uninstalling itunes wont remove the music from your computer, its just like if you replace your dvd player all your dvds will still be on the shelf where you left them

  • TS5376 I'm having problems with install version 11.1.4. If I uninstall and reinstall will I lose all my downloaded music?

    I'm having problems with install version 11.1.4. If I uninstall and reinstall will I lose all my downloaded music?

    Hi, so did I.  It seems to be a huge problem with everyone.  I opened a folder on desktop and called it target.  I copied all my songs into that folder.
    I uninstalled Itunes completely.  Rebooted.  Then I installed a fresh install.
    I then dragged all the songs back to Itunes and it worked.  I hope that helps. 
    I read an article the other day and apple is suppose to come out with some genius fix for this problem, it really seems to be global.
    Good luck,

  • If my itunes is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled, will I lose all my songs? What do I need to do to keep everything?

    I cannot open itunes.  When I click on it a message pops up saying that itunes is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.  If I reinstall it will I lose all my songs?  I have over 2,000 songs that I cannot lose!  What do I need to do to fix it and keep all my songs?

    Aha, a somewhat different question. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

    Hi braddyloopy,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes,  your music files should not be erased or affected in any way. It is always a good idea to back up your data before making any changes to your computer, though.
    If you'd like to locate your music, this article explains how to find the files:
    Where are my iTunes files located?

    When you reinstall iTunes, I'd recommend using the method in this article to make sure it's reinstalled completely:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • Restoring computer- will I lose all my songs?

    I'm going to have to restore my computer to it's original factory settings because of a bug that it's having, which means i'll have to lose all my songs on iTunes. When I reinstall iTunes, will all the songs be there again? How do I make it so I don't have to upload and purchase all that music again?

    Yes, you will lose everything and have to repurchase it.
    Either use File -> Backup library in iTunes to backup everything to CD/DVD or copy /My Documents/My Music/iTunes folder to an external drive.

  • HT1420 will I lose all my songs if I deauthorize my computer

    My old computer crashed and need to deauthorize all computers.  1) Will I lose all songs that have already been purchased?  2) Will it affect iphones and ipads associated with the apple id?

    No...
    If you no longer have, or access to, the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
    Log in to iTunes,  go to "view your account info" on the itunes store,  deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months)  and then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

  • Because of warning  I received for my iTunes (it would not start up) MSVCR80dill missing, if I remove the program and reinstall will I lose the music I already had and purchased?

    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?

    CS5, it took seven hour's and when the "do you accept  the term's" popped up,
    I clicked it and another page came up saying  to close explorer and it was
    not open (I kept clicking and it kept popping up I  couldn't make it leave
    that page so I canceled the whole thing) I will  give the link that you sent
    a try tomorrow and will let you know one way or  the other. Thanks, it is

  • TS1702 If I delete and reinstall will I lose my books?

    If I delete IBooks and reinstall it will I lose my books?

    If you purchased the books through the iBooks store, then no, you will not lose them but you will have to redownload them.
    You can do so by opening the iBooks app, tapping the Store icon and clicking on the Purchased tab at the bottom. You can download any books you have purchased from here..
