No. Your media should remain. However, if you do not authorize your new installation using the same itunes account you will have issues. Just make sure to deauthorize the previous itunes install before uninstalling. Hope that helps. Good luck.
Back up itunes i have a hard drive copy and cd copy also u may loose you play list id make sure itunes was updated the reason i backed up im in a view itunes will end up cloud only for most then they may up the fees when there sure most have uploadedits cool u can locate itune on any divice but when anyone has paid for a single album video why should u have to pay for it again this is just my view
I have done this many times. The answer is NO. However, I have two hard drives and all tracks are first stored on both in folders of different names and then, with iTunes selected as the default player to ope tracks from those folders, I click onto each new track and it then opens in iTunes and becomes one of the iTunes library. I don't think it is essential to do it this way but it gives me the advantage of knowing my over 1,000 tracks are safe and that if iTunes fails, I can go into one of the original folders, select another program to open tracks with and still enjoy them.
Each time I reload iTunes there are some tracks that are OK but others seem to have lost their link with the other folders as 'source' so I have to click on them in the other folder to return them to iTunes. Having said that, every time iTunes issue an update, they load the new then remove the old. Perhaps your safe route is to install the new before removing the old and perhaps this will be done automatically - but first, open iTunes, click on HELP and in the drop-down click on 'Check for updates' If there is one, go for it as you will get your re-install and removal of old in a safe manner.
Your library is held within your user files at user/music/iTunes. So as long as you don't delete that your library will be safe after uninstalling and re installing. Uninstalling does not itself delete that file or folder. :)

if you synch it yes it will wipe it out - you can get software to back your ipod back to your computer so I would personally delete all the play lists and re do it. your music will be in my documents --> music --> itunes so you can re add it that way and re sort the playlists.
If its on mac os then it will be under your music folder ( macintosh hd --> users --> your username --> music --> iTunes
It may be that your itunes library file may have gotten corrupted so once you have gotten it sorted out close down itunes and go back into your music folder and itunes folder and make a backup copy of your itunes library files.
Assuming your not moving your music files around in side of the music or itunes folder it should be fine.

SOURCE: Recently downloaded upgrades for apple/itunes.after
iiTunes.exe has been set to run in compatibility mode for an older
version of Windows. For best result, turn off compatibility mode of
iTunes before you open it.
> 1. Make sure iTunes isn't running.
2. Click Start, type regedit, then press Enter.
3. Navigate to this Registry location:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers
4; Its better you clean/repair Windows registry with RegInOut.
4. Look in the main pane for a key that refers to iTunes. If you find one, delete it, then exit the Registry.
5. Start iTunes. The offending message should be gone!
open Itunes in the top left hand corner select file from the drop down list you will see Library click to open then you should see back up to disk then more options back up entire library to disk
Please Follow the steps
Step 1: Launch iTunes and plug in your iPhone.
Step 2: Create a new "playlist" in iTunes. Name it whatever you want-say, "My iPhone Playlist" or something like that.
Step 3: Drag the songs you want from your iTunes library to your new playlist-in this case, "My iPhone Playlist"
Step 4: Click on your iPhone and go to the Music tab. "Sync Music" should already be checked. Now click on the button "Selected playlists", then tick off "My iPhone Playlist" (or whatever your playlist is named).
Step 5. Sync your iPhone and when it's done, the songs from "My iPhone Playlist" should now be on your iPhone. If you want to make any changes to your mp3 library on your iPhone, you'll have to modify the songs within your playlist, then re-sync again. Yes, I know it can be a pain.
