What will happen to my itunes if i reset my computer

i wannt to reset my laptop but how will i be able to get back all my itunes info or what will happen to it all

Locate it in the Windows Explorer and drag it to an external drive. If you're backing up an iTunes library, organize it and deauthorize the computer first.

  • What will happen to my iTunes account if I restore my computer to its original factory settings?

    I want to restore my computer to its original factory settings but I used this computer to setup my iTunes account and have purchased/downloaded music from the iTunes store.  When I reset my computer what will happen to my account and the music I've purchased, will it be gone?  I have an iPod shuffle that my music is synced to.

    Backup the entire library with this User Tip. The same tool can be used to back up other personal data.
    Deauthorize the computer in iTunes before restoring to factory settings.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Install iTunes.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.

  • What will happen if i don't restore from backup?

    what will happen to my itunes if i dont restore my ipod from my backup?

    Nothing happens to iTunes. However, if you don't restore the iPod Touch then your Touch will be restored to it's "as new" condition but with upgraded firmware (if that's what you are going to do.)

  • HT3819 What if one device breaks down? What would happen to the itunes libraries in the other linked devices?

    For example, I turned on Home Sharing for two computers in my home. Therefore, the two itunes libraries contain the same data. However, if one computer got a virus and all its data has been wiped out, including my music, films on iTunes - basically, if the computer just broke down....What would happen to the iTunes library in the other computer? Would all its data be wiped out as well?
    Thanks

    Home Sharing lets you stream or copy media from one library to another. If you stream media only the source computer has a copy of the data. If that machine died you would lose the data. If you copy the media across then you have a backup. I don't offhand know if Home Sharing lets you copy ripped CDs as well as store purchases as I've never used it.
    I would recommend you have one master library that you sync all of your devices to and you back that up! Other computers can then stream content or you can make local copies.

    Highly unlikely that it says any such thing.
    Try telling us exactly what version of iTunes is installed and what if any messages appears when trying to update it.
    What Operating System is the computer running?

  • If I have converted my purchased iTunes songs to a lower bit rate what will happen when I join iTunes match? Will they match up or will these be stored as duplicates of the same song?

    If I have converted my purchased iTunes songs to a lower bit rate what will happen when I join iTunes match? Will they match up or will these be stored as duplicates of the same song?
    I ask because I primarily use my work laptop which has limited space so I usually convert my purchases to 160k from 256k in order to save space. I want to sign up for iTunes Match but I'd like to know before I do so I can understand how I will have to set up my library.

    What I may do is start a brand new library there, copy my tracks from my work laptop using Home Share and then the script to get things in sync before starting over again there too.
    Why create a new library? Just add the tracks from the laptop to the existing library on the Mac.

    I was just hoping to hear definitively whether or not there was some sort of intelligence built into iTunes Match that would match these up...
    How do you mean? If you down-convert purchased tracks you've fundamentally changed the files so iTunes can no longer recoginize them as "purchased." And, indeed, they no longer are since they are brand new files. Of course these new files will only be "matched" or "uploaded."

  • What will happen to my purchased movies/TV shows if iTunes removed them from the store?

    I'm honestly sorry to bother you. I tried to google this and cloudn't find a good answer.
    What will happen to my purchased movies/TV shows (that I haven't downloaded on my devices) if iTunes removed them from the store? Will I still be able to watch/download them from iCloud?
    I'm trying to buy all my favourite movies and TV shows without downloading them, to keep them in iCloud that I can access from all my devices whenever I want, but I'm scared that iTunes will remove them from my iCloud if something happens to the contract between them and the production company. Should I worry about that?
    Thank you for taking the time to read this. I appreciate it.
    Best,
    Faisal

    Thank you for taking the time to explain this.
    But the thing is, I don't want to download ANYTHING because I don't have storage. That's why I want to buy them and watch them through iCloud (on my Mac iTunes) without downloading.
    I know that it's safer to download them. But does "safer" mean that iTunes might not let me access my purchases through iCloud?

  • What will happen to the organization of library if I removed the songs from windows explorer? Will iTunes automatically updated without all the deleted songs, or it will indicate 'missing location'? Any fast ways to clear this 'missing location' songs?

    What will happen to the organization of library if I removed the songs from windows explorer?
    Background: I found it easier to identify duplicated songs in windows explorer as the songs will be renamed .... 1.mp3, thus enabling me to remove the duplicated songs; unlike in iTunes where I know the trick of showing duplicate songs, but you don't know which one is the one with 1 at the end of the file name.
    Will iTunes automatically update the library without all the deleted songs, or will it indicate 'missing location' songs? Any fast ways to clear this 'missing location' songs by highlighting them all and delete all at one go?
    Thanks.

    One way is to use iTunes Folder Watch with its option to check for dead tracks on start up.
    Another option is with a set of Lost & Found playlists.
    Lost & Found
    Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist. You can delete them all with a Ctrl-A to select them and Shift-Delete to remove them.
    You can then delete the Lost & Found playlists.

  • If i download itunes 11 what will happen to my current itunes?

    I just got an Ipad and am being told that ITunes 10 is not compatible. It wont allow me to upgrade ITunes, and says I must download newer version. If I download the newer version what will happen to my current ITunes? Will the music files be automatically transfered?

    Possibly nothing
    Make a backup before upgrading.

    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If under warranty, as you say (the warranty is transferable) and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost.
