ITunes update dumped library; now re-download of IOS update is going to take even longer?

To put this in a better perpective, I thought I had updated iTunes so I tried to install the new IOS update for iPad earlier (it only took about an hour to download) but it kept giving me an error saying I needed to update itunes in order to install... So, since I thought I already had it installed I uninstalled iTunes (since that's worked for me before) and tried installing it again, but that dumped my library (not a big deal since it's pretty much all on my computer)
The only problem is when I plugged my iPad back in to update again it started re-downloading the IOS file that I already downloaded earlier with hours to go. Do I really have to wait for it again, or is the file I already downloaded still there? (It's okay if it's not, or there's no way to use it... I can wait for the download, I'd just rather not find out I don't have to do this twice)

just like to correct: im on iOS 4.3.1
also additional info:
- secondly i have restarted my phone and restarted itunes many times & i have the latest version of itunes
- restarted everything again. i synced my phone for the fun of syncing hoping that might help although i didnt have anything to sync but anyway now its reduced the time & said "8hours remaining" but in the space of 10minutes went up to "11hours remaining" seriously? please help .
thanks

Hi Gabriel,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are receiving errors in Windows after updating iTunes, I recommend completely removing and reinstalling the software using the instructions in this article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
When reinstalling iTunes (step 3 in the article above), be sure that you are logged in to your computer as an Administrator:
Make sure you have an administrator account.
To install iTunes or QuickTime, you need to log in as an administrator on the computer. If you're not sure you have an administrator account, you may find this Microsoft article helpful: Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator?You can refer to the Help documentation from Microsoft, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for more information.

Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes. At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.

I tried to download the ios updates and now my phone will not work. I receive a screen that instruct me to connect to itunes. When I connect to itunes, i am told that i must restore factory settings. When i attempt to restore factory settings, i receive an error message that an unknown error has occured (3194)

There's only one thing you can do: make an appointment with Apple genius at the Apple retail store for a out of warranty replacement.

I have to restore my phone from back up but in order to do it i had to update my software. now that my software is updated there isnt enough room on the phone to back up. is there a way to only restore certain things from the backup like contacts?

Because it says it's incompatible when it can't be, I got hope. I get error messages all the time with my iPod and iPhone that it cannot sync and that 'this device is not capapble of connecting to iTunes' stuff. I literally forget that happened, plug it in again and it works, I later realize that iTunes made a mistake, they do that.

Accidentally pressed "Diasgree" to update terms & conditions, now cannot find the io7 update. It's still on version 6.x and says software phone is up-to-date.

You need to update iTunes to version 10.7. http://www.apple.com/itunes
You also need to update you profile. It says you have an iPhone 3G with iOS 6.0.1. That is not physically possible.

Update: An Apple rep called me today to update the status of my return. I was told that the replacements for the BLACK iPad 2's was still another 3 weeks out (at least) so they offered me a brand new WHITE 16GB iPad 2. I could have that or continue waiting. I opted to go ahead and accept the offer of a new white one. Worst case scenario if I don't like the white one I have buddy that just bought a 16GB black one that he would be willing to swap it.

After updating my IOS TO 8.1 (12B411) on 10/23/14, I went to update my blood sugar level in the IHealth app. And now after the new IOS update I'm unable to find the blood glucose option in the IHealth app. Did Apple remove it or just mess up AGAIN?

Apple removed blood glucose until further notice. The reason behind this is that it gave a distorted picture in countries where the medical world used other measuring units. I suspect it will be available again in a future update.

Your phone was jailbroken. You can't get help here.
In VERY RARE circumstances, this may indicate a hardware failure.

Hi ..
Try a reset.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
