How to regress from iTunes 7 to iTunes 6.0.5

How to regress from iTunes 7 to iTunes 6.0.5
1. Make sure you have a copy of the iTunes 6.0.5 installer. If you no longer have one, download it here:
http://wsidecar.apple.com/cgi-bin/nph-reg3rdpty2.pl/product=11622&cat=1&platform =osx&method=sa/iTunesSetup.exe
2. Shut down iTunes 7 if it is running
3. Uninstall iTunes 7 via the Add/Remove Programs control panel.
4. Go to your iTunes MUSIC folder (usually C:\My Documents\My Music\iTunes). You will see two files called "iTunes Library" and "iTunes Music Library". These belong to iTunes 7, DELETE them.
NOTE: Take care not to confuse this with the iTunes INSTALLATION folder, which is usually C:\Program Files\iTunes.
5. You will also see a folder called "Previous iTunes Libraries". Look inside, there may be several copies depending upon your upgrade history with names like "iTunes Library 2006-09-12". Take the most recent one (the last one used by iTunes 6) and COPY it up to the folder C:\My Documents\My Music\iTunes. Now RENAME this file back to simply "iTunes Library".
NOTE: To copy a file in Windows, right-click the file and choose "Copy". Now go to the folder you wish to copy to, right-click in the empty folder space and choose "Paste".
NOTE: To rename a file in Windows, select the file and press F2. Now type the name you want and press ENTER.
After this is done, your iTunes MUSIC folder (C:\My Documents\My Music\iTunes) should contain the following objects:
a) The file "iTunes Library" that you just copied there and renamed
b) The folder "Previous iTunes Libraries"
c) The folder "iTunes Music"
6. Now reinstall iTunes 6. All your playlists and ratings will appear as if nothing had happened. And, your Shuffle will work once more.

I just want to bump this and say thank you soooo much.
I upgraded to itunes 7 today (I have an ipod mini) and everything was fine except I couldn't upload anything my ipod...sooo frustrating, so when I saw this I followed your steps and voila, I can upload music again!
Thank you...and apple should really check the programs before letting people upgrade...also if the newer pogams don't work for the older devices, they should make a note so people don't make that change.

very awesome, its nice to have working itunes again,
and be able to do things and still listen to music. I
already god all the album art and games onto my ipod,
so i can live not updating my ipod again until they
get around to fixing this.
Once again thanks for the guide, helped me out a
whole lot
You are welcome. There is a lot of noise here, I thought I would add something purely technical.
One quick addition: The correct extension for the file "iTunes Library" is .ITL. If you have Windows set NOT to "Hide extensions for known file types" you will see this extention, e.g. "iTunes Library.itl".
Be careful when renaming this file to retain the .itl extension. If you do erase it, put it back so iTunes can recognize it.

How to mp3files, from iTunes, to iDisk public folder etc.

Greetings:
I need to upload unedited sound files to my .mac iDisk public folder for download from the sound editors.
How do I do this from iTunes. When I drag & drop, it goes through the motions of copying the files from iTunes, to the iDisk folder, yet nothing is actually transferred.
It is necessary to use iTunes because FCP will not compress in MP3, and the zipped aiff, although appearing as 4.9mb, is not allowed by iDisk (2G) as being 'too large of a file."
Suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

Nordicdogs
1. First export the music file to the desktop, then try move it to the iDisk.
2. The 'to large a file' message can occur if the File Permissions are screwed up. However, fixing permissions with Disk Utility only works with System Files, so Download BatchMod from
http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
And apply it to the iTunes Music Folder.

ITunes library lost - how to recreate from iTunes Match?

During an upgrade from Win8 Evaluation copy to Win8 Pro, my upgrade corrupted and I ended up having to reformat my laptop's HDD to do a fresh install of Windows (thanks MS!). I always used iTunes to keep the library organised and copy everything to the media folder, and stored the media folder on my NAS. However, I think that the library files (.itl, .xml) and some other data (apps and video?) may have been kept by iTunes in the My Music folder on my laptop. I also subscribe to iTunes Match, so in theory, all music is there.
Now that Win8 is reinstalled and stable, I've done a clean install of iTunes. I've been able to change the media folder location to the mapped NAS drive and logged in using my Apple ID. Although iTunes now shows (what I think is) all my music, it shows it all as being available from iTunes Match (i.e. cloud symbol), rather than locally.
My question is this: how do I get iTunes to recognise that the library contents are available on the designated media folder already? Ideally I'd like to do this without having to download the ~60GB of music from iTunes Match onto the NAS, as it's already there! Also, is there anything else I need to do to complete the library, e.g. in case some things exist on my iPhone and aren't currently in the library? Will I have lost previous backups of phones / iPods?
Finally, so that I don't get caught in this situation again, is it possible to get iTunes to store everything on a remote folder, rather than just music media? (Note to self: run laptop backup more than once every 6 months in future!!!).
Thanks in advance for your help.

How to import from ITunes in normal AAC file? (not protected)

How do I import from Itunes in a normal AAC file? (ideally in 320kbps) but most important, not a protected file!
Alternatively, how do I convert from protected aac to normal aac?
Tks for you help.

Hi,
How do I import from Itunes in a normal AAC file?
Go to iTunes Preferences, and choose- Advanced/Importing and under "Import Using" choose AAC, under "Setting" choose 320kbps. Copy protection is only added to songs downloaded from the iTunes Store, and not songs you import from cd's.
how do I convert from protected aac to normal aac?
The only legitimate way is to burn the songs to a cd, and then re- import them using the settings discussed above.

How to import FROM iTunes

I downloaded a movie and want to import it out of iTunes to my videos folder on my laptop to watch because I don't want to have Internet on just to watch a movie. That's ridiculous. The only Internet I have is my iPhones hotspot which doesn't work downstairs (signal is crap in the house). So is there ANY way I can get this move out of iTunes so I watch it without Internet access?
I can't believe I'm here asking this because nothing should be this stupidly complicated...

Does anyone know anyone how knows somebody that knows how to download from itunes.

Do people spread the word of how downloads are downloaded from itunes.

How to purchase from iTunes US store from outside the US?

I live abroad and I want to download an audio book from iTunes US market but I could not because my credit card is not from the US.
I just bought my first iPhone 4s and I was thinking of buying another one for my wife as she was looking forward to purcahse many books from US market.
Can anyone suggest a solution on how to purchase from US market using credit cards from banks outside the US?
Thank you,

You cannot.
You can buy ONLY from the itunes store of your country of residence ( proven by the valid billing address on your credit card) AND ONLY while you are physically located inside the borders of that country.
