TS5376 iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open instructions talk about uninstalling and installing iTunes.  Will I loose all my data?

Apple recomments uninstalling and installing iTunes and other Apple related software.  Will I loose my data?
Thank you!

Rather than using the Apple document as a guide, I currently recommend using the following user tip instead:
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates
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.)

    You don't need to open iTunes to back up the library. See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates and look in the further information area for backup advice.

  • I am thinking of updating to the newest version for my Mac Laptop. I have the 10.6.8 should I update to the Mountain Lion OS X? If I update will I loose all my data, like documents, music, pictures?

    Wondering if I should update my Mac Notebook which is a 10.6.8 versions to the newest Mountain Lion version? What are the positive and negatives about the new version? Also if I update will I loose all the date on my computer like documents, music, pictures etc..? 

    First check the Compatibility of your Mac...
    Upgrade to Mountain Lion
    Then... Before attempting any Major Upgrade... get yourself an External Hard Drive... and create a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive...
    By far the easiest way to make such a Backup, is to use something like
    SuperDuper  http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
    or CCC  http://www.bombich.com/
    That way, should anything untoward happen during the Upgrade,
    you will NOT LOSE ANYTHING.
    (Get an EHD that is at least equal to your current Drive...)
    Also, Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...

  • If I sync an iphone with a other itunes, will I loose all my pictures?

    If I sync an iphone with a other itunes, will I loose all my pictures?

    That's likely. You should only sync with one iTunes.

  • If i sync my iPhone with another iTunes will i loose all my apps and photos?

    If i sync my iPhone with another iTunes will i loose all my apps and photos?

    All iTunes content on your iPhone will be removed first.
    Unless you transfer photos from another computer when doing so, the photos transferred from the other computer will not be touched.
    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not part of and not touched with the iTunes sync process.

  • HT4609 if i uninstall my itunes will i loose all of my music?

    I installed the new version of itunes on my computer. I do not like it i want to go back to the version before. If i uninstall my program will i loose all of my music that i have in my itunes. Or will it auto matically put it back in it??

    well there is a problem with your plan, itunes really wont let you downgrade, if you where to try it would be a **** of a journey. If your music was added from folders and such the music will still be where it was added from, if yuo bought the music through itunes there is a very good chance it will be gone, but can be recovered through itunes via your account

    The fix does not explain why this has been done by Apple. very poor job. What will happen to my library? Will I loose everything, only some?
    Why the update was released and not fully tested before?

    Normally nothing. Back it up.

    I'm sure it was tested and that no potential issues with the release were detected. Something unexpected has occured.

  • If i restore to factory settings will i loose all the data in my iTunes on the computer as well?

    i was in the middle of doing the software upgrade when my internet cut out. the pone and itunes froze at the stage they were at. i have tried rebooting the iphone but it keeps telling me to conect to itunes and itunes is sayin i need to restore to factory. i backed it up before i started but will restoring it make me lose everything or should it be safe because of the backup? i dont know what to do

    Hello!
    If you 'backed up' and 'synced' all your data before starting you don't have to worry. You can go to Edit->Preferences->Devices in iTunes to see the backup you made.
    After you have factory restored, you can read up http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 for help on how to restore from your backup, or search Google!
    If you find your backup in iTunes, you're completely safe!

  • HT1212 I never connected my phone to itunes, Will i loose all my pictures if I go through the recovery process?

    I accidentally disabled my iphone and woould like to recover my pictures if possible, never been synced with itunes in the past?

    If you need to restore it, and you do not have a backup, then yes, you will loose everything that is on it.
    You need to have a backup in iTunes or iCloud to have any chance of restoring and then recovering your data.  And a backup only backs up photo's in the camera roll, not everything in all your other albums.  Those are expected to be saved on your computer somewhere.
    So if you have been taking photos, never transferred them to your computer, and never backed up, then there is no way to recover them after a restore.

  • Version 11.2 for Windows failure to install

    I tried to update iTunes this morning for windows, 64 bit. When I tried to launch iTunes, I got this message:The prodecure entry point ADiAdlD_AcquireMatchSlotIfNecessary could not be located in the dynamic link library iAdCore.dll.
    I tried to reinstall the new version using the repair feature. Same results.
    This was followed by a message: iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes.  Error 7 (Windows error 127)
    What is the problem?

    Hi Roland,
    The article below has some tips that should help you get this sorted.
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5376
    Resolution
    These behaviors can occur if the iTunes installer has insufficient privileges to cleanly update iTunes. To resolve the issue, remove iTunes thoroughly, and then give the iTunes installer administrator privileges.
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    1. Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order. Then, restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components, may have unintended affects.If you encounter an error while uninstalling, try repairing the affected component:
    In Add/Remove Programs (Windows XP) or Programs and Features (Vista and later), select the component and look for either Change or Repair.
    Click and follow the wizard to repair the affected component.
    Remove the affected component after repair.
    2. Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalledIn most cases, removing iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel will remove all supporting files belonging to those programs. To fully resolve these issues, manually remove any remaining iTunes-related folders listed below.On 32-bit and 64-bit systems:
    C:\Program Files\Bonjour
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\CoreFP
    C:\Program Files\iTunes\
    C:\Program Files\iPod\
    Note: Follow the additional steps at the end of this article if you receive the alert "Cannot delete iPodService.exe: It is being used by another person or program" when trying to delete this folder. Some of the folders above may not be found on all systems.
    On 64-bit systems: 
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Bonjour
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\CoreFP
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iPod\    
    Note: Follow the additional steps at the end of this article if you receive the alert "Cannot delete iPodService.exe: It is being used by another person or program" when trying to delete this folder. Some of the folders above may not be found on all systems.
    3. Reboot your computer.4. Download the iTunes installer. When prompted to select what you want to do, choose to save it to your computer.5. Install iTunes.
    Right click on iTunesSetup or iTunes64Setup.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: Select the 'Run as administrator' option.
    Windows XP: Select the Open option.

    How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows?  I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

    The same way it was done in every previous version.
    Connect the device to the computer.
    Right click on the device in iTunes and select Transfer Purchases.
    Why would you lose any content by syncing with iTunes?
    Is this not the computer that the device is normally synced with?
