Trouble with Itunes deletion
After closing my Itunes, and then opening it again a couple minutes later, my entire library was deleted. This includes my music, movies, and apps. When I open itunes the page that pops up is the scan for music page. All of my music and and movies are still on my computer and the apps are still on my ipad and the purchase history list. And this isint the first time it has happened either and yes my itunes is up to date.
1st thank you for your fast reply!
Did you quit iTunes then delete the .plist?
Yes, but then I created an empty playlist and this one could be deleted without any warning (what makes sense to me). Later on I tried to delete a playlist with songs in it. And... THERE IT WAS: THE WARNING MESSAGE.
So finally your tip worked! Great!
(Perhaps, the fact, that empty playlists can always be deleted without any warnings, is of some interest in this context).
Why is Apple doing this?
Why is Apple doing what?
Why isn´t Apple providing an easier way to restore the warning messages somewhere in the iTunes "Settings-Menu"?
But anyway, thanks a lot for your help!

I am having all kinds of trouble with itunes and updating my ipad. I open itunes up but it doesn't do anything except open to a blank screen. I try to access the itunes store but it won't go there. When I connect my ipad, and try to update it, it starts and then I get a message that says backup cannot be saved on this computer. I have tried everything suggested to no avail. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I have had problems with itunes. Sometimes I even get a message that I am not connected to the internet.
I have uninstalled and re-installed. Any help?You might not have enough space left on your hardrive.

Started having trouble with iTunes so I uninstalled everything and tried to reinstall but it says ' iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.' Well, I've uninstalled and reinstalled 5 times. Now what?
I figured it out. A week ago I had downloaded a screensaver from a website I trusted and that's when my problems started. I uninstalled it but that didn't help. So, I reinstalled it then used an uninstall softtware app that cleanns more than the control panel does. Then I used a computer cleaner to be sure everything was wiped clean. And it worked. I downloded iTunes for the 7th time in 2 days and finally it worked! And I lost nothing from my account.
Maybe this info will help others. -

I'm having trouble with iTunes synching and accessing the iTunes store.
I'm having trouble with iTunes synching and accessing the iTunes store. When synching, the process tops at the back up stage, freezes and I can't close the iTunes window, need to ctrl alt del. When trying to access the store, the progress bar stops halfway. I've googled heaps and tried most of the standard answers - unistall, reinstall, etc, now looking for some help please.
This has only started a few weeks back, after working smoothly for the 2 years of owning the iPhone 3gs.
Any suggestions will be appreciated, it's getting realy frustrating.
Cheers for now,

this worked perfectly for me, with no loss of library! BUT was warned about uninstalling things in the order listed...FYI. -
I am having trouble with Itunes registering the Mp4 video that has been converted. Help!!
I am having trouble with Itunes registering the MP4 video that has been converted. Help!
What do you mean by iTunes registering the mp4?
Which iTunes, on iPad, iTunes is a Store and it won't take your .mp4.
On pc, check if it supports the mp4 (there are a number of different mp4 format) you have converted.
Can you import it to computer iTunes? -
having trouble with iTunes playing on my phone...how do I adujust playlist from playing same song over and over...driving me crazy!....
Check and make sure the repeat indicator isn't set to repeat the same song. It will have a little number 1 inside a circle on it if it is. Just keep hitting it until it goes white. It will cycle through repeat all, repeat 1, and repeat none.

Having trouble with itunes update. Error with itunes64.msi. Windows 8.1 64 bit. Thanks.
Having trouble with itunes update. Error with itunes64.msi. Windows 8.1 64 bit. I tried uninstalling, but I am stuck now trying to reinstall.
It says itcan't find the itunes64.msi destination folder.(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -

Following the support steps for uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes on a Windows 7 (64bit) computer, the provided bullet points for additional steps requests to uninstall 'program files (x86)/common files/apple'.
When attempting to delete this 'apple' folder an error message occurs saying 'the action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program'.
Looking in this 'apple' folder there are the folders and files for Internet Services & Windows Migration Assistant, and in sub-folders things like iCloud & Photostream, etc. Makes sense the error would occur given this folderinstall given this situation?
Thanks!I did find MobileMe and deleted it prior to reading the support message, noticing that I likely did not need it anymore while deleting iTunes and the related programs.
And as you were replying just now, I was able to download and install iTunes without having to return to 'commonfiles/apple' and attempt to delete it again.
I discovered that Adobe Bridge was open in the background, and it sent a similar 'runtime' error along with iTunes, and iTunesHelper.exe, and so I used Task Manager to end Adobe Bridge as part of the troubleshooting.
Seems like all is working again.
I appreciate your support! -
Trouble with itunes ipod and windows vista
I just got a new computer with windows vista home premium (32bit) and i am having trouble syncing my ipod with itunes.
when i connect the ipod it asks me if i want to scan and fix the drive, if i click continue without scanning it sometimes wont let me sync, and if it does it only gets about half my music on there before saying it is unable to write to it (unknown error 53)I have a similar problem, with my new iPod Touch crashing an XP Professional setup. It's worth noting that the Apple article also talks about potential USB conflicts with other devices on the system that might have bad drivers. They say the solution, if that is the fault, is to make sure all your USB drivers are good. I'll try that, by a process of elimination, before re-installing iTunes (as I thought I had the latest version and I don't have Vista). I'll come back here later to report the outcome.
(serious if your iPod crashed your PC - can't even charge its battery ! ) -
