HT1923 iTunes Library - What happens upon uninstall?

When I uninstall iTunes, does my iTunes Library file stay on my hard drive? and then when I reinstall, is it still there with all my songs?

Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall doesn't touch your content. (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times in case of disasters of any sort.)

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

I'm trying to sync my old ipad to itues on my laptop but it keeps saying ipad synced with another iTunes library what can I do I don't want to lose these photos?

You can only sync an ipad to one computer at a time.
You can look to something like dropbox, upload your photos there, then do the sync and since your photos are backed up it won't hurt if they are deleted.

ITunes radio: What happens if I buy a song I already own?

I don't understand why iTunes Radio shows a "buy" button, with a price, for songs that I already own. I have iTunes match, so they already have it all on their servers, and they have my full library contents. Yet they still ask if I want to buy the same songs.
What happens if I click on "buy"? Will I get charged again for the same song?

HT4914 vinyl recordings in my i tunes library what happens

vinyl recordings in my i tunes library what happens

Hello darlosboy,
Here is a brief description of how the songs will be Matched with iTunes Match that were imported to your iTunes library.
How iTunes Match works.
iTunes determines which songs in your collection are available in the iTunes Store. Any music with a match is automatically added to iCloud for you to listen to anytime, on any device. Since there are more than 26 million songs in the iTunes Store, chances are your music is already in iCloud.3And for the few songs that aren’t, iTunes uploads what it can’t match (which is much faster than uploading your entire music library).
From: http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
All the best,
Sterling

I've had an iphone for a whlie now and its been synced to another computer. i've finished syncing it to my new computer but can't seem to import my songs from my phone into my itunes library. what do i need to do?

i'm not very tech savy so a little help would be really appreciated.
i've had my iphone4 for several months now and it was synced up to a family computer. i have just gotten a toshiba satellite somthing or other and i have synced my phone to it already. my problem is as soon as i disconnect the phone i can no longer play the music that i bought from itunes on my phone and i can't seem to import any of them into my itunes library. how can i fix this?

On the new laptop, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.

When i sync my iphone it says that there is not enough room in my itunes library what do I do?

When I try to sync my iPhone with iTunes, it says that there is not enough room in my itunes library for my phone to sync. Why is this? Do I need to delete stuff off my library? Or is my laptop too full? Or is it that my phone hasn't got enough space? ...Or something else?

Why is this so difficult to figure out?
The message is quite clear. The size of the iTunes library is larger than the space available on the device.
Stop attempting to sync the entire library to the device.
Select the desired content to sync to the device.
Sync.

How can I see in the itunes library what music has been added to my ipod touch?

I want to put some more music on the touch, but I don't know what I have added so far. Is their some easy way of seeing or finding out?
Thanks

Why not use AAC instead of Apple lossless?
I can't accept the loss of quality. It's something of an affliction, I know , but I'd be aware that the quality was less than maximum. Besides I frequently plug it into one of my very nice stereo systems, where I'd be more likely to notice.
But no idea about a web page listing your library.
This script -> Make A Text List, will "write an alphabetical list of your choice of the Albums, Artists, Composers, Genres, or Song Names in iTunes to a text file."
Whether it's a text file or HTML, can I search it or at least view if when I'm in music store? That I think is the real challenge here.

When I try to add a video file to my itunes library nothing happens

I have tried dragging and ctrl+o but nothing has happened.

What format is your video file? Itunes only support mov, m4v, mp4 formats.

Can't add files to iTunes library - nothing happens

I used a tool to remove embedded artwork from MP3s (since you can't do this for more than 1 MP3 at a time with iTunes). When this tool was running, it crashed. I've found 3 albums that won't work in iTunes anymore. iTunes acts like it's adding it but nothing happens. No error message, nothing.
The songs play perfectly fine in Windows Media Player and other players. Why can't iTunes add them? Help

On the iTunes Task Bar, Click on Advanced (It may be something different in Windows, I can't remember.) and Click on Authorise computer.

ITunes library not available upon iMac sleep

I have an Intel Core Duo v10.4.8. My iTunes music is on here and I share it on my local network through AirPort Express. When my iMac goes to sleep the sharing is not available on the other computers and I must wake it to continue.
I have the computer set to sleep when it is inactive for 'never'. The display is set to sleep after 15 minutes. I've checked my network settings and have not found anything that would cause this.
I am connected through Built-in Eithernet. AirPort is currently off.
iMac4,1 Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Goth,
You checked it or did you actually perform an SMU reset?
How about the frequency? Does it sleep once a day? Every hour? Every 15 Minutes? Etc?
How about the "Schedule..." settings under Energy Saver? Are both those options cleared?

Trying to use the plug in to switch from iPhoto to lightroom but all I get is a window that says "checking iPhoto library" Whats happening?

rying to use the plug in to switch from iPhoto to lightroom

1. Back up your Library now. You don't use iPhoto to back it up, you can do it simply by dragging the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder to the External Disk
2.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
Regards
TD
