When plugging in my iPhone to my PC, I get message "The registry settings used by Itunes drivers for importing and burning CD'd and DVD's are missing..." Can I uninstall and reinstall the iTunes app without losing all the tunes I've purchased/loaded?

many thanks.
I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

I want to search Time Machine for an appointment that has been deleted from my current view of iCal. Can I "restore" a previous version of iCal without losing all the entries I've made to the calendar since that prior date?

No. I tried it on my Time Machine (I had just made one change today, so I knew I would not be left in the lurch if I failed) and when I clicked on restore I got this message:
It seems you have several options. I chose 'Keep Both'. I suggest that you proceed with your search.
Ciao.

I got a new PC and put iTunes in and everything but when I try to put my iPod in it's telling me that I have to restart it!!! But I can't do that cause all the songs on it are from another computer!!! I went into a computer store and the man working there said there is someway of doing it but he can't rememder how he did it to his own one... He said you either press Yes or No.
Help!!! Anyone know???? I don't want to lose everything...
Its so stupit that Apple made them that way.

If you are using your iPod with a Windows system (particularly the former computer), you'll have more luck asking this question in the iTunes for Windows area or the Connecting iPod to Windows forum.
Meanwhile, perhaps this will help:

HT1296 How do you sync your iPod to another computer without deleting all the data?

I recently got a new MacBook Air and I found out that if I sync my iPod touch with my new computer instead of my old one all my data will be deleted.
How do I sync my iPod without deleting all my information?

You can't, so you'll need to get all your data, apps and content to the new computer before you allow the sync. See this support article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
You can also download most of your content (the notable exceptions being movies, some of which can be redownloaded if you're in the US, and audiobooks) again from the iTunes Store:

HT2731 my oldest daughter recently bought a new ipod touch and gave her old one to her brother. I need to know how to unlink the old ipod from her account without losing all the music and games on it. He would like to have his own account.

My oldest daughter recently bought a new ipod touch and gave her old one to her brother. How do I unlink his ipod from her account and set up his own without losing the music and apps already on it?

Connect it to his iTunes library and set it up as a new device. You should be prompted to Erase and Sync the iPod if his iTunes library is separate from hers.
Or head to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase all Content and Settings.

I cant update my iPod to iOS 5 without losing all the songs I've bought from the iPod, how do I update without losing them?

So, I've been trying to update my iPod to iOS 5 because every app I want is requires iOS 5. When I try and update it on the computer it wont let me, it will go for hours saying it's "backing up". I decided I'd try and just restart it, but when I click it, it says that if I continue iTunes will delete any songs that aren't on iTunes library, and the songs I bought from the iPod itself are not on the iPod yet. I don't know what to do. If I don't update the software I wont be able to update any apps, or get new ones, and if I to update I'll loose the songs I've bought. Please help.

- Try here:
iOS: Troubleshooting backup issues in iTunes
- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not onclude synced media like apps and music. See:
iTunes: About iOS backups
You can also redownoad iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How can I use iTunes on my new computer, without lossing all my music?

How can I use iTunes on my new computer, without losing all my music?
I don't want to rebuy everything I have purchased over the years.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

They should be in your itunes media folder. Use an external hard drive and just copy that to your new computer. I'm sure there's an easier way like this one (iTunes>File>Library>Export Library>External Hard Drive) but I never tried it before. Anyways, once that's done, just simply authorize your itunes account to play music you bought on to the new computer.

Thanks, After changing my settings in face time per your suggestion, (it needed to be done), I turned off cellular data and data roaming and made a call using face time. It worked! Great way to stay in touch while overseas without the need for those egregious phone data plans.

HT1420 I just bought my cousin's ipod, and I want to update it on my computer. However, it needs authorization from his account to keep all the apps, and he's already authorized it on 5 computers. How can I update this ipod without losing all the apps?

You cannot use someone else's apps without violating the license agreement. The apps are tied to the owner (via Apple ID). The right thing to do would be to update and start fresh.

Unfortunately I have deleted my entire itunes library and back up from my computer, is there any way I can copy my ipod nano back onto my computer into the itunes library? and re-download all the tunes I have purchased from I tunes.

Hello bigali,
Your options are kinda limited. I would use this first:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and ...
Then check here for the non-purchased items:

You want to rebuild the library first, then sync the ipod.
Here is a good idea for when your done:
