I need to uninstall iTunes and re install on a drive other than c:

Current install is on an older pc with a 30gb c: drive.  itunes is sucking the life out of that drive by filling it with not just music, but ipad backups as well.  Is there any way to delete and reinstall itunes so that not only is the media library stored on e:, but also all of the USER\APPLICATION DATA folder stuff that normally goes on c:, no matter what?  I've tried looking at the itunes options and stuff, and I've already moved my personal musuc library to e:, but every download and app update still goes to c:, as well as those pesky ipad backup files.

Both applications do not support a custom installation location.  You will need to have sufficient disk space on your primary drive to install the applications.

  • Need to delete Itunes and re install it. Will i loose all my music library?

    I accidentally deleted Quick time. It is needed to run itunes. A message tells me to uninstall Itunes and re install it again. My concern is : will i loose all my music library in process? Here's some additional info :
    WinXP
    Ipod Classic (5th gen)
    Any help is appreciated. Please email me [email protected] Thanks a bunch

    Hey there,
    No, because your music is stored elsewhere on your computer (most likely under My Music from within My Documents). I have had to follow this procedure a few times and have never lost a song. So go ahead and re-install.

  • Need to uninstall iTunes and reinstall, but wont allow because ituneshelper.resources is an invalid short file name and I have already unchecked it in msconfig what do I do next?

    I had iTunes installed onto my external hard drive and was having problems with diff things so decided to uninstall itunes and then install it onto my main hard drive. When I attempted this it told me that iTuneshelper.resources was not a valid short file name. After researching it I manually deleted all files that I could find relating to iTunes, Quicktime, iPod etc... at that time it will would not allow me to uninstall or reinstall. I furthered researched and found the file to be located in the startup in msconfig and unchecked it hoping that it would then allow me to uninstall or at least reinstall the program, but again failed. What else can I do? When it makes it to the install portion it says what drive it will be downloaded to and it says (I:) so I attempted to change it, but it has an error and wont allow me to change it to C: so does anyone know what I have to do to fix this thank you

    When I attempted this it told me that iTuneshelper.resources was not a valid short file name.
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • I keep getting the error message "apple application support is required to run itunes. Please uninstall itunes and then install it again." I've done this twice and still keep getting the same message...I'm at wits end Please HELP!!!

    I keep getting the error message "apple application support is required to run itunes. Please uninstall itunes and then install it again." I've done this twice and still keep getting the same message...I'm at wits end Please HELP!!!

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • My new iPad will not sync with itunes. itunes is updated to lastest version. Do I need to uninstall itunes and reinstall?

    My new iPad will not sync with itunes. itunes is updated to latest version. Do I need to uninstall itunes and reinstall?

    That could be a solution. Are you getting any error messages or error codes? Is the iPad recognized in iTunes? Does anything happen at all when you try to Sync? Can you provide more details?
    You can try a very simple first step, quit iTunes, reboot your PC and restart the iPad.

  • Do I need to delete Itunes and re-install

    I receieved a new Ipod under warantee today. Do I need to start from square one again? That is, should I delete Itunes and re-install so that I start with a clean slate?

    Uninstalling iTunes does not remove the music from your computer.
    Try going through the steps in this article...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
    Specifically, follow the steps for removing the Quicktime files from the System32 folder in Windows, and also check the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility for Quicktime stuff.

  • Uninstalling ITUNES and re-installing on another PC

    if I unstall my Itunes software from my laptop and reinstall it on my desktop, will I lose my library? including the songs I purchased from the Itunes store? any help would be appreciated

    You don't need to uninstall iTunes from one computer to transfer it to another, you can copy your existing iTunes folder. There are a few things you could do to achieve this, from networking the two computers, using an external hard drive or even using your iPod to make the move. Have a look at this User Tip: Migrating iTunes for Windows to a new PC
    If you can network the computers there is also this one: Copying songs over a network to use with iTunes for Windows
    When you have your purchased songs on the new PC authorise it to play them: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • How can I install to a drive other than C?

    I installed the CS6 Master Collection trial version. During the installation, I specified a destination folder on my D: drive (C: is a small SSD drive meant to hold only Windows).
    For the 32-bit versions of the programs, the shortcuts created in the Start Menu point to the D: location I specified during installation, but clicking on them gets me a "file not found" error, because the actual programs were placed on the C: drive. They work if I copy the installed Adobe folder and its full contents over to the appropriate D: location.
    The 64-bit versions are a different mess: Unlike with the 32-bit versions, the installer placed the 64-bit versions of the programs in the specified D: drive folder, but when I attempt to start the programs, I get the "Configuration Error: Please uninstall and reinstall the program; Error: 1" message. Presumably this is because some of the configuration files or settings the programs are looking for are actually pointing to locations on the C: drive, where the installer put them despite my directions. But I have no idea which files or settings they are, or how to find them.
    How can I fix these configuration errors and get the 64-bit versions working?
    If anyone from Adobe sees this, can you please fix the installer so that it installs the ENTIRE package where I specified, and that all the various pieces installed know where the rest of the pieces are in a non-C drive installation?
    My system:
    Windows 7 SP1
    Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM
    C drive: 60GB SSD (Windows system files)
    D drive: 1TB HDD (All other programs and files, including my Windows User folders)

    Yes, I have redirected my User folder to the D: drive.
    I know that some shared components must reside on the C: drive; that's fine. I just don't have room for the entire installation on there.
    The real issue here is that, when a drive other than C: is selected as the destination, the CS6 package installs into a broken state every time, out of the gate, on my system. Some components get installed to D: and some to C:, but the various components of the programs seem confused about what exists where, as shown below:
    I select a folder on D: as the destination folder for the install, and here is what I get:
    64-bit versions of the package -- Program files are installed to the D: drive as specified, but attempting to start them results in a configuration error message stating that the program must be uninstalled and reinstalled, and lists "Error code: 1".
    32-bit versions of the package -- Program files are installed to the C: drive against what I specified. The shortcuts installed in the Start menu for the 32-bit versions point to the locations where these program files SHOULD be, on the D: drive. If the Adobe folder containing the program files is copied over to the correct location on D:, these programs function normally with no errors.
    I have the 32-bit versions working by copying the program files from C: to D:. I just want to get the 64-bit versions working as well.
    Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated; I'm really looking forward to testing the CS6 suite on my system!

  • Install on a drive other than C, E or G.

    Install CS6 on a drive other than C.  Drive E or G.

    You can install Adobe apps on any drive you choose during install. Just be aware that no matter what some components will always be installed on the system root drive.

  • I too need to re install Bonjour, If I uninstall iTunes and re install i tunes, will I lose all my music?

    I accidently uninstalled Bonjour and need to re install it.
    If I do what is suggested and uninstall i tunes and reinstall it, will I lose all my songs etc that I already have on i tunes?

    No. They will be right where you left them after re-installing iTunes.
    Either way, you should be backing this content up anyways.
