I want to upgrade, not install intunes all over again!

Heres the thing, me, i'm perfectly happy with an outdated version of itunes, it doesn't bother me in the slightest, however all my movies and TV shows have disippeared from my 30g ipod video and i'm assuming the outdated version is why. I clicked to find updates and i'm brought to a page asking me to install itunes all over again, not just update. Help?
Windows XP

As with most programs, when you update them, the "Old" version has to be removed in order for the new program with its new files to be installed.
When you download the "New" version of iTunes and start installing it, It will detect the "Old" version you have, automaticly remove it and place the new updates to your PC.
When the old version is removed you will not loose any playlist, Music, Ratings ect ect. You can remove iTunes, then reinstall it urself and still not loose any music or have it deleted.

Just installed newest update. Prompt says it failed to install correctly, now it won't recognize my ipod. Trying to avoid the suggested "fix" of uninstall/installing itunes all over again.

I just installed the newest itunes update. An error message says it did not install the software that communicates with the ipod correctly. It suggests re-installing itunes. Can I avoid that hassle?

Ok, thanks that helps. I don't have an external hard drive though. What about backing up through 'the cloud'? I'm just wondering since my husband syncs his iPod to the PC through iTunes and he's worried that he will lose all the songs on his iPod if the library is lost from iTunes and he tries to 'sync' it up again. I'm not exactly sure how to 'copy the entire iTunes folder' either. I kinda suck at this unless I have step by step instructions, which I haven't found yet on iTunes help or other sources.
The only way I know how to back anything up is by going back to a restore point, etc. (as stated before, we don't have an external hard drive.)
Thanks for the info.

TS1717 My itunes will not open anymore. I'm afraid if i delete it & install it all over again i will lose all my music, apps, photo, etc. when i install a new one & plug my phone in it will remove every thing on it.

I can not open my itunes. I'm afraid if I delete it and reinstall a new itunes that, when I plug my phone in it will delete everything on my phone. Then I will have lost everything music, photos, apps, etc. because I have deleted my old itune.

Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes won't affect its library. Back it up anyway.

Can not make FF my default browser...When asked I get "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of FF". When this is done, it's the same thing all over again...

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

It is probably because you are not properly closing Firefox. Restarting your system would make sure that Firefox had terminated, but you do not have to do that.
To properly close Firefox on Windows systems, use
:File > Exit or "Firefox:" button > Exit
When you get the message "Firefox is already running" it is too late, and you must force termination of Firefox through the Windows Task Manager before restarting Firefox. Windows 7 has a keyboard shortcut to save you a step "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" then on "Processes" tab, select "firefox.exe" and use the "End Process" button. More thorough would be to right-click on the "firefox.exec" and choose "End Process Tree".
You would find firefox.exe in a Mozilla folder in your program files, but y0u would not want to delete it there, you would need to use the Control Panel which you have already identified and do it from there -- but generally you would not need to do that, and there is nothing in what you have posted to indicate that you should. But if you did do that, then don't let the install start Firefox for you as you would want to use you existing desktop icon or method of starting Firefox, and should decline having Firefox install start Firefox for you. When the install starts then invoke Firefox in your normal manner. This should eliminate problems of creating a new profile rather than using your old profile.

Now I had to restart my Ipod all over again and when I want to get apps I can't because of a billing information problems. What security code do they want on my account settings information?

Now I had to restart my Ipod all over again which because of that i lost all my data. When I want to get apps I can't install them because of a billing information problems. What security code do they want on my account settings information? And how do you delete purchased apps that you install, but didn't want?

Maybe the three or four digit security code on your credit card card

or maybe the answers to your security questions. If you do not remember them:

I have a current iPhone 5 with all my apps and games at certain levels, how do I use iCloud to transfer current game levels as only a few games have transferred and other games want me to start all over again on my new iPad?

I currently have an iPhone 5 that I play games on regularly and I have just bought the iPad 4 and I want to transfer all my game progress from the iPhone to the iPad. I have turned on iCloud on both devices and backed up and while all my games transfer only some of the games maintain progress where others want me to start all over again. I pretty sure I doing something wrong... Can some help or give me idiot proof guidance on how do do this successfully. I'm generally pretty tech savvy but this has me stumped and iCloud is ment to be easy to use.

I would not be able to give you idiot proof guide, since different games are different. Some of them have icloud integrated already, but those already taken care of. Some of them use specific logins and once you log - you get your info. General recommendation is to contact support sites of those games for enabling icloud instructions or enabling of transfer. There are other purely apple ways - like sync your phone in itunes and then sync apps with ipad, but those are only one time transfer. There is another way that is not typically recommended - restoring ipad from iphone backup. It may transfer your game content, but once again sync in the future has to be done by game.
So if I were you, I would address that individually with every game provider.

So my computer broke some how and now it wont even turn on i just such without want to know if i can still have all my old songs and buying it all over again or something for please help me

so my computer broke some how and now it wont even turn on i just want to know if i can still have all my old songs and such without buying it all over again or something so please help me oh also my ipod broke so i dont have anything that has my old songs except for the itunes ppl who know all of my songs

You buy one download and one download only, it is your responsibility to backup your music.
it has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

My Nano took a trip thru the washer and dryer and I assume it is destroyed. My wife bought me a new one, but Itunes doesn't recognize it, although my computer does. How do I get pack into my music, I don't want to start all over again?

My Ipod Nano took a trip thru the washer and dryer and I assume it is destroyed.
My wife bought me a new one. It shows up on my computer (windows vista), but Itunes doesn't recognize it.
How do I get Itunes to recognize it. I spent a lot of time recording my old cassetes and don't want to start all over again. I just want to get back to where I was.

Did you already try the troubleshooting here? iPod not appearing in iTunes

TS1538 Every time I want to sync my iphone to itunes I have to uninstall and reinstall itunes on my pc. It will only ever find the phone once, then I need to go through this all over again.

Every time I want to sync my iphone to itunes I have to uninstall and reinstall itunes on my pc. It will only ever find the phone once, then I need to go through this all over again.
How can I solve this?

You'll have to do it by process of elimination. Sign into the iTunes Store through the App Store app, go to the Purchased section, and look at the list of apps purchased through your own Apple ID. Anything on your iPhone not in that list isn't yours and should be deleted. The same process would apply to content from the iTunes Store.
Or you can just restore the iPhone from your most recent backup and then redownload everything from the iTunes Store. But if you have a lot of apps or content, that obviously wlll be slow.
I updated my iphone by his ID , is it still problem?
That's probably how you got your friend's purchases. It won't be an issue for iOS, but it is an issue for those apps and content.

Bluetooth--want to start all over again

I currently have 4 bluetooth devices connected to my MacBook Pro: a headset, mouse, keyboard, and occassionally my cell phone.
I want to delete all traces of pairing of these four devices and start all over again to pair these devices to the MacBook Pro. How do I do that?
I know I can go to System Preferences > Bluetooth and delete the pairing. However, in the Bluetooth File Exchange programme, devices that used to be paired to the computer (but no longer are) are still listed.
What are the preferences file and .plist files I need to delete in order to remove all traces of old pairings?
Thanks!

Did you already try the troubleshooting here? iPod not appearing in iTunes

When I only want to close the current window to return to the previous window, the whole firefox site closes down, I end up back at my desktop & have to start all over again. How can this be fixed?

If I close a window I should be back at the previous window that I was at when I followed a link to this window. At least that's the way Internet Explorer works, which I have used for years. The only thing that prevents me from using Firefox exclusively is that it is very time consuming to have to start all over again from scratch every time I close a window. For instance, say I type "cats" into the search box. It gives me links to a list of "cats" sites. I go to a "cats" website, decide I don't like it so close the window to return to my list of sites, but instead of returning me to the list, I end up at my desktop. Then I have to start all over, just like I had not even been online. Very aggravating. I don't know how else to describe the problem, I can't believe that other people haven't had a similar complaint, unless I just have some settings wrong?

Now up to Firefox 8 and the problem persists. Cannot go to the www.turnitin.com page and login as I used to do -- Firefox does not remember my username or password.
Still works on Windows, and with other browsers... It would be great if a fix is available.

I want to upgrade, not install intunes all over again!
