no. you're music is still saved on your  hard drive, and the new program will just owrite over the older program. It will keep all your preferences and lists and stuff, but will add more features.

If you told iTunes to "organize all my music", then all your music will be in your "My Music" folder in your "My Documents" directory. From there you can simply copy and paste all of it to your next computer. Install iTunes on that computer and tell it to organize your music. It'll find it and boom, all moved. :)\n\nIf you bought music off of iTunes though...there might be problems moving it. can't hurt to try though.

you just right click the iPod icon and click update.  then it'll update all the songs for you :]  or as you stated it'll download all the songs from your iTunes to your iPod

Yes, just uncheck them in the iTunes library and they will not be transferred to your iPod, or if they have already been transferred, uncheck them and they will be deleted from your iPod.

itunes is good ... free services are there but they might catch you ... one better software is limewire .. check it out at your own risk

No. The installed update on your computer would automatically apply to your older version and replace it, I think.

Unfortunately not....and if someone tells you to use the restore feature on your computer they are smoking crack!!!! that has absolutely no affect on documents or music files! Sorry!!

You can download iPod.util from the internet and it will take the songs off of your iPod and put them back into iTunes.  You'll lose your folders/playlists, but you'll have all your songs.

Well, you should disable the Limewire player from playing the songs. You can do this in the preferences menu.\nThen all you have to do is to click the downloaded song and it will be added to your iTunes library.

No reason to trash them, just to download the latest.  I would reccommend keeping them all, as who knows how tightly the upgrade is tied to your old version.\n\nIf your add remove programs will let you remove the 1.4.2 stuff, and leave 5.0 intact, then I would say that is your best bet to go.\n\nRemoving them all, just to install a new version really won't save you that much space in the long run, and for the hassles involved with all of that work, I say leave it.  It's not hurting any thing.

The safest thing to do is create a seperate folder on your hard drive.  Such as in your documents a folder called music already exists.  Copy your songs from the itunes folder, to the music folder in your documents.  Then uninstall itunes.  The uninstall can only take away files that were installed by itunes.  Since whatever folder your music was downloaded to by default was created by itunes, it may be possible that if the music is in that folder at the time of the uninstall, it may wipe them off your hd.  Transferring them to a seperate folder by a simple copy and paste will eliminate that possibility.  99 percent of the time though the uninstall will ask you if you would like to keep sertain folders such as your download folder for itunes.

You can't delete it directly off the ipod but you can open itunes and delete the song from the playlist you are using. then just update the ipod

go to\nMy Documents> My Music> iTunes\n\nBurn the "iTunes" folder to a disk, then simply copy the files to the other computer.\n\nHope this helps!
