Ummm try Google or Apple ;)

 

Otherwise just uninstall iTunes, go to apple.com and download the latest version from there and install it.

Your best bet is to do as Ryzza says and uninstall iTunes then reinstall it.

hmmmm i'll try that when i get a chance. i wont lose my music though right?

[Ryzza5]

No. Uninstalling any media player program has never resulted in losing music/videos.

You won't lose your music (.mp3 or whatever) files, however you may lose any custom playlists, album artwork, that sort of thing. If I were you I'd export your library so that you don't have to input all the music information back into iTunes. Click "File, Library, Export Library..." and that should save your current iTunes Library.

Isn't all that info kept in your user profile, which isn't touched by the iTunes installation? I've moved people's profile from one computer to a new one at work, then installed iTunes on the new PC and it picks everything up straight away (put it this way, no-ones complained of losing anything).

Well if you buy EVERYTHING off the iTunes store then you can move files wherever you want (I think it's up to five computers). Unless now theres a way to move music and video file information obtained by other means that I don't know of...

[Ryzza5]

That's 5 computers at a time, just authorize/de-authorize your account on computers as needed. As this is the same computer then there's no issue.

 

I like how I'm helping on this subject despite never wanting to buy an Apple product :p
