i dowloaded a update for itunes and now when i try to open it tells me:
this copy of itunes is corruped or not installed....its telling me to reinstall...someone help please lol
when it was in the middle of updating itunes closed .......i duno if that matters....

No, you SHOULDN'T lose your library. I say SHOULDN'T because over the years, I've lost quite a few songs by updating iTunes. I'm not sure why that is but it happens. Other than maybe losing a couple of songs here and there (IF that even happens at all to you), your library should remain intact.
I recommend UNINSTALLING iTunes on your computer first (if it shows up in the Uninstall Menu) and then installing iTunes 11 from a fresh download.
Any version of Windows should have a similar process for uninstalling a program. I've been using Windows since Windows 95 and I now use Windows 7 so I know the process is similar now matter which version you use. I will tell you how I do it in Windows 7.
Start > Control Panel > Uninstall A Program
Then scroll down the menu until you find "iTunes" and highlight it. Then at the top of the screen, select Uninstall. Let Windows finish uninstalling it (it may require a Restart of your computer). Follow all the steps to uninstall it.
Then visit http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and get iTunes 11 for your version of Windows. Download it and install it.
This SHOULD fix the problem. Once you do that, you'll need to go through the process of locating your library though the iTunes Preferences menu. Once your library is sync'd with iTunes, you should be ready to enjoy your music again.
I hope that works for you!

    Yes, beta versions of software often are set with an expiration date.
    Did you have a question? If so, you should post in the private forums for developers, to which you have access as a member of Apple's developer program.

    Hello, fletch72. 
    Thank you for the question.  I see you have uninstalled, reinstalled and the error is persisting.  Try one more time uninstalling all components of iTunes in the order specified of the article below.  These steps must be processed in the order specified or the error will persist.  Once this is done attempt to install iTunes again.

  • When itunes updated it self I got error message saying  Error 7 Windows error 126. I cannot open itunes. Any ideas?

    I got this When I last updated itunes. Can some please help? I cannot open itunes and it is anoying!!!

    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.

  • FF downloaded some update and now I get error message saying update cannot be installed until I get rid of extra FF copies on computer-but I DON"T have any extra copies. I cannot even uninstall the only FF I now have!

    I have a Toshiba laptop, Windows & Home Premium Edition operating system. I had FF 3.6.3 installed and up until 6:00 today it was sort of working properly. I find out later that my huasband cannot even open the browser, as every time he does, a dialog box opens up whcih says "UPdate cannot be installed. Please make sure no other copies of FF are running on computer, then restart FF to try again." But I do not have any other copies of FF. I really do not like it when FF auto installs stuff without my permission. Many times this stuff is downloaded and installed, only to raise havoc with my computer.

    Try a smc reset:

  • I did the iTunes update and now I am getting a Windows error 126 message.

    I did the iTunes update and now I am getting a Windows error 126 message. Now I can't use iTunes at all. Any ideas?

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    It says it cannot removed the older version of iTunes.

  • Download new itunes update and now it wont let me sync

    Download new itunes update and now it wont let me sync. Keeps saying I need 26gb of free space which it didn't say before I downloaded the update. It doesn't make sense. It keeps saying:
    The iPod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library. (additional 26gb required)
    This makes no sense because before the new itunes update there was no problem with me not having enough space. I have 5gb of free space now and I had 5gb of free space before I downloaded the itunes update. Nothing should've changed. And I should not need an extra 26gb of space. How do i fix this problem so I can my ipod normally again.

    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.
