ITunes Reinstall question

I have a problem. My old iPod died, and I got a new one, but I don't want to lose all the songs on my iTunes. My iTunes won't recognize the new iPod. Will reinstalling iTunes help? Will reinstalling iTunes cause me to lose my data?

You can uninstall and reinstall all you want and your music will stay the same... completely safe to reinstall, your music files will not be affected.

ITunes reinstall question on a new HDD.

Ok, this may be a bit different...I have not located an answer on the boards to solve this.
I installed a new HDD due to several persistent issues even after restoring from Time Machine more than once. I figured the issue was imbedded in my OS that lived in Time Machine. Seems correct, after install of new HDD and several wipes and reinstalls, I backed up iTunes and iPhoto and docs...on a new external HDD. I reinstalled OS imported photos, so far so good. How the heck do I only reinstall iTunes to include my iPhone data? I can copy/paste all the songs into the "new" iTunes but the iPhone is not recognized. Any ideas out there?

Hi Carollmt,
I love sharing playlists with people too. The instructions for syncing an iPod can be found at the following link:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
If is the first time you are syncing your husband's iPod with your computer, it will remove his music currently on his iPod and replace it with the music you are trying to sync. If you don't want to remove the music currently on your husband's iPod, you can transfer your music to his iTunes library using Home Sharing. Expand the Home Sharing section in the following article for steps to setup Home Sharing and use it to transfer music:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

If you have a rescue email address on your account (an alternate email address is different) then you can use that to reset them : If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
When they've been reset, and if you don't already have a rescue email address, you can then add one for potential future use : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses
Or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID

Forgot my iTunes security questions?

So I've had this iTunes account for 2 years, but I recently authorized a new computer (which is the only computer authorized for my account). So I go to make a purchase (using an iTunes gift card) and it asks me to verify my identity by answering my security questions. Well guess what? I was an idiot and never wrote my answers down (or I did and just lost them). So how do I change my iTunes security questions?

Windows reformatted; iTunes reinstall (have backup)

hi all,
I just reformatted windows xp due to a virus; I had previously kept a backup of my entire iTunes directory.
Now that I have everything set up, and iTunes reinstalled (and now it's pointing to a different base directory, and have copied the files to that directory), I'm not seeing anything in iTunes. Is there an FAQ article about how to restore the entire iTunes directory?
thanks much,
Cosmin
