How do I delete iTunes 12 and reinstall 11? 12 installed itself and updated a Library.

How do I delete iTunes 12?
I want to use iTunes 11 to access an older Library on its own Hard Disk Drive.
iTunes 12 installed itself, and the moment I opened it with one of my music Libraries, it updated the Library on that disks (and took forever—I have 27,000 tracks). (I thought I had automatic updates turned off. They are now! It has been listed at the App Store before this, but for some reason, this time it just installed at a Restart though I believe I never clicked on its Update button.)
I tried deleting 12, but it complains it is part of Mac OS! (I didn't really know this.)
I tried changing 12's permissions via Get Info, so I could Read & Write to the application. Nada. I also tried adding myself, and doing the same. Nothing.
And I tried to install  iTunes 11.4 for OS X 10.6 after downloading it, but the install complained I had a newer version, and then quit.
It seems I am stuck with iTunes 12, and have no other options.
Sometimes Apple software *****. Whatever happened to Easy?
Help!

If you have a Time Machine backup or a clone from before the time you updated, you may be able to restore from there. The iTunes 11.4 download works only for Snow Leopard.

If that library is an .xml file you can move it to your desktop and in iTunes you can choose Import Playlist and select the Library.xml file. That will give you all the playlists on the old library.

    I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account and will sync, but delete everything from my phone. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

    Iphone will sync with one and only one cpomptuer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.  This is the design of the  iphone.
    It will erase the content when you sync.
    Why not update from the comptuer with which you normally sync?

  • How do i delete iTunes Match and revert to iTunes without it?

    My library, multiple devices and the music on my iPhone have all become corrupted since paying the money, subscribing to iTunes Match and turning it on.  It has caused sync problems, hanging problems with iTunes that is constantly needing to be reset and now I have had to restore my iPhone four times!
    I give up.  I'd now like to delete it all and get a refund.

    There's nothing to delete. Just pull down the Store menu > Turn Off iTunes Match. You'll need to contact iTunes Store support for a refund.
    Also turn it off on the iOS devices.

  • I purchased two albums from iTunes but neither properly loaded and I cannot play any of the songs.  I have prevously loaded other albums with no problems.  How do I delete these albums and reload them?  I don't see iTunes on iCloud.

    I purchased two albums from iTunes but neither properly loaded on my iPad Mini and I cannot play any of the songs.  I have prevously loaded other albums with no problems.  How do I delete these albums and reload them?  I don't see iTunes on iCloud.

    If the albums do appear in the Music app, hold down on the album icons and the X to delete will pop up on the icons. Tap the X to delete the albums.
    You don't see a anything in iCloud, you see your previous purchases in the purchased tab of the store that you bought the content in. So you find your music purchases in the purchased tab of the iTunes app on your iPad. Tap on Purchased and look for the albums in the Not on this iPad section - assuming that you are able to delete the albums from the device.

  • Each song on my iTunes has a duplicate. How do I delete all duplicates and prevent this from happening again in the future?

    Each song on my iTunes has a duplicate. How do I delete all duplicates and prevent this from happening again in the future?

    After I had updated to Itunes 11 (also on Windows 7), I had the same experience, but I suspect that it was because I accepted a proposal to set up an external media library in order to simplify security backups. An associated result was that I had lost all of my playlists!
    What I did was to restore the entire library off my Ipod, using a very good program called PodToPC (a free download is available) selecting an option to replace all of the stuff in the Itunes library. I use the Ipod Classic simply because it has a large capacity to hold my collection of CD and Vinyls. No way was I going to modify duplicates of 10000 tracks in 750 playslists by hand!  I did have a few residual problems with some of the playlist specs but, after a few hours of work all was restored.
    I hope this is useful.

  • I have 2 photo albums on my iPhone that i want to delete. One is called "Photo Library" the other is called "iPhonePics". I cannot delete any of the photos in either album. How do I delete the photos and/or the albums?

    I have 2 photo albums on my iPhone that i want to delete. One is called "Photo Library" the other is called "iPhonePics". I cannot delete any of the photos in either album. How do I delete the photos and/or the albums?

    You can uncheck multiple songs by selecting all the songs you want to uncheck, then right-click and choose "uncheck selection".  Also, make sure that you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings or the sync process will ignore your selections.
    You can remove all the photos from your camera roll using Preview on your Mac.  Connect your phone to your Mac, open Preview, go to File>Import from iPhone.  When your photos appear in Preview, select the photos you want to delete, then click on the icon at the bottom showing the red circle with the diagonal line through it (see image below), then click Delete.
    To remove photos from the Photo Stream album on your phone you'll have to either reset Photo Stream (deleting all the photos from iCloud) or turn off Photo Stream on your phone.

    Attach it to your computer, open iTunes, and deselect syncing contacts and calendars. Syncing your iPod again with the mac will delete the unneeded content from the iPod.

  • HT4623 With the new software update on the iphone, how do I delete a photo and also how do I close open apps so I dont wear battery down

    With the new update for iphone, how do I delete a photo and how do I close open apps.  There used to be a delete button to delete a photo and I used to double click on the main phone button and then click on the x to close an app.

    Wipe the drive using DiskUtility and download and reinstall Yosemite and set it up as a new Mac. Then purchase the Apps you require with your own Apple ID which you will enter when setting up the new Mac.
    Cheers

  • How do I delete the pages app & reinstall?

    How do I delete the Pages App & reinstall?

    Hello miriverlady,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I understand that you would like to learn how to uninstall an application, then re-install it. Let’s begin!
    To uninstall an application, including the Pages app:
    OS X Yosemite: Install, update, and uninstall apps
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18752
    Uninstall apps
    You can uninstall apps you got from the Mac App Store, from other websites, or from discs. You can’t uninstall apps that are part of OS X, such as Safari and Mail.
    Apps downloaded from the Mac App Store: Click the Launchpad icon in the Dock, hold down an app’s icon until all the icons begin to jiggle, then click an app’s delete button. If you later want the app, you can reinstall it from the Mac App Store.
    To reinstall an application you previously purchased or downloaded, simply navigate to the Mac App Store and visit the Purchases tab:
    Mac App Store: Finding your purchased apps - Apple Support

  • I have version 5.1.1.  How do I delete photos (albums) and music

    How do I delete photo albums and music from my iPad version 5.1.1?

    If you have a first Generation iPad then you cannot update beyond iOS 5.1.1
    However you may be able to get compatible versoins of the Apps.  To do so, you will have to download the App to iTunes on a computer or another device that does support the App using the same Apple Id you have on your iPad.
    With that done you can follow these instructions from your iPad to get a compatible version:
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app

    If you have an iPad 2 or 3 you can update to iOS 7.1.1 by using the Software upate Button or by Connecting your device to a computer running iTunes.

  • How can I delete the video and keep the Audio  in a few frames using Imovie 11

    How can I delete the video and keep the Audio  in a few frames using Imovie 11?

    I've met the problem too before. but i solved it with  Audio Converter Mac instead of iMovie. If you have similar situation that just want to keep audio but not video, and if your file format is not workable in iMovie, you can use the Audio Converter for help too. it can easily help to extract audio soundtrack from any video format. Or if you need to convert one audio format to another, it is a good choice too, because it supports many common audio output formats.
