If I uninstall & reinstall will I lose all my data?

I'm tired of this crap of not being able to import my cds with getting the song info, so want to try a reinstall, but will I lose the 8 plus gigs of songs and video I have already imported and converted? Is there a way I can save them with out losing and doin a quick import of them somehow instead of having to redo every cd one by one?

No.
Just reinstall iTunes.

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,

See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. Your library should be safe, but you ought to back it up anyway.

If i uninstall windows 8.1 from my macbook pro, will i lose all the data from mac partition as well?

Depends on how you do it
If you create a partition with Boot Camp and format that partition correctly
Then install Windows your data should not be touched
If you do anything wrong or there is any mishap during the whole procedure you could lose everything
Hence the reason I suggest that you backup first

HT1212 Hi, one of my daughters friends tried to access her ipod causing it to become disabled; i do not want her to lose all her photos, she accesses my itunes account which is on ICLOUD, will she lose all her data - can this be fixed?

Hi, one of my daughters friends tried to access her ipod causing it to become disabled; i do not want her to lose all her photos, she accesses my itunes account which is on ICLOUD, will she lose all her data - can this be fixed? I do not think it has been synced with a computer before.

Disabled
If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.
Otherwise y will have to restore and thus erase the iPod
You can restore from backup
If not in backup then:
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- Maybe from the restored iPod via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos
Wondershare Dr.Fone for iOS: iPhone Data Recovery - Wondershare Official
http://www.amacsoft.com/ipod-data-recovery.html
-iPod touch Deleted Photo Recovery Tips You Should Know
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:

If i uninstall pages, will i lose all my pages documents?

Im having a problem with my pages application. So i want to uninstall it and reinstall it. If I do this, will I lose all my pages documents?

As long as you have saved the documents somewhere sensible on your Hard Drive, like in Documents you will be fine.
Back them up anyway to another location.

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.

I need to uninstall/reinstall will I lose the songs I didn't purchase through ITunes?

For some reason I am getting a message to uninstall and reinstall ITunes. Not all the songs in my library were purchased at the ITunes store. Will I lose these songs during the uninstall/reinsall process?

no your music files arnt stored in itunes so uninstalling and reinstalling wont delete them.
If anything you might have to locate the files and reopen thim in itunes to put them back in your library. If thats the case...this should help you find your music files to put them back.
Where are my iTunes files located?

Uninstall/reinstall will i lose library?

If I uninstall itunes 8 and reinstall 7 will i lose my library?

If I uninstall itunes 8 and reinstall 7 will i lose my library?
No, but the library format has changed, so if you don't have a backup, you'll need to import everything again, which erases data such as playlists and ratings.
