Quicktime uninstalled, can I reinstall without loosing itunes information?

Okay. I unistalled quicktime to fix Fire Fox (the latest version has been making FF crash), not realizing that it was needed for iTunes to run. Yes, you can call me stupid. Now I can't open iTunes at all.
I have a full album and several songs I haven't backed up yet from iTunes and am afraid or loosing it as well as playcount and other things.
1: Would a system restore solve the problem?
2. If I just reinstalled quicktime and not itunes, would itunes be back to normal? Or do I have to reinstall both?
I don't want to try anything yet because I know I risk loosing some music.
Windows XP

2. If I just reinstalled quicktime and not itunes, would itunes be back to normal? Or do I have to reinstall both?
reinstalling QuickTime would be fine. i've done this several times in the course of research for troubleshoots and haven't lost a song yet. (that being said, it's still a good idea to have backups of your music in case of disasters.)
possibly the easiest way to get QT back is to do a repair install of itunes.
reboot the PC. head into your Add/Remove programs. select iTunes, click "Change" and then click "Repair". does the repair install go through properly? if so, does your itunes launch properly again?

Following Windows Update, Photoshop elements 10 editor fails to start. Can I Uninstall and then reinstall without loosing any catalogues?

Using Windows 7 Home, and until today have had no problems.
Windows deleted a whole load of files and now I have problems opening Elements editor.
Is it safe to simply uninstall Elements and then reinstall?

Thanks Jeff. I will install from disc 2 but presumably first i need to uninstall my first attempt (from Disc 1). However, will uninstalling the product use up one of the licenses as I would like to install on two computers and I don't want to use up both licenses on the same computer. I have read on this forum about the need to de-activate the program before uninstalling but some clarification on what "de-activating" actually does would be welcome. Could someone please confirm the steps I need to take to solve this problem. As I understand it I need to 1) de-activate the first incorrect install (from disc 1), 2) uninstall the product and 3) re-install using disc 2 and then disc 4. It seems discs 1, 3 & 5 are not needed for my install of Photoshop Elements 10 and Premier Elements 10 on a Windows 7 64 bit computer.
Following these steps will use up one of my licenses (hopefully not both) and I can then install the programme on my desktop for my second license.
Comments / suggestions welcome and appreciated. Thanks

I want to make a new account on iCloud instead of the old one without loosing my information in the old one ?How could I do that?

If you want to change to a new iCloud accout you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account.
Before deleting the account, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll or you will lose them. To do this, open the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.

How to uninstall and then reinstall when File iTunes .msi cannot be found?

How do you upgrade versions when it cant uninstall or reinstall because file, iTunes.msi cannot be found?

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

IPod Touch 4th Generation, can you use without downloading iTunes to your computer

My son got an iPod Touch for Christmas. When charged and turned on, it only shows a picture of a cord and the iTunes logo. We've been trying to download iTunes to my computer (asked question over at iTunes forum as keep receiving 'iTunesSetup.exe is not a valid 32bit application' error and will not download, dial up, Toast, IE9) and can not get it done. I have been told there is no disc that can be sent to me to start iTunes on my computer. We've taken the iPod to a local WiFi spot but the screen will not change. (And could not download at the local WiFi spot iTunes to my computer either.)
Is there anyway to start this iPod Touch without having iTunes downloaded to your computer? This was not mentioned anywhere when I bought the iPod for Christmas and we are very upset that he has been unable to even use his present. No one in my community knows how to fix this, no one has WiFi and the local WiFi spot, I have already sat there for 6 hours trying to get this done and keep getting this error.
We are very disgusted with the whole business and have gone out and bought him something of his choosing and are about ready to nix the whole business with iPods, iPads and anything 'i' related between myself, my family, and my whole community because we feel its wrong to have something that can't be used unless you have faster than dial up service. What's the point of getting anything from Apple if you can't use it do to the area you live in not having reception or satelite service? It still boggles my mind that they can't send me a disc to correct this.
Can someone give me some suggestions on how to get his iPod working since we can't get iTunes downloaded to anyone's computer out where I live?

If you're getting the "iTunesSetup.exe is not a valid 32bit application" error, it likely means that you may have tried to download the 64bit iTunes Setup exe (application). You mentioned you couldn't download because you have dialup, However, even with dialup you should be able to download iTunes. You can go to the following apple site and scroll down and click on the Windows 32 bit version of iTunes. On dialup it will take a while to download, but it can be done. See if this helps.

Having Issues with iTunes 10.5.3 and uninstalled. Cannot reinstall without upgrading to newest Snow Leopard? Using MacBook Pro running 10.5.8.

Running OS X Leopard 10.5.8 and was having issues with my version of iTunes 10.5.3 (freezing and getting rainbow spinny wheel, not allowing me to do anything, while importing music from a different folder into the iTunes). Anyway, so I uninstalled iTunes and went to download the newest version (10.7 i believe) and after downloading and attempting to install, i was alerted that I cannot install and run this application without having the newest version of OS X 10.6 i believe. So, what I'm ultimately trying to figure out is if I need to spend $130(that i do not have) on Amazon to get the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 then pay another $20 in the App Store to upgrade to Mountain Lion as well? I need to have iTunes on this laptop due to having an iPhone 4 that needs to be able to be synced on this computer. Bottom Line is, I don't have really have $150 to upgrade all this at the current moment just to get iTunes back on my system. Any suggestions or am I basically having to drop the $150 just to get iTunes back so I can sync my iPhone 4 again? Ugh, this *****, really wish i hadn't uninstalled that version of iTunes..HELP!!! thanks in advance..

Click here and install the software. If you decide to upgrade to 10.6 at some future point, phone the online Apple Store.

Can I restore without loosing apps?

iPod Touch 4G stuck on "connect to iTunes" screen. If my only option is to RESTORE the device, how can I do that without it deleting apps? Will I loose what I have built in Minecraft? Please help!

Just restore from backup
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If you previous synced to the computer then you may be able to recovery use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.

Can I restore without loosing application data?

Since I installed 3.0 on my original 2G iphone, when I remove it from the dock the keyboard clicks and lock sounded are muted. If I restart the phone or turn the clicks off then on they work again until I dock the phone.
I was thinking of restoring the phone, but have information in applications such as "Things" and "Upcoming" ect. that I can't loose. Is there a was to restore and not loose or back up my application databases?
Thanks for your help!

3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app is included with your iPhone's backup, which is created and maintained by iTunes as the first step during the sync process.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
When restoring an iPhone with iTunes, the options are restoring from your iPhone's most recent backup (which is the default selection), or as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, which must be manually selected.
If you want to restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup, sync your iPhone with iTunes immediately beforehand to update your iPhone's backup if needed and to update any synced data such as contacts and calendar events.

Acrobat XI uninstalled, can't reinstall

I am a Creative Cloud Customer on a Mac OS X 10.9. I was receiving a "Trial Expired" message while running Acrobat XI for some strange reason. While trying to troubleshoot this, I uninstalled Acrobat XI, hoping to reinstall.
Like many others who have uninstalled Acrobat, Creative Cloud still says Acrobat is installed & up to date - even though it is gone. The suggested fix is to go to Applications -> Utilities -> Adobe Installers, and run the Uninstall Acrobat Pro link.
HOWEVER, that does not exist in that folder. There are only 2 links, one to uninstall CS5.5, and one to uninstall Creative Cloud. There is no uninstaller there for Acrobat.
How do I proceed? Is there any way to truly start over from scratch?

Hi Jerry,
Please ran adobe cleaner tool and clean acrobat XI pro.

Repairing HDD without loosing itunes library

My HDD has been corrupted and I need reboot it and re-install all my software programs. If I save my itunes library on an external hard drive and I re-install itunes once the laptop drive is fixed, how will I ensure that the re-installed Itunes will recognise the library and my ipods?

Assuming your iTunes folders and files are intact, you need to save the iTunes folder from My Music with all its subfolders.
Copy My Music\iTunes onto an external drive.
When you have fixed your internal drive, install iTunes but don't add any music at this stage.
With iTunes closed, drag the iTunes folder out of My Music to your desktop.
Then copy the iTunes folder from the external drive into My music to replace the one you dragged out.
When you next open iTunes you should have your old library back.
If you really are using windows 2000, the last compatible version is iTunes 7.3 which you can download from here if needed:
