If I uninstall itunes 8 and reinstall 7 will i lose my library?
No, but the library format has changed, so if you don't have a backup, you'll need to import everything again, which erases data such as playlists and ratings.

  • I need to uninstall/reinstall will I lose the songs I didn't purchase through ITunes?

    For some reason I am getting a message to uninstall and reinstall ITunes.  Not all the songs in my library were purchased at the ITunes store.  Will I lose these songs during the uninstall/reinsall process? 

    no your music files arnt stored in itunes so uninstalling and reinstalling wont delete them.
    If anything you might have to locate the files and reopen thim in itunes to put them back in your library. If thats the case...this should help you find your music files to put them back.
    Where are my iTunes files located?

    See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. Your library should be safe, but you ought to back it up anyway.

    Hi Reeve7,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    In Windows 8, you should make sure you can find your iTunes library files, and you may want to backup to a different location. After that, reinstalling should fix the problem.
    Good luck,

  • 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,

  • Firefox crashes within a minute everytime I open it. If I reinstall will I lose my bookmarks?

    For the past three days, Firfox crashes within a minute to five minutes everytime I open it. However, when I open "organize bookmarks," It crashes immediately. I just want to find a way to save all my bookmarks. But I cannot even get Firefox to stay open long enough for this. If I delete my current version and reinstall, will I lose my bookmarks. also what do you suggest I do. I love Firefox and am really upset that I may no longer be able to use it.
    Thanks, RJS

    Does anyone think this is a problem with the newest update of Firefox? I never had this problem before.

  • "iTunes was not installed correctly - reinstall" Will I lose my library?

    iTunes error 7. Windows error 1114. iTunes WON'T open at all.  Can't sync my iPhone or iPod, but more worryingly - I've hundreds of tracks in lots of albums on my iTunes, many of which I've recorded myself live; my accompaniments from Sibelius;  rehearsal CDs on playlists for the groups I conduct.  HELP!!!  I can't lose these!   If I reinstall from scratch, will I lose my present library? Will all my iPhone backup have gone?  (I don't think I clicked to update iTunes.  It seems to have done this of it's own accord)

    Thanks Niel,  Good to know I won't lose it all, but I can't back it up first as I can't open the programme.  Just hoping it's backed up somewhere else on my hard drive.  iCloud only backs up my purchases.

  • TS1363 if I uninstall i-tunes then reinstall, will I lose my music?

    I have a new ipod nano (gen 7). When I plug it in to my computer, windows recognizes it, but i-tunes does not. I updated everything and tried the recommended fixes but nothing is working. The only thing I did not try was uninstalling and reinstalling i-tunes. I am concerned that if I uninstall, I will lose my music. Can I uninstall and reinstall without losing my music?

    The music will remain. Back it up anyway.

  • If I uninstall LR will I lose the photos already uploaded. I need to uninstall to reinstall from a trial version

    If I uninstall LR that I had as a trial in order to reinstall a paid version will I lose the photos already uploaded?

    Your photos and catalog-of-adjustments will remain intact because they are stored in a separate location than the program, itself, which you’ll be replacing. 
    A reinstall shouldn’t be necessary unless your trial is CC LR and you paid for a serial-number LR or vice-versa.
    For the serial-number LR it’s best to download the very latest version since if you don’t it’ll ask you do update, again, anyway.  The latest LR 5.7.1 version is here:

  • Because of warning  I received for my iTunes (it would not start up) MSVCR80dill missing, if I remove the program and reinstall will I lose the music I already had and purchased?

    I am somewhat computer illiterate but I have a question.  I have had iTunes for several years and never had a problem.  I occassionally get prompts to update and those only take about a minute and they're done.  Last week, the download could not complete even after I had tried 2 or 3 times.  I just let it go thinking I would try again when I had more time.  Yesterday I tried to access iTunes on my Windows 7 and got a message, " could not start iTunes, MSVCR80 dill is missing.  Please reload iTunes to fix the problem.  I tried several times but I continue to get the same message without iTunes coming up.  I talked to a computer geek today who told me I should go to my control panel and uninstall iTunes and reinstall it.  My question.  I have placed many albums of music and purchased many songs from the iTunes shop which I am concerned will go missing or deleted if I uninstall and reinstall.  Will I lose my library if I do this?  What precautions can I take to make sure everything comes back as it was?

    CS5, it took seven hour's and when the "do you accept  the term's" popped up,
    I clicked it and another page came up saying  to close explorer and it was
    not open (I kept clicking and it kept popping up I  couldn't make it leave
    that page so I canceled the whole thing) I will  give the link that you sent

  • If my itunes is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled, will I lose all my songs? What do I need to do to keep everything?

    I cannot open itunes.  When I click on it a message pops up saying that itunes is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.  If I reinstall it will I lose all my songs?  I have over 2,000 songs that I cannot lose!  What do I need to do to fix it and keep all my songs?

    Aha, a somewhat different question. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • If i uninstall pages, will i lose all my pages documents?

    Im having a problem with my pages application. So i want to uninstall it and reinstall it. If I do this, will I lose all my pages documents?

    As long as you have saved the documents somewhere sensible on your Hard Drive, like in Documents you will be fine.
    Back them up anyway to another location.
