My i tunes is saying corrupt and to reinstall. How do i do this and will i loose all my music after a reinstall
my i tunes, all of the sudden is saying corrupt and to reinstall, how do i go about this, and will i loose all my music. Why did this happen? i am using a dell laptop.
By the way, this forum is for questions about Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Mac systems, and hence not the best place for your question. If you need further assistance, I'd suggest asking in the iTunes for Windows forum.
Regards.

While running an update in itunes (not installing), it stopped in the middle of the update and i receceived the following messages:
Application failed to start because AVFoundationCF.dll was not found. Reinstalling itunes may fix the problem. Then "itunes was installed incorrectly. Please reinstall itunes Error 7 (Windows error 126)". If i uninstall and reinstall itunes will I lose all of my music, etc.?Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Hello Footr,
The following article provides the answer to your question, as well as steps for completely removing iTunes and related components:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
Thanks,

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 bunchHey 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.

If I disinstall iTune and reinstall it will I loose all my music?
If I disinstall iTune and reinstall it will I loose all my music? I am constantly alerted that I must install an updated version but each time I try to do it it does not work. What should I do?
Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall doesn't touch your content. (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times in case of disasters of any sort.)

Will i loose all my music and pictures and apps if i use a different computer
will i loose all my music and pictures and apps if i use a different computer?
In order to use a different computer than what the device was originally synced with, you would need to use a 3rd party application to back the information up, prior to syncing with iTunes.
If you try to sync on a different computer than usual, you will get a message stating that it will wipe all data out and start from scratch... and it will erase everything. -
If i change my apple id will i loose all purchased music and videos
if I change my apple id will I loose all purchased music and videos?
Greetings elalewis,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you would like to change the email address that you use as your Apple ID, you can do so without losing purchased content. Note that email addresses ending with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com are already Apple IDs, and cannot be changed.
See this article for the complete steps to change the email address used as your Apple ID:

How do i delete my back up? I am trying to sync my ipod and it won't work. It says something about the back up being corrupt and that i must delete it and try again. If I do this will it delete my music on my computer/ipod?
Hello mig04,
While looking into the issue you are experiencing I came across some helpful information. In an article called iCloud: Troubleshooting creating backups found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3992 there are a number of steps to help get your issue resolved.
General troubleshooting
General information
iCloud Backup requires a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet.
Automatic backups occur when you've plugged in your iOS device, locked the screen, and have connected it to Wi-Fi.
You can manually start a backup by tapping Back Up Now in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup (requires a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet).
iCloud Backup will provide helpful information and status messages related to backups at the bottom ofSettings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
If automatic backups don't work as expected, test to see what happens when you start a manual backup by tapping Back Up Now at the bottom of the Storage & Backup screen.
Backups and restores both take time, especially if you have a lot of data or a slow connection. Depending on the size of your data and the speed of your network, you may need to give more time than you expected to a backup or restore.
Make sure you have at least 50 MB of free space available on your iOS device before you back up. If you have no space available on your device, iCloud Backup can fail in some cases. You can verify how much free space you have available on your iOS device in Settings > General > About.
Cheers,

I had to change my hard drive, now i'v tried to reinstall itunes it says i have to restore my iopd touch to factory settings and will loose my files. I have a few films on there and they show up on my purchases.If i restore, will i be able to get my films back ? as at the moment my ipod wont work now untill i restore anyway.
Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your device manually before syncing, you can restore from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Here's how to:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your ipod to your computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your device for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.

HT1918 If I delete my Itunes acct and reopen, will I loose all my music and apps?
No matter what I try, I cannot get my iphone itunes email to match what I have changed it to in itunes. I have spent all weekend trying all I read how to.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

PLEASE LET ME KNOW ..... I AM BEGININ TO THINK THIS IPOD VIDEO WAS NOT A GOOD I DEA I CANT HEAR MY MUSIC AT ALL CUASE IT DOES NOT PLAY JUST STAY IDDLE ON SONG THAT I PIC W/ ALBUM PIC AND SONG DESCRIPTON...... WHAT SHOULD I DO
Restting the iPod (Press and hold Select and Menu for ~10 seconds) will not erase anything ffrom the iPod.
Restoring will erase everything on theiPod.
But since you have everything in iTunes, you can reload it. -
