CD does not show on itunes

i apologize for the incomplete message, here it is:

Hi, I am unable to create a music CD since the icon of the CD does not show on itunes.

My preferences:
on itunes: when you insert a CD: show CD
on system preferences CD/DVD:
when you insert a blank CD: ask what to do (it does not let me choose open itunes
when you insert a music CD: open itunes

I am running itunes 9.0.2 for mac on an imacG5 (not intel duo core) and running 10.5.8

Thanks
