    ok, so i had to get my computer wiped, and last time it got wiped iTunes was still on it when it came back.
    I have looked all over the computer in all the obvios places and in the control pannel, and iTunes is definetely gone.
    So, i know i can download iTunes off the internet but what about all my songs?

    Can i just plug in my iPod and the two will sync up...or will my iPod be cleared.

    I know this probably seems like a stupid question....but i would really apreciate someone telling me what to do...if there is anything i can do.

    Thanks.

    1: Was your music on the same drive as windows?

    2: If yes, was it on a different partition? (if no, you'll be ok, just install itunes and search for your music).

    3. If No to no.2 then all your music is gone. If yes, then install itunes and search for music.

    Most likely not true. If iTunes was simply uninstalled, it doesn't remove the music. If someone manually deleted it, they would have had to go searching for the music to remove manually as well.

    If Windows and music were on the same hard drive and partition and it was wiped (new install and formatted is what I'm taking from that btw) then they would've been deleted. It was an assumption on my part. Tbh, the files could very well have been put into "windows.old" as well. Anyway, it's sorted. :)

    True :) My bad, didn't see that it had been wiped the first time around.
