How do i delete an older version of itunes in order to download a newer version

just got an iphone4s and plugged it in to my pc and itunes I needed a newer version of itunes. Downloaded 10.5 and thought that fixed the problem. It did not. After the install it says the destination source is bad. Any help would be appreciated.

Tell us some version numbers please, of your Mac OS versions and iTunes versions on both computers (two eMacs yes?).

That is a pretty good guess.Try updating the second eMac's iTunes to at least the version that was on the first.

I have a new Mac and I migrated mi old one to this. I can not open iTunes because a message stating "iTunes Library.itl" can not be opened because it was created in more recent version of iTunes. There is not a new version to download.

Go to iTunes > about iTunes. What version are you running? If necessary, hold down the option key while starting iTunes and create a new, test library so it will start.

If your iMac has a PowerPC processor, Leopard OS 10.5.x is the max OS. If your iMac has an Intel processor, it can run Snow Leopard OS 10.6.x or possibly higher.
Once we know your iMac model, we can better recommend what OS X version.

Can i get an older copy of itunes cause i cant stand the new version

Before you go to the effort to downgrade, go to the small icon with the arrow at the extreme upper left and select "Show Menu Bar":
Then from the View menu select "Show Sidebar" and "Show Status Bar". That may alleviate some if not all your complaints. If not, you can download iTunes 10.7 here:

There are many threads in this forum with downgrade instructions.

Cannot connect to the itunes store. Just downloaded the new version.

i just downloaded the new version of itunes and cannot access the itunes store. I have seen other comments that other users have posted and they have had the same issues. i am hoping that it will start working within the next few days as other users have said. if anyone knows of any other suggestions as to what can do to fix this please let me know. i have already tried the suggestions that this website has given me and nothing works. if someone can please tell me if this has happened to them and if their itunes store is now working!!?? and how long did it take to start working again????
the message that comes up:
*Itunes could not connect to the Itunes Store.*
Make sure your connection is active and try again.

Unfortunately I have experienced the same thing, what possessed me to upgrade when the older version worked just fine I will never know. Apple instructions are great if you can understand what they are talking about...is there an itunes for dummies out there??
Having said all that, I ended up restoring my system under accessories, trying to go back to before the upgrade, but don't think I went back far enough. Am not quite sure when I actually made the upgrade and I could only go back a few days. But what did happen was I no longer got the "unable to connect to the store" message, I am connecting, but I have no pictures. The top part of the screen is all blacked out as is any place there is supposed to be a picture.
I also cannot listen to anything, nothing happens if I click on a song. I haven't tried to buy anything, so not sure if that works or not.
Any ideas?
I was dismayed to see that the previous posts were from the first part of March and it is now April. I as a new upgrader still ended up with similar problems. Doesn't Apple fix any of this stuff in a timely manner? A month is plenty of time to find a patch to take care of this.

ITunes freezes when accepting download of new version

When I open iTunes (for Windows), it asks me if I want to download the new version, I click on "yes" and the program freezes. I use the task manager to close it. The program will re-open but opens "frozen" unless I re-boot. Any solutions?

Click no, see what happens.

How can I delete a song from my itunes library which I downloaded to my Ipad device?

I accidentally downloaded a song to the Ipad device from the cloud (from my Itunes library). Can I delete this one song?

I do have a very a very same question:
I attach my iPad to my computer and open iTunes. Then I click on "iPad" (right upper corner).
When I click on Music on the top line I don't see my music titles but only the list of iTunes albums I may want to synchronize.
When I click on "On this iPad", I'm getting all music titles on the iPad. When I right-click on an item I'm getting "Play this music / Information / Wertung / show in iTunes store / show in playlist" (or so. I'm using a German version of iTunes). However nowhere do I get the option of Delete this music title. Please, how can I delete titles or albums from the iPad? Thanks in advance!

I AM UNABLE TO LOAD THE NEWEST VERSION OF ITUNES BECAUSE WHEN I RUN THE NEW VERSION, I AM TOLD THE OLD VERSION OF BONJOUR COULDN'T BE REMOVED AN I WILL NEED TECH SUPPORT. IS THERE ANY THING ELSE I CAN DO BEFORE I PAY TO HAVE TECH SUPPORT HELP?

I am unable to load the newest version of itunes because when I run the program, i am told the old version of Bonjour could not be removed. As a result the program fails to run completely. What can I do to get the older version of Bonjour removed? I tried unsuccesfully to remove the older version of itunes

bobjbkln - Your link will not help. The supject is:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
but the poster says he has a Mac with OSX 10.5.
For the original poster (OP), try posing in the iTunes form since now you have an iTunes problem, not an iPod problem.

Neither my ipad nor iphone will sync with itunes on my pc. it says i need a newer version of itunes but when i download the latest version i get the same message.

I can't get my iPhone 4s or my iPad 2 to sync with itunes on my pc. My very ancient ipod nano works fine. I get told that the version of itunes is too old. I have tried on 3 occasions to download the update, and while it doesn't say there has been a problem with the download I continue to get the same message. I do get a warning that itunes is not properly installed and that i won't be able to burn cds. I have tried uninstalling itunes completely and reinstalling but that doesn't work either.
does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Have you run windows update? That could prevent iTunes from properly installing. Also, try with your antiVirus and firewall disabled. What version of Windows are you running?
OS X is the operating system on the Mac.

TS1363 I have an ipod shuffle, 7yrs old. Says I have an error and to re-install. Then it tells me, this file cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes. I cannot find any newer version and don't recall downloading it anyway.

Told to re-install itunes. When I do, it tells me "This file cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes." Therefore I can't re-install! Can't seem to find a way to get itunes back. This is a 8 yr old ipod shuffle...

The latest version of iTunes can be downloaded here
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
As long as your computer supports it, the latest iTunes will work with all shuffle models, back the first one.
Just one thing. The latest iTunes hides the sidebar, which can be confusing for long-time users. To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under Views, select Show Sidebar.

How do I get songs downloaded from CD's on an older version of iTunes from my phone to the new version of iTunes to the new version of iTunes downloaded on a new computer? Thank you for any help!

I have authorized my new computer and all the songs that I have purchased through iTunes have transferred to my new iTunes version, as have the apps., only the songs from CD's have not transferred. I am a pretty new user to the iPhone and iTunes and do not want to lose the music that I transferred from CD's but do need to update my phone.
Does authorizing my new computer allow the CD songs to transfer into my music list with the purchased songs if I continue to update and sync my phone?
Any advice or assistance is greatly appreciated.

The iphone is not a backup device. The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases.
You need to copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of the old computer to your new one.

Open itunes on your computer. Click Store>Check for Available Downloads
Let it download. This should stop it from trying to download on your iphone.
