Hi! How do I reinstall iTunes software without losing my purchased movies and music?
Thanks anyone!

Just reinstall. Unless something's seriously wrong with your computer, you won't lose any content or settings. Of course it's always wise to have a backup before you make any changes to your computer.
Might I ask what problem you're experiencing that you think will be corrected by reinstalling iTunes?
Regards.

    iTunes purchases cannot be transferred between accounts. If you no longer wish to use the old account at all, you should delete those apps and repurchase them with the new account.
    On the other hand, you could also (and should have before creating a new account - contact iTunes support to deal with account security: https://getsupport.apple.com/Issues.action

  • My daughter cant remember her passcode, and she has never synced it.  Is there any way to restore without losing all the apps and music?

    My daughter can't remember her passcode, and she has never synced it.  Is there any way to restore it without losing all the apps and music that were downloaded?

    If you can't remember the Passcode, you need to restore the device from the computer it was last synced with.
    Follow the instructions for putting the device in recovery mode >  iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    If you are a resident of the U.S., have iTunes 10.3 or later installed, and iOS 4.3.3 or later, can re download iTunes purchases for free.
    So retore the iPod, then re download the iTunes media.

  • How to redownload purchased Movies and music

    my old computer was stolen and the itunes library that was purchased was placed on it. How do i redownload the purchased movies and music to a new computer?

    Thank you for your imput it is helpful.
    Unfortunatly i did not properly back up. I am learning the value of personal back ups. I now own a time capsule and am backing up properly. I still want to take further steps. After all of these years i am seeing some more advantage to saving some files on an internet site server as well.
    as i learn more about the apple world and things like 'me.com' maybe i can be much better prepared in the future.
    Any tips you may have for me in this area would be appreciated.

  • HT1349 how can I reinstall itunes if without lossing purchased music?

    I have to reinstall itunes without loosing the music saved there already, the burner got corrupted and I didnt back up the music purchased.

    Your iTunes data is not stored in the same place as the program files so uninstalling or reinstalling iTunes will not cause you to lose your data.
    Your iTunes library data is located in the iTunes folder in Music.
    Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music/iTunes/
    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
    Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
    Windows 7: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\
    Windows 8: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\

  • How do I switch Itunes Libraries without losing my music?

    The majority of my music is on my old, slow computer and this is where I initially synced my Iphone 5s, but my primary computer (laptop) has some music and I would like to download music from this computer in the future. I can't get the music from my laptop to my Iphone without Itunes prompting a message that says that my music from the other computer will be deleted. I know that I can transfer the music to the other computer via usb external storage devices and this is what I plan to do now, but it is a pain and in the future I would like to be able to get music from my laptop. Is there any way to switch Itunes libraries without deleting my music? Any information would be appreciated.

    ugghh thats so obnoxious I dont know why Apple made it like this it used to be so easy to transfer music.. so does this mean that I'm going to have to delete al of my music from my old computer and then redownload it?

  • Create new iTunes account without losing previously purchased content?

    My husband and I both have iPhone's but currently share one iTunes account from which all music, apps, etc. have been purchased from.  As time goes on, it is getting harder to manage; therefore we want to create a separate account.  Is there a way to create a new Apple ID for his phone without losing the existing content that has already been purchased?

    There is nothing that prevents having iTunes content that was downloaded with more than one Apple ID or iTunes account on one device.
    She needs to register her computer with the new Apple ID with iTunes.
    All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the Apple ID or iTunes account that was used to download the apps. This means in order to install an app update for an app that was downloaded with the existing Apple ID, she will need to use that Apple ID and password or she will be prompted for it when doing so.
    iTunes on your computer allows for transferring iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iOS device.

  • How to decrease PDF file size without losing quality of images and vector lines?

    I have several ai files that I saved as PDFs. Now I'm having problem with the size of this combine files. Can some one assist me with the proper way on decreasing file size without losing quality.
    Thank you.

    I am having the same problem with a different file that's in a different format mentioned above. I'm trying to convert a ".srf" file and turn it into a ".pdf." I was successful doing this but my image, once in a .pdf was also pixilated.
    I thought if I convert my ".srf" file to a ".jpeg" first, then bring this newly created ".jpeg" into a ".pdf," I would have more luck. But unfortunately the free download I got on my computer that's supposed to convert any file to any file, CANNOT convert ".srf" files to ANYTHING!
    Does anyone have any ideas? Or any specific programs I should get?
    Thanks!

  • How can I switch iTunes accounts without losing purchases?

    When I purchased my wife an iPhone, I made the mistake of setting her iPhone up on my iTunes account. It had never been a problem until now with iCloud and other such features that are connected with the iTunes account. Is it possible to switch her to her own iTunes account and still retain the music/apps/etc she has purchased for her device? Thanks.

    Agreed, I would like to able able to split my daughters account up from mine. I do not believe there is a way to do this however.

  • I downloaded music from iTunes onto my iPad. I enabled iTunes Match on my PC (where most of my music is stored). When I turned on iTunes Match on iPad it said the iPad music library would be replaced.How do I use iTunes Match without losing  iPad music.

    I bought music from iTunes and downloaded it to my iPad. I have enabled iTunes Match on my PC (where most of my music is stored). When I turned on iTunes Match on iPad it said "iTunes Match will replace the music library" on my iPad. All of my iPad music is saved on iCloud, and some of my PC music is on iCloud. If I use iTunes Match will the music previously downloaded on my iPad be lost?
    Thanks!!

    You need to either sync the iPad with iTunes so it will transfer the purchases to the iTunes library or download them from the purchase history. Then let iTM work on the "new" tracks in the library then all the music will be available on the iPad.

  • I want to do a reinstall of Yosemite without losing apps, preferences, photos, and files. How do I do this?

    I have a SSD/MacBook Pro late 2011. I had Mavericks on it. I have several backup external hard drives. I installed Yosemite onto one of them to test and see if all my apps worked and my drives for my printer/scanner/copier... all worked. I decided to install Yosemite on my computer SSD... but it was saying it would take upwards of 5-6 hours to download...I didn't have the time...so I got impatient... and copied Yosemite from the external hard drive to my SSD/MacBook Pro using Carbon Copy Cloner's latest version. The SSD/MacBook Pro was bootable and all my apps worked along with my driver. Only problem is that the SSD/MacBook Pro takes so much much much longer to boot than before. Is that Yosemite's problem? or is that because of the way I installed Yosemite on my SSD MacBook Pro? Will installing Yosemite again the proper way fix the boot up time problem?

    Re-installing Yosemite via the App store saved all my apps (they still work)... saved all my files and documents...etc... on my computer and now the boot up is very very very quick compared to before...also quicker than with Mavericks...and much quicker than my external hard drive with Yosemite!!!! Wasn't that complicated after all!!!!

  • How do i reinstall i tunes without lossing my libray

    how do i reinstall i tunes without lossing my libray

    The main file that holds the itunes database is this one:
    C:\Users\Test\Music\iTunes\iTines Library.itl
    I always make a backup copy of that before I upgrade itunes or reinstall.  The installtion is not supposed to damage that file but things happen sometimes.

  • I have all my music on an external hard drive. I just transferred all my files to a new hard drive . How do I sync all my files with my itunes library without losing all my playlists etc and keep everything intact?

    I have all my music on an external hard drive. I just transferred all my files to a new hard drive . How do I sync all my files with my itunes library without losing all my playlists etc and keep everything intact?

    Launch iTunes with the Option key held down, click on Choose Library, and specify it. If the external drive doesn't contain the iTunes database files, create a new library there and import that music.
    If the library contains any rented movies, they won't play on a different computer.

  • I attempted to install an update to my iTunes and got a "C   Runtime Error" message. Now when I attempt to open iTunes I get a pop up that says to reinstall iTunes. But I can't open iTunes to reinstall it. How can I reinstall iTunes?

    I received notification of ANOTHER iTunes update being available, so I attempted to install the update on my Toshiba Satellite laptop running Windows Vista. During the update process, two pop-up announced that I had a "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" Runtime Error, R6034 and another pop-up that states "iTunes" iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. However, I cannot open iTunes. I get the same pop-up telling me to reinstall iTunes.
    I had many songs in my iTunes library that came from sources other than iTunes, mostly my own CDs. Plus, I have nearly $100 credit remaining in the iTunes store. I'm converned I will lose the songs and store credit if I reinstall iTunes. So my questions are:
    1. How can I reinstall iTunes?
    2. If I reinstall it, will I lose my store credit and non-iTunes songs?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Nothing should be lost... However... it is both Prudent and Recommended that a backup should have been created and maintained.
