Delete and reinstall itunes?
I have spent 4 x 12 hour days trying to get iTunes 11.1 to sync properly from my macbook pro to my iPhone. It just keeps generating duplicate files all over the place every time I sync.
I have multiple .itl files, multiple .xml files. iTunes is a complete mess
What is the best thing to do? Delete iTunes and reinstall? What do I need to keep? What should I delete?
I won't be using iTunes to buy anything any more - it's a complete nightmare, but I don't want to lose what I already have bought,
MacBook Pro - latest OS X. iPhone 4s - latest iOS, iTunes 11.1
At the end of the line really, ready to give up - Any help would be greatly appreciated - even if it's a way of working without iTunes.
David, relax... if you can be patient, I would ask for turingtest2 or Chris CA within your initial question. IMHO, they are your best bet. They are two of the best but they are often busy helping others.
So why not give it a go?
Best Regards,
mm~

I bought a new Ipod (5th generation). I am trying to sync it to my itunes. I tunes does not recognize my new ipod. It is registered. I was only able to download purchases I made from my old ipod. I cannot download my itunes library or any of the games I have purchased. I tried using the troubleshooting guide to no avail. The only thing I did not do was to uninstall and reinstall itunes. I did update it to the latest version. How can I get itunes to recognize my new ipod?
- You do have iTunes version 11 on the computer, right. Saying the latest is not sufficient.
- Have you tried everthing here:

My huband is going to be so ****** if I have to uninstall and reinstall itunes. PLEASE HELP ME! If he loses his playlists or any other information it will be devastating... he has a radio show!
When I try to open itunes it says that it won't open woithout Apple Application Support and says I need to uninstall and reinstall itunes. 2 things I'm afraid will happen.
1. He doesn't want to update to the latest itunes because all his friends told him not to because the newest version *****.
2. He might lose all his playlists and also even if he doesn't los his itunes library he might lose data and information about all the songs.
I just really need to open itunes WITHOUT uninstallign and reinstalling it. Is there ANY way I can do that?I also googled this question. Someone said if I download quicktime it comes with apple application support. Does that solve my problem?

I recently attempted to " update " iTunes and received the missing .dll and Windows error message it seems everyone is posting. I had to delete not only Itunes, but the Apple update and other associated file in order to get my Pioneer DVD DVR 218-L to work. The driver would not work and Microsoft had no fix for this. It told my registry was corrupt. Apple should certainly fix this problem. Now I cannot run iTunes at all unless I do not want a functioning DVD drive?
I am having the same issue with Vista 64 bit: After many failed download attempts ("network error") the Progress Bar briefly appears and that's it.
Searched for solution that led me to running "Microsoft FixIt", deinstalling iTunes, Apple Software Update, Mobile Dev Support, Bonjour, and Application Support - even manually deleting common files that were left over (tough with Vista). No difference. FYI, I was able to get rid of the Apple folder in Program Files (x86)/Common File, but not in Program Files/Common Files ... but that shouldn't make a difference as I am installing iTunes64Setup.exe, right?
I even tried iTunes 10.7 and 10.6.3 from Apple's support page ... same differnce.
Had a lot of security updates on 1/22/14 (all related to Office 2007 (including SP3), though). So I tried to restore past this point, but an "unknown error" occurred and I am stuck where I am ... lovely.
So now my system is chopped and I seem to not be able to get iTunes even close to my computer ... :-(

Delete and reinstall itunes does not work?
I have tried to delete and install a newer version of Itunes on my Windows XP computer. First of all I cannot delete Bonjour nor Itunes set up and I cannot install a newer version, which I have downloaded. Please help.
Many thanks. That's perfect.
When I try to remove Bonjour the following message comes up: The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
Then the following: The installation resource for this product is not available.
When I try to remove ITunes I get the same first message as for Bonjour and then the following: The path 'C:\Documents and Settings\Marianne Swan\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple\Apple Software Update\iTunes.msi' cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes.
Another message I get is: an older version of Bonjour cannot be removed, get in touch with your technical person.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Next, in the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(6) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
I backed up my phone to the computer before downloading IOS 7 and then it shut off and went into recover mode saying I had to restore my iphone to fix it. When I downloaded the new itunes it won't connect with my phone, if I delete itunes then reinstall it will all my stuff I backed up to the computer still be there
What has been attempted so far to rectify the problem?

Suddenly, as of two weeks ago, iTunes will no longer play any music. I tried reinstalling but this did not work either. I have a PC with Windows Vista. Has anyone else experienced this problem and fixed it?
Yes, I just tried playing a 10-second mp3 file I acquired from The Oatmeal and didn't once pass my external hard disk. It's a simple, monotone, high-frequency sound, but I get the same results: VLC's UI is still responsive, but its functionality freezes up, i.e. the buttons are still animated, and the menu still works, but there's no sound, the progress bar doesn't move, and the file doesn't play.

My laptop is Windows Vista.
Having the same problem - am running Win 7 Pro 32 bit. Discovered that when you close iTunes task manager shows that iTunes.exe is still running and will not close unless you reboot. I have also found that after starting Win 7 that if I launch iTunes by inserting a CD, the CD plays and displays all tracks correctly. However, if I eject the CD and insert a different one neither Win 7 or iTunes recognises the CD. These problems seem to have started with the release of 10.5.2 - prior to that no problems at all. Have tried reinstalling and it does not make any difference.
