I would like to completely remove itunes from my windows 7 computer. How do I do it so that when I reinstall itunes, it will be like the first time it was installed?

Hello.
I am having an issue with iTunes seeing my music on my server because when I directed iTunes to the location of my music folder it installed an iTumes folder and doubled up size of the music in the folder causing an issue with the amount of space left on the HDD. I was unaware that iTunes did this and would like to start all over again but have the iTunes folder on a different HDD from the HDD with the music on it.
Am I asking for something that is not able to be accomplished or is there a way to do this?
I am unable to keep the music on my laptop because the HDD is setup in a triple boot(XP, Vista, Win7) and each partition has less than 50GB of space left in it and I have alot more music than I have space.
I have readjusted the files on my server as I used to share some of my documents on the HDD where the music was located but there still is an issue with space once iTunes doubles up the files. I have a HDD attached to the server specifically for iTunes once I get this issue solved with more than enough space.
I would like to get this issue solved so that I can install iTunes on my identity on my wife's computer and want to be able to direct iTunes to the locations of files and folders without any conflicts.

  • I got a MacBook Pro for the first time and just install iTunes.... how to I get my purchased songs from my Windows 7 to my new MacBook Pro

    I got a MacBook Pro for the first time and just install iTunes.... how to I get my purchased songs from my Windows 7 to my new MacBook Pro..... please try to make it easier for me since im new to the Mac OS

    1) Copy all music files to a thumb drive / external hard drive.
    2) Open iTunes on your MacBook Pro (congrats!)
    3) Under the File Menu, select "Add to Library."  Navigate to the folder with your music in it and click "Open."  Bam!  Music.

  • Hard drive on my mac died, installed new hard drive.  When I try to sync my phone for the first time, will the computer wipe all the songs, photos, ibooks from my phone?

    hard drive on my mac died, installed new hard drive.  When I try to sync my phone for the first time, will the computer wipe all the songs, photos, ibooks from my phone?

    Yes because that information is not located on the hard-drive of your new mac! If it is purchased content from the store, than this issue isn't as bad as it looks!
    Here is a link explaining how to get your previously purchased content back:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    You also want to authorize your Apple ID account on the computer by following these instructions as well:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1730
    Basically this link explains to go to the top left corner of your screen where you will see file, edit, view etc! Click on Store in that section and click on authorize this computer, also you want to make sure that the computer will not automatically sync by going to iTunes in the top left corner, just to the right of the apple symbol if iTunes is selected, and go to prefrences, and here you will see back up! Right under the back-ups has an option explaining to prevent devices from automatically syncing which is good cause you may be able to transfer your purchases from there which will put your content into the computer, and if that happens than we don't lose anything
    Hopefully I was of some help:)

    Kindly inform any email id or toll free number to contact apple for your below answer, Mr.King_Penguin
    About receiving my credit card being debited for Free App Store Application downloads,
    It should be within a few days, but it might vary a bit by bank/provider :
    I am in India, if the bank don't refunds , what to do?
    Rajagopal.pngr :-  It is only a holding charge, it is not a permanent charge. If it isn't refunded within a few days or so (and it quite possibly won't be over a weekend) then you can query the charge with Apple.

  • How do I completely remove Azure from my Windows Essentials 2012 Server?

    What is the procedure for completely removing Azure from my server?
    The trial was unsuccessful and response from Microsoft Azure support to my emails non-existent.
    But I still get occasional alerts telling me an Azure backup has failed even though I have stopped the schedule. 
    I would just like to clean it from my system.
    Any advice please?

    Hi,
    Do you mean you would like to remove Azure Backup Agent?
    If so you can remove it in Control Panel:
    Press the Windows logo key + Q to open the Apps menu, and then click Control Panel.
    Under the Programs item, click Uninstall a program.
    In Uninstall or change a program, click Azure Backup Agent.

  • I got a new laptop and downloaded iTunes, when I put new music on it for the first time, my entire music library disappeared, leaving me with only newly downloaded music in my library. My iPod still has all my old music.

    Recently, I bought a new laptop (a Lenovo), so I downloaded iTunes to it. When I bought new music from iTunes for the first time on the new computer, I went to my music library and there was no music, except for the new songs I had just bought. I have no idea what happened, I've had hundreds of songs I've bought from iTunes or downloaded from bought CDs over the years, which are all still on my iPod (nano, from 2008), and suddenly they just didn't seem to exist. I have yet to access the iTunes account on my previous laptop to see if my music is still there, but I would assume yes. When I went to sync my iPod to my iTunes to at least get the new songs to the iPod (so that my complete library can be on at least one device), I realized that in order to sync my iPod to my iTunes, I would be deleting all my old music and replacing it with the new. So now, I only have a few new songs on my laptop's iTunes, and only my old songs on my iPod. In both cases I paid for all the music, so I don't want to just delete any of it. Is there any way to fix this?

    Also-I tried to use my backup hard drive, but I wasn't able to drag/transfer/send/move any of my muic files onto my iTouch when the iTouch was connected to my computer.  I can't figure out why it won't let me do that. 
    The only thing I can see when I open my iTouch on my computer is my file with photos.  I can't see videos, music, or anything else.  What's going on?

  • HT3702 Trying to retrieve money back to my account from a app that said it my swipe didn't go through the first time so i tried it again the second time and now im getting billed twice for that app call BADOO!

    I wanted to know about getting charged on my account of 12.80 9/14/2012 Badoo app. When purchasing the app i purchased it twice on accident due to the fact the first time i did it the app didn't allow me to saying it was some type of error. BUT i got charged twice even though i didn't allow me to purchase the app the first time around. It showed up on my bill as being charged twice then later credited the 12.80 back to my account for the time it didn't go through. I recently been charged for that app like earlier started 9/14/12. I do not want no month to month renewal or contract with Badoo. All i want is my 12.80 credited back to my account. 
    Thank you,

  • So I have an I Pad that will not charge. This is the second time that this situation has occurred the first time it was covered under warranty (But not this time). So they offered me a new old one for $250.00 and 90 day warranty. Seems like the life if th

    Any thoughts about my second go around with an I pad that will not charge. This is second go around and I'm wondering if I should repalce or opt out and go different route ???? Can not imagin that Apple could give the type of support  I'm recieving and continue?? The first one was under warranty not so lucky this time.

    Go to the Apple Store and try a different charger & cable.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • I've recently updated IOS 7, but it asks me that updates is available, why its not updated in the first time, and also it aked me to be connected to itunes

    I’ve updated the IOS7 from the iPhone, and after 3 hours, it asks to connect it to iTunes. after i connect it to iTunes it asks me that require update, then i agreed to update it runs for another 3 hours, and then a message shoed as "this iPhone needs to be restored, then i restore it. i lost all application and data. after two days i got a message that update is available of IOS7, which means my updates were useless. please advise on the way of updates, and do i will lose my data, and how i can recover?

  • I lost my files from creative cloud today, any ideas? (this was the first time i was using CC cloud)

    is there any ways to recover them? they were three illustrator files.

    Hi,
    apologies for the delay in responding.
    Can you give me some more information that may help us resolve this issue for you?
    Can you tell me the exact steps you took (moved files from which location to which new location - was this all within the Creative Cloud Files folder?)
    The name of the files?
    And can you send me your coresync.log file from the location below?
    Coresync.log file location -
    Win - C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CoreSync
    Mac - /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CoreSync/CoreSync-yyyy-mm-dd.log
    (On Mac, you need to use the Go To Folder option from the Go option in Finder (menu at the top).  Then in the pop up enter:
    /users/username/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CoreSync/
    Then select go, this will take you to the folder containing the .log files.)
    Please email this to me directly on [email protected]

  • HT3819 I have Yamaha a/v receiver connected to network but it does not pickup my itunes from my Mac computer.  My os is snow leopard.

    I have a Yamaha RX-A2010 A/V receiver which is connected to internt but it does not receive my itunes from my Mac computer.

    Well, I see a few things that can be in the way:
    1. MAC address filtering is really not a security measure since the MAC addresses are sent in the clear (unencrypted) and many devices can have their MAC addresses changed easily with software.  I'd recommend losing the MAC filtering and just use WPA2 and be even more secure than you are currently.
    2. If you disabled the firewalls during the install, that may have been a bad thing.  The installer is supposed to create ports through the firewalls during install, so if they are disabled and later enabled, the ports are not there.
    3. Does your printer show up if you type its IP into a browser?
