Okay well I had to restore my computer beacause it was having a couple of problems. And right before I restored it, my little sister wanted to dload some songs--and so I did for her at the itunes music store. Then I restored the whole computer to an earlier time, and now its fine-I hope. But when I clicked on itunes icon, this message came up- "itunes cannot runbecause some of the files are missing. Please reinstall itunes" But if I reinstall it, my sister would lose all her songs, right? So is there a way to retrieve them back or no? I'm sorry if this is a double post of what the other girl wrote-sorry again. please help(:

mmmm.....you can try installing itunes again without uninstalling it so it kinda be like updating it. the only way i can see u losing the songs is if u actually uninstall itunes first.

You don't lose songs if you uninstall iTunes. Just uninstall and reinstall iTunes, then re-import your music. The easiest way to do this is to drag the folder that contains all your music files into the iTunes window.

but the songs are on itunes, so wouldnt all the songs be on there? If I reinstall itunes? Because I do buy it off their itunes music store. So it wouldnt be in another folder would it?

No, music files are stored independently of the files for the iTunes application.
