Hello, if I uninstall and reinstall Itunes, will I lose all my downloads and apps. Thank you for the answer. F

No, your library will remain - but you should be keeping and maintaining a backup of your downloads/library.

  • Uninstall then Reinstall itunes--Will I lose my iphone backup files?

    My "other" capacity on my iphone ballooned to 8.88GB's (a currupt file I guess).
    To fix it, I sync'ed my iphone with itunes, restored it to factory setting successfully, and now there seems to be no way to restore to MY previous settings. The iphone works, but the itunes screen will not change when I click on the phone on the left to allow me to sync it or anything now.
    If I uninstall/reinstall itunes will it keep all my data and allow me to get to my backup to restore the phone?
    Basically, my phone is now restored to my factory settings, and my itunes is not working correctly so I can't access my backup files.
    Any suggestions?
    Win XP
    iphone software 2.01 (I think)
    Itunes 8.1

    ^^^I was also getting and error about "dataclass information from sync services." A few threads about that error lead me to uninstalling all apple software on my PC and then reinstalling itunes.
    It worked and now I'm in the process of restoring my phone with minimal lost data I hope!

    Your library should be fine, but you ought to backup routinely anyway.

  • If I uninstall iPhoto and reinstall it, will I lose all my pictures?

    I bought my macbook (2011 model) used awhile ago. I have uploaded a couple of years worth of photos and never had a problem with iPhoto. Recently, I noticed iPhoto won't open with mac OS X. I tried updating it, but can't because instead of my apple ID, the previous owner's apple ID shows up. I read a few forums and it seems like the best advice is to uninstall, then reinstall iPhoto. If I do that, will I lose all my photos? I would really hate that because I don't have a lot of those photos already backed up because I'm stupid and don't think anything through. Please help me!

    No, you won't. Back them up anyway.

  • I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes multiple times.  When I connect my iPod Classic I get the following message:  The software for this iPod is not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes to install the required software.  Any ideas?

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes multiple times.  When I connect my iPod Classic I get the following message:  The software for this iPod is not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes to install the required software.  Any ideas?

    Assuming you have windows, try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall iTunes.  You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful.  Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

  • If I disinstall iTune and reinstall it will I loose all my music?

    If I disinstall iTune and reinstall it will I loose all my music? I am constantly alerted that I must install an updated version but each time I try to do it it does not work. What should I do?

    Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall doesn't touch your content. (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times in case of disasters of any sort.)

  • TS5376 I'm having problems with install version 11.1.4. If I uninstall and reinstall will I lose all my downloaded music?

    I'm having problems with install version 11.1.4. If I uninstall and reinstall will I lose all my downloaded music?

    Hi, so did I.  It seems to be a huge problem with everyone.  I opened a folder on desktop and called it target.  I copied all my songs into that folder.
    I uninstalled Itunes completely.  Rebooted.  Then I installed a fresh install.
    I then dragged all the songs back to Itunes and it worked.  I hope that helps. 
    I read an article the other day and apple is suppose to come out with some genius fix for this problem, it really seems to be global.
    Good luck,

  • If I uninstall/reinstall iTunes will I lose my library?

    I want to uninstall iTunes, as I have too many files that are unorganized. I am worried that I will lose my library. Will I lose it, or is there another way within iTunes to update all my file names and locations?

    Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes will not help with disorganized files unless you intent to allow iTunes to create a new library and have it organize things for you automatically. If that's what you intend, then no, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes should not cause you lose any of your content.
    That said, it's wise to make a backup of any content that you've purchased from the iTunes Store or that would otherwise be difficult to replace and of your playlists before you upgrade, just in case something would happen to go wrong.
    Regards.

  • If i uninstall and reinstall skype will i lose voi...

    Hi,
    If i uninstall and reinstall skype will i lose voicemail messages?
    Thanks
    Ben

    Hi, Benluke! 
    Most uninstallation procedures tend to avoid deleting UGCs (User Generated Content.) That's not to say that I can guarantee they'll stick either. 
    Have you listened to any of these voicemail messages yet? 
    If so, it has been transferred to the PC you listened to it on and is located at:
    C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Skype\SkypeUsername\voicemail
    No other computer with Skype installed will be able to retrieve it. 
    If not, it is still on Skype's servers and will remain there for no longer than 60 days from the time and date it has been sent to you. 
    That being said about Voicemail, you may notice that these are saved in .DAT files. I really don't want to leave you in the dust, but, so far, every resource I've exhausted has literally left me in the dust. You won't be able to play these files outside of Skype and I can't guarantee you that these files will be read by Skype the same way after an uninstall, reinstall and replacement of these files. 
    You can use some third-party tools to record your voicemails, such as call recorders developed for Skype. Perhaps you can back the voicemails up with one. I do apologise that I can't give you the most direct solution. 
    Should you choose to uninstall Skype, please keep me posted and let me know how the voicemail messages turn out (and what solution you chose to take.) You'll greatly help those who have wondered about this, present and past! As always, don't hesitate to ask if you've got more questions!

  • If I reinstall Itunes will it delete all of my playlists, genres, etc?

    Help,
    First time IPod owner who loaded 1,800 songs most of which had bad info (ie: wrong genre, artist showing as title, etc.) I've spent hours making changes in ITunes trying to get them right. I am having troubles connecting my IPod to ITunes and the online support says I need to reinstall ITunes. I looked back at the "music" folder where the files are stored and none of the changes that I made in ITunes show there. So again I ask:
    If I reinstall Itunes will it delete all of my playlists, genres, etc?

    under normal circumstance, it won't touch them. i've done at least 8 upgrades without losing any genres, playlists or song information.
    but, it's best to insure against disaster and back up your music files and library files prior to an upgrade. (actually, it's best to have a regular backup regime even if you aren't planning on upgrading.) this Buegie post is a good resource on those matters:

    hello there, this is really urgent i would like to ask if there is a way to deactivate/lock my Mini Ipad because it was stolen, i hope you can provide me a way to do so, thank you for the support and i really hop you can help me, i bought this mini ipad not too long ago.

    Unless you enabled Find My iPad on it before it was stolen then there isn't any way to locate it. If you did enable it then you could try locating and/or remotely wiping it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it.
    If you haven't already done so then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc., and if it was a cellular model you should also contact your carrier.
