I ran the diagnostics test and the program was unable to detect a prerecorded cd. This is a fairly new problem and I am not sure what to do.

Hello queenabs,


It sounds like you are trying to burn a playlist to a disc in iTunes, but you are getting the error, "disc burner or software not found." I found a couple of resources that I think might help with an error like this.


I recommend starting with the steps in this article:


iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install

If you are still having trouble with burning a disc after following the steps in that article, I recommend following the steps in this article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.


Best,
