Because of warning I received for my iTunes (it would not start up) MSVCR80dill missing, if I remove the program and reinstall will I lose the music I already had and purchased?
I am somewhat computer illiterate but I have a question. I have had iTunes for several years and never had a problem. I occassionally get prompts to update and those only take about a minute and they're done. Last week, the download could not complete even after I had tried 2 or 3 times. I just let it go thinking I would try again when I had more time. Yesterday I tried to access iTunes on my Windows 7 and got a message, " could not start iTunes, MSVCR80 dill is missing. Please reload iTunes to fix the problem. I tried several times but I continue to get the same message without iTunes coming up. I talked to a computer geek today who told me I should go to my control panel and uninstall iTunes and reinstall it. My question. I have placed many albums of music and purchased many songs from the iTunes shop which I am concerned will go missing or deleted if I uninstall and reinstall. Will I lose my library if I do this? What precautions can I take to make sure everything comes back as it was?

I removed the whole suite. I tried last night to download the free trial
CS5, it took seven hour's and when the "do you accept the term's" popped up,
I clicked it and another page came up saying to close explorer and it was
not open (I kept clicking and it kept popping up I couldn't make it leave
that page so I canceled the whole thing) I will give the link that you sent
a try tomorrow and will let you know one way or the other. Thanks, it is
driving me insane ....M

If they are in the camera roll on the iPhone then deleting on the Mac will ahve no effect on them - if they are in your PhotoStream and you delete form PhotoStream on teh Mac they will be deleted from PS everywhere - if they are in an event on the Mac then deleting has not effect on yoru iphone

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?

Itunes reinstall - will i lose my music?
hi, i want to know if i reinstall Itunes if i will lose my music and playlists. Every time i start itunes a box pops up that says i should reinstall it, because it doesn't have the proper drivers to burn my cds. If i move my music out of itunes folder, will it still get deleted? THANKS!
No you won't lose your library, it's stored in a separate location from the program files.

Right now I'm staying connected but when I tried it at 2:00 Firefox would not stay connected. It would keep saying not responding. Also sometimes if I would go to fast it would just jam up. I could be connected and then go to my email and it would say lost connection. It just kept changing as though I was getting more that one connection. Hopefully you can help me.
Basically it means firefox didnt Shut down properly and if you close firefox and you try to open it again and you get the message firefox is already running then in windows right click on the taskbar and press on task manager and then once task manager is open press on processes and look for firefox.exe and then where it says End process click that and it will close firefox properly ok and then you can open firefox up again properly ok and for mac its a differnat way ok

Upgraded to 11.3.1 now can't open library. Won't read. I have an older iMac (2008). Message I get is: cannot be read because was created by newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?' ... so I do and it fixes nothing. Same message again. OS is 10.6.8.
Thanks again. The option thing got me further than I've gotten thus far but when I went to choose a library I got that same message.
I do have options. I have 2 iMacs. I can still access my music through 'sharing' and download it onto my newer iMac. Trouble is it doesn't have a CD port and I like to burn. From what I've read about their new Mac portable CD/DVD drive, it's shaky at best. Incidentally, do you know of any drives that work well with Macs and cost less than $89.00?
I've figured out I can download a previous library from my old Mac then upload it from the new one which should put me back in business, but what do I do with the corrupt one that's there now, just trash it? Also, when I do the option key my other choice is Create A New Library. Should I do that and put the good previous library into it?
Thanks a million, I really appreciate your time. I'm an old fogey and computers often mystify me, especially when they lock me out of things for no apparent reason. -
