Itunes after crash

MY PC crashed and has been repaired, and I need to relaod iTunes. When I download iTunes, will all of my settings (username, password, sync settings, etc.) be restored?
Also, I have a back up of my music and podcasts on a separate pc external hard drive. Can I drag and drop them back into my desktop pc, and will iTunes recognize them?
Thanks for your response.

hi bigredergib!
hmmm. the library information (playlists etc) is stored in the itunes library files. did you back up copies of those?
What are the iTunes Library files?
... it might be worth incorporating backing up those into your back-up regime. these Buegie posts are good resources on these matters:

Reopening iTunes after Crash

The latest version of iTunes I'm using (7.0.1) seems to crash an awful lot, randomly. Does anyone know a script to reopen it and start playing a playlist automatically after a crash?
Thanks in advance,
Mat

My iPhone doesn't want to restore on iTunes after crashing from updating to iOS 6.1.2

I keep getting countless errors and I need my phone back up and running asap

Well the phone was working fine just listening to music then it shut off completely and started relooping the apple logo. so I put it in DFU mode, connect it to itunes so that itunes can detect it being in recovery mode to be restored and updated. but after it was preparing for update I get errors 2001, then I would retry again and get 1600, I did recall getting 3014 when im doing the exact same thing over and over hoping it would go through with the process.

Need to restore iTunes after crash

I am running iTunes on XP Pro and had it set up nicely to sync with my iPhone. Then my computer crashed and I had to do a fresh OS install.
Now when I connect my iPhone to my PC and it startes up iTunes, I get a message saying that my iPhone usually syncs with a different computer and I think threatens to wipe my iPhone clean of apps, songs etc.
I do have a backup of my files from before the crash. Does anyone know what I need to do in order to recreate the relationship between my phone and iTunes? I'm guessing there are a few files that I can copy form the backups I made to the newly installed iTunes folders?
Thanks.

All iTunes content including 3rd party apps is stored in an iTunes named folder located in your Music folder.
If you included the iTunes named folder with your computer's backup, with iTunes quit place the iTunes named folder from your computer's backup in the same location - in your Music folder.
You will also need to re-authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.

HELP"apple application support not found when installing itunes after a hard drive crash and replace

HELP" error "apple application support not found" when downloading itunes after a hard drive crash and replacement????

Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

ITunes keeps crashing after the latest update... is it just me ?

I've just synced my iPhone 4S, in the middle of syncing my iPad 4, simultaneously downloading an HD movie to my laptop - and iTunes has crashed 3 times. It keeps saying it 'stopped working' then asks me if I want to close it. I say yes, because what else can you do if it stops. It searches for a Windows fix, then happens again. I don't think it's a big deal, but it seems suspect after doing the most recent iTunes update just yesterday on my Windows 7/64 laptop.
Is this happening to anyone else ? Maybe I need to re-run the update because of a poor install. Curious if Apple has any comment ?

Yes, sorry about that. We published an update now that should fix this. Basically your device was downloading a build meant for Android ARMv7 based devices instead of the Intel x86 version.

After the update iTunes keeps crashing and won't play any of my music and keeps restarting my phone.

Anyone else have this problem and resolved it?
Thank you!

Well, I hadn't rebooted after the 7.1.1 upgrade, but obviously I had to restart iTunes. After I rebooted my iBook iTunes worked... Maybe the 7.1.1 update should be marked with a must reboot?

How do I regain ITunes after pc crash

How do I regain iTunes after pc crash

Restore your lost data from the most recent backup you made of the PC before it crashed.

After upgrading to iOS 8.2, my iTunes store crashing after selecting 'Films'.

When I open iTunes store and select 'Films', iTunes store crashes while loading. It is working fine on Music, Search, Tones filters. I think it started happening after upgrading OS to iOS 8.2.
I am on wi-fi.

Hello Wexxwoxx,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that after you updated to iOS 8.2, while typing a message your iPhone seems to be locking itself. In this situation, there are a couple of different troubleshooting steps that I would recommend.
First, I would suggest closing the Messages application completely by using the instructions in the attached article below.
Force an app to close in iOS - Apple Support
After the Messages app is closed, I would recommend resetting your iPhone using the instructions in the next attached article. After the reset, open Messages fresh and attempt to use as you normally would.
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Have a great day,
Joe

After latest update itunes match crashed with empy library

After being a little late i finally updated itunes to the latest version (on windows 8.1), now itunes keeps crashing when it connects to itunes match (from an empty library all music is in cloud)
Tried a lot of solutions here like:
hold shift and create new library
delete all itunes related files and re install
disable firewall and anti virus
I cant look for corrupted files, since there arent any songs on this laptop.
Anyone has any idea what solution i might be missing? Problem starts seconds after syncing an empy library to itunes match

Have you tried System Restore to before you installed and used the app that started this?
My other suggestion would be to completely uninstall all Apple products and after a system restart delete any apple related folders in your Program Files directory. Then re-download and install.
I would try System Restore first - that might be your best and easiest bet. But keep in mind that System Restore will delete any programs you installed after the restore date you pick.

? How to recover APPS from iTunes after system crash

I think we need a sticky for this.
Is there a tutorial or instructions to recover ALL your iPhone/iPod Touch apps from your PC or iTunes after a system crash and iTunes is no longer accessible even after uninstall and reinstallation? I heard one can call Apple Support and have them do a one time reset but for people like me who have more than one iTunes account that may be a problem since it would require several accounts.

Ok....i have some good news, I believe. Using King_Penguin's link and Apple's KB seems to have worked. I tried this under another windows profile on the same machine. The TRICK is to hold down CTRL W when opening up iTunes. This will prompt you to tell iTunes where the library is. The key is to copy everything from your My MUSIC\ITUNES folder. More info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
What is throwing me off is there is another option to, "Create LIBRARY". Not sure how that works. But the instructions are here: When you need to restore your backed up iTunes Library from your external hard drive to your computer, follow these steps:
1.Quit iTunes.
2.Locate your external hard drive.
Mac: On the Desktop or Finder sidebar.
Windows: In My Computer
3.Drag the iTunes folder (backed up earlier) from your external hard drive to whatever location you desire on your internal hard drive. It is recommended that you choose the default location for the iTunes folder, which is:
Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
Windows Vista or Windows 7: \Users\username\My Music\

ITunes store crashes after downloading a Starbucks video..

I have never had trouble downloading a song from the Pick of the Week cards at Starbucks, but I also have somewhat "successfully' downloaded 4 videos. iTunes then crashes after a successful download, but it doesn't show up in the library, and when I go back to re-download it, of course it says his account has already downloaded the item. I have 10.4.11, and iTunes 7.6.2
What could be happening?

I've had this problem for a few months now -- any video podcast over a few hundred MBs will download completely, then iTunes hangs. When I re-open, the file hasn't been added. Even if I can find the data in the temp directory (~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Downloads/), it's corrupt (usually something about an invalid public movie atom.
It's getting really frustrating to keep re-downloading the same 1 gb file all day.
