iTunes - Burning

Funny story:

I burn audio CDs with iTunes since I manage my iPod on it. Today, as I try to burn a playlist & I get that flashy message on top that says "Disc Burner or Software not found."

What a load of BS. :angry:

• I tried Google, feel free to double check.
• I tried a complete uninstall. RegCleaner, folder delete.
• Checked M$ Change Status for any wierd changes. Found I had Appoint2k installed...:dry: Dunno how the feck as its a desktop.
• Uninstalled CD/DVD Plextor 740A drive
• Disconnected external devices (Conflict?)

Here's what iTunes diagnostic says:

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.
Failed while scanning for CD / DVD drives, error 2510.
Virtual drives can sometimes interfere with reading and writing CDs in iTunes. If this is a virtual drive and you are having problems with other drives, try uninstalling the virtual CD application.
D: Unsupported CD or DVD drive.

:helpsmili

a similar thing happened to me when i frazzled my USB port.

try a different port?

No, its not a external drive. I found a firmware update for my drive, but still no help.

:mad: I've had nothing, but problems with iTunes, ffs.

I musta missed this on Google.

Anyways, thanks friend. I noticed in the Change Diagnostics Utility that DTools was updated to the new version, then a newer version recently released (4.09.1.1? something like that).

It occurred to me maybe it might be this app since iTunes mentions virtual drives.

I thought about uninstalling DTools, but decided against it. I'll try it for sure now since it worked for him. I'll probably revert back to the version I had before since it worked before.

No fix yet as I'm burning the CD with Nero...10 more minutes. I'll post back my results later (might not do it tonight I gotta drive to Tampa) :dabs:

Solution: Ok, I uninstalled Daemon's Tools along with SPTD driver thingy, all is well. Guess I'll just have to wait on some sort of compatibility fix.

Here's a thread 'bout it at DTool's forums: http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/dtoo...-1-t16689.html

You lot that use itunes must be a glutton for punishment. That is hands down the worst piece of software on the planet. It's the Anti-Christ, i tell you.

Nero StartSmart, FTW. :01:

Hmmm, yeah...

Nero is good, but its just the way my music library is organized is what makes it difficult when selecting songs.

So far I've encountered these issues with iTunes:
1.) Illegal *.dll relocated - FIXED
2.) Refuses to add some mp3's and mp4's - FIXED, somewhat.
3.) It won't save the FECKING album art the first time - FIXED, sorta. I just have to try it the second time.
4.) Refuses to eject iPod, "still in use" bs. :dry:
