HT204074 will i lose the music on my decive if i enable itunes match

Will I lose the music on my iphone if I enable itunes match?

You will not "lose" your music, since:
1) it is already stored in your computer
or
2) you have it available from the itunes store, if you bought the tracks there.
These two methods are the only options to get music into the phone, so you can't lose a single track.
However, if you chose to enable iTunes match in your device, it will erase the music that is already stored in your phone, and you will have to load it from the cloud. I assume this is the answer that you are looking for. Hope this helps.

  • I am trying to export a slide show from iPhoto with music from iTunes. it will not export the music file because i have not enabled iTunes plus. how do i do this?

    i am trying to export a slideshow from iphoto using a song from itunes. an error message comes up and say it will not export the song because itunes plus has not been enabled. how do i do that?

    It sounds like you tune is an .m4p file - p=protected and has DRM.
    Previously you could get the + version which was a .m4a file with no protection/DRM.
    The + option has been replaced with iTunes Match - $24.99 a year.
    A better option if you have a .m4p file would be to repurchase the .m4a version from the iTS unless you want to update your entire library with iTunes match.

    A restore will erase your iTunes media but you can re download iTunes purchases without being charged again.

  • I tunes will no longer open. If I uninstall and re-install itunes will I lose the music in the library

    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,
    Griff W.

    how can I get only the music I want onto my iPhone using iTunes Match?  At present it is putting a random selection on; it has none of the same control as iTunes on my Mac.  And although I uploaded all my album artwork to iCloud, it is not transferring it back to my iPhone

    You can copy those songs to a cd and then put a copy to your itunes media library.

  • 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?

  • Hi bought an Ipod and a friend put music on it for me but will I lose the music if I sync it with my own computer?

    A friend has put music on my IPOD but now I would like to add more from my own PC. Will I lose all the original music if I erase and sync?

    OK.
    Same thing.
    When you buy a cd you DO NOT buy the right to distribute that music to others - this is stealing and is not legal.
    You have no legal right to the music.
    Sorry.

  • Will I lose the music files on my IPhone when I sync with my new Mac Book?

    I have music files on my iPhone that I fear will be lost when I first sync with iTunes on my new Mac Book. When I try to sync a msg pops up saying that all music on the iPhone will be deleted and replaced by the selected music from my Mac Book.
    Is there anyway to overwrite the computer iTunes with the files of the iPhone. The option to overwrite the iPhone is there but the other way around??
    Appreciate all assistance.

    I'm afraid you're asking in the wrong place. iSync is only for syncing Contacts & Calendars to non-Apple mobile phones.
    Try the Using iTunes for Mac or one of the iPhone forums.
    What you should do is transfer your iTunes Library from the old computer to the new one, then continue syncing as normal.

  • Will I lose my music if I uninstall my itunes

    My itunes says it's corrupt or not working properly I keep trying to download itunes all over but I'm worried if I uninstall my itunes will I lose the music I have.

    No, keep your library and you'll be fine. Just go to Control Panel > Uninstall a program
    Uninstall everything with Apple, then reinstall the latest version. When you open it, you should see your original music files from your library.

    Hi texasslagle,
    It sounds like you are having issues installing iTunes on your Windows 7 PC, a frustrating situation I am sure.
    There is an article that you may want to use to try to complete your install here -

    I have an old Ipod and am trying to sync the music from it onto my new (Windows) Computer. When it links us it says it must remove and sync the music. Does this mean I will lose the music from my ipod forever?

    Does this mean I will lose the music from my ipod forever?
    Yes, that is exactly what it means.
    The right way to do it is to first rebuild your library on the new computer, and then sync the iPod. 
    You can rebuild your library by copying the library from the old computer or from your backup.
    If neither of those options is available, you can extract the songs from the iPod, although the process is a bit hairy.  See this guide for the procedure, written by Forum member Steve/turingtest2.
