Quicktime Deleted! What happens to my library?

I was cleaning up my computer drive and I forgot that I needed QuickTime to run iTunes. Now when I upload iTunes it prompts me to reinstall it. If I do so, what happens to my entire library? I can't resave my library because without QuickTime it won't even let me access any part of iTunes.
If I simply reinstall QuickTime will this help me with my problem?
Or should I just reinstall iTunes all together, but what would happen to my iTunes library? After a while I forgot to copy the songs I downloaded into the separate My Music folder and just put 'em right into the iTunes one.
Thank you so much to all who reply!!

Reinstalling iTunes won't erase anything from the iTunes library.

Yes.
"What will happen when i now sync my iPhone and iPad with the new laptop?"
Any time you sync an iphone/ipod touch/ipad to a new computer, then the current content will be erased and replaced with content form the new computer. You need to copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

Restore your library from a recent / current backup. If you've failed to maintain a backup of data you obviously regard as valuable, see turingtest2's user tip on Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash.

HT6378 what happens to photo library photos when iphone is full

So, I want to add photos to my icloud library from another device. 159GB worth to be exact. If I use airdrop my ipad will fill up adn if I delete the photos from it it will delete them from the photo library, correct? So how do I do it. I know I can upload photos through clooud.beta but ti doesn't retain the image data (location,date)?

If I merge libraries and then back the merged libraries up onto an external drive or DVD, do I just back up the libraries themselves, or do I also back up the original files?
If you're running a Managed Library, then backing up the Library also backs up the original files.
I ask because my HDD is getting pretty full. I want to reduce the amount of stuff on it, and the iPhoto libraries are the biggest single consumer of space at the moment (Nearly 100GB).
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Regards
TD
P.s. If you're running a Managed library, then it's the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
If you're running a Referenced Library, then you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced and iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing.

When the beta is over and my iTunes cloud library is deleted, what happens to my local copy of the library?

i would REALLY hate to lose my library...........really. lots of ratings/playlists i never want to lose.

I would have thought this unlikely: but really it's no good asking about the iCloud beta here: in order to access it you've signed on as a developer and signed an NDA, and no-one on here is in a position to answer questions about it. You need to ask in the Developer forum.

What happened to my library?

I got a new computer last year and havent installed itunes on this computer until 2 months ago. Everything was fine with my library but I updated the recent version and now my library is gone. To make matters worse, the Previous iTunes Library is empty...why isnt there a Sync tab that I can just click it and have my library return??? If there is, I dont see one. Does anyone have any help they can give me? Its been a long time since Ive used iTunes, up until the last 6 months, and I havent used it for anything other than my library and seeing what the top songs are so if there are new features, I dont know what they are.
PLEASE HELP!

What happened to my library? HELP!!!!!!!

Yesterday my iTunes was working fine. Today, when I try to play a song the exclamation point pops up next to it and it wants me to locate the song on my computer. I upgraded to 7.1.1 and now every song, all 3627 of them have that icon next to them. Even the CD's that I imported over a year ago have the logo. I got a new computer running Vista Premium about two or three weeks ago, but iTunes has been running fine until today. How do I fix this? Please help me! Thanks.

A handful of people report this issue. Not enough for anybody to actual post a complete scenario which might help anybody figure out why, and it is unlikely it is anything Apple could resolve since it clearly isn't happening to all iTunes users. Your best recourse it to always maintain an up-to-date backup of your computer so it is relatively painless restoring your iTunes library.

What happens to the library during uninstall?

I keep getting a message to uninstall and reinstall itunes to fix a problem I'm having. Do I lose my music library if I do this or is my music still there when I reinstall?

Uninstalling the actual iTunes program doesn't touch your iTunes library or music folder, however it's always advisable to have a backup of your library and music files anytime you have to make changes to your system just in case something goes wrong. Have a look at these pages for advice:

What happened to the Library folder?

I did an upgrade to Lion this past weekend. Everything seems to work fine except the Library folder is not present. I clicked on two files from an email message and they showed up in the Mail Downloads folder, but I cannot navigate to that folder. All I have as folders under "My Name" are: Desktop, Documents, Downloads, hob [?], Movies, Music, Pictures. Public, Sites. Nothing else. Can someone enlighten me on where the Library folder might be?
Thanks!

Whats happened to my library?

i have just downloaded the latest version of itunes 7.6 (29) .. after restarting my computer and opening itunes my whole library is missing.. all tracks and playlists and artwork .. itunes is completely empty!!! the tracks are still there in the itunes folder in "music" .. now i have to work out how to import them without doing each individual track (there are thousands) seperately .. great...!! any ideas??

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: No content shows up in iTunes after updating

What happened to the controls in QuickTime?

I like the new look of QuickTime, but what happened to the controls for editing video? I used to be able to hit the "I" key for inpoint, and the "O" key for endpoint, and then hit delete to remove that section. Now, I have to drag the selection tool around to do the cut. This is very awkward, especially when I need to fine-tune the areas where the cut is to be made.
Are there any tips on doing some more fine-tuned edits in QuickTime?

I second SwagMeyer's request. He's not asking for any advanced trimming feature that would make things more difficult for the simple user: the IN and OUT shortcuts were presents and "invisible" also in QuickTimePro 7 and they would not affect that easiness of the application.

My itunes is syncing everything but my apps. what happened?

I was playing around with the setting on my phone yesterday and i might have messed something up because now when I sync my iphone it doesn't make any changes to my apps. (adding or deleting) What happened and how can I fix it?

There are no settings on the phone that control app syncing. On the Apps page of your device (not the library) in iTunes you see what's selected to sync. Nothing should change on your phone when you sync unless you updated or purchased apps in iTunes on the computer and not the phone.

From 7.7 to 7.7.1 - what happens?

Time to upgrade to 7.7.1 since it sounds like the bugs in 7.7 are fixed.
In the recent past (since I've only used iTunes recently) I've done upgrades with Software Upgrade. I have now learned it's better to do upgrades/updates through downloading from the Apple site.
If I get 7.7.1 as a download from the Apple site and then install it on my G4, what happens to my library? What happens to 7.7 (is it overwritten or do I have two iTunes)?
Mrs H

Mi Mrs H (and mwn)!
So this is where you go and hide!
Found this thread by accident while cruisin' the iTunes forum (which I rarely do) to glean some experiences of others before deciding whether or not to upgrade iTunes from 7.6.1.
7.7.1 no longer how shows in Software Update, only 8, so I thought 'do I or don't I?'
So, happily ignoring the various comments about errors, bugs, gremlins, download difficulties etc, I decided to UPGRADE!
Here is what I did:
First I backed up my iTunes Library. As later comments will show, that was a waste of three DVDs, but at least I now have a backup!
Repaired permissions. Closed all applications. Removed the iTunes icon from the Dock. Downloaded iTunes 8 from the Apple Download Page. Closed Safari. Read the read-me file that came with the installer. Went and had another coffee and cigarette in the garden.
Came back, marvelling that it wasn't raining, and installed iTunes 8. Repaired permissions - and there were a few repairs this time. Slightly surprised that the installer didn't ask for a restart, so I gave my iMac one anyway. Slightly longer bootup than usual, a good sign BTW that something is being reset and/or properly installed.
Opened iTunes 8 with trembling mouse-click.
EVERYTHING WORKS AS IT SHOULD!
My Library and playlists were exactly as I had left them. The Store opened as it should first time. In fact everything was so 'normal' that I had to check if I actually was running iTunes 8! Replaced the icon in the Dock. Made sure Genius wasn't operating - that's for later!
Have Annie Lennox blaring out as I type this.
Life is good - I can recommend iTunes 8!
Keep those feet tapping, kids!

If I delete a file in iCloud, what happens to the local file in ~/Library/Mobile Documents ?

If I delete a file in iCloud, what happens to the local file in ~/Library/Mobile Documents ? Does it get deleted to?
Hope somebody can help.
Thx.

I'm pretty certain that it gets deleted as well. If you try and open that mobile documents folder, it takes you to the iCloud drive folder. I've been searching for this same issue for the last 24 hours also as I inadvertently deleted my Keynote files stored on iCloud drive thinking I was just temporarily deleting Keynote from my iPad when upgrading to the latest iOS 8 version. (I needed space and thought, "Oh, I'll just reinstall later... Turns out I was in the iCloud storage area, not in my iPad storage area at the time and therefore deleted all my iCloud stored presentations. From every device.)

What will happen if I delete a photo from the library that is in a iPhoto Book?

What will happen if I delete photos from my iPhoto library that are in an iPhoto book? Will the book stay intact?

no - it will be deleted from the book too - books are like special albums that point to the library photos
