Can I revert back to release 5 after installing rel 6

I installed itunes release 6 (I know, I know)and have had system instability (automatic reboots)on XP Sp2. How can I get a copy of release 5 to reinstall?
Appreciate any help. GuitarMan

Well after doing this and yes restarting my computer etc. it took 2 minutes for itunes to start up
yuck. that shouldn't be happening. i get a 10-second start up on a good-but-two-year-old PC using itunes 6.0.0.18.
hmmm. okay, other possibilities. see the listing of itunes and QT processes given in the "Lorraine" technique:
Lorraine M, "NIS/i-tunes problem rectified" #2, 12:51am Oct 17, 2005 CDT
... head into MSCONFIG:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538
... and check to see if any of the processes/startup items from that list that show up in your startup items happen to have been disabled.
it might also be worth experimenting in there to see if there's a conflict between itunes/QT and one of your other start-up itmes.
love, b

  • Can I revert back to 8.1 after updating to 8.2 two days ago?  I don't like it.

    Is it possible to revert back to 8.1 after upgrading to 8.2 two days ago?

    No, downgrading the iOS version is not supported by Apple.

  • Can I revert back to Snow Leopard after upgrading to Lion?

    I would like to install Lion over my current Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installation but I have some concerns that I may not like it.  If for some reason, I want to revert back to SL, can I use a Time Machine backup to return to my former OS?

    Yes.  Just boot up from your Snow Leopard DVD, and restore the last Time Machine backup that was made before you installed Lion.

  • How can I revert back to iOS 5 after upgrading to ios6

    Can I Uninstall ios6 and reinstall ios5

    While I see no reason this discussion should be prohibited as the previous poster indicated, I will retract the link I provided earlier. Although it does not involve jailbreaking, further investigation suggests the method given there won't work.
    Unless anyone's come up with a better idea, looks like you might have to wait till they sort out the problems with youtube, maps and so on - or buy an Nexus 7...

  • Can I revert back after upgrading to Mavericks operating system? Can't get my Adobe software to run properly.

    Can I revert back to a previous operating system after upgrading to Mavericks? Since installing Mavericks I can't get my Adobe software to run properly.

    Thanks, for your replies. I've got a late 2012 iMac (2.7 GHz Intel Core i5). I was previously running Snow Leopard - Not sure exactly what version but it was right up to date.
    The Adobe software I'm using is the Creative Cloud. Specifically InDesign cc. Whenever I try to browse folders through the InDesign software the browser window closes before I can do what I need to do. So I cant place images into my InDesign document or save documents properly.
    On the Adobe website it says that they worked with apple to fix any bugs before the Mavericks release but there's lots of complaints on the forums. I've left a bug notification with Adobe but I don't expect that they will be offering any solutions or software updates any time soon.
    I really just want to revert back without too much trouble.

    Thanks

    The 30-pin connector on the iPhone 4 dock might not have all the connector pins to do video.
    I'm 99% sure the Universal Dock does have the pins (and therefor supports video out).

  • HT3258 can I revert back to mac os 10.6 after upgrading to 10.8?

    can I revert back to mac os 10.6 after upgrading to 10.8?

    Yes you can, however it is A LOT easier if you make a 10.6 TimeMachine (disconnect it) and/or (best) a 10.6 Carbon Copy Cloner bootable clone. (disconnect it too)
    TimeMachine drives are not bootable, so you will require your 10.6 install disk (slow) to be perfectly functional to boot and perform the ENTIRE drive erasure required to restore the 10.6 TimeMachine copy (slow) to the internal drive.
    With a 10.6 bootable clone on a external drive, it's hold the option key bootable, so your up in seconds on the 10.6 clone and can be erasing the entire internal drive while surfing the web.
    Also if your 10.6 disk is not working, the clone is, so it's another bootable backup.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    The other more complicated method to restore 10.6 on a machine that was upgraded to 10.7 or 10.8 is to extract all one's files into a neutral state on a external storage drive. (not TiThen use the 10.6 disk to wipe everything and reinstall 10.6 fresh, then programs then files.
    10.7 and 10.8 changes things in the User/Library, so you can't just restore from TimeMachine backwards.
    Also newer versions of programs from Apple changes their support files, like iTunes Library and iPhoto Library, so it's a lot more work extracting your original mp3's and jpg's for reimportation into 10.6 versions of those programs.

    Not unless you saved a copy of the old iPhoto Library. Otherwise, you can't go back.

    If you follow the instructions I gave it does not delete the profile folder where the user data such as bookmarks are stored. When you install the earlier version it will use the same profile data so you do not lose your user data.

  • How long can you revert back to the original photo after cropping?

    Is there any time limit for how long can you revert back to the original photo after cropping? Are you always able to revert back?
    Thanks.

    DAM = "Digital Asset Manager", a fancy name for a filing system.
    iPhoto keeps the original and makes one (usually much smaller) copy based on your edits. It is non-destructive in that if you crop, and later change the color, iPhoto will go back to the original and apply the corrections to get the new image, it will not simply modify the preview.
    If you want a high quality copy of the image, use the export function which allows you to specify the size and compression.

  • How can I revert back to 10.0.2. 10.0.3 is slower than Final Cut Pro 3 on my Power PC.

    How can I revert back to 10.0.2. 10.0.3 is slower than Final Cut Pro 3 on my Power PC.

    I was able to switch out my HD to a previous drive with Snow Leopoard and FCPX 10.0.2. Final Cut Pro is working again like magic! I don't think it has anything to do with Lion. I already miss some of it's features. I am once again scrolling backwards. Within 5 minutes of using FCP 10.0.2 I already notice huge improvements of speed and lack of beach ball. I can honestly say that 10.0.3 is a completely unsuable application unless you have the patience to wait 15-30 seconds between the pushing of any button on the keyboard or the slightest movement of the mouse, well trackpad. Either way FCPX 10.0.3 is a dissappointment on so many levels. I am even giving up my solid state drive to revert back to the awesomeness of FCP 10.0.2.
    Really looking forward to the improvements on FCPX but feel that Apple should be releasing the software as Beta and offering it free for those who want to help develop and make it better.

  • I'm a Pro Tools user, who just did an "Archive and Install" installation of 10.5.8 over my 10.4.11 on my 2 Ghz G5, now Pro Tools won't launch.  I checked the extensions folder and sure enough, the digidesign extensions were left behind.  Can I revert back

    I'm a Pro Tools user, who just did an "Archive and Install" installation of 10.5.8 over my 10.4.11 on my 2 Ghz G5, now Pro Tools won't launch.  I checked the extensions folder and sure enough, the digidesign extensions were left behind.  Can I revert back to the "Archive" of my 10.4.11 System from the "Previous Systems" folder?  If not, what's the point of creating the "archive"?

    Did you select "Preserve User Settings"?
    Archive and Install installation automatically moves existing system files to a folder named Previous System, then installs Mac OS X again. (See tip 3.) You cannot start up your computer using a Previous System folder, nor can you "re-bless" the Previous System folder. (See tip 1.)
    You can choose to preserve your user and network settings before installing. This option automatically moves existing users, Home directories, and network settings. This also skips the Setup Assistant after installation.
    Note: Because the "Preserve user and network settings" option moves, not copies, existing users, Home directories, and network settings, from the Previous Systems folder to the newly installed System, these items will not exist in the Previous Systems folder after the Archive and Install is complete.

    BTW, it is never recommended to do a major OS change without having a full, bootable backup.

  • OSX Lion, It is slow and really lumpy/jerky Can I revert back to Snow leopard?

    Where are Apple?
    Had OSXLion for a week and it is nothing like as fast as the last OS, screen changes are really slow and jerky and the whole thing feels slower. Is there anything that I can do, or can I revert back to Snow Leopard?
    This is a real shame never had this type of issue with Apple before.

    This is a user to user forum.  You can only revert to Snow Leopard through your backup.  You might attempt piecemeal data recovery after backing up your Lion system, and copying your e-mail folders to IMAP if they weren't stored there before.  Spotlight frequently needs to finish updating in the menu in the upper right (it will only have a search field if it is done, and say it is indexing if it is not), or some plugins may need upgrading to be Lion compatible before you upgrade to Lion.  See my FAQs*:

  • I  have been having nothing but trouble with OS 10.6.8.  Many of my appliatins will not work..  HOw can I revert back to a previous version of OS x?

    I  have been having nothing but trouble with OS 10.6.8.  Many of my applications will not work..  HOw can I revert back to a previous version of OS x?

    Before you revert anything try this:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    Next time don't post something like "nothing but trouble." Tell us exactly what the trouble is and provide any additional information such as error messages.
