A restore will erase your iTunes media but you can re download iTunes purchases without being charged again.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
"With iTunes 10.3 and iOS 4.3.3 or later, you can download your previous purchases directly to your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or computer.1"

If I restore my iPhone, will it delete the content of my photo stream?
If I restore my iPhone, will it delete the content of my photo stream?
Nope. I have restored my iPod many times (4+) and it didn't ask me to purchase it again. But... if you try this using iTunes 8, you will experience less problems.

I accidentally deleted a texting conversation on my phone. I backed up my phone 4 days ago. If I restore my phone, will I lose the texts I received during those 4 days?
Yes. Restoring a backup puts the phone in exactly the same state it was in when the backup was made.

My iphone will not play the music i have downloaded. can you help?
My iphone will not play the music I purchased and downloaded. Can you help?
That may be a problem related to network settings on your computer, or on the router that you use for connecting to the Internet. Take a look at this article for a possible solution
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
Since this actually a problem with using iTunes, and not directly related to an iPod (or an iPad), you may also want to ask your question in the appropriate iTunes forum category
https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes
The specific problem is that you cannot connect to the iTunes Store when using the iTunes app, even through your computer has Internet access. -
HT204074 will i lose the music on my decive if i enable itunes match
Will I lose the music on my iphone if I enable itunes match?
You will not "lose" your music, since:
1) it is already stored in your computer
or
2) you have it available from the itunes store, if you bought the tracks there.
These two methods are the only options to get music into the phone, so you can't lose a single track.
However, if you chose to enable iTunes match in your device, it will erase the music that is already stored in your phone, and you will have to load it from the cloud. I assume this is the answer that you are looking for. Hope this helps. -
I have an IPad 2. I want to update it to an IOS 5. Will I lose my apps that I purchased from the ITune store?
What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
However, iTunes should ask if you want to backup before you update, but just in case create the backup yourself before you update. The backup contains your app data and settings - so make sure you backup first. If something goes awry when you update, with regard to apps, you can download them again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought them with.
If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.
Transfer purchases.

I just got a new macbook pro. How do I get the 900+ songs that I took off of cds into iTunes on my computer from my iPhone. I had no problems syncing the music I had purchased from iTunes. I have tried to sync it using iTunes match, this did not work. I would like to have access to my full library without going into the user profile of my old computer, which is on my new computers hard drive. I would like to eventually delete the old profile so that I have more space on my hard drive.

I have iBooks 2.1 on ipad. I changed my password and can no longer update the app. If I delete the app and install the updated version, will I lose the books I have purchased?
Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if you can then update the app.
If you do delete the app then you should be able to re-download your ibook purchases via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app. But in case some of them are no longer available in the store and/or you have PDFs or epubs in it, then you could first connect it to your computer's iTunes and do File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) which should copy them over to the Books part of your iTunes library so that you have your own copy of them and can sync them back (even though they aren't iTunes purchases it should also copy over any PDFs or epubs that you have in the iBooks app) -
Itunes weill no longer open. If I uninstall and re-install itunes will I lose the music from the itunes library?
Hello,
All of your content is stored outside of iTunes in the event that the program needs to be removed or reinstalled. Take a look at the article below for instructions on how to properly remove and reinstall iTunes.
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Notes:
iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
These steps may take a significant amount of time to complete, depending on your system.
Hope that helps,

HELP i dont wanna lose all my stuff on my phone
Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.
If it won't let you do this, do a factory restore, then follow the indtructions above. -
Will I lose the music files on my IPhone when I sync with my new Mac Book?
I have music files on my iPhone that I fear will be lost when I first sync with iTunes on my new Mac Book. When I try to sync a msg pops up saying that all music on the iPhone will be deleted and replaced by the selected music from my Mac Book.
Is there anyway to overwrite the computer iTunes with the files of the iPhone. The option to overwrite the iPhone is there but the other way around??
Appreciate all assistance.I'm afraid you're asking in the wrong place. iSync is only for syncing Contacts & Calendars to non-Apple mobile phones.
Try the Using iTunes for Mac or one of the iPhone forums.
What you should do is transfer your iTunes Library from the old computer to the new one, then continue syncing as normal. -
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?

This is a problem with home sharing, you are not going to have to re-encode all your CD's.

A friend has put music on my IPOD but now I would like to add more from my own PC. Will I lose all the original music if I erase and sync?
OK.
Same thing.
When you buy a cd you DO NOT buy the right to distribute that music to others - this is stealing and is not legal.
You have no legal right to the music.
Sorry.
