If I remove itunes and its drivers from my computer, as recommended by someone at the Apple store for a problem I'm having, I know my music will come back, but will my playlists still be there as they are now?
If I remove itunes and its drivers from my computer, as recommended by someone at the Apple store for a problem I'm having, I know my music will come back, but will my playlists still be there as they are now? I forgot to ask.
For 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 the 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.

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've 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".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.) -
Despite my best efforts, I am unable to remove iTunes 11.1.4 from my PC, this being made necessary because the original installation had a flaw and did not load properly. Effor to use the control panel, deleting dll. files, etc. all failed. And, of course, on startup, a window opens with the error and tells me find QTMovie.dll and delete it because this may be the source of the hangup. Also, in trying to delete iTunes, I get the additional message that I must get approval from the System Administrator to take this action. I am the System Administrator.
Any ideas would be welcomed.
Thank you.

Make sure you have the Current Version of iTunes Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download

You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4.
After you have Recovered your Device...
Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most recent Backup...

Hi guys, finally I made it to the apple family by buying an Air from a guy I knew... But I cannot change the ID in the apple store for updates... I managed to change it in Itunes, but when I want to download the updates it would tell me that I should log in with the other account...
Please advise...
Thank you!!!The OS and the preinstalled iLife apps are permanently assigned to the Apple ID of the original owner. You need to ask the original owner to call Apple Care and request that the Mac be released from his Apple ID.
The only secure way to use a second hand Mac is to erase the HDD and install a fresh version of OS X.
The only version of OS X that the original owner can pass to you is the version of OS X that came preinstalled on the Mac. The original owner cannot legally pass to you any apps that he bought in the MAS. -

Can I add my own art work to my albums in iTunes and/or share them with the Apple Store for others to download?
Thanks Brij011
I thought that there was a way to do this. However, it would be neat to be able to upload correct Art Work for album covers so that other could share instead of having to scan / take picture and then import. I guess Apple would be inodated with incorrect pictures if we could upload to them.
Oh well... thanks again ! -

It sounds to me that you are migrating from a PC computer to a Mac.
To the extent that you are using Microsoft Office on your PC, you should just purchase Microsoft Office 2011 for your Mac. All of your Word, Excel and PowerPoint files should open easily in Office 2011. Your contact/mail program, Outlook, is now also supported in Office 2011, but I personally have no experience in cross-platform data transfer for Outlook. Somewith with cross-platform Outlook experience, please jump in! -
My computer had to be restored at the apple store. When they did it my Microsoft word, powerpoint, and excel were all deleted! How can I get them back? Who do I talk to, Apple or Microsoft?
you are responsible for reinstalling any apps. It is not Apples responsibility as outline the the service agreement. Do you have the product key?

Hi, Have updated iphone from 4.3 and had to do a restore which has now rendered my phone useless as it say the sim is not valid. I am in Colombia and this is very frustrating as I cannot just pop to the apple store here. Please Help...
Sounds like you have a phone that was hacked to unlock it. Updating has re-locked it to the original carrier. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Contact them.

I live in the US and want to buy a MacBook Air with norwegian keyboard in the Apple Store. Is that possible?
In earlier years you can go th an Apple Store, buy a Macbook Pro and ask for a replacement to a other type of keyboard. I do this 2-3 times in the last years for german keyboards. If you done this on the same day you bought the macbook, the replacement happened without charge anything. It was a great service.
Yesterday i go back to the same store like before and both - the sales representative and the guys an the GeniusBar told me - that this is not offered by Apple anymore. Because the US Apple Online Store do not offer other Keyboards the US-based keyboards and the German Apple Online Store do not deliver to other countries the final conglusion from the Apple Stuff was:
Flight to germany, but it over their.
I see here in the Support community a lot of questions about norwegian, german and other kind of keyboards they want to buy in the US. Their is obviously a need for this. And from the logistic standpoint, it should be easy for Apple to offer that in the Online Stores itself.
For me the conglusaion is: I stay with my old Macbook Pro and hope i need no replacement within the next years. To order it in germany, ship it to a friend, pay taxes twice (in germany and vur customers) plus shipment, make it to expensive (bottonline: 600-800$ more than buy it in the US) make no sense to me. -
I needed to restore my phone to an earlier restore point because my notes were deleted after I restored I recieved this message
"We’re sorry, the device you connected may be damaged and cannot be activated for service. We recommend you visit your nearest Apple Store for more information. To find your nearest Apple Store, click here."
I need to get phone running asap abd do not want to go to Apple to talk with Genius.That message will occur when you put in a NON-AT&T sim
just get the sim out and try again -
Today my iPhone was in my back pocket and I sat on the floor and the back cracked and I was wondering if I could get it fixed at the apple store.
Replacement of the back cover is $29 at the Apple store.

The share button disappeared from my Facebook add-on just before I upgraded to Firefox 5.0. I thought that maybe by upgrading and reinstalling the add-on it might come back, but it didn't. All the other FB buttons are there, near as I can tell. Any ideas? I'm still using XP3.

I have an iMac 8.1, OSX 10.6.8, Boot Camp 3.2 running Windows XP. My original keyboard (MB110LL/A) was damaged by a water spill. I ordered a new one from the Apple Store. They sent me MB110LL/B, function keys need updated drivers (Boot Camp 3.3) which will only install if Windows 7 is installed. I have a large amount of older software that runs under XP but not Windows 7. The Apple support team basically said "too bad". If they replace a keboard model with a new model, they should at least make it backwards compatable or provide a Boot Camp update that will allow this model to work on older iMacs. Reloading Bootcamp 3.3 several times has no effect because it does not detect Windows 7. Any Ideas or help would be appreciated.
It is free. It is beta. It works well - I use it on mine and two PCs as well...
MS Security Essentials will no longer install due to compatibiliity issues - that is the idea of a beta - and the RC could be out in June.
Windows 7 doesn't work great on any Mac, or Apple drivers, fan cvontrol to manage heat, and other issues.
Put 8 in and get to know it, then when the RC comes out you'll be ready
