If my itunes is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled, will I lose all my songs? What do I need to do to keep everything?
I cannot open itunes. When I click on it a message pops up saying that itunes is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled. If I reinstall it will I lose all my songs? I have over 2,000 songs that I cannot lose! What do I need to do to fix it and keep all my songs?
Aha, a somewhat different question. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

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.

I have iTunes installed on a laptop that I use for work, but it's owned by my employer. A new policy my have them deleting iTunes from the machine. If that happens, will I lose all my music? I am an iCloud user and pay for iTunes match.
If they just delete iTunes, the music files should still be there. I suggest making a backup of them though. Locate your iTunes folder (The one that contains your library file) and just copy the whole thing to your Documents folder or wherever you like (Just not in the same directory of the original folder otherwise the computer will get confused and could confuse your iTunes library). Then you will have a backup of all your music, plus if you purchased it from iTunes, you will still have it linked to your Apple ID so you can re-download them to any computer with iTunes on it when you feel like it.

I'm having problems with install version 11.1.4. If I uninstall and reinstall will I lose all my downloaded music?
Hi, so did I. It seems to be a huge problem with everyone. I opened a folder on desktop and called it target. I copied all my songs into that folder.
I uninstalled Itunes completely. Rebooted. Then I installed a fresh install.
I then dragged all the songs back to Itunes and it worked. I hope that helps.
I read an article the other day and apple is suppose to come out with some genius fix for this problem, it really seems to be global.
Good luck, -

You shouldn't... But Backup your iTunes Library before doing anything.

I am trying to open my iTunes and a pop up says it cant open because files are missing. it also says please reinstall itunes. What do i do? Will i lose all of my music?
Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
Restart the PC first.
If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
Can you launch your iTunes now? -
I upgraded my two Macbook Pro's yesterday to Mavericks, from OS X 10.6.4. I can't seem to open iPhoto on ONE of them. I believe it's the same on both computers, iPhoto '09. So I went in the App store and clicked upgrade my iPhoto. Now it says the library needs to be upgraded to work with this newer version of iPhoto. Help! Am I going to lose all my photos?
I believe it's the same on both computers, iPhoto '09.
Check the iPhoto versions. The version number should be shown below in the "General" section of the Info panel, when you select iPhoto in the Finder and use "File > Get Info". With Mavericks you should be using iPhoto 9.5.1. You can buy the upgrade from the App Store.
Will I lose all my photos if I do the upgrade?
No, but never do an upgrade without making a backup of your computer, just in case something is wrong.
Your photos are in your iPhoto library. After installing the upgraded version, the iPhoto Library will be upgraded to a new format, when you open it the first time in iPhoto.
If you want to use your iPhoto Library on both your computers, the iPhoto version should be the same. -

I need to uninstall/reinstall will I lose the songs I didn't purchase through ITunes?
For some reason I am getting a message to uninstall and reinstall ITunes. Not all the songs in my library were purchased at the ITunes store. Will I lose these songs during the uninstall/reinsall process?
no your music files arnt stored in itunes so uninstalling and reinstalling wont delete them.
If anything you might have to locate the files and reopen thim in itunes to put them back in your library. If thats the case...this should help you find your music files to put them back.
Where are my iTunes files located?

My old computer with itunes no longer works. If I hook my ipod to my new computer will I lose the songs that are on it now?
Yes, you will.
Do you have the songs still?
You could add them to your new library if you do. -
Help?
Restore your media and other important files from the backup of the old computer. iDevices are not backup devices.
If you failed to maintain a backup, you may be able to download past purchases from iTunes.
