Accidentally deleted iTunes - can't reinstall it!

I'm new to Macs, and I thought i was deleting an Alias, but I actually deleted iTunes. I tried downloading it from this Apple, and it won't let me reinstall. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.

Thank you, macmenno!
I did not uninstall iTunes, however I was installing AirPort Express. When I installed it, it removed my iTunes! I thought maybe I need to restart again. When I did, it still wasn't there! So I ran the installer again, and it installed iTunes... version 4! Figured, that is ok, now let's run the updater... no go. So I downloaded the latest version from the website... unable to install, it skips/disable the selection to install iTunes.
This procedure your mentioned worked like a charm and I am installing the latest version at the moment (6.0.4). But maybe you (or someone else who is reading this) knows why AirPort express uninstalled iTunes?
It is not a bigge, except I now maxed out on my limit of Authorized computers, since the other installation did not deauthorize. =/ Maybe I did something wrong during the installation?

  • Accidentally deleted iTunes, is there anyway I can download it again and have it just back up my iPod instead of clearing it of all data? All of iTunes files are still on my computer, but the actual program got deleted.

    I was trying to clear space on my C drive and decided to delete programs that I didn't use or that I didn't recognize. (Bad idea, I know that now.) Anyways, accidentally deleted a program that iTunes needed to run and the computer said it would undo the uninstall and restart to fix the problem but when it restarted iTunes was gone. So my question is, after I download iTunes again, is there a way I can just backup my iPod to it's last sync (which was coincidentally right before I accidentally deleted iTunes) instead it being cleared of all its data? All of iTunes' files are still on my computer except the actual program itself.

    Hi, InsaneCharlie. 
    Thanks for the question.  I see you have uninstalled iTunes and want this program back.  Start with completely uninstalling iTunes if present and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below.  Once this is done, download and install iTunes.  If none of your data was modified in the iTunes media folder, then your data should be present upon installation.

    you actually cant delete the iTunes apps from a device. Do a spotlight search on he iPod and it should show up. If not go to settings/general/reset/Reset Home Screen Layout and it should show back up

    jurisprudence410,
    if you’ve completely deleted everything on the internal disk, including your recovery partition, then you should be able to use OS X Internet Recovery to redownload your MacBook Pro’s original version of OS X from Apple’s servers. If you still have your recovery partition, then you can try holding down Option Command R while starting your MacBook Pro to have OS X Internet Recovery start.

  • Accidentally Deleted iTunes Widget

    I accidentally deleted it! Anyway to get it back? i tried reinstialling bundled software...no dice!

    There is no way to delete the itunes store from your ipod.
    You likely have either moved it to another home page (flick you finger across the screen to see the other home pages), or you have restrictions (in settings) set.
    You can find both of these things in the manual:

  • How do I delete iTunes 12 and reinstall 11? 12 installed itself and updated a Library.

    How do I delete iTunes 12?
    I want to use iTunes 11 to access an older Library on its own Hard Disk Drive.
    iTunes 12 installed itself, and the moment I opened it with one of my music Libraries, it updated the Library on that disks (and took forever—I have 27,000 tracks). (I thought I had automatic updates turned off. They are now! It has been listed at the App Store before this, but for some reason, this time it just installed at a Restart though I believe I never clicked on its Update button.)
    I tried deleting 12, but it complains it is part of Mac OS! (I didn't really know this.)
    I tried changing 12's permissions via Get Info, so I could Read & Write to the application. Nada. I also tried adding myself, and doing the same. Nothing.
    And I tried to install  iTunes 11.4 for OS X 10.6 after downloading it, but the install complained I had a newer version, and then quit.
    It seems I am stuck with iTunes 12, and have no other options.
    Sometimes Apple software *****. Whatever happened to Easy?
    Help!
    S.

    If you have a Time Machine backup or a clone from before the time you updated, you may be able to restore from there. The iTunes 11.4 download works only for Snow Leopard.
    ---| I want to use iTunes 11 to access an older Library on its own Hard Disk Drive.
    If that library is an .xml file you can move it to your desktop and in iTunes you can choose Import Playlist and select the Library.xml file. That will give you all the playlists on the old library.

  • [SOLVED] accidentally deleted curl, anyway to reinstall?

    I had some issues in curl and vmware player 5.0.1 in kernel 3.7.7-1, so I tried to remove curl (my bad, pacman -Rdd curl) and reinstall but reinstall fails
    pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    Appreciate any advice on how can I reinstall curl.

    are you pointing to any particular options in pacman.conf? pacman works on other packages (those non dependent on curl) when I put libcurl.so.4 from vmware directory to /usr/lib... but any curl dependent package upgrade fails with the following error
    pacman -S curl

  • Ipod touch 3rd gen game app accidentally deleted and can't recover game to status before deletion...Help!!!!

    I've got an ipod touch 3rd gen and accidentally deleted an app but now after resyncing it i've lost all the data and the app goes back to default. Is there a way to restore the app including all the previous data. I was at level 34 and now back to level 1

    Sadly it seems the settings to sync everytime i connect has overwritten the backup because I only just checked it not to sync automatically . I'm new to using apple as I'm a true and true windows geek and thought it should at least keep 3 sets of backups...boy am I wrong . That's months of work on a game app gone .

  • Long story short, OS got deleted and can't reinstall.

    Computer was running pretty slow for a while, last night I got the pinwheel of death for a solid ten minutes running only Chrome and Itunes. Got fed up and reinstalled mountain lion overnight, woke up to an error screen. Tried restarting, computer no longer has an OS, gets error whenever I try to reinstall Mountain Lion. I am absolutely BEGGING anyone for help.

    You do have a recent & usable backup of the system, don't you......
    Did the Mac come with Mountain Lion when new? If not, then you'll have to restore Lion, then upgrade back to ML.
    Will it boot in Recovery Mode and do the reinstall (plug to Internet, hold down Command-R prior to the startup chime, select reinstall, wait a LONG while for the 4+ GB installer to download) ?. If it came with Lion, you'll have to visit Recovery Mode's Disk Utility to ERASE the Macintosh HD volume first so the installer can downgrade the current ML installation.

  • Accidentally deleted itunes folder.

    in my zeal to create more space on my laptop i deleted my itunes folder thinking I had everything backed up. Then I remembered that 2 nights ago i bought 2 albums from itunes.
    does anyone know of a good recovery program that would help me get them back? I've tried Norton UnErase 8.0 but no luck. Are there any others out there?
    thanks in advance

    I know you can get your old puchased music back.At the top of the window you can click you can click store then check for purchases. If for some reason that doesn't work if you synced your iPod before you lost your music it you are ok. When you plug in your ipod it will say some purchased music is on your ipod but not on your computer and click tranfer. but all the other songs you will have to convert them back into your computer.When you get all your music back you probably need to back it up by clicking file back up to disc.
    Let me know if it works
