itunes
I wanted to completely remove itunes from my computer because I am having iphone problems.
So I did just that. I didn't just delete it, I went to the uninstall items, where it brings everything up in a list, and I selected itunes from there.
when I downloaded itunes again, everything was just as it was, with all my songs, applications, etc.
How can i delete itunes and get everything else to go with it?
The problem I'm having at the moment is when I connect my iphone, itunes doesn't recognise it, but it recognises my ipod.
I think maybe completely getting rid of itunes and everything on it.. and starting again might help. because i havent been able to use my iphone for 3 months because of this.
So, how can I delete itunes and download it again WITHOUT all my stuff still being on there when I get it back :S
Hope it makes sense.

Itunes stores your music here:
(Vista)
C:usersyoumusicitunes
(XP)
C:documents and settingsyoumy documentsmy musicitunes
It stores your settings in these two folders:
(Vista)
C:usersyouappdata[hidden]roamingappleitunes
C:usersyouappdata[hidden]localappleitunes
(XP)
C:documents and settingsyouapplication data[hidden]appleitunes
C:documents and settingsyoulocal settings[hidden]application data[hidden]appleitunes
In the above locations, "you" is your current username. You may want to also check the other users, especially "default". The file naming is a bit different between XP and Vista, as I have shown above. You have Vista if the start button in the lower left of your screen is a circle rather than a squareish icon.
You will not be able to see hidden folders by default. To see them, open any folder. In the folder's window, go to tools -> folder options -> "view" tab. In the "advanced settings" box, select "show hidden files and folders" and click ok.
Itunes may also store settings in the registry. Editing the registry is dangerous, so don't try it unless deleting the folders above didn't work. First, uninstall all apple software that you have installed and restart your computer. Then, access the registry, by going to start, run (or press WinKey+R). Type this and press enter:
regedit
In the window which opens, first go to file -> export to backup the registry in case you break something. Then use the edit -> find menu to search for "apple" and "tunes". You must use the edit -> find next option after each search result. Just right click -> delete any entry you find. After you've done this, there shouldn't be any Apple settings left on your computer.
