ITunes always can't download an update because there are errors. If I remove iTunes completely from my computer, will all my songs I dowloaded from CD's, pictures, e-books be gone?

Each time I try to download an update for iTunes, I can't because it tells me iTunes on my computer has errors and nothing I try can repair the errors. It gives me the choice to try to repair, but of course it can't repair because it always says it can't repair, the other choice is to remove iTunes from my computer. If I remove iTunes and reinstall it, will my music, pictures, e-books still be there or will it be empty?
I'm afraid to remove iTunes because I don't want to lose my data. On the other hand, I think I will have to remove and re-install to have the most up-to-date version with no errors.
Has anyone completely removed iTunes and reinstalled, and if so, was everything still there? Especially CD's I have imported, etc.?

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour and QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

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 the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases. Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

We don"t use itunes very often, but when we do there alwys seems to be a new version to down load. We just get used to the old one. Now with the new computer we wanted to download the new version and transfer our old songs. I'm missing all the old albums I purchased last year and the year befor.

You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

You cannot use other countries itunes stores.
You must be within the Country with a Valid Billing Address and Credit Card for that Country to use the iTunes Store of that Country...

I created an Apple ID on my iPhone, but I can not download any application because a message appears saying that iTunes can not login.

I created an Apple ID on my iPhone, but I can not download any application because a message appears saying that iTunes store can not login. The strange thing is that my Apple ID works perfectly when I try to access my icloud browser on my iMac and even I join this forum. I login with my ID system icloud without problems! Why can not I download applications? What relationship has between iTunes store and iCloud?

You cannot download the same Apps that you have on your iPhone. They are two seperate stores.
The store you have on your iPhone is the same for any iDevice (iPad, iPhone and iPod)
The store on your MacBook is only for Macs.

Yes, but back up the library first. Note that if you're using Mac OS X 10.5.8, you won't be able to update iTunes past 10.6.3.

HT4432 i can't download the updated version of itunes

i can't download the updated version of itunes

I may have had the same issue, maybe! I was prompted to update my iTunes. I did, like I usually do when I am prompted. Never had a problem until now. It would not complete the install. My computer froze and I had to hard boot it. That was a couple of days ago. Now when I try to run iTunes, it tells me that the file is corrupted or not installed correctly. So I go the the apple website and downloard itunes. It won't install since it says that a newer version is already installed.
Help. I can't get anything to work.
