Hate sound like an idiot but will downloading iTunes 7 erase....
I really hate to sound like an idiot but when I look at the update iTunes and it takes me to the page to download, if I do this, will it erase what I already have in my library. I just want to make sure as I have had hinkier things happen and I really don't want to lose all that I have amassed. Thanks again
If this is an iTunes question, as it seems to be, then you really should be looking and, if still needed, posting in one of the "iTunes for Windows" forums.
Speaking for the Mac OS though, no .... your iTunes Library just gets carried along and appears automatically in the new version of iTunes.

When trying to instal an itune update on my Pc i got an error message, should i download itunes again, and if i do so will it erase my current library?
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 move on to the next item)
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.

I'm going to sound like an idiot but...
I really need some help!! I'm about to pull out my hair. Okay, here it goes. I have Ntlworld for my internet provider, the told me I could also have a wireless connection. I asked the installer if all I needed was the airport station to go wireless... he said yes. Today I purchased the Airport Express and tried to get my wireless internet working (I have used it before) I even called NTL to ask them about the wireless info (of course they had no idea how to do it). After looking into it, apparently NTL offer wireless through Actiontec, but you've got to pay 100 GBP for it!!! is there anyway around this?? I've already have all of the products to run wireless..... do I actually have to pay them more just to make it work???
please help me (i'm so pathetic lol)I really need some help!! I'm about to pull out my

You should be able to connect your NTL cable modem to the ethernet port of the Airport Express.
Before you do this, unplug everything and wait at least 30 minutes, you may need to wait overnight before powering everything back up.

sureshHi Suresh,
Thank you for your reply.
Devices should appear in the top right of iTunes, as seen in this image:
From:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Connect a device
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12449
If you do not see your iOS device in this menu when you connect it to your computer, it may not be recognized by iTunes. In this case, I recommend the troubleshooting steps in this article:

my macbook pro won't stop making noise! It sounds like the fan but I'm not sure. Any ideas? It's really worrying me because I haven't had it for up tp 2months and last week everytime I switch it on it makes sooo much noise. And I treat like an egg so I don't understand whats going on.
Hey,
My friend had a very similar issue to yours. The issue came down to the pins of the MagSafe not meeting with the MacBook perfectly causing the lights and the transfer of power to be wacko. I'm not sure if this is issue that your experiencing, but its worth checking out the pins and the MagSafe area on your MacBook for debris.
Troubleshooting Magsafe power adapters with stuck pins
If that is all clear, then I would suggest you call AppleCare or take it in to an Apple Store to have it checked out.

Will downloading itunes to a new pc and syncing my phone cause me to lose data?
Will downloading itunes to a new pc and syncing my phone cause me to lose data?
Hey Davidl678,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are unable to download the purchases from your purchase history, because iTunes believes the songs to be in your library. It may be necessary to delete the items from your library, then re-download from your purchase history. Before doing so, you may want to take note of which song are available for re-download:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Delete songs, playlists, or other items
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12359
iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store

I had an HP laptop with Itunes on it and kept my library on an external hard drive. I had a 160gb classic Ipod.
My computer died and i am buying a new one (mac is out of budget)
When I get my new computer, obviously I will download Itunes. My Ipod still has all the music on it and the external hard drive is ok.
I don't want to "erase" or lose any information when I sync with a new itunes that is "empty"
What are the steps? After I download Itunes and set the folder location to my external harddrive what is next? Will Itunes recognize my IPOD? Will it load the music/list from my ipd or external into itunes?
Thanks in advanceThe following user tip is worth checking through:

Hi,
My iphoto program stopped downloading to the program, it will download to the computer though. I cannot edit the photos because they are not in the program. Can someone tell me what is wrong. Thanks!No - I have no idea what yours concern even is
iPhoto does not "download" to any place - it does import and the only place it imports to is the iPhoto library so this statement makes no sense at all
My iphoto program stopped downloading to the program, it will download to the computer though.
And it is really helpful to know what version of iPhoto you have and what version of the OS you have
One possible off the wall guess with no information is that your have your events sorted incorrectly (fix by the view menu ==> sort events) or that your camera dates are incorrect

How do I fix it when an album won't play on my ipod but will in itunes?
How do I fix it when an album won't play on my ipod but eill in itunes?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

ive got a laptop from a friend, she cleared everything off it. ive downloaded itunes and for some reason all her music has appeared in the library. How do i delete her music from the itunes libary so i can add my own music?
In iTunes, select the music you want to delete (⌘+a to select all) and hit Delete on your keyboard.
Also delete the music files in Finder. Also make sure you have your own Apple ID and iTunes account and logged in. -
I have had this imac for one year and 2 mos. recently I hear a swooshing noise like speakers are frying when I power up and again intermittantly which lasts about only a few second and quiets down by itself. I have mt portable DVD drive unplugged, I turn down the volumn on the imac but it makes no difference.
I don't have applecare so I guess I should take it to the local apple store in Santa Monica ffor them to check it out. But it could be that it wont do it when you expect it to happen ???
Is anyone familiar with this sound ?Could it be the hard drive making this noise?
Or could it be the fans? -

At the risk of sounding like an idiot
I seem to remember having QT Pro on my powerbook when I bought it. At least I had the ability to watch stuff full screen. Somewhere along the line I updated QT because of some prompt probably, and lost the use of all of QT's features, including full-screen mode. What I have is like the demo version or something. Can I get the version back that I paid for with my mac? And another question: when I share an iMovie HD project with QT on the full quality setting, is that really a full-quality version? As good as if I had put the project on a DVD straight from iMovie? Thanks for any help.
I bought it right around then, and it came with Tiger. I figured I could re-install QT with the bundle software disc that came with the computer, but (and I'm going back a year or more), I seem to remember that I could'nt install QT only, like could'nt pull it out of the 'bundle' without installing all the other stuff. Know what I'm sayin? All I want is the quicktime that I once had.
So its safe then, for me to make my movies with iMovie, share them with quicktime full quality, delete them (cause the projects are so friggin huge), and just use the QT files with iDVD withough coprimising any quality? Was that straight enough!!??
thanks for the help. -
