Will deleting my iTunes library erase it from everything?
I recently got an apple computer and have been switching everything over from my pc. Once done, I'm giving my old pc to someone else so I want to make sure none of my old stuff is on it. I have already imported my iTunes library to my apple computer so I want to get rid of it on the other one. If I delete all the music in the library on the windows, will it also delete from the mac and my other devices it's on? Like my iPod and phone?

No it shouldn't delete your music on your other apple products, before you do anything though sync your ipod, iPhone with the apple computer to make sure everything is hunky dory. Then you can delete the Itunes library, however sometimes iTunes scatters tunes throughout the PC unless you have checked "consolidate files" in advanced settings, so even if you delete the library your tunes may be elsewhere
If you are giving your PC away I think you need to go further than deleting just your music
The best thing would be to factory restore your PC, this would remove all your passwords internet history, music documents, emails photos etc.
The computer may come with some recovery disks or has a hidden partition on the hard drive to return it to out of the box condition
Update your post with make and model and we should be able to detail the steps needed as all makers have different methods
If you have a recovery or installation DVD just insert that, start up the computer and follow the prompts No it won't delete from Mac! Don't delete your account of course! If you are looking for hide apps try LEO Privacy Guard.

- Syncing my iphone to a new itunes will it erase everything else besides my music? Okay I have a problem, my iPhone is already synced to an iTunes account but I want to sync it to a different one. All I want is the music and I'm afraid it will end up deleting everything off my phone like my contacts, pictures, messages, apps.i've already done it once before but i'm afraid it will delete everything because my friend tried syncing hers to a different account and it completely deleted EVERYTHING.
- If I erase and sync my iPhone 4 in the music library, will it erase my photos? I'm trying to add music to my iPhone 4 and when I go to sync just the music, it says 'erase and sync'. Will it delete my photos? If so, can I right click my iPhone and back it up so if it does delete my photos, I can just back it up?
- If I erase all my content and settings/data on my iPhone 4, will it erase my number too? I need to erase everything to make room for an update but for that I need 4.7 GB and I have 4.4 right now. I deleted and backed up everything I could but I for some reason can't delete my mail even if I sign out and I just can't lose my number
