Will I lose my itunes music if I restore a blank, new ipod?
I have a newly refurbished 8GB ipod nano. It is formatted for a Mac. It has no music on it yet. If I choose to "restore" it for windows, will I lose all my itunes music, or just, theoretically what is on my nano?
Hi there,
I just mistakenly restore my ipod, as such all my musics in Ipod have been erased. Unfortunately, I don't keep music in my library/itune. How can I restore my music to my ipod? Thanks

Updated ipod last night and now when turned on tells me to coonect to itunes (picture of usb cable with arrow to itunes). I can't connect to itunes on computer because apple application support can't be found. Tells me to uninstall then reinstall itunes. Will I lose all my music or is it still on my ipod?
Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall doesn't touch your content. (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times in case of disasters.)

I downloaded version 11 on itunes and updated my ipod to os6, when I try to open itunes now, it says it downloaded incorrectly and won't open. It says to reinstall itunes. Will I lose my whole music library if I reinstall itunes?
you will not loose your content at all. It is still sitting in your hard drive even if you uninstall itunes.
Once itunes will be reinstalled , it will re-sync your stuff on your hard drive -
Hi, I need to re-format my hard drive, as it has a virus and is corrupted- so I will lose all my data including my itunes software. I guess I will need to reinstall itunes again - but if I do this will, I lose all the music that I have bought or imported into my library? How do I reinstall my library/playlists to the new itunes?
ThanksMake a backup of your media and other important files.
Just to be safe, make a backup of your entire iTunes directory.
Restore computer or do whatever it is you need to do.
Restore your media and other important documents.
Install iTunes.
Try using search next time... this gets asked way too frequently. -
I have iTunes installed on a laptop that I use for work, but it's owned by my employer. A new policy my have them deleting iTunes from the machine. If that happens, will I lose all my music? I am an iCloud user and pay for iTunes match.
If they just delete iTunes, the music files should still be there. I suggest making a backup of them though. Locate your iTunes folder (The one that contains your library file) and just copy the whole thing to your Documents folder or wherever you like (Just not in the same directory of the original folder otherwise the computer will get confused and could confuse your iTunes library). Then you will have a backup of all your music, plus if you purchased it from iTunes, you will still have it linked to your Apple ID so you can re-download them to any computer with iTunes on it when you feel like it.

My itunes match subscription will be expiring soon. Will I lose all my music if I choose not to subscribe again?
Hi,
If all your music is in your itunes library on your computer, you will not lose that music.
If you do not have the music on your computer and stream the music you will lose all your music except for previous itunes purchases. Likewise you will no longer have access to match music.

If I make a new iTunes account will I lose my app music etc from my old account
If I make a new iTunes account will I lose my app music etc from my old account
1. No.
2. Not as long as you're still syncing it with the same iTunes library. If you meant iTunes libraries and not iTunes Store accounts to begin with, you need to use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes.

Once you are in Recovery Mode, it's too late to do any backup. I am afraid you are going to lose your data.

I cannot open my i-Tunes folder and error message R6034 says I must re-install i-Tunes. If I do this will I lose all my music?
See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
Your library should be fine.
You ought to back it up routinely anyway.
