How to get Itunes back to functionality
My Itunes was regularly freezing when I added any type of file to my library. To fix this problem, I followed the steps to enter Safe Mode. While it did work, the steps afterwards to lead me to my Plugins and 3rd party software were futile, as opening these folders displayed nothing. I dont believe I have any 3rd party plugins at all, so what could the problem be, and how can I fix it?
Itunes has already been reinstalled and updated, so this is not the issue. Running on Win7 Aspire.
Also, I cannot edit the playlist. Once it's on there, it's on there for good.

Anyone know how I get iTunes back onto my new 4S?
Just noticed this evening, when I wanted to go to the iTunes store, that the application is missing. Does anyone know how this could have happened or how I get it back (short of doing a complete re-install of the OS).
You cannot delete it. It is likely on another sceen, in a folder or you have restrictions set.
Check all of these.
If this fails then just reset your homescreen layout.
All is covered in the manual:

HOW TO GET ITUNES BACK TO NORMAL AFTER FORMATTING PC.....XP PRO
ok so i have a fresh computer, i just finished installing itunes 8.0
im pretty sure i backed up all my itunes info and folders properly to my external HD
i just plugged in my iphone to the fresh PC and it didn't transfer all my info from phone to PC....but at the bottom it does give the detail info or space used for songs, video, apps, other and free space.....but when clicking on the tabs at the top (ie info, music, videos, apps, ringtones....none of my stuff is there, it's all blank.
I was hoping my phone would dump its contents onto itunes....no luck
SO MY QUESTION IS: how do i re-fill itunes with all the files and folders i backed up on the external?? I tried dragging and dropping or right clicking and coping into the itunes icon on my desk top screen but no luck, it won't accept it.
Any help would be amazing guys!!
thanks iJamesy!
PS....MOSTLY IM CONCERNED ABOUT IMPORTING MY APP INFORMATION INTO ITUNES....FOR EXAMPLE, ALL THE TO-DO LISTS IVE WRITTEN OR DIARY LOGS IVE WRITTEN IN IDIARY OR NOTES FROM NOTEPADThe itunes to iphone music sync is one way. Iphone does not support transfer of music from iphone to itunes.
If you saved your itunes folder, then you can replace the itunes folder on your new computer with the copy you saved to external drive. I'm not sure about PC but with Mac I just drag all the music to itunes and it imports.
You can use the help function in itunes to assist you as well. -

The App store is a iOS function and cannot be deleted. Try checking other home screens/folders and see if you can locate it. If not, go into Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

I had purchased an audio book from itunes on my iPad and when I synced my iPad with my computer, my audiobook disappeared. I have already purchased this audiobook, so now I just need to know how to get it back because it is not on iPad anymore. I don't think the audiobook was backed up to icloud but I have the receipt to prove I purchased it. Is there anyway I can get it back?
"If I purchase an audio book in iTunes on my iPad why can't I listen to it on my Mac? "
You can. Why do you think you cannot?
If you purchased it on your ipad, then you would have to transfer it to your computer. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
You can then listen to it on your computer. -

I right clicked my iPod on iTunes and clicked restore from back up because i thought it would undo my IOS6 update. IT DELETED ALL MY PICTURES (2,000) AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET THEM BACK!!!! Please help me!!!!!
Well, if you have not backed them up, they are gone.
Next time, when you have important material in only one place, back it up. -
