PLEASE HELP ME??? Lost itunes trying to downgrade back from 11.0 & unable to get itunes to work at all now..

New Itunes setup is the worst one yet!!! I couldn't stand it, so I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling older versions, but now I am unable to get it to work in any version. I have uninstalled & reinstalled several times (trying this with multiple versions). Strange thing is that ever since I uninstalled 11.0 I have not been able to get any of the other versions to open at all.. Sometimes an error message box dings & pops up that says something about how to adjust the volume through your itunes, or unable to open file.. other times when I click on the icon it just does absolutely nothing. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME??? I'm going crazy without my music & I am panicking because I am afraid I may have lost all music (I have thousands & thousands of songs on there).. I'm hoping to find a way to reinstall an older version, but at this point if I can't find a way to bring back the old version, I'll take 11.0 if I absolutely have to (meaning if it's the only way to retrieve itunes without losing my entire library)

Have latest version of iTunes installed and running. Also make sure you have internet access working and can access Apple websites. Also, make sure you don't have any entries in your hosts file referring to gs.apple.com....If your not sure about how to do that, go ahead and do the rest first. You can come back to that later.....Plug in phone. Put phone in DFU mode.(google put iphone in DFU mode for instructions) Then restore the phone in iTunes by highliting your device in the left column and click on the Restore button. The latest iOS version is 4.3.3. That's what iTunes will restore it to. When it's done restoring, iTunes will ask if you want to restore from a backup or setup as a new phone. I would use the Setup as a New Phone option. Once it's done, you should have a clean install of the iOS and an operating phone, as long as there are no hardware issues with it.

    error 1618 when I try to install 4.3.4 my phone is in DFC mode for 4 weeks.. I've tried other computers, reinstal itunes, tried to downgrade, upgrade firmware, tried iReb, tiny umbrella. What sould I do?

    Hello Philly,
    I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?)  touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
    I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.
    ~Remember, I am just giving an educated guess on limited information

  • I dropped my iPhone and i tried to turn it on but it only comes on at curtain times. And it turns back off when I drop it just a little bit. Sometimes it takes like three days to turn back on. How do I get it to work regularly again?? Please help!!!

    I dropped my iPhone and i tried to turn it on but it only comes on at curtain times. And it turns back off when I drop it just a little bit. Sometimes it takes like three days to turn back on. How do I get it to work regularly again?? Please help!!!

    Seems like there is some physical damage causing an intermittent issue of the iPhone being unable to power on.
    You could try a reset:
    - hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time
    - the iphone will turn off(keep holding) then when the Apple logo appears release both buttons
    If the reset fails I would suggest next time it powers on to try and back it up to either iTunes/iCloud then you can try a restore to factory settings or just back up and book an appointment at an Apple Store to have the iPhone evaluated.
    All the best

    Apps downloaded with an Apple ID are forever tied to that Apple ID and will always require it to update.
    The only way around this is to delete the apps that require the other Apple ID and download them again with yours.
    Or simply log out of iTunes & App stores then log in with updated AppleID.

  • Everytime i eject my ipod and reconnect it all my music is gone. and sometimes while i try adding music to it. itunes completely freezes. please help. and sometimes when i plug it back into my PC i have to rename my ipod and such

    Everytime i eject my ipod and reconnect it all my music is gone. and sometimes while i try adding music to it. itunes completely freezes. please help. and sometimes when i plug it back into my PC i have to rename my ipod and such

    Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
    My suggestion.
    Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
    Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
    Stop the Antivirus program
    Connect your Ipod to the PC
    When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
    When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
    Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
    When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
    If this doesn't resolve your problem, then let me know.
    Good Luck!

    I assume you know where your catalogue file (the lrcat file) is located. In the same folder is a previews lrdata folder which you should delete or rename in Explorer, then start LR again.
    If I've made incorrect assumptions above, sorry, and we'll go back over it from the start.

  • Need help in the process of trying to downgrade back to iPhoto '09...

    I want to see all the exif info for my photos as I am getting into DSLR photography.  This is one of the reasons I am trying to downgrade back to iPhoto '09 from '11 amongst other reasons; one being I just preferred it (and I have been using '11 since January and still want to downgrade).  Anyway, this is what I have done so far:
    Reinstalled iPhoto '09 from an old time machine backup in December '13 from before I upgraded late December.  Then with the help of a youtube video I found I created a new iPhoto Library for '09 and was in the process of importing all my pics when 3/4 of the way through, my hard drive reached capacity and the importing quit.  When I go into iPhoto '09 now, there are no pics.  So I spent yesterday buying a large external hard drive and the past 18 or so hours formatting it for mac and moving files so now I have a bit more room on my internal 1tb hard drive. 
    So I am guessing I should next go to the newly created iPhoto library on my internal hard drive and delete all (not to mention this will free up more room on it).  Then what I want to do is create a new library for iPhoto '09 on my new 3TB external hard drive and then import all the pics there.  Can I create the iPhoto Library on an external drive?
    If I am able to do the above and import all my pics and iPhoto '09 seems to be working properly, can I then go in and delete the iPhoto '11 app without causing problems?  Am I right to believe that all my pictures, even the ones I imported to iPhoto '11 directly from a mail attachment, will not be deleted if I delete the iPhoto '11 app? 
    I don't want to find myself with 2 iPhoto programs, neither of which function.  Thanks in advance!

    You need the version of iPhoto that you wan tot use installed and then follow the IPLM directions
    http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/Help/downgrading%20a%20library%20to%20an%20ea rlier%20version%20of%20iphoto.html
    Downgrading a library to an earlier version of iPhoto
    If you have a library from a newer version of iPhoto that you simply want "downgrade" to an older version of iPhoto, the easiest way to do that is with the "Rebuild Library" command. You will want to be running iPhoto Library Manager on the machine that has the older version of iPhoto you want to convert the library to. This will create a new library and import the entire contents of the original library into the new one using the older version of iPhoto. As with any rebuild, there are some items that will not be included (most notably, hidden photos, books, calendars, and slideshows), but if you have none of these items or don't mind losing them in the downgrading process, then this is a decent option for converting a library to an older version.

  • I have updated my phone to 4.3.3 and I was told there would be more bells and whistles. I haven't found more texting sounds. Have I updated my phone wrong or just not completed it all the way? Please help me. Still trying to figure this iphone 3G out.

    You have the iPhone 3GS, not the 3G. The last update to support the iPhone 3G is 4.2.1.
    iOS 4.3.3 includes bug fixes etc. There is nothing really special about this update that wasn't introduced in iOS 4.3. iOS 5 is the one to wait for - it will be released in the Autumn/Fall and includes over '200' new features/improvements.
    The additional text tines and ringtones were an iPhone 4-only feature.

  • Hi, I've just started as a fresher in sap fico and I'm upto the LSMW part and I'm wondering why I keep getting an error in Run batch step when I do everything else correct could you help?  Please help I'm really trying to learn it as fast as possible

    Please help I'm really trying to learn it as fast as possible?  I've posted the file with all my screen shots going through the enitre process of me creating the LSMW file.

    First, I will try to address the iPod issue: If youve tried EVERYTHING on the website, your only other option is probably to contact Apple, I recommend by phone, and informing them of the problem. You are covered by warranty and therefore they are liable to assist you. Try that and come back with a status update
    Now I will address your attitude about it:Its absolutely understandable to be upset over something like this, especially with such an expensive product, but you are generalizing far to much. You may think Apple is being unproffesional by not warning potential buyers of the iPods common faults, but do you really think they would? they are out to sell these things, they arent going to point out the bad in their product. And not all iPods have problems, in fact only a fraction do. That gopes for the rest o Apples products as well. You are too hasty assuming all Apple products are junk, and one of many reasons as to why that is unfair of you is becuase you dont own any other Apple products.
