How can I revert back to my old version of itunes without deleting my data?

Ever sence I upgrated to the 10.6.7.1, I can't go into the store! I literally tried everything. So only choice is to delete the new itunes and revert back to the 10.4 version. But I don't want to risk getting all my music,movies,pictures,tv shows, pretty much everything get deleted off my ipod. I heard about backing up my files. Someone, anybody, PLEASE help, I'm this close to smashing my computer to pieces if I don't get an answer or a solution.

To clarify things, if you have LifeCycleManager also called LCM and use versioning, you can revert changes.
Howver, if you edit a report in a higher patch level then go back to a previous patch level you may face unexpected behavior like sudden crash, document corruption that in the worst cases manifests after a long time.
Therefore the best practices are to use LCM and/or perform systematic backups plus exceptional backups when major changes occur.

How can I revert back to an earlier version of Itunes?

I installed the newest version and it took EVERYTHING off my hard drive. A lot of it is crap I don't want on there. Can I revert back to an earlier version of Itunes that only has whats on my Ipod? I tried system restore and had no luck. Thanks

If your disk was wiped, presumable you will not need to worry about the library as a new blank library will be created.

How can I revert back to my old version of FF after updating to 15.0?

FF kept urging me to update to version 15.0, but I resisted because doing so would disable some key aps, the major one being my password and security ap, Abine where all my passwords are stored.
When I started the computer this morning, FF version 15 was on my computer and Abine no longer works. I did not give FF permission to do the upgrade, but that's not the problem now.
How can I get back to the previous version of FF (14.01)? I have an iMac and have it backed up with time Machine.

A new Abine release compatible with FF15 is on addons.mozilla.org now.
I restarted my computer and Abine was working. If not, go to tools, add-ons, and update. I'm not a tech person, so I hope one of these works for you.

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.

How can i revert back to an earlier version of Firefox? I have had nothing but slow, slow loading eversince I upgraded to4.01.1. I hate this version of Firefox. I hate the toolbar, it's a horrible colour and I can hardly read it.

Ever since I upgraded my Firefox to 4.01.1, everthing loads much, much slower.......I can go make a coffee while the page loads. Sometimes, it is soooooooooo slow, that it times out and I have to start all over again. Even when I sign on and load google, sometimes it takes forever.
I also do not like the toolbar at the top. It's grey and hard to read, what is wrong with white?
Can I revert back to the earlier version of Firefox? It worked much better. I use ancestry.com a lot and they even recommend a 3.??? version of Firefox.
Anything is better, so I don't have to sit and wait and wait and wait.

Thank you, Zenos. I tried rolling back to v31.2.0, since I had not encountered problems prior to December. However, that didn't help. So I followed your valuable suggestion to revert to v24.6; that seems to have done the trick.
I would like to mark this problem as "Solved" -- the rollback seems to have worked. However, since my original post was a complex mix of things, before I do that, should I post the individual problem sets that I had noted (address fields/nicknames problems -- numbers 1-3; default font problem -- number 4; attachment reminder problem -- number 5) as separate issues which have not been solved?
Do you know if these various issues are being worked on? I'm glad to have the temporary fix of rolling back to an earlier version, but I'd like to get back on the current update schedule at some point if and when these problems have been corrected.
Thank you again!

I'm having trouble trying to upgrade to verison 4.0. How can I revert back to the latest version of Firefox 3.6?

I deleted the latest version of Firefox 3.6 in order to try to download Firefox version 4.0. The download of version 4.0 was unsuccessful, probably because I have an old iBook G4 (10.4.11). How can I reinstall/download the most recent version of Firefox 3.6?

For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

How Do I Revert Back to The Old Version?

Dead tired last night I automatically clicked "Install" when I saw the Safari download in updates thinking it was just the usual security fix, etc. Later when I launched Safari to get on the net I was horrified to see a whole new interface! As the owner of a small struggling business the last thing I need in the middle of my season is a new interface to learn. What is the easiest way for me to dump this new version of Safari and reinstall the old version from my SuperDuper backup?
Thanks,
Win

If you have a bootable clone via SuperDuper then boot from the clone and choose backup all files.

How do I go back to my old version of iTunes?

This new version is way too complicated and I hate it so much. No, I don't want to learn how to use it or do the tutorial. It took out some things I liked about the old one and this one's just annoying. I want the old version I had back. Is there anywhere where I can choose to download it? It was before the 10.5 or whatever. It was one of the 2011 versions. HELP!

How can i transfer music from my ipod to my itunes without deleting music

I DONT WANT TO DELETE MY MUSIC FROM IPOD BUT I NO LONGER HAVE THE ORIGINAL COMPUTER THAT MY IPOD WAS SYNC'D TO AND NOW IT WANT TO DELETE MY MUSIC??? HOW CAN I AVOID THIS?

iTunes will let you transfer your purchased songs from your iPod to your new iTunes as detailed here
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
For the rest of your iPod music, you will need to use a third party program like TouchCopy to copy your iPod content onto your computer or straight to your new iTunes. There are free TouchCopy PC and Mac downloads available from here

Also, see this YouTube video on how to use the program..

New laptop, how can i transfer my ipad music to the new itunes without deleting anything??

I got a new laptop and want to tranfer my music. I have an ipad 3 registered to the old one and want to register to the new laptop without having to delete my music and playlists. Is this possible?

" so it should be a way to just transer a whole library without loosing all of this when i get a new laptop..."
This is why it is basic to maintain a backup copy of your comptuer.
The ipad simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.

How do I go back to an older version of iTunes?

I just updated my iTunes to 11 and definitely don't like it. How can I go back to the last version of iTunes?

What do you mean you can't? You certainly can and people that didn't care for the new iTunes 11 have already went back to the 10.7 version. Just search on these boards on how to go about it.

I've managed to get back to Pages 4.3 and delete the downgrade Pages 5, which makes a total mess of any doc prepared with it, but how to I get back to the old version of Pages on my iPad so that I can work while I am away from home.

I've managed to get back to Pages 4.3 on my iMac and delete the downgrade Pages 5, which makes a total mess of photo-rich documents prepared with Facing Pages (most of mine), but how to I get back to the old version of Pages on my iPad so that I can work on sections away from home. At least on my old PC, Word maintained compatability with old versions. Beginning to regret having switched.

Thanks for your help. What is really irritating is that Apple give a big hurray about what they have added as "new" in Pages 5 (most of it pretty useless) without telling you of the myriad things they have deleted. If they had shown the list your gave the link to, I doubt may regular users would risked going to Mavericks with its auto upgrade. My partner got the message in time and is sticking with the earlier operating systems and Pages on Mac and iPad. Lucky girl.
I have found a way to use my iPad to add chapters written while on the move to reports on my iMac Pages 4.3. If I write it on the new Pages on the iMac (don't seem to be able to revert there), the send the report as an email in WORD format (not Pages) and download it in the Text Editor, then cut and paste into the story on the iMac. Hardly elegant but it works.

I updated to new ios and now it is not syncing properly. How can i revert back to the previous installed version?

I updated to new ios and now it is not syncing properly. New songs are not showing up on the ipod display but when I view the device on my computer, they are in the playlist but there is a dashed circle beside the missing songs. It previously synced perfectly before the IOS update. How can i revert back to the previous installed version?

Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
Try:

Restore from the backup you had prior to installing Mavericks.
However, the upgrade should not have altered your partition scheme. Did your erase and format the drive prior to upgrading?
