[QUOTE="Kevriano, post: 1336640, member: 18605"] Your going to need to back them up to an external hard drive or flash drive, and then re-import them when you do a fresh installation. Step by step? Get an external drive and plug it in, it will appear on the desktop (provided it's in a Mac recognised format). Go to MacintoshHD>Home>Music>iTunes>iTunes Library, and drag that folder to the external drive. Eject the drive after it has finished copying. When the new install is done, re-connect the drive and drag that library folder over the iTunes window. It will copy the tunes and create a new library. Done. [/QUOTE]
