If I uninstall itunes to reinstall, will I loose all my lists?
Uninstalling and reinstalling will normally not affect the content and settings already in your iTunes.
That said, it's wise to make a backup of any content that you've purchased from the iTunes Store or that would otherwise be difficult to replace, as well as backing up your playlists if you have extensive ones, before you reinstall, just in case something would happen to go wrong.
Regards.

my ipod is not recognized by my itunes and tells me to uninstall itunes and reinstall it. will this erase all of my music?
Hi braddyloopy,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes, your music files should not be erased or affected in any way. It is always a good idea to back up your data before making any changes to your computer, though.
If you'd like to locate your music, this article explains how to find the files:
Where are my iTunes files located?

When you reinstall iTunes, I'd recommend using the method in this article to make sure it's reinstalled completely:

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.)

Unless, you did more than just un-install. Did you physically delete anything? -

It wants me to uninstall and reinstall itunes software. If I do, will I loose all the song's on my computer that
were stored in it>?Welcome to Apple Support Communities
When you reinstall iTunes, your iTunes library won't be modified, so you won't lose any of the songs you have in it, but make a backup of your iTunes library on another folder just in case -
My new iPad will not sync with itunes. itunes is updated to latest version. Do I need to uninstall itunes and reinstall?
That could be a solution. Are you getting any error messages or error codes? Is the iPad recognized in iTunes? Does anything happen at all when you try to Sync? Can you provide more details?
You can try a very simple first step, quit iTunes, reboot your PC and restart the iPad. -

My ios update keeps getting stuck on the Restoring iPhone software stage. I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it again, but still nothing. Now I can't even use my phone as it shows the plug into iTunes screen. Please help!!!! Thanks,
A Restore first downloads a new copy of iOS to your computer. On a slow Internet connection this can take a long time. How fast is your connection? How long would you expect it to take to download 900 MB?
That's assuming nothing is interfering with the download. Some firewalls and antivirus programs will block the download or slow it down. So you should temporarily disable your security software. Security software can also block the update after the iOS download is complete. -

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, -
How to uninstall itune and reinstall it again?
how to uninstall itune and reinstall again?
Before you try un-installing iTunes you need to de-authorize the computer (otherwise, as I found out the hard way, iTunes will think that you've got 2 authorized computers on your account instead of just one). You should also make sure that you have full backups of all your media content. You can also back up the iTunes library file which contains your ratings, play counts, etc... which, depending on the size of your library, will save a bucketful of time after the re-installation.
If you've on a pc then the uninstall itself works the same way as if you were uninstalling any other software: go to Add or Remove Programs, select iTunes, click "Remove"... and wait (it'll take a while to complete). Then go to the iTunes website and download it.
After that, you can re-load your media files, and import the library, from your backups. iTunes should work just as well as it did before the re-installation.
Hope this helps! -
