I need to re-install Itunes on computer
I need to re-install I-tunes on my computer, but will my music still be there after I uninstall the current version?
iTunes media library and folders are stored at a separate location away from program folders and files. Uninstall iTunes program will not affect your media. Once nstalled iTunes will go to same location to look for your media library n files.

Cannot install itunes on computer
I don't have internet on computer. I downloaded itunes newest version and saved to flash drive. When i try to install onto computer, I get this error message.
"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows your running. Check your computers system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program and then contact the software publisher." I have already deleted all previous itunes that was on the computer so thats not the problem. I know i don't need internet to install itunes onto computer because it worked for me before. If anyone could help me out I would appriciate it. ThanksFor general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

My computer crashed. I saved my music in cloud and external drives. Re-installed iTunes on computer. No playlists are listed. Will I lose them if I connect my iPod to the computer? Some of my playlists are work related. I NEED THEM! Don't want to lose them!
Was the ENTIRE iTunes folder copied from the computer to the External drive? If so, simply copy it back and everything in iTunes will be exactly as it was in iTunes.

having problems installing itunes on computer so I can sysc with iphone. had to download only then installed itunes. getting error trying to install AppleMobileDevice64.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Mobile Device Support entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -

I have a problem with my iTunes, everytime I try to sync my iPhone 4 it says "backing up" and doesn't seem to progress anymore. I need to cancel the sync everytime because it just doesn't do anything and then I need to end iTunes through Windows Task Manager as it freezes every time. My phone has also been forced to restore a few times too, and I've lost my backups so I've lost all photos, contacts, etc. and because I can't sync anything I have nothing on my phone. I have actually managed to sync all my music back on the phone though, after "repairing" iTunes through the control panel, but I can't seem to do a full sync.
I've been looking over the Internet with similar problems, and the only thing I can think of resolving this problem is re-installing iTunes completely and installing it again. Now, I'm pretty sure I know how to do this but I do not want to lose my music. I don't want to lose playlists, play counts, etc. either. Is it possible to completely re-install iTunes and keep everything I don't want to lose? Again, I'm pretty sure re-installing iTunes will resolve this problem I have, but if anyone has any other suggestions it'll be great. And I know its been mentioned before and I'm sorry for making a new discussion but nothing already mentioned has resolved the problem. Any replies will be appreciatedI don't want to lose playlists, play counts, etc. either.
These are stored in a file named
iTunes Library.itl
I always make a copy of that and put it on a thumb drive before I reinstall/upgrade itunes. If the upgrade goes badly, I have a copy and I can revert back to the old itunes version and old library version.
That takes care of the itunes library database. The itunes library content is all the music, podcasts, video, apps, etc and should be in your user/Music/itunes folder.
Your phone's data backup is stored here
\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Here is an article on backups. Make sure to "Expand All Sections" and read it all.

After installing itunes, my desktop computer doesn't recognize my internal cd rom/burner. I removed itunes and it works ok and when I reinstall itunes it won't work again. I went into the windows registry files and deleted the lower filter which is one correction for this and it worked ok until the next itunes upgrade and now it won't work again. If anyone knows what to do please let me know. My device manager shows a code "10"
My device manager shows a code "10"
That suggests an AFS.sys issue. But we'd better doublecheck.
Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". (If you're running iTunes 11.0.x you'll need to bring up your menu bar first to see the Help menu.) Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here. (Use your Ctrl-V keyboard shortcut to paste.) -
Re-installing iTunes after computer crash and syncing Ipods
Our computer recently crashed, and needed to be completely wiped out and reset.... unfortunately our tech was unable to back-up our music files. I have all our music saved onto my iphone and an ipod nano....
So now that I had to re-install itunes, and each ipod can only be synced to one library, does this mean I have to erase all the songs on our ipods, and start from scratch??? Or is there a way around this?Restore the iTunes library from the backups you were keeping regularly of your computer.

When I was prompted there was an update on iTunes I did as usual and began installing the update. Something happened during that time and I got an error saying it didn't download correctly. Now when I go to open iTunes it gives me an error message and says I need to re-install the program. I'm not sure how to do that. I am also concerned that I will lose all of the things that I have backed up from my phones, purchases, apps, etc. Can anyone please give me some insight on what to do?

Need to Re-install iTunes - here is how to do it
If you need to re-install the current version of iTunes here is a trouble free way of doing so... this may or may not take care of other problems as well, if so good luck... my only assumption here is you already have a good and problem free System... if in doubt ask 1st.
1st remove the receipts for iTunes so as a new copy can be reinstalled....
To do it yourself....
Go to the main System library and open the Receipts folder or Type 'Receipts' in Finder search box to find receipts folder....
drag to the trash... iTunes4.pkg and check to see if any other 'iTunes.pkg' files are there, if so, drag also to the trash but only the ones starting with 'iTunes' leave all others untouched and close the folder.
or have a GUI like Desinstaller do it for you..
Check that your HD is in order with 'Disk Utility' ...
Run repair HD from original CD or DVD install disk...
insert disk and re-start holding down the 'c' key until you see the spinning gear.
At installer level do not continue...
Use top left menu and go 'Disk Utility' (pre Tiger).... use 'Utilities' Menu for Tiger and go 'Disk Utility'
select your HD volume with Operating system on...
select 1st aid... select repair Hard Disk.
if errors are repaired run again until none are reported then verify your HD.
quit and return to the Finder Do not continue with the Installer...
Check the permissions are set correct on the Apple installed software...
Use 'Disk Utility' from Applications > Utilities > select HD... select 1st aid. repair permissions... if repairs are needed run again until none are repaired... do not worry about messages 'we are using special permissions etc... they are OK Quit when finished.
Click here to download iTunes 6.0.1 .... then install.
* if you have any combo system upgrades that need to be applied, now is the time to do it.... make iTunes the last thing to be installed.
Now do the HD repairs and permissions repairs again, as above, in the same order. Important
Your iTunes program should work OK now ... there are a few bits which are optional and I recommend as good things to do and that is, Check and set correct permissions on all your music files, replace the dock icon and convert the ID3 tags
Use BatChmod to set correct permissions on your home ~ Music folder
This compact GUI will perform the same tasks as a 'command line in Terminal '
drag the complete Music folder with libraries and iTunes Music folder inside to the BatChmod Icon and drop....
check path is correct.... tick if not already.... Owner=R W X, Group=R, Others=R,
for a 'Shared Folder' ... tick if not already.... Owner=R W -, Group=R W -, Others=R W -.
then tick 'Apply ownership and privileges' 'unlock'... click Apply... provide password... all done very quick...
Drag the iTunes Icon from the dock and replace it with a new copy from the Applications folder
Sometimes it also a good idea to convert ID3 tags...Start iTunes and select all songs in the library ... select from top menu 'Advanced' choose 'convert ID3 tags' .... ver. 2.3 works well with iTunes.

If you've already installed the latest version then the message may be a sign of a corrupt library. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

Need to re-install iTunes app on my phone, where can I download the app?
I need to re-install the app for iTunes on my phone. Can't find it on app store. And a reset didn't add it to my phone (3GS)
You can't delete it. It may be on another page or in a folder. If restrictions are turned on for the iTunes Store, the iTunes Store is disabled and its icon is removed from the Home screen. You cannot preview, purchase, or download content. Check Settings > General > Restrictions. If it's not restricted, you can reset the home screen layout. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout. That will put the icons back in their original positions.

I'm currently unable to launch itunes from my PC. I get an error message stating that MSVCR80.dll is missing. It recommends that I re-install itunes and that may correct the issue. I've re-installed numerous times and nothing seems to be working. What should I do?
Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.
