sync only checked songs and videos.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    It sounds like you don't have enough free space on your hard drive. How much free space do you have on you internal hard drive? You need to have at least something like 15 GB - do you?
    I just looked at your screen shot 'up close'. It appears you have about 36 minutes of content in your menus!!!
    Rather than dropping an entire movie file in a menu button drop zone, edit the clip to about 30 seconds in iMovie and use the short clip!

    I had a similar issue with an error 4000 and ended up
    deinstalling my burning software (Sonic). Was then
    able to burn from iTunes. Have not installed any
    burning software yet to see if the problem with still
    exsists with iTunes.
    I was having a problem burning--kept getting error messages halfway through the burn--different messages--sometimes 4000 and sometimes 4261. The last time I tried to burn a CD I noticed that I had some unchecked songs in my burn playlist. I also figured out that the error would occur shortly after it encountered the first unchecked song. I again tried to burn the playlist removing the unchecked songs and it burned with no errors.

  • My mac refuses to burn cds...

    Everytime I try to burn a cd my Mac wont let me.. i don't think there's anything wrong with my mac because I tried it on another and it still wont let me. But the cd is brand new so I don't think it's that either?!

    My White MacBook has a similar issue but with DVDs - the ONLY make that seems to work is Sony - all others work occasionally but generally eject with errors at some point in hte burning and verification process.
    CDs on the other hand are generally OK.

    After installing updates from Windows Update, you may get into a Reboot loop where you machines gets to “configuring updates 3 of 3. x% complete” then freezes or reboots.
    Solution: 
    1a. Boot from the Windows System Repair Disc and choose the repair option in the lower left hand corner, choose System Restore, and select a Restore Point predating the attempted installation of the updates.
    1b. If you don't have the DVD and the Vista/W7 came preinstalled on the machine, boot to the Recovery Environment using F8 at the HP logo during boot, choose "repair your computer" from the list, let RE load and do a system restore from there.
    If restore fails, load the recovery environment command prompt and enter:
    Del C:\Windows\winsxs\pending.xml
    exit recovery environment and restart the pc, you may get 3 of 3 again but be patient, the desktop should load. Create a manual restore point and Turn off Windows  Automatic updates until you can figure out which update caused the loop.
    If you get it booting again:
    You may be infected
    Follow the order given below to disinfect your PC
    1.) On a PC that is Not infected, Make a boot AV disc then boot from the disc on the Infected PC and scan the hard drive, remove any infections it finds, I prefer the Kaspersky disc myself. The New 2010 Kaspersky disc can update the AV dat files if you are connected to the internet at the time of scan and is suggested to update before the scan.
    http://www.techmixer.com/free-bootable-antivirus-rescue-cds-download-list/
    2.) Then boot into Windows:
    Install free MBAM, run the program and go to the Update tab and update it, then go to the Scanner Tab and do a quick scan, select and remove anything it finds.
    http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html
    3.) When MBAM is done install SAS free version, run a quick scan, remove what it automatically selects.
    http://www.superantispyware.com/download.html
    These last 2 are not AV softwares like regular Anti Virus Software, they are on demand scanners that only scan for nasties when you run the program and will not interfere with your installed AV, these can be run once a day or week to ensure you are not infected. Be sure you update them before each daily-weekly scan.
