How can I remove iTunes 11 and return to a functional version of iTunes?

So I was really stupid and updated my perfectly operational version of iTunes to version 11. After discovering that version 11 is almost totally non-functional (missing a number of useful functions that someone decided were too helpful I guess), I want to delete this horrid example of software non-functionality and return to the last functional version (iTunes 10). Please tell me there's a way to remove this software wart and return to a functional iTunes.

I found the following way to return to 10.7. I moved the following directories and files to the desktop before I deleted iTunes 11:
Album Artwork (folder)
iTunes Media (folder)
Previous iTunes Libraries (folder)
The following file is found in the Previous iTunes Libraries:
iTunes Library 2012-11-29.itl (the date on your file will vary depending on when you decided to add version 11)
The following are files found in the iTunes directory
iTunes Library Genus.itdb
iTunes Library Extras.itdb
Once you have copied these files to your desktop, you have to remove iTunes 11. I used the uninstall option in CleanMyMac.
I used this explanation to return to iTunes 10.7:
Replace the iTunes 11 application with iTunes 10.7

iTunes 10.7 for OS X http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
You will have to rescue your old iTunes library from your Previous Libraries folder and rename it iTunes Library.itl because a newer version of iTunes irreversibly updates your library file. See:
https://discussions.apple.com/mesage/20401436 - turingtest2 11/2012 post on rebuilding empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash from previous iTunes library file.

Other issues:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20432309 - solution to mobile devices saying they need to be restored after downgrading
Once you have reinstalled 10.7, put the files and folders you copied to the desktop back into iTunes overwriting the new files that were created during the install. Restart iTunes and you should see iTunes start to reinstall all the missing files. This doesn't seem to recreate the playlists but I can fix that problem myself.
So far, it seems to be working. YMMV and I'm not recommending you try this, I'm just saying that it's worked for me.

How can I remove multiple copies of the same song from the iTunes listing?

How can I remove multiple copies of the same song from the iTunes listing. The program seems to be picking up the same songs from, for example, my user area and my public area in the C drive

As above, Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library, however it is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve/merge ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

How can I remove asm and ocr installation in AIX?

Hi,
I try to install single instance with using ASM in AIX.
But I did not make successfully.
Now I want to remove ASM and OCR installation then
I will plan to make new clear installation.
How can I remove asm and ocr ??
Or How can I control my removing is fully correct ?

1) ASM Instance Clean-Up Procedures
Stop all of the databases that use the ASM instance that is running from the Oracle home that is on the node that you are deleting.
On the node that you are deleting, if this is the Oracle home which from which the ASM instance runs, then remove the ASM configuration by completing the following steps. Run the command srvctl stop asm -n node_name for all of the nodes on which this Oracle home exists. Run the command srvctl remove asm -n node for all nodes on which this Oracle home exists. If there are databases on this node that use ASM, then use DBCA Disk Group Management to create an ASM instance on one of the existing Oracle homes on the node, restart the databases if you stopped them.
If you are using a cluster file system for your ASM Oracle home, then ensure that your local node has the $ORACLE_BASE and $ORACLE_HOME environment variables set correctly. Run the following commands from a node other than the node that you are deleting, where node_number is the node number of the node that you are deleting:
rm -r $ORACLE_BASE/admin/+ASMnode_number
rm -f $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/*ASMnode_number
If you are not using a cluster file system for your ASM Oracle home, then run the rm or delete commands mentioned in the previous step on each node on which the Oracle home exists.
2) Deleting an Oracle Clusterware Home Using OUI in Silent Mode
!!! Oracle recommends that you back up your voting disk and OCR files after you complete the node deletion process.
If you ran the Oracle Interface Configuration Tool (OIFCFG) with the -global flag during the installation, then skip this step. Otherwise, from a node that is going to remain in your cluster, from the CRS_home/bin directory, run the following command where node2 is the name of the node that you are deleting:
./oifcfg delif –node node2
Obtain the remote port number, which you will use in the next step, using the following command from the CRS_home/opmn/conf directory:
cat ons.config
From CRS_home/bin on a node that is going to remain in the cluster, run the Oracle Notification Service Utility (RACGONS) as in the following example where remote_port is the ONS remote port number that you obtained in the previous step and node2 is the name of the node that you are deleting:
./racgons remove_config node2:remote_port
On the node to be deleted, run rootdelete.sh as the root user from the CRS_home/install directory. If you are deleting more than one node, then perform this step on all of the other nodes that you are deleting.
From any node that you are not deleting, run the following command from the CRS_home/install directory as the root user where node2,node2-number represents the node and the node number that you want to delete:
./rootdeletenode.sh node2,node2-number
If necessary, identify the node number using the following command on the node that you are deleting:
CRS_home/bin/olsnodes -n
Perform this step only if your are using a non-shared Oracle home. On the node or nodes to be deleted, run the following command from the CRS_home/oui/bin directory where node_to_be_deleted is the name of the node that you are deleting:
./runInstaller -updateNodeList ORACLE_HOME=CRS_home
"CLUSTER_NODES={node_to_be_deleted}"
CRS=TRUE -local
Deinstall the Oracle Clusterware home from the node that you are deleting using OUI as follows by running the following command from the Oracle_home/oui/bin directory, where CRS_home is the name defined for the Oracle Clusterware home:
./runInstaller -deinstall –silent "REMOVE_HOMES={CRS_home}"
Perform step 9 from the previous section about using OUI interactively under the heading "Deleting an Oracle Clusterware Home Using OUI in Interactive Mode".

HT5699 I forgot the answers for security questions, how can I reset them and get the access back to the iTunes store?

Need help to get access to iTunes store. I bought an iTunes card bor buying on iTunes store.
I forgot the answers for security questions, how can I reset them and get the access back to the iTunes store?

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

How can i remove videos and music that are not on my ipad mini but are still taking up space and are showing that they are there even after i've deleted them?

how can i remove videos and music that have been deleted from the ipad but are still showing in settings as still being on the ipad?

I believe that I have the same issue with iPad Mini with Retina Display, iOS 8.1. No matter which way I delete videos from my iPad, they will still show as "deleted", yet the space is not cleared up. I tried restore and then a full restore (clean setup as a new iPad) and it still does this to me. I can solve it by doing a restore each and every time I download a video and delete it. Rather frustrating. Has been a problem since day 1 of iOS 8. I'm yet to try the power+home button reset. It may very well work, but I am surprised that a "fresh setup" of an iPad didn't resolve it from ever occurring.

How can i remove duplicates and certain contacts on Outlook and my iPhone?

I use the Outlook mail and contact program on my PC with a Windows 7 operating system, which I sync with my iPhone5.
After installing the iCloud program, I now have duplicate and sometimes quadruplicate contacts.
1. How can I remove the duplicates?
2. How can I be selective about which contacts I want to share on iCloud, in other words, can I share only certain contact categories/folders like work contacts or personal contacts?
3. How can I "uncloud" specific contacts and have them appear only on my computer and not on my iPhone?
4. Is there a way to restore accidently deleted contacts?
Thanks for any help you can give.

How can i remove Go and Exit buttons as well as Advanced text from OVS help

Hi Gurus,
Once i have impleted OVS code in my webdynpro, i am able to see Go and Exit buttons as well as Advanced Search Text, but i do not want see buttons and Text in my screen, How can i remove the same?
Thanks
Venkat.

Hi Venkat,
Create a context attribute say Va_Attr1 in the parent view, popup view and component controller. Map both the context in 2views to the component controller. So, the context variable which is bound to input field is passed via component controller to popup view and is stored in there as context attribute.
Now, you can just get the context attribute value set in the input field in parent view and use it for search in popup view.
In order, to have tables with multi-selection. Goto table properties and in selectionMode, set multiNoLead instead of auto.
Then in the wdDoInit() of popup view put,
wdContext.node<Table>().setLeadSelection(-1);
Loop through the table node and find out at what all index rows are selected for table using
int count=0;
String s = "";
for(int i1=0; i1<wdContext.node<Table>().size();i++){
   if(wdContext.node<Table>().isMultiSelected(i1)==true){
    count = count+ 1;
    s=s+ i1;
count will give you no. of rows selected which would be equal to s.length.
s.CharAt(0) will give the first row selected and similarly
s.CharAt(n) will give the nth row selected
Using Integer.parseInt(s.CharAt(n)) will give you back the index int type where s.length will give No. of rows selected.
For rows which are selected append the text values of all those separated by ";" using
StringBuffer strBf = new StringBuffer();
for(int i=0; i< <No. of rows selected>; i++){
if(i=0){
strBf.append(wdContext.node<Table>().get<Table>ElementAt(Integer.parseInt(s.CharAt(i))).get<Text>());
}else{
strBf.append(";" + wdContext.node<Table>().get<Table>ElementAt(Integer.parseInt(s.CharAt(i))).get<Text>());
Finally when 1 or more row is selected and needs to be populated in the input field then set in the context attribute which will pass the value through context mapping using
wdContext.currentContextElement().setVa_Attr(strBf.toString);

Tushar Sinha

How can i remove moved and deleted old libraries?

I've moved a bunch of my libraries around, removed some, and have installed iphoto9 on a new mac. I love that in iphoto9 I can now create new libraries or decide which library to open. But, all of my older libraries are showing up in the list when I open with "option". Plus there are duplicates of the older libraries. I'm assuming there is a db or data text file somewhere that is populating this list. Does anyone know how I can remove old defunct libraries from showing up in the list?
Thanks,
Bob

Thanks Terrence. I didn't even realize all these old files still had album xml files. I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Bob

How can I remove red and green lines from a footage?

I cannot remove red and green lines without removing the title graphics that I have in my footage. How can I solve the problem and keep the graphic there?

@Ann Benns
I will try to do that. Thank you!
@Bill Hunt
Well, the raw footage is an avi filmed with a handycam. This error occurred
the next day after I finished the editing in Adobe Premiere cs5. It might
be something wrong with the title graphics that I use, but still if there's
a solution I would like to find it out as this error occurred before.

How can I remove KitKat and revert to Jellybean?

Over last weekend I finally did the update to KitKat on my Razr M. Since the update my phone has been almost unusable. Before the update I was almost never off the 4G network. All this week at both work and home my phone rarely trains up with the 4G network signal any longer. More than not it is only showing 3G. In fact there are extended periods of time where there is 1X showing or no data at all. That is the biggest complaint.
Second, the update completely nullified several apps that I had installed. The most of which that I lament losing is the original AOSP browser, While it was an updated version and a download from the google play store it worked far better for me than Chrome. I use chrome on my computer all the time but the mobile version does not work for me at all. For this reason I located the original (what used to be the default browser on any android device) browser. As soon as the update took effect most of the additional browsers available stopped working. I can not use the mobile chrome as the functionality doesn't work for me. So my browsing is down to almost nil.
Third. The look and feel of the device is not to my liking. This is all about personal choice, but the lack of option to set the background color or any color choice in any of the menus, Status bar, just about anywhere is frustrating. I miss having the dark backgrounds and the blue status icons. Again this is personal preference but it is important. The dull white icons are just not pleasing to the eye. And the overly cartoon style menus and dial pad looks awful to me. I prefer the simple menu that was in Jellybean.
This update has rendered my phone almost useless compared to previous function. Short of rooting the device and returning to Jellybean manually I need options here. Without the data abilities on the phone running at full I am limited on being able to use the phone for work or personal.
"Throw me a freaking bone."

An update should only improve your device senslessj. I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties. We can definitely troubleshoot the signal strength concerns. I'm sorry you don't like the look of the latest OS. Our control is limited as this is implemented by the OS developer and the equipment manufacturer. You mentioned home and work locations. What zip codes are these? How is the service outdoors?
