My itunes library has been compromised. How do I unistall itunes and then reinstall intunes from na back-up copy?
We could not locate some files on iTunes. We asked a friend to help and now almost all of our library is gone, apps, books, downloaded songs, etc. The only items in our library are purchased songs. We don't even have an updated version of iTunes.

My iTunes library has been replaced with my husband's iTunes library on our iMac. How do I get my iTunes library from my iPhone back onto my iTunes library on the iMac? Help!!!
Well, this is a problem, because the only material you can transfer from your iPhone (using only Apple software) is material you purchased in the iTunes Store.
To do that, plug your iPhone into iTunes, then choose File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from iTunes' menu.
Generally speaking, you should restore your iTunes library from your computer's backup. -
My entire iTunes library has been duplicated. Is there any command that will let me delete all duplicates at once, rather than each individual song?
In particular:
Once you have used the Show Exact Duplicates feature* you can set about deleting all but one copy of each duplicate file. If all the duplicates have recently been added into your library then you could sort the list on the date added column, select a range of tracks with SHIFT-click and delete all the recent entries.
* On a Mac hold down Option, then click File > Show Exact Duplicates.

My iTunes library has been erased from my macbook
my itunes library has disappeared on macbook - still available on iPad and iPhone. How do I get it back on the Macbook please?
(I realize this post is very old, but for anyone who comes looking for a solution, I hope this helps!)
I haven't done it in a while, but I believe it can be accomplished by the following (this is for a Windows computer...I don't know about on a mac):
1. Make sure you can see hidden files and folders on your computer. (look for "Folder Options" in your control panel)
2. Connect your iPod (but don't let it sync!)
3. Navigate to your iPod through My Computer.
4. Find and then copy all of the folders containing music to your computer. Then copy/move them to Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Automatically Add to iTunes, or click File>Add Folder to Library in iTunes, and select the appropriate folder(s). -
I have had a day of it. wanted to join my new pc computer to my itune account. one problem to many devices on my account and two are ones that got broken and couldn't be deauthrise. sooo i deauthrised all computers. my mac air was sitting beside me so i thought i will authrise it again, was that a mistake as my computer became very slow when i went into itunes. it froze and not in the spinning disc way, in the was doing nothing way. held power button in, after waiting 10 mins and it went to gray screen with itune boxs saying "saving itunes library". its been doing this over 30 mins now and will not shut down or anything esle because when i try power button again it says i have not logged out of itune and should do this before it can shut down. not happy!!!! this is after 2 hours prior apple tried very hard sale to get me to buy there tech support for £100. I have never had a problem before, doesn't that seem strange?

I tried to run the disk utility and it wouldn't run properly
Exactly what did you do to run Disk Utility and exactly what happened up to the freeze?
I called some place to ask for advice and they said it could be my logic board???
That's an easy answer to give but not necessarily the correct one.
If you have the system restore disc that came with your Mac, boot with that disc in the Mac while holding down the "D" key. That will invoke hardware diagnostics. Run those several times to investigate the possibility that your Mac has a hardware flaw. -
My old iTunes library has been replaced by a new library, I didn't download a new version or authorize it. I have lost all my music, is there any way of retrieving my old library.
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991 -

My iTunes account has been disabled how do i enable it
my itunes account has been diabled and i need hel enabling it?
It does not re-enable the account. I've emailed support but that will take 48 hours. Is there no way to re-enable it without contacting support? I've never had an account that wouldn't send me an email so I could just fix it in a matter of minutes. Oh yeah...this is Apple/ATT.

Went back to PS suite icon and uninstalled all. I have been unable to figure out how to
reinstall this program. The only thing that I could find was a very grey icon with an arrow that said "finder".
Went to the finder icon, searched with NO SUCCESS. Please help. I have read several blogs and many people seem to be having
this problem. Note. I recently upgraded to Yosemite. jude obscure. Thank youThanks for reply. Will search for the answer on forum . Just found the forum website about 2 days ago.
Adobe help contacted me. Offered an $1,800. upgrade to PS 6. Not a good choice. Was very happy
with PS 5 design suite. Will try to figure out how to download PS updates and manually apply them.
Adobe person walked me thru a download process for PS 5....last night.
After 2:30 am I installed PS 5 design suite. I now have a PS 5 D.S. icon with a red disc on desktop..
but am unable to install it. Will continue to search for way to apply it. thanks again. -

My home computer which has my iTunes library on it how can I transfer all of my music from my iPhone to my new computer
The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintan a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back. -
My itunes library has been erased
When I connected my i-Pod to my laptop, it said there was a problem with this disc and suggested I repair it. Now EVERYTHING has been deleted from my library and i-Pod! How can I restore it?
The error was with the iPod, and when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING. It's as if I have just purchased a new iPod, and it's empty--no music, no playlists, nothing.
However, there has been a new development. When playing around the other night, I found the music I had purchased, and a few other ones. However I am unable to sync. I gave up and decided to just start fresh and copy all of my music from my portable HD into my iTunes library and when I started to sync it said this iPod is already synced (or something like that) to another library; do you want to erase and sync to this library. I was desperate and said "yes", but no realize I probably shouldn't have.
I just wish there was somewhere I could go and have someone fix this for me! I don't have a mac so probably couldn't go to an Apple store, but there has to be somewhere, no??
