Will i lose my music?

if i update will i lose my music

In short, no, you can even uninstall iTUnes and not loose any music or playlist.
It is smart to make a backup tho incase your PC goes to H E Double Hockey sticks tho. you can make a back up many ways, on CD/DVD using iTunes or backing up to a external harddrive

    Hi texasslagle,
    It sounds like you are having issues installing iTunes on your Windows 7 PC, a frustrating situation I am sure.
    There is an article that you may want to use to try to complete your install here -

  • If I uninstall iTunes and reinstall it, will I lose my music files?

    Hi
    My Ipod touch (2nd Gen) is not being recognised in itunes. I have gone through the ipod touch assistant, and this has made no difference.
    Next try is to uninstall itunes and re-install it. However...will I lose my music library when I do this?
    I am also having problems with my external back-up drive which has now stopped me opening it up (I have had it for a year), as it says "I don't have permission to see it's contents" and "files can't be copied onto the backup disk because it appears to be "read-only" - so I am loathe to uninstall itunes if I lose all my music etc....
    Thanks for your help
    Simon

    You will not lose any music..
    However, you do have a current backup of the iTunes folder and all other important info on your hard drive, correct?

    Your library should be fine, but you ought to backup routinely anyway.

  • Hey - if I restore my iPhone will I lose the music I've purchased from it?

    Hey - if I restore my iPhone will I lose the music I've purchased from it?

    A restore will erase your iTunes media but you can re download iTunes purchases without being charged again.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    "With iTunes 10.3 and iOS 4.3.3 or later, you can download your previous purchases directly to your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or computer.1"

  • Will I lose my music if I uninstall my itunes

    My itunes says it's corrupt or not working properly I keep trying to download itunes all over but I'm worried if I uninstall my itunes will I lose the music I have.

    No, keep your library and you'll be fine. Just go to Control Panel > Uninstall a program
    Uninstall everything with Apple, then reinstall the latest version. When you open it, you should see your original music files from your library.

  • HT204074 will i lose the music on my decive if i enable itunes match

    Will I lose the music on my iphone if I enable itunes match?

    You will not "lose" your music, since:
    1) it is already stored in your computer
    or
    2) you have it available from the itunes store, if you bought the tracks there.
    These two methods are the only options to get music into the phone, so you can't lose a single track.
    However, if you chose to enable iTunes match in your device, it will erase the music that is already stored in your phone, and you will have to load it from the cloud. I assume this is the answer that you are looking for. Hope this helps.

  • HT1925 Will I lose my music library when I am required to "uninstall" I-tunes ?

    Why do I have to "uninstall" I-tunes for it to open? Will I lose my music library when required to do this?

    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.)

  • Will I lose my music if iTunes says its corrupt to uninstall then reinstall

    Will I lose my music if my iTunes is corrupt and needs to be uninstall and then reinstalled

    Hi Amylu6274,
    If you need to remove and reinstall iTunes on your Windows machine, you may find the following article useful:
    Apple Support: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
    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.

  • Will I lose my music if I uninstall?

    I ran update to 12.1 but I get error messages,ran the repair didn't help.If I uninstall will I lose my music.

    If you uninstall iTunes you music should still stay on your computer as an iTunes folder in Music.
    So if you uninstall iTunes and then install it again your music will not be deleted

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  You should never update anything without making sure that your backup copy is current, just in case
