Hate the new Itunes.

If I wanted Windows, I would have bought a PC. Terrible navigation. How can I convert back to the old iTunes??

Google "old apps itunes" and you'll find a site with downloads of earlier versions. At first, you'll be told that iTunes can't access your music library because it's a newer version, but you can get around that by dragging the music data file onto iTunes. There's also a tutorial on YouTube that explains pretty clearly how to go back to older versions of iTunes.

Does anyone else HATE the new iTunes Software layout?!?!?!?!?!

I HATE the new iTunes Softare for Windows! They made it exactly like Windows Media Player! If I wanted to use WMP, I wouldn't use iTunes!!!! But I preferred iTunes over anything else. It was much more user friendly. Now its like the rest of them!!! I hate it!! PLEASE, CHANGE IT BACK!!!!!!

I love the new version of Grid view but some of the other changes feel like they still need some fine tuning. And I miss cover flow even if I didn't use it that often...
You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
Ctrl+B to turn on the menu bar
Ctrl+S to turn on the sidebar
Ctrl+/ to turn on the status bar
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
Should you feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and suppporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

I absolutly hate the new itunes, why change something good?!

I absolutely hate the new itunes, why change something good?! I have no time or need to get used to the new layout, it is NOT user friendly, things are in places where I'd not look for them. I even don't like the red icon. Please change it back.

Hhhmmm!
Not only have you not been polite enough to acknowledge or respond to my question, but now I'm really confused...

A big ITunes problem is the lack of album artwork that comes along with CDs you install and the lack of the "next" button in the get info area makes adding anything extremely clunky!
Do you mean this Next button...
...after selecting Get Info? It will be greyed out if there is nothing "next" that is selectable.
You then go on to say...

I am still very sad that the flow cover for artwork has been dumped- perhaps my biggest annoyance with Apple. Album artwork is an integral part of music enjoyment.
While you are correct that cover flow appears to have been dropped, you can still see the artwork in large form, by clicking on the thumbnail that you mention:
And if you hover the mouse over the picture, various options, such as the play controls and close picture will appear.

Anyone know??? Thanks for the help.

HATE the new ITunes. have an IPOD classic which I download tv shows to.WAS very simple to click and drag, --- now, how do I do this?

how in the heck do I download to my ipod, tv shows which I have already download from itunes???

Sorry, I forgot we were in the iTunes for Windows forum. To get the menu bar, press Control-B or click the little icon in the upper-left corner:
and select "Show Menu Bar". You'll then see the standard menus including the "View" menu.
Regards.

Who else hates the new itunes update?

Not happy with the fact that i cant edit song titles, even though i've bought them as CD's, saved them to external and copied them to new computer. NOT COOL APPLE!!!

This topic has been covered countless times on this forum ever since iOS 5 was released months ago and I'm sure that countless others have sent feedback to Apple about this - and to date nothing has changed. I would not hold my breath waiting for Apple to change the UI again - but it does not hurt to continue to leave feedback.

HT4915 Since downloading the latest iTunes, I am unable to delete songs from my iPhone 4s and songs I have purchased on iTunes are not available on my iPhone 4s. My computer no longer seems to recognise my iPhone or iPad. How do I work the new iTunes plea

I hate the new iTunes, I can't find anything and can't delete music from my iPhone4S. I can't find my iPhone or iPad when I plug them into my computer and I now have a whole lot of stuff I don't want on my phone. I have relaxation music on my iPad (for work) and other music on my iPhone. The new iTunes has now put everything on my iPhone and I can't get it off. I've disabled Match from my iPad to prevent the wrong music from appearing. Help please someone, I'm going insane.

In iTunes go to View>Show Sidebar. This will make it look and behave more like previous versions. Then connect your phone, click on it's name on the left side, go to the Music tab and make sure you haven't selected Sync your entire library. You may want to check the songs in your library that you want on your phone, then go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and select Sync only checked songs and videos, then click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone. This should transfer only the checked songs and remove the rest.

My iPhone 4 isn't recognized by the new iTunes

My phone worked just fine with the old iTunes, until I updated. I absolutely hate the new iTunes. It's unorganized and hard to work with. Also, now whenever I plug my iPhone 4 into my computer it charges and is recognized by iPhoto, but won't show up in iTunes. I've already gone through the troubleshooting steps Apple supplied, none of which helped. I've also looked at other questions like this but most of them were for Windows, and I'm on a Mac. Any advice? And is there a way to uninstall the new iTunes and just go back to the original? It was so much nicer.
Thanks!

Re: why won't my itunes recognize my iphone?

Ok so I found the solution, sadly i had to reformat my laptop to figure out the issue. Anyways, if you have a passcode (PIN) to unlock your iphone then make sure before you plug in your phone to the computer that you have already unlock your phone. Give that a try and see how you go.
But I do not think you would miss this

When one or more family members who have been sharing one iTunes account wants to create their own iTunes account can they each upload the music/apps from the shared iTunes on their devices to the new iTunes account?

When one or more family members who have been sharing one iTunes account wants to create their own iTunes account can they each upload the music/apps from the shared iTunes on their devices to the new iTunes account?

Yes. I would clarify your statement about the "shared" iTunes Library though. If you want each iOS device to have its own music library, you should create separate user accounts for them. Read:

How do I use home sharing with the new iTunes to put a movie on my iPad

My husband and I each have separate iTunes accounts since we both have iPhones. However we share an apple TV and an iPad, both of which are usually under my account. It used to be that since we had home sharing activated that we could have movies that he purchased with his account on the iPad along with the movies that I purchased with my account. However when we updated to the new iTunes I could not put movies that he purchased with his account (he had a gift card so we used his account instead of mine) onto the iPad. So now we have a movie for our kids that they can only watch on his phone. I want to know what the trick is to "sharing" the movie between our accounts/devices mainly the iPad and Apple TV so that I don't have to wipe the iPad and change accounts on it just for my kids to watch a movie.

My iPhone 3Gs is now no longer a recognised device on iTunes after I downloaded the new iTunes with iCloud software, but it does recognise my iPad2??

My iPhone 3Gs is now no longer a recognised device on iTunes after I downloaded the new iTunes with iCloud software, but it does recognise my iPad2??
I run both Mac and a PC and have iTunes on both, which has previously recognised my iPhone. I had updated my Mac with the new iTunes software with iCloud and updated my iPad2 just yesterday. I then wanted to do the same with my iPhone today, but my Mac wouldn't recognise the device so I tried it on my PC, which recognised the phone but told me I needed to update my iTunes and this in turn wanted to update my iPhone software. After completing all this and restarting, my iPhone now shows the iTunes icon with the USB plug pointing towards it, obviously wanting me to plug it in to my computer to re-connect with iTunes, but now neither of my computers recognise my iPhone and my PC states an 'Unknown Device'. My Mac doesn't even see it. Can anyone help as I really need to get my phone working?? Thanks

Hold down the Home and Power button for 20 seconds. And try to update again.

400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
Your Mac must be able to run OSX 10.6.8. If you can run that OSX then you can run iTunes 11.1.

How do i use WinAMP on the new itunes

Well i have an Alienware laptop and i know theirs a WinAMP plugin i installed but with the new itunes layout i don't know how to get to view ==> Visualizer and so on so yeah can someone help?

It should be clearly visible when you're on an album page, e.g.
If you're looking at individual tracks, it's always been the case that you click the button with the price.
If that doesn't help, please post back and let us know what specific item(s) you're looking at so we can check it and see if there's perhaps a problem with a particular item.
Regards.
