HT5312 delete itunes and start over

How do I delete itunes and completely start over but not lose the money on card?

You do not loose money on your account even if you uninstall iTunes. However, if you create an entirely new account, the store credits will not be transferred over.

  • I can not upgrade from 10.2 to 10.6 because of missing "itunes.msi" file.  How do I repair it? I can not remove itunes and start over.

    I can not upgrade from 10.2 to 10.6 because of missing "itunes.msi" file.  I can not delete ITunes and start over either.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • How to delete all music from itunes and start over

    I have had many issues with my itunes, and I want to completely delete it and start over. My ipod has all the movies and music just as I want it. Is there a way to start over with itunes and import all the music and movies from my ipod and purchase history?

    Rebuilding your library from the contents of your device is possible (see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device) but I wouldn't recommend this as an approach to cleaning up your library if you don't have to. You could, for example, delete the current iTunes Library.itl file and then reimport the contents of the media folder. This would wipe out all playlists, ratings, play counts, and clean up any dead links in the library, but might still show any previously duplicated content, and iTunes is likely to wipe and reload your device next time you sync.
    Why not tackle the issues in your library?

  • How to erase everything in iTunes and start over

    I now realize that I have TWO of each file and that NEITHER file shows the play count and rating from my previous computer. Furthermore, none of my playlists show up.
    For this reason, I would like to know how I can erase EVERYTHING in my iTunes library (music, videos, etc.) and start over.
    I used this tutorial to move all my music: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
    Someone please tell me how I can erase everything and start over so I can transfer all my music and playlists and music information (stars, play counts) from my iBook to my MacBook.

    I've transferred music between computers like that, and I have NEVER been able to transfer play counts and ratings, which can be pretty frustrating, but hey at least you have all your music. If you want to start over, just select all your iTunes songs and erase them, and then open the music files on your harddrive or iPod or wherever they are, and you should be fine. If it bothers you seeing a zero next to the playcount, you can try hiding the playcount under the settings so you won't be reminded of it. I don't think it's possible to transfer playcounts, but if it is then good luck, and I hope this helps!

  • Please tell me how to remove ALL of my old iTunes and start over??

    I can't log in to my old iTunes account.
    I've tried everything, and it still says wrong password/apple id and birthday.
    I called apple support, and they couldn't help me either.
    So can you please just tell how to just remove my old iTunes (including my library and log in info) from my computer?
    So I can just start a new account.
    I don't care if I lose my songs, because i don't listen to alot of them that's on there anymore anyway,
    but i can't add anymore, because of course it won't let me log in.
    I've tried uninstalling iTunes through my control panel on my laptop, and reinstalling iTunes.
    This didn't work, all that done was put all my songs back on there, and so of course it put my log in back on there as well.
    How do I just delete ALL of it, as if I never had an iTunes?
    So I can have a diffferent apple id and such.
    And reinstall my ''new'' iTunes, and just get songs all over again.
    Also if I do this how will my iPod touch respond?
    Will it ask '' Do you wan't to delete what's on your iPod now, and replace it?'' (with whatever will be on my new one.),
    or something like that.
    Because I hope so, that's what I wan't.
    I hope this makes sense. THANKS

    No need to delete anything. Sign out of the iTunes store. Create a new account and sign in with it. That said fixing access to your current ID is prefereable as updating apps across multiple Apple IDs is currently akward.

  • Erasing all music from iTunes and starting over from an external hard drive

    Hello,
    I tried moving all my media to an external hard drive to make room on my MacBook Pro and just be able to run the media (ie music movies etc) from the external hard drive when it was connected.
    Well this backfired big time probably because I did not follow any sort of instructions.
    1st I backed up Finder > music > iTunes > iTunesMedia folder to two seperate external hard drives just in case.
    2nd I think (this was back in March 2013) I decided to cut/delete the folder Automatically Add to iTunes and moved it to one of my external hard drives (this folder for some reason contained mostly everythiing that was in the iTunes Media folder).
    3rd I finally decided to erase content from iTunes Media Folder
    4th I deleted the iTunes Media folder because I felt it was stupid to have a "iTunes Media folder" and "iTunes Music Folder" in the same place but not actually have anything in the iTunes Music folder (probably really stupid of me in retrospect)
    5th I unchecked the box under iTunes > Preferences > Advanced "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library"
    6th I believe I changed the location of "iTunes Media folder location" in the Advanced area under Preferences thinking this should be pointing to my external drive
    I then believe I tried to run iTunes and play my content, but when I did all it did was copy my music/media back to my MacBook Pro hard drive but I did not realize it was doing this until later the next day when I tried to play some music and realized I had 3 copies of everything in my iTunes program (ie music movies podcasts tv shows etc) however, I could play all three versions of whatever it was I selected there was no "error message" saying that iTunes could not located that file, would you like to try and locate.
    So I checked Finder to see if there were 3 copies of everything (by the way at this point I stopped connecting my external hard drive for the sake of making more copies on iTunes) but there wasn't??? So I tried to go through Option+View > Show Exact Duplicate Copies and delete all but one of the items. When I would delete them and it asked if I wanted to move them to my Trash Bin I clicked yes and all the 2nd and 3rd copies were gone!!! Yeah, so when I played those songs/movies that remained they would play!!!!!
    Than I realized that my Internal Hard Drive was almost full and went looking around for things I could delete to help make my MacBook run better, and realized that my Trash had a large amount of data in it and that emptying it would significantly reduce space on my Internal Hard Drive, but when I went back to iTunes and selected music or movies to play it placed the infamous "!" next to that track or movie and it could not locate those items anymore?
    Long long long story short hopefully, can anyone help me set up iTunes so that it only can play content/media off of my external drive and not take up space on my internal hard drive? Is this even possible to do that or will always start to copy those files from the external hard drive back onto the internal hard drive? and second is there anyway to use the Apple router external hard drive to use as the source for all my media?
    PS I am running Mac OS X Lion version 10.7.5 and iTunes 11.1.3 (8) 64-bit

    Quit iTunes.
    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder to the external. Don't only copy the iTunes media folder.
    Hold Option, launch iTunes, select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the external.
    This is all you need to do.
    Everything for iTunes (except the application) is on the external.

    Make a shortcut to this folder on your desktop.
    Nothing should be in this folder. When you put a file here, it will get moved by iTunes and added to the library.
    The reason it had files in it is because you moved it.

  • My daughter got an ipad, I now have her ipod. Both have the same username and password so when I sinc the ipod on my computer it downloads all of her games/music. Is there a way to delete everything and start over so that I can have only my apps/music?

    My daughter got an ipad so I took her ipod. The problem is both of them have the same user id and password so when I sinc the ipod to itunes, it downloads all of her apps/music that I don't want to the ipod. Is there a way to wipe out everything on the ipod and change the username/password (I guess) so that when I sinc it, it doesnt download her stuff?  Also, there are a few songs that I have purchased through iTunes that I would like to keep, can I do this or will I have to re-purchase the music again?

    (I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!)   I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

  • Is it possible to delete MobileBackups and start over?

    I believe that I have inadvertently messed up the classification of my MobileBackups folder.  I have a 500 GB SSD that is nearly full when MobileBackups is included. This is true whether the information comes from the Finder, Disk Utility or doing 'df -h' from the terminal. Also, when I look at the storage from System Information, all of the disk space used by MobileBackups is incorrectly classified as 'Other'. I have tried getting rid of MobileBackups by doing 'sudo tmutil disablelocal', and leaving the machine for some time, but this seems to have no effect.  One of the additional symptoms that something is wrong is that Carbon Copy Cloner is no longer able to clone my disk because the external disk runs out of space. In reality, I have less than 250 GB used on my disk, but because MobileBackups is being included, it appears that I have 470 GB used. I would appreciate any information on how to safely remove MobileBackups and have it properly classified.
    Here is the current storage information:
    Filesystem                         Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
    /dev/disk0s2                       466G  436G   29G  94% /
    localhost:/Sx9aylpulB9Fbuo8AtUDPS  466G  466G     0 100% /Volumes/MobileBackups
    My system info:
    MacBook Pro, Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013
    2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
    16 GB RAM
    OS X 10.9.4
    500 GB SSD
    Thanks for any help,

  • How do I delete everything in Iphoto and start over

    I have given up trying to fix my library. I would like to delete everything in old library and hope I can reimport my pictures from disks and edit then again. how do I make sure everything that was in the old library is absolutely, positively gone so that it (hopefully) doesn't mess up again? Just trash the library everywhere I can find it and start importing again?

    They were showing up when I launched IPhoto. But when trying to upload, I would browse and find pictures, then Iphoto Library. In Iphoto library, the new albums, folders, etc., were not showing up - it still had the old ones so I would have had to look at each picture in it to make sure it was the right one.
    Example: In my first Iphoto library, I had a file called wedding, one called wedding 2, etc. My pictures kept disappearing and I did what you suggested and created a new library and they showed back up. But when I organized them in the new library, I had a file called wedding and one called bridesmaids. When browsing to upload photos, my Iphoto library on the computer still had the old file names in it.
    That's why I'm wondering if I need to completely delete everything and start over.

  • How do you delete your itunes account and start over?

    How do you delete your itunes account that you registered with and start over?

    Delete the credit card information from the account and let it go dormant or you can contact iTunes through the expresslane and have them disable the account. To change your itunes and iphone over to a different account, first go to appleid.apple.com and create a new account then sign out of itunes on your computer and sign back in using the new account. Then, sign out of you phone's stored apple ID and sign in with your new apple ID.(Settings>Store>Tap your apple ID and choose "sign out".
