ITunes was on XHD so I can't uninstall and reinstall. Help?

Because of computer issues and losing a number of laptop hard drives within 2 years, I stored my iTunes on an external hard drive. I lost access to this hard drive due to a worn out proprietary cable and have not been successful in getting a new one to access by XHD again yet. Due to this, I can't uninstall iTunes from my computer now and so cannot reinstall iTunes either.
I run Windows Vista.
Is there anyway this can be remedied?
I know there was talk going around of using a Windows Cleanup Utility or something, but Windows support boards said it was discontinued because it harmed other files and aspects of your computer. So, not including that either.

Due to this, I can't uninstall iTunes from my computer now and so cannot reinstall iTunes either.
Are you getting an "Invalid drive" error message? Or is something a bit different going on?

When plugging in my iPhone to my PC, I get message "The registry settings used by Itunes drivers for importing and burning CD'd and DVD's are missing..." Can I uninstall and reinstall the iTunes app without losing all the tunes I've purchased/loaded?

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

Hi,
got it fixed! My Son had both files on his Win7 iTunes installation. Never mind he had no issues whith ths iTunes and iPhone Sync. So I checked my other Win XP PC, where I don't have this problem syncing my ipad, and surprise. Both files do NOT show up on this PC. So I renamed the iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe I found under c:\program file\iTunes and synced again my iPhone and it went through without any error. So the problem might be and unremoved iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe or the missing iTunesPhotoProcessor.dll under the iTunes install root folder and this even if I had checked that the folder was completely removed during iTunes unistall.
Please try yourselve and just rename the iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe to iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe_ under c:\program file\iTunes or get a copy of the missing iTunesPhotoProcessor.dll and cp to c:\program file\iTunes.

Iphoto wont start and deleted all of my photos. can i uninstall and reinstall iPhoto?

can i uninstall and reinstall my iphoto and will it fix the problem that i have with not being able to import and look at photos?

Of course you can uninstall and reinstall iPhoto - but it Probably will not help at all
But that is only a wild guess since no one has any idea what you have or what your problem is
Lets start with really simple basics - what version of iPhoto do you have? what recently changed or happened that might be related to this? What exactly does "won't start" mean? Why do you "think" iPhoto deleted all of your photos?
Do you have a good current backup? Note that iPhoto does not "delete" photos - users can but iPhoto does not
You sate numourour problems - please describe each and be concise without editorial comments
1 - iPhoto won't start
2 - iPhoto delete all of your photos
3 - iPhoto will not import photos
4 - iPhoto will not let you look at photos

Can i uninstall and reinstall itunes w/out losing my library?

If so how? For some reason my itunes will no longer sync with my ipod.

I think if you are just uninstalling and reinstalling the same version of itunes, and you don't already have a problem with your library, it should be fine - however, you should copy your existing library file. The actual library file is called 'iTunes Library.itl' in your itunes folder; you should copy it to another folder just in case. Also check in iTunes help for 'saving playlists,' which might be another good thing to copy and put in a different folder just in case.
My recent experience was that I went from 7.4.2.4 to 7.3.2.6 and couldn't use my library file because it had been changed by 7.4 so it wouldn't work with 7.3. So I couldn't open itunes until I deleted the library file, which meant I had to reimport all my music and lost my playlists. It's been a big bummer, but I couldn't access the itunes store at all with the newest version and everything I tried didn't work, and I wanted to download and watch my daily shows!
I don't know if this really answers your question - I think if you are getting an error message you should try to find out why, because it seems like some people are having problems even after they reinstall.

Just had to replace iPad so I need to restore from other backup. iTunes has sync error that others say require uninstall and reinstall. "iTunes was unable to load prover data from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later." If I uninstall, will I lose

Just had to replace iPad and itunes has following error. "iTunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Servies. Reconnect or try again later." I read that others suggest uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. If I do this, will I lose my old iPad's backup that I need to restore to this new one?

I've resolved the issue with iTunes constantly not responding. It's a bit embarrassing. I had a DVD in the drive that was corrupt, and once I was able to remove it - BAM - iTunes ran perfectly.
I'm still getting the Sync Services message, and my backups are still not showing in iTunes.
Getting there.... I hope!

Can I uninstall and reinstall "Pages" without losing files?

My Pages program may be, ...IS, ...corrupted. (Maybe by a disgruntled co-worker?) When I type a client's name, Pages automatically misspells it. Same with my own name, and perhaps with other words I've not yet discovered.
I suppose I should uninstall and reinstall to see if the malware is limited to Pages or if it's a system-wide problem. But I don't know how to do that. I've never uninstalled a program and do not know what might happen to various files, if anything.
I've tried fixing the problem in the automatic "spell check" function.
Ideas? Advice?
-JS

Possibly, however, before you remove it try removing the preference files from the application These can be found in Users/yourname/Library/Preferences or /Library/Preferences. Since the autocorrect uses the dictionary found in Users/yourname/Library/Spelling, you may want to see if the dictionary was corrupted as well. If it is system-wide you should see it in other locations such as Numbers or if you are using Lion you will see it in Safari as well.
If you don't see the preference files also check both /Library/Application Support, and Users/yourname/Library/Application Support.

I updated my iphone 5 through Itunes but an error occurred during installation on the phone that read -42110. Now the phone has a usb icon and itunes icon and is not recognized by itunes or my computer (windows 7). I uninstalled and reinstalled. no luck

I attempted to update my iphone 5 through itunes. Itunes backed up the phone. However, when it tried to install the updated software an error message displayed -42110. Now the iphone is unresponsive with a usb icon with an arrow pointing to an itunes icon. The computer makes a connection noise when I hook the phone to the computer but it does not appear to be recognized. It does not appear in the My Computer section. Itunes does not recognize it either. I disabled my security software. I uninstalled itunes, Bonjour, Quick time, apple updates, Aplle mobile updates ect. I reinstalled Itunes and the program still does not recognize the phone.

If you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, did you follow the steps in this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 exactly. Check and make sure. If you did, then try this support document to get the phone into the Recovery mode. It may take more than one try. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

I can't uninstall and reinstall itunes?

Hey,
For the past few months I have had several problems with Itunes.
1. I can't use the itunes store because the screen in itunes store is completely white
2. I can't install the updated version of itunes and quicktime, I get error messages
3. I can't uninstall itunes because it says itunes doesn't exist
4. I can't install itunes again from the website because it gives me error messages and shuts down
5. I can't install or unistall itunes at all from any location

You likely have a deepr problem either with Windows or malware on your system.
Sounds like you need to backup your files and do a factory restore of Windows:
Once you've done all this Windows will be extremely responsive, and iTunes likely will run with no issues at all.
Factory Restore instructions:
1: Backup all your files to cd/dvd. if possible as it's write/delete protected or a hard drive.
2: Consult your PC vendor site how to do a "factory restore". Old machines used a disk, new ones have a encrypted locked partition on the drive someplace usually called "Recovery". Before you start, make sure the computer can't connect to the Internet. This may mean turning off your router and disconnecting Ethernet cables. You need power and you need to set the screensaver & monitor NOT to activate or sleep in your Control Panel (and set again after you restored)
3: Note that your going to lose everything, that's the object. And get the machine like it was when you bought it. (All self installed programs you'll install again from fresh sources later)
The factory restored anti-virus, Flash, Java, Reader, and all old programs on it are vulnerable. These all your going to have to remove, along with the PC vendor bloatware, trial ware, games and other garbage. In your Add/Remove Programs. If you don't do this, these old programs will get online and do a update and your machine can get pawned. Why you don't want a internet connection until they are removed. You just want Windows and nothing else. Enable your Windows Firewall in Security.
4: Now get online with a wired Ethernet connection to a fast Internet service at home, because (Vista over 200 updates, 2 days) and Windows 7 (SP1 + Win Live, a few hours) is going to take some time. Windows Update is in your Control Panel/Security or Start Menu > All Programs.
Install and activate the free Microsoft Security Essentials or free Avast anti-malware the first chance you get.
When doing Win 7 SP1, if it seems to stop, there is a Windows Live window behind the update window that needs to be "ok-ed" before it continues.
Vista updates are going to be especially painful, just rinse, reboot and repeat over and over until you get them all and there is nothing more it will give. Check the Start Menu > Shutdown for a indicator that it's going to install updates and perform the restart.You must keep clicking the "check for updates" until it's really clear.
5: Once the updating pain is over, you need to do a Windows Disk Cleanup and a Defrag before adding programs. (important for speed!) This can take hours. Will make Windows considerably faster.
6: Optional (good for notebooks): You can head to Performance > Advanced Setting and tone down Windows eye candy. Set to custom and delete everything but four options, the thumbnails, font and box smoothing and the last one. (or Windows will look like basic XP)
7: Make sure you do a System Restore Point of this "pristine" and very fast Windows. If you have the ability to make System Restore Disks and Images to DVD's DO IT!! Save yourself having to do this again one day.
8: Now install your programs and plugins: Flash, Java, Firefox 4 (fastest and the best) VLC, LibreOffice. CCleaner. etc.., Recommended sites: Qualy's Browser Check/ Mozilla Browser Check.
9: If your computer is still slow, check the RAM. Windows 7 & Vista needs 2GB just for themselves. So add more to your 4GB max (or more if your on 64bit). Check Crucial.com to make sure you get the right RAM specs for your computer.
10: Do a malware scan of the external drive/cd/dvd's before transferring files, always download new versions of programs from fresh sources so they are free of lingering malware. If all possible, use a Mac or Linux machine to scan for malware as they are much safer operating systems by default. Free ClamXav for OS X, ClamWin for Windows, Clamav for Linux. Update those malware definitions before a scan.
Good Luck!

HT201413 updated last night and now ipod says to coonect to itunes which i cant because apple application support was not found. tells me to uninstall and reinstall itunes. Will i lose all my music or is it still on my ipod?

Updated ipod last night and now when turned on tells me to coonect to itunes (picture of usb cable with arrow to itunes). I can't connect to itunes on computer because apple application support can't be found. Tells me to uninstall then reinstall itunes. Will I lose all my music or is it still on my ipod?

Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall doesn't touch your content. (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times in case of disasters.)

Can I uninstall and reinstall iTunes?

Hi,
Is it possible to uninstall iTunes on Mac OS X Tiger and reinstall it, and if so, how? I made the mistake of using a third-party app to fiddle with iTunes and I think it screwed up the file count on my home disk so I want to try a reinstall of just iTunes. I vaguely remember seeing somewhere that iTunes was part of the Tiger OS and could not be uninstalled.

iTunes is not part of X 10.4 (Tiger) but it does get installed as one of the applications.
Are you wanting to reinstall the version that shipped with Tiger or will a more current one suit your needs?
There is no "uninstaller" for iTunes. You have to manually hunt it down and trash it bit by bit. Just be careful not to throw out your music in the process.
Best way would be to start with a "Find" using iTunes as the criteria. Again, do not delete your music.

Updated iTunes to newest version, and once iTunes opened, it crashes immediately. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program numerous times. Also had a hard time getting a network connection over the weekend (I knew my connection was fine)

Updated iTunes to the newest version but have been unable to use it since. Once it opens and tries to connect to the iTunes store it crashes and asks me to close the program and report the problem. In the Windows information center, it tells me to update iTunes to the newest version to fix the problem; when I do and I tell it to repair the problem it goes through the motions, but the program doesn't change, it still doesn't work. I have tried uninstalling and resinstalling the program numerous times from the weekend until now to no avail. After the update was completed, it had a difficult time making a network connection; I knew that the connection was fine, as I was on the internet and receiving e-mail at the same time.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:
