Can I back up the itunes folder after uninstalling itunes?

What started as a simple upgrade to 11.1.4 has lead to sooo many more problems (reinstall, uninstall, deleted files i dont have permission for, logged in as administrator, takeownership zip file, byetunes, file assassin, iobit installer, unlocker, system restore unsuccessful, system restore in safe mode unsuccessful, etc.) and wasting 2 full days...LONG STORY SHORT......itunes is now uninstalled and I still cant reinstall it, and the only back up I have is from 9 months ago on an external hard drive. I have already deleted its following components/folders as previous discussions advised, when i was trying to uninstall, but i still see the itunes folder in MY MUSIC. (running windows vista 32 bit) If I back up MY MUSIC along with itunes folder to my external hard drive, will it back up everything i need for all my itunes media from the last 9 mths or am i at a loss?


***sorry if this a stupid question but with all the info i've been researching to fix every problem ive come across i think im just too close to the problem LOL

iPhone 4S, Windows Vista

Hey ALeeC702,



Thanks for the question. Yes, backing up your iTunes Media folder will back up all of your media content. The following article provides more information:
