    Original title: the registry settings used by the iTunes for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can occur as a result of installing other CD burning software. reinstall iTunes

    I've loaded and discharged Itunes 5 times and still get the same error message box. This error does exactly what he says, I can not burn anything in my itunes library. ITunes worked great in XP-3 no problems. It will not work on Windows 7-64.  I can download and play songs from any site, but can not burn anything.  And I don't have any other burning software on my CD PC

    Hello PohlCat,

    Given that you have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes without correcting the problem, it may be with a 3rd party product causes a problem.

    I would look at the post here to see if this solution can help you. It's from a 3rd third party site, you should use at your own risk, because it has not been tested, but seemed to help others with the same error that you are experiencing.

    Please reply back and let us know if this can help.

  • Windows media player cannot read CDs and DVDs

    MS supports says my Player DVD is dead and needs a new drive. So, I just install a new ROM DVD and still have the same problem - cannot read CDs and DVDs.

    When I play the CD, I always get the error meessage--(lecteur Windows media a rencontré une erreur lors de la lecture de lecteur de CD en mode numérique...). 'Digital' is selected under the tool-> properties-> device.

    When I play DVD, it is frozen my laptop or keep spinning and froze the Windows Explorer and the reader.

    I was able to read DVDs and CDs once after a few restart. During playback of CD the WMP abruptly stopped with error message and since that time cannot play CD DVD & more.

    So far, I did a few fixs that I found online and nothing wroks:

    * No upperfilter or UpperFilter registry

    * Uninstall and let the laptop automatically reinstall the driver

    * Ms. Fix it gives different results every time I run the fix-(1) detects no problem and therefore no patches have been applied (2) the main media in the CD drive is not readable (same CD has played correctly when using external USB DVD rom)

    Can someone help and let me know what that could be the problem and how to fix it! Thank you!

    Hi Amy,

    You can read the following article to clear the Windows Media Player database and check if it helps.

    You cannot view, add, or delete items in the library of Windows Media Player 11

    If you have any third-party media player installed on the system, then check if the DVD player works with it.

  • Satellite A60 no longer burn CDs and DVDs

    My A60 laptop no longer burned CDs and DVDs.
    There do not seem to read empty discs.
    Some regular she reads, but will not start and some, it will not
    not even start.

    Hello

    Sounds like a damaged disk device.
    Usual that these problems occur if the lens of the player is unable to calibrate correctly.
    In my opinion it has not much to do. I don't think that the replacement of the drive will solve such a problem.

  • Not able to play songs directly from the Windows Media Player library.

    Original title: Windows Media Player won't play songs unless I have...

    WMP plays the songs, unless I directly go where the file is located and open like that.  It works just fine. The problem is a lot of work. I play usually just in my library on shuffle. Many songs will not play this way, though, but like I said, they work fine when I open the file from its location. There is a blue circle with an exclamation in it that says "WMP can not locate this file. The file may have been deleted or moved, or the path may be incorrect. "I checked the location, and they are there. Help, please!

    Well, looks like your Explorer library WMP links are corrupt; You probably need to rebuild the library. Corruption occurs when files are moved or changed in the library of the Explorer... tasks of this nature must be always performed in the library WMP or the location of the file.

    In a first step, go to 'Tools' - 'Advanced' (if you do not see 'tools' of the bar menu isn't showing, then go to "Organize" - "Layout" and select "Show Menu bar")-then click on "restore Library. WMP will then rebuild the library.

    Let us know if it improves things... R >

    Hello

    Step 1: Please make all underneath the same if you've done it before as it's often the total of the process which
    solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  • Satellite L500 - CD/DVD player has stopped playing CDs and DVDs

    I was with Windows Media Player yesterday to copy music to my MP4 Player. It read 2 cd, but on the 3rd, it stopped working. I thought it was because it was a CD however, burned my CD store, I tried buying and everything and even DVD and it takes forever for the driver trying to read, and then in the my computer window, it pops up a message: "Please insert a disc into drive D" and ejects the CD or DVD.

    I checked the properties and it says that the device is functioning properly.

    I even ran the PC DIagnotistc tool on the D drive, but he jumps right over him.

    Any ideas? My phone is only a month or 2 old.

    Remove the optical drive from the list of Device Manager and restart your laptop.
    After reboot, the device must be installed again.
    Check the feature using different CD and DVD.

    What model of laptop do you have exactly?

    I have a problem with my DVD-ROM in my laptop. It only reads CD and DVD sporadically. But most of the time that I dwell in a DVD and it try the bed. But after a few seconds it stops and the DVD - ROM led lights constantly.

    My question is, can I get a new DVD-ROM? Or I have to send it back to Toshiba?

    Sorry, my English is not the best ;)

    Hello

    For me, this looks like a disk failure. After repeatedly the lens can not calibrate properly and so sometimes s not possible to read, burn with different media.
    You should know that internal portable players using different parameters like master/slave or c - salt. These parameters is not editable as on drives for desktop PC.
    Therefore, it is very important that you will use and bye a compatible.
