You shouldn't... But Backup your iTunes Library before doing anything.

Itunes weill no longer open. If I uninstall and re-install itunes will I lose the music from the itunes library?
Hello,
All of your content is stored outside of iTunes in the event that the program needs to be removed or reinstalled. Take a look at the article below for instructions on how to properly remove and reinstall iTunes.
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Notes:
iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
These steps may take a significant amount of time to complete, depending on your system.
Hope that helps,

Updated ipod last night and now when turned on tells me to coonect to itunes (picture of usb cable with arrow to itunes). I can't connect to itunes on computer because apple application support can't be found. Tells me to uninstall then reinstall itunes. Will I lose all my music or is it still on my ipod?
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.)

my i phone 3gs has crashed and all that is left on the screen is the i tunes logo and the usb cable picture, when i plug the phone into my laptop its asking me to restore the phone and this will erase all my data. is there any way around this so i dont lose all my pictures ?
Connect your iphone to your computer
Hold down the home button and the power button until the screen goes blank
Turn back on your phone.
Your phone has seemed to enter recovery mode, but its ok! The steps above should bring it out -
Help?
Restore your media and other important files from the backup of the old computer. iDevices are not backup devices.
If you failed to maintain a backup, you may be able to download past purchases from iTunes. -
I accidently uninstalled Bonjour and need to re install it.
If I do what is suggested and uninstall i tunes and reinstall it, will I lose all my songs etc that I already have on i tunes?No. They will be right where you left them after re-installing iTunes.
Either way, you should be backing this content up anyways.

I have an iPod classic with 7000 songs in it. I have emptied my iTunes folder and if I attach my iPod to sync, will I lose all my songs on it or will iYunes save them?
Yes. Syncing can thought of a mirroring process where your iPod is updated by iTunes to mirror what is stored in your iTunes library.
So the next time you sync your iPod, everything will be erased.
If you want to copy contents from the iPod to your PC, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you with this task.

firefox plays video, but no sound. when I type about:plugins in location bar, it shows the firefox default plugin is not enabled. When I look at my plugins, it says it is enabled. I have uninstalled 3.6 and re-installed with the same result. Why do I have no sound. Computer plays I-tunes and all other sounds, just no web browser sounds.
Glad you seem to have sorted things out.
The warning about the warranty is light hearted, I think at one stage it warned "here be dragons" but also intended to make us think as it warns that making changes may produce problems. -
I down loaded the newest iTunes software to update my iPhone 4 and when I open it, it crashes. I have completely uninstalled it twice and reinstalled it again and still it doesn't work. Please help.
- First I would remove and reinstall all the Apple software using the following and then restoring the ipOd.

- Next see if manually placing the iPOd in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Next try DFU mode:

- Next try another computer/cable to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem.
- If the other computer works and yours does not see:

I have been using a free trial of Photoshop cc and my computer crashed. Now it says up to date, but the program is not installed anymore. How can I re install it? I already uninstalled creative cloud and re installed it, but the same issue occurs.
Hi dmomoney24 ,
Kindly refer : CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed.
Please revert if the problem persists.
