disc burner or software not found

I have not tried to burn a cd until recently and I just updated iTunes to 7.6.2. I also downloaded Golden Records Vinyl to CD Converter v. 1.22 off the Apple download site. I downloaded some personal stuff off a casette with Golden but couldn't burn it in Golden. The burn would always fail. I opened the Golden folder and all the saved songs were in iTunes format so I moved them to iTunes. I can listen to the files in Golden and in iTunes but when I try to burn a CD in iTunes I get the "disc burner or software not found" message.

Imac G3, Mac OS X (10.3.x), itunes 7.6.2

it looks like we have the same problem...

I have a Intel Mac running 10.5.4 (2x2.66GHz)
iTunes 7.6.2 (9)

I can burn CDs in Finder but when I try and burn CDs in iTunes I get the message:
"Disc burner or software not found..."

I went to Advanced Preferences and its says that: CD Burner: No Supported Disc Burners Found

i am having the same problem. i have a brand new iMac (about 2-3 months old) and this is the first time i've tried to burn a disc (kinda wierd..?) itunes says "disc burner or software not found" but i am able to burn through finder.

after everytime i attempt to burn through iTunes, it ejects the disc and will not keep a disc in it until i restart. brand new mac + not being able to burn cds through iTunes + not having a car to take my comp to the genius bar = i lose.
