Galen,
Would you believe I still have this problem. Every time I try to burn
a CD from ITunes I get "CD burner or software not found". I see that
there are many people - both MAC and PC users - who are having this
problem. I have posted to the Appple technical support web site many
times only to learn that Apple does not monitor these posts (I've even
gone so far as to recommend that people buy Zunes in my posts). Apple
seems to think they can save money by having users staff their on-line
technical support. I don't think it works. I haven't gotten a single
useful response to any of my posts. So here I sit, still unable to
burn CDs from ITunes (whether the music was purchased thru ITunes or
not). I read recently that music purchases thru ITunes have been
decreasing. Duhh!!! Is anyone surprised. I will certainly not buy
music thru ITunes.
