Back out 9 and got my CD burner working ...

After going through all the threads and not seeming to get anywhere, I finally got things working again. I had installed 9 and, of course, as with many of you, the CD burning stopped. I tried deinstalling, reinstalling, updating GEAR, etc, etc but no luck.

Finally, I did this (all based on a lot of different recommendations)...

I located the 8.2 download of iTunes using a Google search. I downloaded the installation routine to my hard drive but did not install it yet.

I deinstalled iTunes 9.01 and rebooted.

I did the cleanup of GEAR using this as a guide... http://www.gearsoftware.com/wiki/index.php?title=DRIVERS:_Windows_-_Updating,_removing,_64_bit_versions,_etc#Manual_Removal_.E2.80.93_32-bit rebooting each time it said to.

I installed 8.2 and used a previous but very current .itf file to load my library (press the shift key when starting iTunes and hold it down until you get prompted to select or create a new library).

I did this and my first tests didn't burn anything. I realized I was reusing CD's that I have tried to burn to but that hadn't seemed to work. Evidently something was on them because when I used a fresh one today, it worked.

One thing... currently I have 8x selected as the speed of burning based on an earlier recommendation. I don't know if I need to have that selected of the 'max speed'. I'll test that next time I need to burn a CD.

Good luck!
Dave
