ITunes Setup Assistant: What will happen?

I've recently transfered an iTunes library from an older MAc to a new iMac. Upon starting iTunes, the assistant wants to run. I've thus far simply clicked Cancel everytime it starts, but it seems this is an indication to iTunes that it has not completed, and returns every time iTunes starts.
If i let it complete, what will it do to my library and or settings? I'd like to be not bothered by it anymore but I also don't need it's help.
Advice?

Just let it run and tell it not to gather your music or do anything else.

  • Computer crashed...lost itunes...what will happen if i plug my ipod nano

    I have an ipod nano (1st series) and my computer crashed, i lost my itunes and i am worried if i plug in my ipod then all the songs on it will be deleted..What should i do?

    SSolo129,
    There's an answer to your question but first it's time for a little lecture - if it makes a difference, I don't feel any better about this than you do. ; - )
    I hope you take this unfortunate situation as an opportunity to learn a very important lesson: Back up your iTunes library as soon as you can after resolving this situation because right now you are only one glitch of your iPod away from losing your music entirely.
    Many people come to the Discussions having lost their music in just such situations and, believe me, it's not a happy time for anyone.
    If you place any importance on your playlists and the data they depend on, make sure to include the iTunes Library files in your back-up regimen as well.
    Anyways, that's the lecture. The answer to your problem should be found in Zevoneer's post .
    Good Luck! But once you have the music back on your computer, remember:
    Your music is valuable - please back it up!

  • What will happen to my itunes if i reset my computer

    i wannt to reset my laptop but how will i be able to get back all my itunes info or what will happen to it all

    Locate it in the Windows Explorer and drag it to an external drive. If you're backing up an iTunes library, organize it and deauthorize the computer first.

  • What will happen to my iTunes account if I restore my computer to its original factory settings?

    I want to restore my computer to its original factory settings but I used this computer to setup my iTunes account and have purchased/downloaded music from the iTunes store.  When I reset my computer what will happen to my account and the music I've purchased, will it be gone?  I have an iPod shuffle that my music is synced to.

    Backup the entire library with this User Tip. The same tool can be used to back up other personal data.
    Deauthorize the computer in iTunes before restoring to factory settings.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Install iTunes.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.

    Highly unlikely that it says any such thing.
    Try telling us exactly what version of iTunes is installed and what if any messages appears when trying to update it.
    What Operating System is the computer running?

  • If I have converted my purchased iTunes songs to a lower bit rate what will happen when I join iTunes match? Will they match up or will these be stored as duplicates of the same song?

    If I have converted my purchased iTunes songs to a lower bit rate what will happen when I join iTunes match? Will they match up or will these be stored as duplicates of the same song?
    I ask because I primarily use my work laptop which has limited space so I usually convert my purchases to 160k from 256k in order to save space. I want to sign up for iTunes Match but I'd like to know before I do so I can understand how I will have to set up my library.

    What I may do is start a brand new library there, copy my tracks from my work laptop using Home Share and then the script to get things in sync before starting over again there too.
    Why create a new library? Just add the tracks from the laptop to the existing library on the Mac.

    I was just hoping to hear definitively whether or not there was some sort of intelligence built into iTunes Match that would match these up...
    How do you mean? If you down-convert purchased tracks you've fundamentally changed the files so iTunes can no longer recoginize them as "purchased." And, indeed, they no longer are since they are brand new files. Of course these new files will only be "matched" or "uploaded."

  • What will happen to my purchased movies/TV shows if iTunes removed them from the store?

    I'm honestly sorry to bother you. I tried to google this and cloudn't find a good answer.
    What will happen to my purchased movies/TV shows (that I haven't downloaded on my devices) if iTunes removed them from the store? Will I still be able to watch/download them from iCloud?
    I'm trying to buy all my favourite movies and TV shows without downloading them, to keep them in iCloud that I can access from all my devices whenever I want, but I'm scared that iTunes will remove them from my iCloud if something happens to the contract between them and the production company. Should I worry about that?
    Thank you for taking the time to read this. I appreciate it.
    Best,
    Faisal

    Thank you for taking the time to explain this.
    But the thing is, I don't want to download ANYTHING because I don't have storage. That's why I want to buy them and watch them through iCloud (on my Mac iTunes) without downloading.
    I know that it's safer to download them. But does "safer" mean that iTunes might not let me access my purchases through iCloud?

  • What will happen to the organization of library if I removed the songs from windows explorer? Will iTunes automatically updated without all the deleted songs, or it will indicate 'missing location'? Any fast ways to clear this 'missing location' songs?

    What will happen to the organization of library if I removed the songs from windows explorer?
    Background: I found it easier to identify duplicated songs in windows explorer as the songs will be renamed .... 1.mp3, thus enabling me to remove the duplicated songs; unlike in iTunes where I know the trick of showing duplicate songs, but you don't know which one is the one with 1 at the end of the file name.
    Will iTunes automatically update the library without all the deleted songs, or will it indicate 'missing location' songs? Any fast ways to clear this 'missing location' songs by highlighting them all and delete all at one go?
    Thanks.

    One way is to use iTunes Folder Watch with its option to check for dead tracks on start up.
    Another option is with a set of Lost & Found playlists.
    Lost & Found
    Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist. You can delete them all with a Ctrl-A to select them and Shift-Delete to remove them.
    You can then delete the Lost & Found playlists.

  • If i download itunes 11 what will happen to my current itunes?

    I just got an Ipad and am being told that ITunes 10 is not compatible. It wont allow me to upgrade ITunes, and says I must download newer version. If I download the newer version what will happen to my current ITunes? Will the music files be automatically transfered?

    Possibly nothing
    Make a backup before upgrading.

    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If under warranty, as you say (the warranty is transferable) and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost.

  • Uninstalled then re-installed iTunes... What will happen to my synced iPod?

    My computer had a virus and had to be totally re-done, and in the process it removed iTunes and some of my music files.
    My iPod was synced to one of the playlists on iTunes.
    If I reinstall iTunes, then connect my iPod to the computer, what will happen?
    Will it try to sync or not?
    If it does, how do I prevent it from doing that?
    And if it doesn't, will it be possible to edit the songs on it?

    If you lost your itunes library file (itunes library.itl in your itunes folder) when you reinstall itunes you'll probably need to reimport all your music and recreate your playlists; it will be like you just installed itunes for the first time. When you first connect your ipod itunes will ask you first if you want to sync that ipod, so you could always say 'no' and set it up to sync later.
    I think when you try to sync your ipod itunes will try to remove the music files that are currently on your ipod that aren't in the itunes library - I think it will ask first and there might be an option to not delete those songs - sorry I can't remember right now. It might just delete them without asking. If you really want to avoid this there is an option to manually manage the music on your ipod but it's definitely more time-consuming.
    If you lost music files from your computer that are still on your ipod, you can try this program. I had a friend who got an old ipod from his brother and used this to copy the songs onto his computer - it will only do a certain number of songs, so only do the ones that you might have lost. If you want to try this you should do it before you reinstall itunes, because when you connect the ipod itunes will automatically come up if it's installed on the computer.

  • HT201303 what will happen to my apple id after 5 time using it on iTunes on PC?

    I have installted windows and formatted the drive ( disk c ) 4 times and my apple ID in the PC when I authorized it said you authorize 5 out of 5 times. I never used  it on another computer but now what should i do? I did not know that I shoud deauthorize it befor formatting. so what will happen to my apple ID. please help me and give me more shots or find me a solution.thanks a lot.

    If you've reached five authorizations for that account, there will be a button in your iTunes Store account information that will allow you to deauthorize all systems associated with that account. Log into your Store account and you should see it. You can then reauthorize the computer(s) you're using now.
    For the future, it's best to deauthorize your system before reformatting the drive and reinstalling. That will help prevent a single computer from using up multiple authorizations.
    Regards.

  • One itunes account, two ipads (no cloud). What will happen when I sync the new ipdad the first time?

    My original iPAD is full of pictures, music, books and apps and was recently synced (iOS7) to my PC.
    Just bought a new iPAD (Mini), and not sure what will happen if I sync it to my PC. Will the failry empty Mini wipe out all my content on the PC? or can I just select what from my PC I wat to sync to this new iPAD?

    No, syncing an additional iDevice to a computer will have no affect on the original.
    Syncing is per device.
    Connect the new device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
