IPhone 4 reset. Can I uninstall iTunes and reinstall and still get to the backup?

Forgot iPhone4 passcode. Apple store reset back to factory settings. Attempting to sync to iTunes and am told version 10.5 is needed. Unfortunately, hard drive is low on space and cannot install update. Can I unstall iTunes and reinstall and still get backup for my phone which includes all my configuration?

Thank you for the info regarding being unable to uninstall TM without reinstalling OSX - I suspected as much.
With regard to TM not supporting backing up to a NAS unless it is Time Capsule, someone should tell WD because an entire section of their user manual, and some standard WD MBL settings, are all about how to back up to a WD MBL using TM. See http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/UM/ENG/4779-705058.pdf#page44
I just couldn't get it to work...

Take a look at iTunes for Windows: "Error 7" message when opening iTunes. Perhaps your .NET Framework needs a repair.
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 page in case one of them applies.

How can I uninstall iTunes 12.0 and re-install 11.4?

Hi,
Can you please expand on your issue? As far as I can see all the previous functions of 11 are in 12 albeit shown differently. Using get info to edit date is still possible, again it looks and feels different.

Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions
1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode

Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.

I can't uninstall iTunes to reinstall it

Hi,
I seem to be having the same problem as a lot of other people regrading this latest update from apple (itunes 11.1.4) only I cannot uninstall itunes to try reinstalling it.
I downloaded the update today and it said there was a failure. After that, I couldn't get in to itunes. I tried downloading it a installing it from the main apple site but got the same problem. I had a slightly older version of iTunes still on my PC so tried to install this. I think it was at thes point that I started getting a missing DLL file (mscvr80.dll). Though the old iTunes desktop icon is there and it is also in the program list in the uninstall panel.
After searching for a something to fix it, i used something called regfix which I think has caused more of a problem. I then started getting a runtime error saying a program had tried to fix it incorrectly (not seen that one lately though).
To be honest, I'm not sure in what order I did all the above - this has been going on quite a while now. At some point I've had the 'you are not an administrator' message as well.
Basically, I now get two-four runtime error boxes when I start my computer (r6034) and when I try to uninstall itunes it stops early on in the 'please wait while windows configures itunes' states box/panel and I get the following:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe
R6034
An application has made and attempt to load the C runtime library
incorrectly.
Please conact the applications's support team for more information.
Apologies if there is a solution somewhere else for this but although I can find the advice for uninstalling and reinstalling, it's the uninstalling I'm having trouble with (for some of the other apple programmes too, e.g. Apple Mobile Device support) and finding a solution for that.
Would really appreciate some help or pointing in the right direction of where I can find an uninstall solution so I can at least try to install the new version.
Thanks

I updated iTunes and it wiped out all my music in Windows Media Player so I tried a system restore, which will not now work. I now find that I still do not have my music and iTunes has disappeared and will not allow either uninstall or install.
I followed all the instructions above but my 'programmes' will not allow uninstall or remove.

TS5376 Uninstalling iTunes to reinstall and fix problems. How much to delete?

When I tried to update iTunes to 11.1.4 for Windows, I got the message "this copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly, please reinstall." It was working just fine before!
I followed the instructions in the Support area for uninstalling using the Control Panel. That went smoothly. But I don't know exactly how much of iTunes I have to uninstall beyond the 5 line items listed. In other words, my music files are still there, in multiple places. (I've backed them up on a thumb drive.) Do I have to delete ALL my iTunes data folders and music? Or is it just those 5 components -- then reboot and install?
Please help with more explicit instructions before I make a mistake.
Thanks in advance!

Hello genieb47
You should only remove the 4 items indicated from the remove and reinstall iTunes article below. Everything else, like your iTunes Music folder can stay where it is.

I am not able to load I Tunes.....I attempted to uograde and now am unable to start Itunes....I uninstalled it and reinstalled no luck. HELP?

Follow the below procedure if you are using a Windows based PC. I did not develop it, another forum user did, but I did insert 1 additional step in case you use a 3rd party software package to give your apple devices "Airprint" capability for your non Air Print capable printers (Such as Fingerprint).
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
Remove any 3rd party software which uses Airprint features (such as Fingerprint by Collobos)
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or by right-clicking the downloaded installer and selectingRun as Administrator.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled, but still get the same error message about profile missing or inaccessible--what do I do now?

When I opened the profiles folder there were folders missing (less folders than were shown on the help page). I tried using a restore point, but that did not work either. I don't know what else to do. :( I cannot access the manual fix steps because the browser will not open, so that is useless information.

See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-run-firefox-when-your-profile-missing-or-inacc
This is usually caused by a problem with the profiles.ini file and the profile marked as Default=1 in this file is no longer present on the hard drive.
*Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\<br>C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
*Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
*Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/
You can use one of these to make Firefox create/use a new default profile:
*Delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
*Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
*Use "Choose Folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile

Are you running Premiere Elements 10 from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
Is this a "it worked before but not now" or "it never worked before" type issue.
On the Windows side of things, application of Run As Administrator as well as the User Account with Administrative Privileges has been know
to resolve some of these issues. I am strictly an Elements Windows user. What is the Mac side of the story for Run As Administrator? At any

ITunes can't read my iPhone and now I can't uninstall iTunes. Help!

One day out of the blue I was unable to sync my iPhone 4S on iTunes. I then updated my iTunes to the latest version 11.0.1.
Error message then pops out when I opened iTunes "The software required for communitcating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repaire this for you?"
I selected "Yes" and another error message appeared "The software could not be repaired. Please reinstall iTunes if you wish to use these devices."
However, now I can't uninstall iTunes because after it uninstalls till the last 1 second, an error message kept appearing "Error getting file security: C:\Program Files\iTunes\ GetLastError:5"
I'm using Windows Vista 32-bit Operating system. And I've checked the file security for iTunes folder under Program Files and I'm the owner.
Attached below are the error messages I've been encountering. Can some kind soul advise me? Because now I can't update my songs in my iPhone and it's becoming obsolete if I can't do anything with it.
Thank you!
