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 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 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.

How can I view iTunes charges without having iTunes?

How can I view iTunes charges without having iTunes?
Unless you have iTunes installed. I cannot find a way to see details about charges to my account.
I understand that a confirmation email is sent after each charge, but unfortunately I delete those.
Apple has to implement an easier way for people to track details of charges without the need of iTunes, since most people do not connect or depend anymore of iTunes and only use (OTA) for registration, updates, iCloud restore, etc.

Sorry, but other than the receipts, the only way to view the dates and costs of a purchase are by using iTunes ona computer. If you want to make suggestions to Apple regarding a different method, you can use their feedback pages:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
Those people who do not arrange access to iTunes are taking a big risk with their purchases, since without backing up to iTunes on your computer you're at the mercy of the app and content owners who can remove items at any time. This has happened on numerous occasions, and if that happens, redownloading that item will no longer be possible, leaving you with no recourse should you inadvertently or deliberately remove the item from your iOS device.

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

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.

How can I reinstall iTunes U on my ipad2? It was deleted in error.

How can I reinstall iTunes to my iPad2? It was deleted in error by my grandson and now my app store does not work at all.

Try resetting:
Hold both the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.
...then try downloading it from the App Store again.

In the middle of downloading an update for garage band and lost the connection, now the app won't open or finish the download. Can I reinstall the app without losing my music?

The obvious way to resolve this on a computer would be to uninstall the app, then reinstall it, however on an iOS device that would cause all the data assoicated with the app to be thrown away.
Make sure your iTunes library has the latest updates for all your apps, then backup and restore the device. This should pull back a fresh copy of the app from your iTunes library and then give it the data from your device backup.

How can i designate the location of the purchased music from itune store?, how can i designate the location of the purchased music from itune store?

how can i designate the location of the purchased music from itune store?, how can i designate the location of the purchased music from itune store?

Hi,
Thanks. I know how to do that, however, I thought it only works with the imported content not the purchased ones. The reason for wanting this was that I keep all my music in NAS drive for SONOS (the wireless music system) will need the music to be in NAS so that it can play music while the mac is on sleep mode.
Anyhow, I will try again and let you know if it does work.
Thanks again.

How can I reinstall OS X without signing to App Store

I had Mountain Lion on my macbook pro and I wanted to reinstall it. So I formated the hard drive and tried to use "Reinstall OS X" from restore hd. I only forgot one thing, this version of system was bought by my friend and with his Apple ID. I had bought 10.6 I thing but there is no way to downgrade. How can I solve this? I don´t know anybody else with mac and I don´t have any contact on that friend. I don´t have Time Machine backup.
(Sorry for bad english.. it isn´t my mother tongue)
Thank you.

I only forgot one thing, this version of system was bought by my friend and with his Apple ID.
You can't reinstall Mountain Lion without knowing your friend's Apple ID and password. In other words, you had been using an illegal copy of ML. You need to purchase your own. It's only $20. Apple will not help you reinstall ML from another user's account.
Since you do own Snow Leopard, you have to do a two step reinstall to get back to Mountain Lion.
1) Insert the Snow Leopard DVD and boot to it by restarting and holding down the Option key. Once the screen to choose a startup disk appears, choose the DVD and install Snow Leopard onto the hard drive.
2) Once the install is complete, your Mac will be 10.6.3 at the newest since that was the last version released on disk. You must then download and install the 10.6.8 Combo Update to get the App Store installed.
3) Launch the App Store and login with your Apple ID and password, which is the same one you use to login to these forums. Purchase Mountain Lion. It will download and automatically launch the installation. With a legal copy under your Apple ID, you will always be able to get it again in the future without paying for it again.

HT4098 I have a subscription to The Telegraph which I purchased before changing my email and apple ID. How can I get iTunes to transfer this purchase and put it under my new apple ID?

Did you create a NEW Apple ID or did you change the email address for your OLD Apple ID? This will affect how you update apps in the future.
Anyway, go to Settings/iTunes&App Stores, log out, then log in with the new ID.

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?

My computer tells me I purchased Rod Stewart's Christmas album. I DID NOT. How do I get iTunes to cancel the purchase. Also, this thing has suddenly started playing when I turn on my computer. How do I make it stop?

It is probably too late to cancel it, but contact the iTunes store support staff at http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html and see what they can do for you.

How can I reinstall iTunes without losing tune content of my iPod

I had a major Windows system 32 problem and had to reformat my hard drive. (Computer was backed up before incident.)
Later, I got a message about a corrupt iTunes driver and found iPod and iTunes in recycle bin.
Long story short:
I have installed updated iPod software and now need to re-install iTunes. I read somewhere how to re-install updated iTunes without losing what is already on my iPod...but I forget where I read it.
Of course, I DON'T WANT TO LOSE the content in my iPod.
My understanding is that, if I do nothing to prevent it, when I download iTunes and connect my iPod to the PC, I will lose all my iPod content because the new iTunes library will be empty.
How do I get iTunes back again, without losing my iPod tunes?
All suggestions and help very much appreciated!!

Thanks very much!
