Can you change your library back after reverting to 6.5 from 7

I was "forced" to upgrade to itunes 7 with a "new" purchase. All of my songs are garbled/distorted. I use a custom built PC for "recording only", and am finding this annoying especially since my UAD soundcards for
Nuendo work best with Quicktime (6.5) not QT 7 that you "have" to have to run the new itunes. So I downloaded the older "green" version and unistalled the "blue" 7 version. Looks great...though my library is still "blue" and cannot be played or recognized by my old "working" version. Anyone have a clue as to how to go about changing your library for recognition purposes?
I have a session tomorrow and am hoping to get this resolved before the day ends. Any help would be Christams to me. I want to hear my songs...and I want my old green itunes back...is my library forever locked in the "new" version?
This is the error I get: The title "itunes Library .itl" cannot be read because it was vreated by a newer version of itunes.

There never were any xml files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder, only the itl file is needed.
===
If you can't find a back up .itl file in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder don't worry there is another way.
So if you are giving up on the old v6 library, assuming you already copied the two library files to another folder, delete iTunes Liibrary.itl, then open iTunes.
iTunes should open and create an empty library, before you do anything else with your library, select Add Folder To Library and navigate to the folder where you saved iTunes Music Library.xml and import it.
This Apple article describes the process, but of course, you may not have save the xml file on the desk top.

I hope that this will work across iTunes versions as the xml file is intended for use by other programs, but I haven't seen anyone do this going back from 7 to 6.

    Can you get your photos back after the iphone does a restore?

    Actually, wrong.
    The tech support people can help with Playbook purchased apps. If you've called and they said they cannot, you were lied to.
    Even in the link you posted, in #10, it states clearly "App Refund related matters are handled by BlackBerry Customer Care." That, my friend is accessed by the support number. Again, if you were told otherwise, you should inform them of such or ask for a manage/supervisor.
    And, you don't have a "Partner ID" because you are not a "Partner". The section you're referring to applies to mobile providers, which are the Partners.
    Good luck.

  • Can you get your money back after you gift someone an app and it doesn't work?

    I kneed to know if you can get your money back when you gift an app to someone if it doesnt work. Thanks!

    If you've tried contacting the developer and not had a response then you can try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and click the arrow to the left of it, click the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

    How can you get a calendar back after deleting it

    You will have to restore the device from a backup on icloud.  (this assumes you have backups turned on in settings>icloud)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

        DIVAB71,
    Great question. The line access fees for the account are a set amount and can not be changed unless you are going from a basic to a smartphone or vice versa. If you are wondering about adding the month to month discount if you are out of contract Ann154 has provided great information on how to access and add the feature.

  • How can you change your Apple ID to a new email address?

    My old email was deleted and I used this as my Apple ID. I now have a new one and can't change my Apple ID on my phone and iPad, (Under 'icloud' in settings). However I have been able to change it in iTunes & App Store.
    I also tried deleting the account and re doing it in my new one but it asks for the password due to find iPhone being on, and it won't do it. (I remember my old password)
    Please help!
    It's very frustrating and keeps wanting me to sign in.
    Thanks

    1) Did you change that old email address to your current email address to be your current Apple ID?  If so, try to enter your current password for your current Apple ID/iCloud account.  If it doesn't work, try #2.
    2) If you don't have access to your old email account.  Same process, go to https://appleid.apple.com and sign in your current iCloud/Apple ID then edit it to your old email address then Save the changes.  DON'T sign out yet.  Go back to your iOS device then delete your iCloud account.  Once deleted, go back to the Apple ID website and rename it back to your current email address.  You have to verify it this time and you will be able to since you have access to that email address.
    3) If your answer to #1 is NO, contact Apple Support (Account Security Team) to help you reset its password but you need to have another email address available which is not yet an Apple ID to send the password reset email.
    Hope this helps!  Cheers!
