Reseting Itunes To Original Settings

today i accidentaly changed the theme of my itunes without backing up my original files.
i was wondering if by doing something like updating or reinstalling would fix this.
so could someone help me with the steps of doing this (i have alot of songs and i dont want to loose them by the way, and it took me ages to sort them in to like a hundred playlists)

Since I don't know what you did, I can't really tell you how to reverse it.
However, iTunes library content such as music, videos, and iPod games are saved in your Music folder by default and are separate from the iTunes application..
Download iTunes again and install it over your current installation. http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If that doesn't work, try this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224

  • I have an iPhone 4S, and just now the sound quit working. It works with the headset and if I put it on speaker, but not anyway else. The music won't send sound out, the purine calls do the same. I reset to the original settings, nothing works.

    Hi there Wacjude,
    I would recommend taking a look at the article below for some speaker and receiver troubleshooting steps.

  • Reset macbook to original settings

    I want to restore my macbook (white) to its original settings so that I can give it to my son for Christmas without all my stuff on it.  What is the easiest way  to do that?  I'm not sure if I have/or got discs with it. 

    Without the original discs, you really won't be able to do it. If you can find the install discs, you can then boot to the install disk, erase your Mac's hard disk, then do a fresh install of the OS, remove the disc and shut down at the point where it prompts you for user information. At that point, when your son starts up the system, setup should carry on and let him set up the box as if it were new.
    Another way of doing this could be to set up an account for him on the box. Log into his account and delete yours. Subsequently, uninstall any and all applications that did not ship with it.
    If you're really stuck for the install discs, you can try contacting Apple to see whether you can buy them. If Apple says no, then ifixit.com is your next stop. When ifixit.com decommissions a notebook for salvage parts, discs are available for resale. Specifiy the model and they'll show whether they have those discs in stock.

  • Reset the spiral original prefs in the tools panel

    Hello,
    When you create shapes and start to play with the original settings, like in the star, spiral or polygon tools, either by using your arrow keys when drawing or clicking on the tool to change it's preference there, is there anyway to get the tools to reset to the original settings without trashing prefs for the entire; program.
    thanks
    babs

    If I want to reset all the tools without trashing preferences I just quit out of Illustrator and relaunch the program.

  • Adobe original settings

    In Develop module of Lightroom shift-click on Reset apply Adobe original settings to the image without saving Adobe original settings as default settings.
    There is an equivalent command in Camera Raw?
    Thank you.

    You can also reset the meaning of "default" to the original Adobe default with the flyout menu (it's one of the bottom 2 options).

  • My iPod touch won't connect to wifi. Password is correct. Already reset network settings and restored ipod to original settings. Already updated iTunes and upgraded iPod to iOS 6.

    A message keeps popping up when I try to join my network that says, "unable to join the network."
    I have already reset network settings and restored ipod to original settings.
    I already updated iTunes and upgraded iPod to iOS 6.
    The password is correct. I even made sure by checking my wifi account.
    I have completely restarted my internet connection multiple times.
    I have also restarted my ipod multiple times
    My wifi was working on my iPod yesterday before I reset all settings.
    I updated it yesterday to iOS 5. Still didn't work.
    It wasn't updated to the new iOS 6 until today so I don't think it has anything to do with the upgrade.
    My camera started to be glitchy, so I reset my Ipod like I was advised in another discussion.
    My internet wasn't connected anymore. My password wasn't working either, but the wifi connection was still showing.
    Safari still wasn't working, though.
    I did the sensible thing and I reset my network connection.
    Now, the password isn't working and there's no wifi signal.
    The camera is working well now, but the wifi is messed up. I didn't expect any of this to happen. The internet is all I use the iPod for. Now, the iPod is useless to me. Please help?

    are other things still connecting to the wifi without a problem?
    Have you tried resetting network settings, then unplugging modem and router from power for 40 seconds then plugging back in letting the lights stabilize and Then recconecting with the ipod>?

  • My itouch is asking me for answers to security questions that I never answered and it won't let me buy anything from the iTunes store.  I tried a hard reset to original settings but it still asks for answers.

    My daughter's itouch (registered to my apple account) is asking for answers to security questions that I never answered and it won't let her buy anything from the iTunes store.  I tried a hard reset to original settings but it still asks for answers.  How do I reset the security questions or get rid of them appearing altogether?  I can purchase apps on my phone (same apple account) and it doesn't ask me for security questions.

  • HT1349 Is there a way to reset an ipod touch to original settings?  Hoping it will aleviate some of our issues.

    My daughter's Ipod Touch has suddenly gone on the fritz.  No idea what she has done to it, but it won't even let me reset the date and time.  And now there is some ladies voice talking every time we try to do anything at all.  Touch screen doesn't seem to be responding correctly either.  Not sure what to do.  Thought that maybe I could reset it to all of the original settings and see if that would help anything.  However, b/c it isn't allowing me to do much of anything, I'm not sure if there is a way to do this.  If anyone has any thoughts, please let me know.

    No promises but a System Reset is worth trying:
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
    A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
    Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide.  Pay special attention to page 162.  Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad
    Finally, the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark.
