How do you downgrade from itunes 10 to itunes 9?

Hi guys. I was wondering if there is a way to downgrade from itunes 10 to itunes 9. When I downloaded itunes 9 and tried to install it, it said that it couldn't install because there is a newer version of itunes already on my machine. Any help would be nice.

You might want to look into this thread .How to safely downgrade from iTunes 10 to iTunes 9? (Mac OS 10.6.4)

I just downgraded from iTunes 11 back to itunes 10.7.5. My iTunes is now working from one of the Previous Music Librabies. How can I make that previous library my current library? Also, I can't empty iTunes 11 frome the trash. Why not?

I just downgraded from iTunes 11 back to itunes 10.7.5. My iTunes is now working from one of the Previous Music Librabies. How can I make that previous library my current library? Also, I can't empty iTunes 11 frome the trash. It tells me iTunes 11 is still open. What's going on?
Thanks in advance!

Without providing details on exactly what you did it is hard to provide an answer. It's like me saying, "This chocolate cake I made tastes wrong," but not providing the recipe for review. Maybe it was the garlic in that particular recipe.
If iTunes is successfully using a previous library which you rename to iTunes Library.itl then that is now the current library.
Have you restarted your computer and then tried emptying the trash?

How can I downgrade from iTunes 10.5 to 10.4

How can I downgrade from iTunes 10.5 to 10.4?

Thanks for your support, but I changed the TimeZone (both PC and Iphone 3GS on Istanbul GMT+2) and the problem is still there. I updated also Itunes 10.5.1, same problem. I can't syncronize or update the IOS on the phone. I'm afraid I'll have to try the complete reset to factory of the Iphone (I'm afraid sync data on the iphone has been corrupted and Itunes can't sync).
Any advice on how to save all my data, since backup function does not work because it needs the sync feature?
thanks

How do I "downgrade" from iTunes 10 to iTunes 9?

How do I "downgrade" from iTunes 10 to iTunes 9 without having to uninstall and reload all of my music. The new iTunes 10 interface is hideous and bland. I can't stand looking at it anymore. iTunes 9 was much nicer. I have about 200 GB of music so i would really like to avoid having to add everything into a fresh/new library.

you could try this: http://appletoolbox.com/2010/09/how-to-downgrade-itunes-10-to-itunes-9-2-1/.

That is not possible. Apple does not support a downgrade path for iOS.

How can i downgrade from iTunes 10.5 Beta 2 to iTunes 10.5 Beta 1?

i have a iPhone on iOS 5.0 Beta 1 and iTunes on 10.5 beta 2 but i cant sync and when i install itunes 10.5 beta 1 it's not possible to start itunes
what can i do?

The info below corrects the mistake of upgrading to iTunes 10.5 Beta 2 before installing iOS 5.0 Beta 2 on your iDevice.
To downgrade from iTunes 10.5 Beta 2 to iTunes 10.5 Beta 1 you need to trash the iTunes Application before running the Beta 1 installer. Otherwise the icon will just bounce once and the app won't run.
Then once you are back on Beta 1 should should restore your iDevice to iOS 5 beta 2 (you can only use restore, upgrade doesn't work and throws error 3002) you then need to install iTunes beta 2 and then restore from your backup.

=Downgrading from iTunes 11 to iTunes 10.7=
Try activating the sidebar, menu bar, and status bar and see if this is close enough to the previous version to make you content. It is easier than downgrading and eventually you will be forced to run a newer iTunes unless you have an endless supply of the model computer you currently own.
You may be able to go back with Time Machine but this may involve restoring other items too (https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441404). Alternatively:
Back up your computer first, in case the unexpected happens.
Here's a step-by-step method and you may find it easier to follow than alternative methods I have posted below.
Downgrade iTunes 11 to iTunes 10.7 - http://www.emacconsulting.com/apple/itunes/downgrade-itunes-11-to-itunes-10-7/
If the above does not work, or you want to do it without Pacifist, or you want to know what is actually going on when downgrading, or you encounter error messages, here's more details:
Quit iTunes.
Get iTunes 10.7 from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576 or the direct download link at: http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
Do a few preparatory steps by making sure all iTunes components are not running and cleaning old files.   See https://discussions.apple.com/message/20475394. Do steps 3 and 4. Steps 6-8 may be also useful but I don't know if they are essential. Some of the other steps are not necessary, duplicate steps listed later in my post or are perhaps even unhelpful in the process.
Replace the iTunes 11 application with iTunes 10.7. Simply dragging the application to the trash may not work. Lion (OSX 10.7) and newer systems have iTunes integrated into the operating system and deleting is a bit more involved. Two ways to do this are:
1. (Easier) Use the shareware Pacifist utility (http://www.charlessoft.com/) to install iTunes 10.7 including all associated system files. Details at http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=16400819&postcount=6
2. (More work) Check this reference on how to delete the iTunes application itself:
    Delete iTunes in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion - http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/13/delete-itunes-in-mac-os-x-10-7-lion/
    After deleting the application there may be other files that need downgrading too. See the note about error -42408 at the end of this post. You may want to tuck these away somewhere safe until you have completed the installation of iTunes 10.7. I have not tested this but ideally if newer versions are not found then the installer will put in the old versions. This may include these files in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ which apparently get updated by iTunes 11:
AirTrafficHost.framework
CoreFP.framework
DeviceLink.framework
iTunesAccess.framework
MobileDevice.framework
After doing one of the two procedures above you will have to rescue the most recent old iTunes library from your iTunes > Previous Libraries folder. Rename it "iTunes Library.itl" and replace the existing one in the iTunes folder. A newer version of iTunes irreversibly updates your library file so you have to replace it with the old one or you will get an error message. Note, this will revert your library to the version at the time of the upgrade and you will have to update any changes made since. See:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20401436 - turingtest2 11/2012 post on rebuilding empty/corrupt library from previous iTunes library file after upgrade/crash.

Other issues:

- If you encounter error -42408:

Alternatively, check https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441424 which requires you have a Time Machine backup (though possibly if you remove the newer version of these files old ones may be installed with the iTunes 10.7 installer - untested). A variant of this is at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20448184

How to downgrade from iOS 8.1.1 to ios 7.1.2

How to downgrade from iOS 8.1.1 to ios 7.1.2

I think the best iOS version for iPad mini 1st gen was 7.1.2.
I use my iPad with music production software and still it was on 7.1.2 I got no problems, but now I'm in trouble using AudioBus for memory problems when I record to a DAW. Synth softwares are laggy, many crack here and there, like it has no more power to reproduce all the voices I need.
Really the only way is the jailbreak? 8.1.1 is not optimized for older devices: the update had to be not released through iTunes.
Bye.

Any help is much appreciated.

Downgrade from iTunes 7 to 6 error message

I downgraded from iTunes 7 to 6 because of that blasted +gapless playback+. On initial launch of 6 I get the license agreement, agree to it, and the get an error message that reads "The iTunes Music Library cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder."
The iTunes Music Library folder has 2 files .DS_Store and Library.xml
Any help would be appreciated as this downgrade has and upgrade has been a mess.
Thanks in advance

Is this an Apple approved procedure?
I thought that once an upgrade was in it was impossible to remove it entirely due to all the little DRM things (and who know what else?)
A lot of people (especially the ones that just listen to music) think iTunes just keeps getting worse and worse.

How to regress from iTunes 7 to iTunes 6.0.5 (Windows)

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.

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 downgrade from iOS 8.3 back to iOS 8.2?

How to downgrade from iOS 8.3 back to iOS 8.2?

A handful of people scream about every update that is ever put out. It is the nature of technology and blame. Perhaps try addressing your issue instead of blaming yet another update. you would never had of installed 8.2 if you took these forums as any true representation of iOS users.

How to downgrade from iOS 8.1 to 7.1.2 for iPhone 5 ?

Dear Experts
How to downgrade from iOS 8.1 to 7.1.2 for iPhone 5 ?
The situation is that in Hong Kong, I bought the iPhone 5 for my mainland China friend.
The seller said that the iPhone 5 was brand new and was come from USA.
I found that iPhone 5 was in iOS 8.1. I wonder that why brand new iPhone 5 would be installed in iOS8.1?
My friend finds that the response of iPhone 5 is so late.
He prefers to downgrade to iOS 7.1.2.
Please reply.
Thank you
Regards
Lawrence

You can't downgrade from iOS 8.0.2 to iOS 7.0.4 any more, because Apple has closed the access to verify iOS 7.0.4.
