If I uninstall itunes and reinstall do I lose all playlist. Error says I have to reinstall for itunes to work

If I uninstall Itunes do I lose all playlists? The erroor I'm getting says that I have to reinstall itunes for it to work?

Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall doesn't touch your content. (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times in case of disasters of any sort.)

My ipod (5th gen) wont show up in itunes and it wont let me in my ipod saying i have to connect to itunes what do i do?

So today i went to update my ipod, then it goes to this black screen the shows that i need to plug it into itunes. when i go to do so itunes doesnt pick it up and i cant get off this screen that says to plug it into itunes. i dont care if i dont get the update i just want to be able to use my ipod. by the way i cant turn it off. Help please.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT1338 Can't update my iPhoto and iMovie! Always pop up a window says "you have updates available for other accounts; To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it."

How could I update my apps with my only apple account?

I had this issue too after installing Mountain Lion (like others in the thread, I also just have one account/ID). The Spotlight fix didn't work. I ended up uninstalling iPhoto and iMovie and purchasing them from the App Store, hoping I'd be able to claim a refund later. It got rid of the update messages fine, but it's harder than I expected to find somewhere to ask for a refund. I can't enter a Taiwan number to call on the support site.
This is my first Mac - what with this and the ML battery bug, things aren't going as smoothly as I expected.

My iphone was not synced when I received it. I plugged it in to charge it, and it locked up my ipad. My itunes was not updated on my desktop, so I just updated it to itunes 10.6.3. I have restarted my computer, and nothing is changing. I can not get the iphone to move from the screen, its stuck on the itunes icon. Help please.

I am downloading the 11.0.2 as we speak. I will update in a bit.

You should turn the iPod to the activity responsible for the restroom or turn it in to the police.

Try removing and then reinstalling the Apple software using these instructions.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
The above containes a link for XP. Also. make sure you install the correct Apple software, It comes in 32 and 64 bit and you need the one that is the same as the computer OS

Hello Leanne,
Thank you for the question. I understand that you are concerned about losing your media files when uninstalling, but the media files and the application files for iTunes are stored in different locations. When uninstalling the iTunes application, your media files are not affected.
The following article provides information about where the media files are stored:

TS5376 I'm having problems with install version 11.1.4. If I uninstall and reinstall will I lose all my downloaded music?

I'm having problems with install version 11.1.4. If I uninstall and reinstall will I lose all my downloaded music?

Hi, so did I. It seems to be a huge problem with everyone. I opened a folder on desktop and called it target. I copied all my songs into that folder.
I uninstalled Itunes completely. Rebooted. Then I installed a fresh install.
I then dragged all the songs back to Itunes and it worked. I hope that helps.
I read an article the other day and apple is suppose to come out with some genius fix for this problem, it really seems to be global.
Good luck,

I just updated my pages and now it won't load. This is on my iPad. The first version which has the latest version it can have 5.1 or something like that. I am trying to open a document and am worried that if I uninstall and reinstall I will lose all my documents

I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.

I cannot install iTunes. I get a Windows Error 126 and missing msvcr80.dll. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing based on all the suggestions, but still have an issue. I've removed all the services, tried moving the dll files as suggested, but I still have no success. Spent all day on this issue. I am running windows 7.

Sorry to hear this isn't going smoothly for you. Try Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. You may have seen some of the suggestions here before but is has taken some users more than one attempt.

If my itunes is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled, will I lose all my songs? What do I need to do to keep everything?

I cannot open itunes. When I click on it a message pops up saying that itunes is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled. If I reinstall it will I lose all my songs? I have over 2,000 songs that I cannot lose! What do I need to do to fix it and keep all my songs?

Aha, a somewhat different question. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
