What happens to library when uninstalling iTunes? Please!!

Silly question, I know...
But as I'm experiencing the same problem as everyone else after updating to I Tunes 6 (computer crash + ipod not recognized by itunes), I want to uninstall and reinstall it...
So, what happens to all my music files after I uninstall itunes?? Will they still be there after reinstall or lost forever??
Thanks for your answers.

I always wondered if my music would be gone if I uninstalled iTunes. It does not erase you're music.
This might not be exactly the same problem but lots of people (myself included) had problems after installing iTunes 6.0. I did the following and it finally installed correctly.
I went to
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301
and downloaded the Cleanup utility near the bottom of that page. When it installs on your machine it will scan your computer for every installer every ran on you're machine. Only select iTunes and Qtime and delete those 2 installers. Then I went to add/remove programs and removed iTunes and Qtime. Prior to this Qtime would not unistall but now it did. Funny thing was there was no prompting by windows once I hit "remove/repair" in the "add/remove programs" function.
Then rerun the iTunes 6.0.1 update. That had been failing to install Qtime prior to this but now it installed and I see all my music again and iTunes works. Let me know if this does the trick, I hope so.

    Windows right?
    Likely your not the administor any more, the botnet is.
    Check on this site really quick if your part of a botnet
    http://botnetchecker.com/
    All clear? Hopefully. Backup your files to a external drive, cd or dvd, USB keye etc off your computer.
    Run the sfx file on this site and it will burn to a cd.

    Next hit your BIO's key and set the cd to boot first, run the scanner and see what it pops up.
    If your all clear then create another Admin, transfer your files over from the first Admin.
    See if that works, eventually when your totally over to the new Admin, delete the old one.
    If you can't create a new Admin, find out who locked your machine down, like your parents or it's a school computer?
    Likely installed spyware or "nanyware" to watch you.
    Hope that works.

  • What happens to objects when you redeclare a new object?

    ... and is there a more proper way of "deleting" them from memory, or is it a case of waiting until the garbage collector in java sweeps them up?
    i.e.
    private CustomObjectType myObject;
    public final void myMethod() {
    myObject = new CustomObjectType("I am the first object");
    // do some temporary work with myObject
    /// now I need to do more work with another temporary object, so just replace the "link"
    myObject = new CustomObjectType("I am a second object");
    Is it better to declare new variables to hold this second object?
    Should a person declare the object to be null when no longer required?
    Do I ever need to worry about this, does the garbage collector sort out references for me?
    (Please go easy, still learning and don't really need to know this right now but I'm curious! :)

    What happens to objects when you redeclare a new object?If you go:
    Dog myDog = new Dog();
    and then go:
    Dog myDog = new Dog();
    you are replacing the first reference to Dog() with another one. I don't think it would make sense to do this because it is redundant.
    But if you go:
    static Dog myDog = new Dog();
    and then go:
    static Dog myDog = new Dog();
    then then second one will be ignored because the first one already assigned Dog() to myDog.. so the second one won't replace the first one - it will just be ignored or generate an error.
    is there a more proper way of "deleting" them from memory, or is it a case of waiting until the garbage collector in java sweeps them up?In c and c++ you have to think about when the life of an object ends and destroy the object to prevent a memory leak. But in Java the garbage collector takes this task on if a certain amount of memory is used. If you don't use a lot of memory the gc won't bother and the objects will be destroyed when you exit the program.
    You can use:
    finalize(){
    // insert code to be executed before the gc cleans up
    and if you call System.gc() (which you probably won't need to do) then the code in the finalize() method will run first e.g. to erase a picture from the screen before collecting the object.
    private CustomObjectType myObject;public final void myMethod() {
    myObject = new CustomObjectType("I am the first object");
    // do some temporary work with myObject
    /// now I need to do more work with another temporary object, so just replace the "link"
    myObject = new CustomObjectType("I am a second object");
    you could do:
    public class CustomObjectType{
        //this constructs an instance of the class using a string of your choice
        CustomObjectType(String str) {
            System.out.println(str);
        static void main(String[] args){
            CustomObjectType myObject = new CustomObjectType("I am the first object");//  This sends the constructor the string you want it to print
            CustomObjectType myObject2 = new CustomObjectType("I am the second object");//  This sends the constructor the string you want it to print

    I just started it and it helps a lot. Maybe u could borrow it from the library.. good luck!

  • What happens to RandomAccessFile when seek operation fails?

    Hi,
    I wonder what happens to RAF when the seek() op fails - does the file remain open?
    I guess i should close it if fails, what is the best thing to do - protect or catch exception?
    Am i wrong about it?
    Thanks.

    I wonder what happens to RAF when the seek() op fails - does the file remain open?In the absence of evidence or documentation to the contrary that is what you should assume.
    I guess i should close it if failsWhy? All it means is that that offset doesn't exist within the file.

  • What happens in OBAW when a record in OLTP is updated ?

    Hello,
    I wonder what happens in OBAW when a record in OLTP is updated ?
    I mean... I've ETLed the record a couple of days ago, and it is there in OBAW. Now for some reason the OLTP is changed...
    Pls... when we do the new ETL (incremental) does that record in OBAW gets updated ?
    BTW... the OLTP in reference is EBS.
    Txs. for any help.

    That is where "Prune Days" in the Execution Plan Parameters comes into play. Data which has been updated in the source system since "Prune Days" ago is re-extracted.

    Yeah, you can download them from Apple and from other sources. But then you have to add them to iTunes manually, you have to write (or copy & paste from somewhere else) descriptions, and jump through other hoops to get the same end result that used to be one-click-easy from within iTunes directly. Unless you don't care about having them neat and organized and stuff like that.
    Add me to the list of disappointed trailer junkies.
    This is an unfortunate side affect and agree that it is cumbersome if you wish to include all the extra info iTunes used to provide. I suggest sending your disappointment to apple via the iTunes feedback channel at http://www.apple.com/feedback

  • Systematic import of library when starting itunes 6.0.1.3

    well, I am using windows 2000.
    I have 7.5GB of music stored in itunes and for some reason itunes imports the library every time I launch the software; Every time I start itunes I get a message saying that "itunes library.itl" does not seem to be a valid file, and itunes then creates a file called "itunes library (damaged).itl"...
    I am not using podcasts, and everything was ok until I decided to move from 4.5GB to 7.5GB of music and 2212 songs.
    I uninstalled itunes 6.0.1.3 and re-installed it, but the problem is still there, so I assume it has something to do with the size of the 2 files used by itunes.
    "itunes music library.xml" is 3,096KB and "itunes library.itl" is 2,272KB.
    Has anyone else experienced the same issue?

    I've determined that iTunes has to be the topmost active window when importing, otherwise it will crash consistantly. And I though Microsoft was bad...
    iTunes for the Mac works fine though.

  • What happens to replicat when a checkpoint table is accidentally removed ?

    Please let me know what happens when a active checkpoint table is removed?
    Does the replicat abend or does it pick from where it left off by reading the trail file.

    Hi,
    Oracle GoldenGatge keeps track of the details of the transactions that are replicated by two methods.
    1. Firstly and always GoldenGate writes to a checkpoint file which resides in the DIRCHK directory.If this Checkpoint File is lost or removed then GoldenGate loses track of your process.
    2. Optionally, you can create a CHECKPOINTTABLE during the creation of the Replicat Process. This Checkpoint table can be specified Globally in the ./GLOBALS parameter or separate checkpoint tables can be created for each processes.
    But Oracle highly recommends to create the Checkpoint table.
    When replicat starts, it will compare the checkpoint file with the checkpoint table. This has been brought because, in the event of failure, the checkpoint file and checkpoint table are referred or read by these processes and it gets started from the point of failure avoiding the re-capture and re-apply of the transactions.
    An another useful thing in using the Checkpoint table is, If you stop the Replicat process and flashback the target database and then start the replicat process again, you do not have to change or modify anything at the GoldenGate level. The Replicat process will just pick up as if you also flashed back the GoldenGate inspite of having all the trail files. This is because your Checkpoint Table will also get flashed back and the replicat process reads the checkpointtable and works accordingly.

  • What happened to my apps in iTunes

    I did a clean install on my MacPro with Lion. Mine is one of the machines not supported by Mountain Lion. Before I cleaned out the drive, I cloned it, so I have everything on another drive installed in the same MacPro.
    My iTunes Library was over a decade old and a giant mish-mash of folders nested inside of folders. Easy enough, I just downloaded my library from my iTunes Match account. It's my iPhone and iPad apps I'm curious about. Obviously with a new library and clean drive, I would not have any of my old apps in the new iTunes. I figured that when I attached my iPhone and iPad for a sync, those apps on the iOS devices would just reverse sync those apps back to iTunes. This doesn't happen. I just a a few apps, I added since the fresh computer.
    How do I get all of those apps back into iTunes?

    Obviously u remove itunes and setup it again. U shouldn't setup it in windows partision
    There are some steps u should do :
    1-u should go to ipad icon show in itunes and right click on it there icon called (transfer purchases) this will take ur apps on ur devices to itunes
    2-u should backup ur device by itunes or icloud
    3-go to window where U can see ur devices apps on itunes. u should sync ur application with ituns it will remove ur apps and setup it again
    4-u will restore ur device from ur backup (step 2)
    And goodluck man

  • What happens to files when they are deleted on the iPhone?

    When you delete files like videos, podcasts or emails directly on the iPhone by swiping it and hitting the "Delete" button what happens to these files? Are they instantly removed from disk or they go to some sort of "Recycle Bin"?
    Do you know that bar on iTunes showing how your iPhone disk is being used, with "Audio, Video, Photos, Apps, Other and Free"?
    I wonder if having more than 4Gb on the "Other" category is related to this practice in any way?

    Other includes data such as 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app, email stored or cached locally including email attachments, Safari history, cookies, and cache, notes, voice memos, visual voicemail, contacts, calendar events, etc.

  • What happens to table when file is transfering ?

    There is code in Z-program which puts a 'Z' in the blocked field of ZCCOD whenever a file is transmitted.
    I mean file is transfering from SAP to mainframes
    Can anybody tell what happens if the table is in <b>edit mode</b> (e.g., via SM30) at the time of transmit?  Do the changes get lost or do they get queued up or what?
    Could you please you please explan in detail. You correct(no guessings please ) explanation is highly appreciated.

    The Z-Program will update the database irrespective of the table being edited in SM30. The user won’t see the updated data until he comes out of the existing transaction and goes back again.
    <b>Nothing is queued up.</b>
    Also if the program updates the data and if the user editing the table in SM30 saves his changes, the changes made by the Z-program will be overwritten.
    The best way to avoid this problem is to add a check in your Z-program. Use the function ENQUEUE_READ to check if the table key the program is trying to update is locked and perform further processing.

  • Tech Comm Suite 3.5 trial updated my licensed Acrobat 9.5 to X, what happens 9.5 when trial is over?

    After installing Technical Communications Suite 3.5 trial version, it updated my Acrobat Pro 9.5 to version X. What happens to my licensed version 9.5 when trial expires? How do I get it back?

    While that is a good answer to my question; it is not a good solution to my situation since it is a corporate license that has to be reinstalled by our IT department. That is a very cumbersome process and puts me, as an end-user testing this new product, in a poor situation and effectively shuts down my production for an unspecified time frame when the trial expires.
