Re importing music will i lose artwork

for some reason i have a lot of duplicates of my music in i tunes. I know I can delete them manually but i have 30GB of music and it would take a while. I have all my music on an external back up drive as well. If i delete my library and re import it will i lose all the album artwork as well or will i tunes get them for me. Some I placed in i tunes myself from amazon.

none of the files your create using adobe programs are removed when uninstalling adobe programs. that said, you should not save production files in the same directory as your installed program files (for adobe or anyone else's programs).

6.0.2.23 import new cd's - lose artwork from tracks already in library

Upgraded to 6.0.2.23 successfully and this rev fixed Outlook synching glitches, but now when I import new cd's I lose artwork from tracks that are already in my library.
All cover art has been added manually via get info-paste artwork, sometimes 1 track at a time, sometimes multiple tracks at once.
Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to which ones disappear, but everytime I rip, more are missing. Perhaps it's not the ripping causing the problem. Maybe adding the artwork to the new tracks flips some bit on other tracks from the same record label...
It's bad enough that you have to add them yourself, but losing them after all that effort is just a real nard buster.

I am also experiencing severe PC playback issues with iTunes 6.0.2.23. At the beginning of each track, for 10 or 15 seconds the CPU pins at 100% & all other applications stall - email, word processing, web browsing etc. As well, the track playing often goes silent for about five seconds.
I have disabled all services (antivirus, antispyware, popup blockers etc.) as per Apple's recommendation, with no improvement. This is a huge disappointment after 3 years of good iTunes behaviour.
I have resorted to using iTunes only for updating my iPods (I have a 3G 20GB, two Shuffles and a 60GB video iPod), and using Windows Media Player (which has an inferior GUI) for playing music while I work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Will I lose artwork by un-installing, and re-installing Adobe Draw to fix "Send to Illustrator" option?

I believe that re-installing Adobe Draw might help activate the "Send to Illustrator" option on the app, as it not currently showing in my app. Will I lose my layers and artwork if I try to fix this by un-installing and re-installing the app?
I've created a detailed, multi- layered artwork on Draw, while running the trial version of CC Illustrator on my computer. I've since paid for a CC subscription in order to send the file I'm working on to my laptop to finish, but still I have no option to send the layered vector image.

To not lose music and other synced media you have to sync using the manual method

When you Import an *audio CD*, iTunes will use the settings in iTunes menu File -> General - Import settings.
When you add anything else (songs already in AAC. MP3, AIFF, WAV or Apple Lossless) iTunes will simply add them to iTunes. It does not convert them to anything.
You can set your Import prefs then hold Option and go to iTunes menu Advanced -> Convert selection to..., iTunes will convert & import the files with the Import settings and add it to the library.

If I uninstall iTunes and reinstall it, will I lose my music files?

Hi
My Ipod touch (2nd Gen) is not being recognised in itunes. I have gone through the ipod touch assistant, and this has made no difference.
Next try is to uninstall itunes and re-install it. However...will I lose my music library when I do this?
I am also having problems with my external back-up drive which has now stopped me opening it up (I have had it for a year), as it says "I don't have permission to see it's contents" and "files can't be copied onto the backup disk because it appears to be "read-only" - so I am loathe to uninstall itunes if I lose all my music etc....
Thanks for your help
Simon

You will not lose any music..
However, you do have a current backup of the iTunes folder and all other important info on your hard drive, correct?

Hi, I need to re-format my hard drive, as it has a virus, so will lose all my data including itunes. I therefore need to reinstall itunes - but if I do this will I lose all the music that I have bought? How do I reinstall music to the new itunes?

Make a backup of your media and other important files.
Just to be safe, make a backup of your entire iTunes directory.
Restore computer or do whatever it is you need to do.
Restore your media and other important documents.
Install iTunes.
Try using search next time... this gets asked way too frequently.

Will I lose my music if iTunes says its corrupt to uninstall then reinstall

Will I lose my music if my iTunes is corrupt and needs to be uninstall and then reinstalled

Hi Amylu6274,
If you need to remove and reinstall iTunes on your Windows machine, you may find the following article useful:
Apple Support: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.

I tunes will no longer open. If I uninstall and re-install itunes will I lose the music in the library

Itunes weill no longer open. If I uninstall and re-install itunes will I lose the music from the itunes library?

Hello,
All of your content is stored outside of iTunes in the event that the program needs to be removed or reinstalled. Take a look at the article below for instructions on how to properly remove and reinstall iTunes.

When I "deathorize all" computers and re-authorize my current pc so that I can use it for iTunes, will I lose any of my music, especially those that were not purchased through iTunes directly? I am afraid to that I will lose non-purchased songs.

Will I lose any of my non-purchased music that I imported from CD's when I "deauthorize all" computers and "re-authorize" my current pc? I am fearful that I will lose several songs from my library when I do this.

No. Deauthorizing only removes the computer from the list of computers that you can use to view or purchase new music under your iTunes sign-on.

Will I lose current music?

I know this is probably a stupid question, but must I have all my music saved on my hard drive before I upgrade? When I try to "upgrade" it takes me to the "install 7.5" page. I'm afraid it will install 7.5 and erase the music I currently have on whatever edition on iTunes I have now.

No, you will not lose music when you upgrade. You harddrive saves the music and iTunes only holds the file paths to reference them by. You will be safe to upgrade, but do remember, hard drives do fail and it is important to always back up your music via external hard drive, data dvd's or cd's. Hope this helps.

Will I lose all of my music if I uninstall then reinstall itunes?

Im unable to open iTunes on my computer since I updated to the latest version. This message appears "QuickTime was not found. QuickTime is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again." If I do so, will I lose all of my music? How can I fix this so I can sync my phone?
Thanks

No, you won't lose any music. iTunes is simply a method for playing the music on your computer
You can remove and reinstall and upon doing so, you should be asked to specify where your music is, if in fact it is somewhere other than the standard place - ie
C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxxxxxx\My Documents\My Music
Not sure what happens to your image files though, in terms of cover art etc
You'll more than likely lose play counts also, if that's of concern
Sure someone else will confirm
Does uninstalling, then reinstalling iTunes affect saved artwork?
And will doing so also delete and 'lose' play counts etc?

Because of warning I received for my iTunes (it would not start up) MSVCR80dill missing, if I remove the program and reinstall will I lose the music I already had and purchased?

I am somewhat computer illiterate but I have a question. I have had iTunes for several years and never had a problem. I occassionally get prompts to update and those only take about a minute and they're done. Last week, the download could not complete even after I had tried 2 or 3 times. I just let it go thinking I would try again when I had more time. Yesterday I tried to access iTunes on my Windows 7 and got a message, " could not start iTunes, MSVCR80 dill is missing. Please reload iTunes to fix the problem. I tried several times but I continue to get the same message without iTunes coming up. I talked to a computer geek today who told me I should go to my control panel and uninstall iTunes and reinstall it. My question. I have placed many albums of music and purchased many songs from the iTunes shop which I am concerned will go missing or deleted if I uninstall and reinstall. Will I lose my library if I do this? What precautions can I take to make sure everything comes back as it was?

I downloaded version 11 on itunes and updated my ipod to os6, when I try to open itunes now, it says it downloaded incorrectly and won't open. It says to reinstall itunes. Will I lose my whole music library if I reinstall itunes?

you will not loose your content at all. It is still sitting in your hard drive even if you uninstall itunes.
Once itunes will be reinstalled , it will re-sync your stuff on your hard drive

How can I get my music in my itunes library on my ipad? If I sync the itunes library will I lose all my apps on my ipad?

Media was moved via external hard disk, and I think I moved the iTunes Media folder after consolidating it.
