Hello turpinx2,
Uninstalling and re-installing iTunes will not cause a loss of media, because it is stored elsewhere on your computer's disk (In your case, probably under "My Music" from under "My Documents). I have done it a few times myself as necessary, and never had any problems.
This article should assist you in uninstalling iTunes if necessary.

My iPhone used to work in iTunes but quit working. I checked my USB portal and it works with other devices. I also uninstalled and re-installed iTunes. I added updates to my phone and re-booted it. I am not sure what else to do. My iPhone also locked in vertical position and no longer goes to horizontal.

Maybe it would have been a better idea to confirm that iTunes is supported in Windows 8 before buying a computer with that Operating System.
There will be a new version of iTunes released this month... no one forced you to upgrade prior to a supported version of iTunes being released.
Like the fact that you just called most of us stupid there -

Ok so I cant open my Itunes due to Windows Error 2 and the message says to uninstall and re-install Itunes but I'm pretty sure that would wipe the library right? Is there any way to fix the problem and keep my library?
Hi neffn!
I have an article for you that can help you go through that process of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. If you have Windows 7, you will want to see this article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
and if you are using Windows XP, you will want to reference this article:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
Note that, as it says in those articles:
iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

Get a message on Itunes to uninstall and re-install Itunes since " Apple Application Support is required" Will this cause me to lose all records? Is there some to avoid this have tried to repair No LUCK
Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
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 AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.) -
Due to a program error, I need to uninstall and re-install Itunes. While following the instructions provided for removing the program, I found that Apple Mobile Device Support will not uninstall. The program removal begins as normal but when the completion bar almost reachs the end with time remaining - 2 seconds, the bar starts to move in the opposite direction and the time reamaining increases before the window closes on its own. And Apple mobile Device Support is still on my program list.
Does anyone know why the program won't let me remove it? Any suggestions?See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

Itunes weill no longer open. If I uninstall and re-install itunes will I lose the music from the itunes library?
Hello,
All of your content is stored outside of iTunes in the event that the program needs to be removed or reinstalled. Take a look at the article below for instructions on how to properly remove and reinstall iTunes.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Notes:
iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up.

These steps may take a significant amount of time to complete, depending on your system.

Uninstall and Re Install ITunes
I have to uninstall and re install Itunes.
I've haven't had to do this before, and I'm not sure what happens to my library if I do.
I have the library on an external drive (I learned after the last hard drive crash not to keep it on the c drive.)
Does uninstalling the software (or reinstalling it) wipe the library? I have 900 song on there, for Chrissake.
Anyone have an answer to this.
Or somewhere you can point me that there is an answer.Well, I tried uninstalling, then re installing.
Library is ok, but I still get this message: The registry settings used by the ITunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please re install ITunes.
I've seen posted at a number of forums that this is an ITunes problem. I didn't install other cd burning software; I did uninstall one, though. Never the less, I tried using the suggestions at this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2372?viewlocale=en_US.
I discovered I don't have upper or lower filters entries. If that's the problem, it doesn't seem to affect anything but ITunes.
And if it is the problem, how does one correct it? -

Anybody?

Itunes is asking that I edit payment info, but will not accept any changes to allow me to purchase music? I have changed cards, reentered information, uninstalled and re-installed Itunes. Nothing is working, what do I need to do?
See HT203206: iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues.
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 the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

I have lost the bonjour file, can I download it without having to uninstall and re-install iTunes?
just go to www.itunes.com and reinstall, the installer will ask you if you want to install or repair, select repair and that will install Bonjour for you.

I touch will not charge or show up on the computer. It charges on the wall charger. I uninstalled and re-installed itunes and I also restarted the itouch and the computer. What next?
Play it safe with the charging. Use the wall charger for at least an hour and then connect to the computer. If iTunes still denies that it exists, go here:

There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site. If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.
