Uninstall/Reinstall iTunes in Windows

If I uninstall and reinstall iTunes in Windows, will I lose my iTunes library? Do I need to save my songs somewhere before I uninstall it?

Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes won't erase anything from the iTunes library.

    You can backup your library by saving the iTunes folder that contains your iTunes Media folder to some form of external storage.

  • Uninstall and reinstall iTunes in Windows XP

    I've been tring to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes, but the upgrade installation always crashes.  Does anyone know if I will lose all of the music I have on my pc if I try to completely uninstall and reinstall iTunes in Windows XP?  Alternatively can anyone tell me the folder where iTunes saves songs be default in Windows XP so that I could save them to a thumb drive before I do the uninstall?  Thanks.

    first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
    next, download and install the revo uninstaller http://http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
           next download itunes. it worked for me hope this is helpful!!
        oonce you get into the revo uninstallergo thru to delete itunes hit uninstall on the itunes icon then you will go thru to it will tell u the same nmessage about the feature and network hit cancell then go thru and hit scan (make sure bthe advance scan button is pushed) this will take awhile but go thru the list and hit everything associated with itunes. hit delete then install itunes again. it worked for me hope it works for you!

  • TS1717 Is it possible to uninstall & reinstall iTunes and not have to redo all of my playlists etc.?

    Is it possible to uninstall & reinstall iTunes and not have to redo all of my playlists etc.?
    I updated iTunes and the installation failed and now I cannot open iTunes.  The fix is to unistall and reinstall iTunes but I don't want to have to redo all of my playlists and things.

    Do not worry all your Data including Playlist, etc. will remain as it is.
    Do the following:
    Uninstall from Windows the following five programs: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support. You do this from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
    Download the latest version of iTunes from Apple and note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
    Run the iTunes installation as an administrator, just Right click iTunes installer and Run as Administrator.
    Note : If you are unable to Remove Apple Mobile Device Support you can skip that.

  • Trying to uninstall & reinstall iTunes?

    Itunes would not open. Got a message on my windows 7 computer to uninstall/ reinstall iTunes. Followed the Apple recommended instructions for Uninstall. I cannot get Apple Mobile Device Support to uninstall. Even went to Microsoft Fixit program to Force the uninstall & it is still there. Itunes will not open when reinstalled. Still get error message

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • HT2703 Can i reinstall Bonjour without uninstalling/reinstalling itunes after accidental removal?

    Can i reinstall Bonjour,after accidental removal, without uninstall/reinstalling itunes?

    Uninstalling and then reinstalling your iTunes should also get your Bonjour reinstalled.
    For the reinstall, use an installer downloaded from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    ... or you could get it back via your Apple Software Update for Windows.
    If you'd prefer not to uninstall iTunes, try the following procedure.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the Bonjour.msi (or Bonjour64.msi) to do a standalone Bonjour install.

  • TS1286 At my PC startup, I get an error message "AppleSyncNotifier.exe--Entry Point Not Found"  My iPhone now doesn't show up as a Device in either iTunes or My Computer on my PC. I've uninstalled/ reinstalled iTunes & run diagnostics-no luck. Ideas?

    At my PC startup, I get an error message "AppleSyncNotifier.exe--Entry Point Not Found"  My iPhone now doesn't show up as a Device in either iTunes or My Computer on my PC. I've uninstalled/ reinstalled iTunes & run diagnostics-no luck. Ideas?

    I think my problem is fixed now.
    For the fun of it, I reinstalled iTunes 9.2.1 today (using the exact same installer as I did yesterday), but this time I didn't uninstall iTunes first. As expected, iTunes recognized my iPhone (as I expected it to, until my next reboot).
    A few minutes later, Software Update showed up and among the updates is "iPhone SDK Compatibility Update". The description indicates that installing this should fix an issue where iPhones and iPod touches aren't recognized by iTunes. Isn't that interesting?
    I installed that update and most of the others waiting for me (including Java, Safari 5.0.1, and a few others - not 10.6.4 though, due to the issues with nVidia graphics cards). After the reboot, I started iTunes, and it saw my iPhone!
    So, if you're having this same problem, I'd recommend tracking down this update and see if that does the trick for you. Hopefully it will.

  • Itunes states "ipod detected but could not be identified properly" when I plug in my new nano. tried uninstalling/reinstalling itunes 6 times - get pop-up "itunes helper error" with abort, retry, ignore options. retry doesn't work

    I am trying to connect my new nano to my iTunes account. I keep getting msg "ipod detected but not identified properly. disconnect and reconnect. if problem persists uninstall/reinstall iTunes". I've uninstalled/ reinstalled iTunes 6 times but keep getting the same msg.
    when installing iTunes I get a pop-up "iTunes helper error" check access. with options to abort, retry, ignore. retry doesn't work. ignore installs iTunes but it doesn't recognize my nano. abort shuts down the download.
    how do I fix these problems??

  • Cannot open iTune (Please reinstall iTune error7(windows error 126)

    when I installing,there are error as cannot find something look like "Apple Mobile Device" then when I did script it and finished install. and when I open iTune, it doesn't work and pop up error as "Please reinstall iTune error7(windows error 126)
    anyway I used to use iTune before but since I tried to up date new version last week it cannot open.
    BR,

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • How to reinstall itunes without windows error 2

    how can i reinstall itunes without "windows error 2"

    Ah iTunes, how you make me lose my hair.....
    I got it working, but not before it imported all of the wrong stuff.  I set the Media Folder to precisely what I wanted it to import (all of my daughter's Top 40 songs), and then found the Music option "Add MP3 and AAC Files from your folder".  That seemed to be the correct option, so I clicked it.  Unfortunately, it didn't just stick to my folder, but went off on its merry way adding any song from any folder.  It dumped hundreds of ACDC and Aerosmith songs into iTunes (neither band is particularly stingy with F-bombs on live albums) into my daughter's list of teeny bopper titles.  When I tried to remove them from the iTunes library, it put up a scary warning that if I removed those songs it would delete them from every iDevice within a 5KM radius.
    There doesn't seem to be any way within iTunes of removing all songs from a particular folder or hard drive directory, which would have been nice.  In fact, I can't figure out how to show the filename anywhere within iTunes (isn't that a bit odd?).  So I manually removed the 2K songs it had imported, which took a good hour.  Then I found the File - Add Folder to Library option, and that one allowed me to select the folder I wanted to import.  I hate to say it, Apple makes great hardware products, but iTunes seems to come from an entirely different planet.
