CD in itunes. My CD drive is not picking up anything. Was fine yesterday.

When I go to device manager it has an exclamation mark in the yellow triangle and I right click and it says this

Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)

So trying to burn audio CD on itunes, seems fairly simple

If you can't read the disc then it's the disc's program, if you can read the disc in other places like my computer or when you open it then it's itunes's problem. Try using windows media player to burn audio cds, works the same

EDIT: Okay so your CD drive is ****ed, try disabling the device then opening it, or restart and go to bios setup to see what's wrong

Drive is not picking up anything at all. IE can't even put in an audio CD for it to play.

 

[Cooldude]

Jump to bios setup and see if it's been deactivated. If it isn't then your drive's fried

 

[Cruyff14]

It's only 4 months old bro!

It was also working fine yesterday, when I burnt something

Maybe it's a drivers problem, probably is

 

[Cruyff14]

Said all drivers are update.

FOR **** SAKE.

 

[Cooldude]

Well there are 5 solutions in the link, if none of them work, then maybe a bit more research on the yellow ! thing, if nothing else works then the drive is probably fried or take it to a professional to have a look

 

[Cruyff14]

Your link helped. Thanks heaps dude. All this happened cos I uninstalled iTunes. What a ****ing joke.

 

[Cooldude]

So it works now? Good stuff

Itunes is a piece of shit program, most apple related stuff are pieces of shit, Apple is a piece of shit company

There, tirade over

 

[Cruyff14]

In that link you gave it said something about removing a program that can burn things can affect it or something. What a ****ing joke. Never had that problem before.

I hate anything Apple related.

iPhone, iPod & iPad user here.

Love them all.

iPod is about all I use, and love iTunes purely because of the play count feature. It's good enough for me.

Apple is shit. Had apple for years, switched to Samsung and would never go back. Just does a million more things than an iPhone.

 

[Cooldude]

Before Apple completely whitewashed the market 10 years ago, there were a lot of different brands with gadgets of a higher quality out there

Apple's still shit, just overrated pretty little rectangles

The Apple stores in Hong Kong are a little creepy.

In the Shopping centre near Hong kong CityUniversity people wait outside up to an hour before the store would open. Then all the staff would applaud them when they opened the doors.

Every. Single. Day.

I've never been to the Apple store here in Perth so I have no idea if its a common theme.

I don't like Samsung phones. Way too big unless you carry a handbag. And I don't.

Incorrect. I have a Note 2 (one of the bigger ones) and it fits into any pockets that I wear. What else you got?

 

[Cruyff14]

It would fit into pockets of my pants too, but I find it too big for a phone.

Or have normal sized pockets.

Love Galaxy S3, just needs better battery life and it'd be the perfect phone.

I just find the iPhone to be of perfect size.

That's the best thing about the Notes tbh. The battery life is sooooo much better than the galaxy's
