How can I install an OLDER version of iTunes-- on a Mac?

I upgraded to iTunes 9.1--- and now it won't connect to the iTunes store. How can I go BACK to an older version. This is terrible--- and Apple is NOT HELPING!
It seems to be a common problem.
Help!

to downgrade to a previous iTunes version, you could try this user tip that seemed to have worked for some:
+1) Quit iTunes.+
+2) Delete iTunes from your Applications folder.+
+3) Go to your ~/Music/iTunes folder. Delete or rename the "iTunes Library" file.+
+4) Open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and look for the backup of your old pre-9 library; it should be dated at about the time you first ran iTunes 9. Copy it back out to the ~/Music/iTunes folder, and rename it to "iTunes Library".+
+6) click here to download iTunes 8.2.1. The page says it's for G3, but the Read Me file says it'll run on G4, G5, and Intel too. Open the disk image and run the installer.+
+You should now be able to run iTunes 8.2.1 again.+
+And your iTunes will restore to before you upgraded and you won't lose anything+.

Flash player v10.02.159 won't install - how can I install an older version?

Hi all, any help will be appreciated.
I've read all the relevent posts in this forum and tried the various suggestions. (used the Adobe uninstaller, used the various packages on the x64 help page; clean installs and uninstalls with RevoUninstaller Pro) shockwave for director is on Firefox, but would not even download on IE. (I don't use IE anyway, but...)
I am running XP pro x64. I have Firefox v3.6.16 and Internet Explorer v 8 32 bit. I don't have the 64 bit installed.
When I updated to v 10, it wouldn't install on either browser. The error message for the Flash player 10.2 installer reads:
I am also running Chrome. I never updated the player, so it works on there (thank goodness!) (Nothing shows in the extensions folder)
I tried to install an older package, flashplayer 9r280_win.exe and Brothersoftdownloader_for_Adobe_Flashplayer. - clean installs and uninstalls each time., also with no luck.
Can someone tell me how to install an older version until the 64 bit version works for me? Or - if there is a fix that has not been posted yet - I'm game to try.

You could try if the MSI installer works better; download it from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
If it does not, archived FP versions can be found at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html

How can I get the older version of itunes back? I really hate this new one., How can I get the older version of itunes back? I really hate this new one.

I'm having a lot of trouble with this new version of itunes. I never had problems before. Is there a way to get the older version of itunes back so I can be happy once again?

Hi Devorah,
What is it that you are having issues with?
Did you know that you can display the same sidebar you were used to seeing on the old iTunes by clicking on "View" at the top, and then clicking on "Show Sidebar"?
The Songs tab provdes your list of songs that can have the same columns you had on the old Music tab, and you can sort them by any of the categories you have selected for columns.
It may just take a little getting used to. Not sure if you noticed, but the downloading of songs and other purchases is now lightening-fast. That particular trade-off is worth learning some new ways of navigating around. And finding that there are ways to bring back the "look" of the old iTunes was also helpful for me.
Are there particular things which are causing you grief?
Cheers,
GB

How can I install an older version of FireFox to test our site?

I am in QA for SimpleTuition. We get feedback about showing hidden fields on older versions of Firefox, but I cannot test the fix on the current version. I need to install Firefox 5.?

For those that really need to test an earlier version of Firefox, find your system and the Firefox version you want in releases, download and start the install.

'''Users should be on either 3.6.21 or 6.0.2'''
Changed response because poster wanted Firefox 5 so response for 3.6.21 is not

How can i instal an older version of an iphone app?

Two apps (NYTimes and NPR Player) stopped working on one of my two iphone 3G's: the app logo comes up, then it's back to the home screen. One of these apps (NYTimes) was recently updated, so I figured I'd go back to an earlier version. I was able to retrieve the .ipa file from the recycle bin, put it in the folder with the other apps, "hid" the recent version (after having de-installed it from the phone), but I can't seem to be able to fool iTunes into installing it on the phone. I guess somewhere it knows what the latest version is, and won't accept any substitutes.
My other 3G is identically configured but it can (still) run these two apps. I know it's an old model, but it's still useful. My "main" phones are two 4S's.
Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks,
-- Bob

How can I find an older version of itunes?

Hi
I need to reinstal itunes 9.2 to my Mac.
I was having a problem with itunes recognising my iphone so followed instructions to uninstall itunes. However when I tried to re-install I find that in the last couple of days itunesx has appeared. My Mac is too old to accept it. I cannot find a version of 9.2.1 (which is I think where I was at). I did download 9.1 thinking automatic update would take care of it for me but it doesn't. And when I try to open itunes it won't read the library as it was created on a later version.
Grateful for any advice on how to get back to where I was?

So it is locking up at Cover flow view?
Have you tried creating a new user account, and seeing if it locked up in there as well?
When you do launch iTunes is the iPhone already connected or disconnected?

HT1199 Newer version of iTunes will not open. My music is gone. How can I get the older version back?

My "newer version" of itunes will not open. How can I either get it to open or get the older version which worked fine?

Restore the backup before you installed.
If you didn't make a backup, at very minimum make sure your Music library isn't compromised by locating the folder you selected the music to be in (usually in Users -> yourname -> Music) and make sure there are several MB of data there by clicking once on the folder, and selecting Get Info from the File menu in the Finder.
If you can't find it, try to locate parts of track names with Find Any File.
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
then determine which parent file of the .mp3 or .mpa files you have contains all of the music files by getting info under each previous folder in the folder tree.
Once you determine which folder contains all your music, back it up using the Finder, or backup the entire hard drive using cloning software at least to two different drives or two complete copies on DVDs:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1992
You'll then want to erase and install 10.6 from the system installer you used to put 10.6 on your Mac, and run the combo 10.6.8 updater and apply the necessary security updates:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3261
Then you can install older versions of iTunes for the Mac from here, once you determine which version is compatible with 10.6.8 that you liked before by first checking which version is compatible with what you need:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes_version_history
Once you know that, if you can't find it with Google, let us know and maybe one of us can help. Lastly reload your music in your music folder, and your other applications.

How can I get an older version of ibooks?

Sorry if this question has previously been answered....I cant find a direct answer.
I purchased a 1st gen ipad in pristine condition. Unfortunately I cannot find an older version of ibooks anywhere. istore will not allow me to install the newer version because of compatibility issues. ( I have OS 5.1.1 ) I am not offered a compatible version through the store. Reading is important to me and I love the ipad. Is there anything I can do? Thanks in advance.

HI! I have a somewhat similar problem I have an iPad with an iOS 5. I already have downloaded the iBooks and been using it for a long time. The problem is that i used my Apple ID on an iPhone 4 with an updated iOS 7 and downloaded iBooks on that device. When i checked my iPad, i can't access the iBooks anymore. It started to reinstall by itself but it is only installing halfway. Same problem i have with my Twitter app. I have already logged out my Apple ID on the iPhone 4 and tried to reinstall iBooks on my iPad but its says that it is already iBook 3 and that it is only compatible with iOS 7. How can I reinstall the older version of iBooks without losing all the books that I have placed on it? Please, i badly need your help. Thank you!

How can I install a second version without affecting the first?

How can I install a second version of FF without affecting my original installation?

You can install multiple Firefox versions via a custom install in different installation folders and only use the older Firefox version when you really need it.<br />
Do a custom install and install each version in its own program folder to use multiple Firefox versions.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Custom+installation+of+Firefox+on+Windows
* http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
Make sure not to start Firefox after the installation has finished.<br />
Create a new profile exclusively for each Firefox version.<br />
Create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch each Firefox version with its own profile.
