I cannot upgrade my I tunes to 10.6 or higher so should I uninstall from windows XP and reinstall and will I lose my apps. Music library is backed up externally?

If I reinstall iTunes from XP will I lose my apps or do I have to back them up like the music library?

Windows XP

Hello Triplestop,

Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.

The following article provides the answer to your question:

iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
