Can I downgrade to itunes 10 from 11?

iTunes 11 might be great for music but I can't tell what I have in my library in the computer and what is in my iTunes store.  I've spent hours on this disaster and want to abandon ship.

Awesome! That did the trick for me.
Here are the exact steps I took, and ITunes 10.7 is working great for me
1) In the terminal, I ran:
     sudo rm -rf /Applications/iTunes.app
2) Also in the terminal:
     open ~/Library/Music
3) I used Time Machine to restore the following files:
Album Artwork/
iTunes Library Extras.itdb
iTunes Library Genius.itdb
iTunes Library.itl
Previous iTunes Libraries/
iTunes Music Library.xml
I suspect this was not really required, I could have just copied an old library from Previous\ iTunes\ Libraries/, but I am just telling everyone exactly what I did since it worked.
4) Back in the terminal:
     open /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
I used Time Machine again to restore the following files (thanks Pehtis):
AirTrafficHost.framework
CoreFP.framework
DeviceLink.framework
iTunesAccess.framework
MobileDevice.framework
5) I downloaded iTunes 10.7 from http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
6) I installed iTunes using what I just downloaded, and made a copy for future use.
That's it! Purchased movies and songs work fine, my iPhone syns fine - everything is perfect. I also have no intention of upgrading until they give me back my miniplayer with the progress bar, song name, volume (without opening Airplay - ***?) and such, and restore the other missing features in the larger player windows. I keep saying every update from Apple is the worst ever, so why I ever clicked on "Update" for iTunes without checking the forums is a mystery.
I think I am going to make the App Store an Applescript that pops up a dialog and says "Think about what you are doing," and then opens the App Store. Ug.

    You don't use Airplay.  You set up Home Sharing on both and under the Computers section of AppleTV you'll then find it under Movies (or Rentals if rented), assuming it's in a compatible format.

    Install iTunes 9.2.1 on your computer. If the device's requirements specify iTunes 10 or newer, you need to purchase Mac OS X 10.5 on DVD.

    For iTunes purchases only..
    Connect the iPhone to your Mac, launch iTunes.
    If you haven't done this yet, go to the iTunes menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer
    Now from the iTunes menu bar again, click File / Transfer Purchases From...

    If you mean that it has the 90 day association : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
    then you can either wait for the 90 days to complete, or you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can remove the association : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

    Don't agree. I have two accounts, one for work which I set up years ago and bought a few tracks. I've recently bought iPhone and iPad and created a home ID and wanted to transfer the old purchaces. Everyone says it can't be done, but I've done it.
    1. on the iPhone/iPad change your "store" Apple ID to the one you want ot transfer from.
    2. go into iTune on the device and download the purchaces.
    3. on you PC/Mac change the iTunes login to the same as the device's ID
    4. sync your device
    5. change both ID's back and the purchaces stay on both iTunes and your device.
    Delmar,
    The procedure you describe is putting content from two different IDs into a single library, which can readily be done.
    However, each item of purchased content will still be tied to the ID from which it was originally purchased, and they will be treated separately for purposes of Cloud, Match, Purchase History, etc.

    You can sign into the iTunes Store on it, but your library won't be automatically put onto it.

  • How can I access my iTunes account from my iPhone.

    1- I can't access my iTunes account from my iPhone.
    Do I have to sync them or can I download the songs I bought without connecting with my macbook?
    Last time i connected the two, all my music got deleted. Must have done something wrong, but have no idea how to prevent that from happening again.
    2- My "preferences" panel in iTunes, only shows apps and books, not music- Why?
    3- I can't save any music on iClod.

    hello. 
    i followed your link on how to delete content from all things Apple, and nothing removes books, movies, music... it just gives said device(s) the iCloud/download icon on top of the book, movie...  not sure what the 'hide' purchase actually does - after X'ing/hide, everything STILL appears across all devices using that account.  could you clarify this any further?
    if i am understanding iTunes correctly, then EVERYTHING we download (free or purchased) will be FOREVER accessible with zero way for us to control what is filling up this mysterious vault called the cloud?  (creepy- apple is keeping EVERYTHING, what happens when the cloud gets full?)
    since we have iCloud.com and it shows our "stuff" that we iCloud sync from our devices such as notes, contacts, calendar... then why doesn't apple provide an iCloud.com tab that shows ALL of our purchases so we as CONSUMERS control/delete what is in our account? 
    we download ALOT of apps to try and then delete them off our devices.  that works fine, but movies and books are always there.  maybe a glitch?
