How do I downgrade my itunes to 10.3

My 1st generation ipod does not accept applications and I cannot access my itunes on it either. I found out I need to upgrade it to iOs 3.1.1 software and I found the link to do this. Unfortunately it comes up with an error code of 8288 and won't do anything further.
We did some digging and found out we need to 'downgrade' our iTunes to 10.3 and then it will let us 'upgrade' our ipod to the iOs 3.1.1
How do we downgrade the itunes to 10.3
Please help!!

I too had the same issue. This is how I resolved it http://www.parkhi.net/2011/12/error-8288-ipod-touch-upgrade-ios-31.html

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.

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.

How can i downgrade from itunes 10.5.3 to 10.5.1

Since upgrading from iTunes 10.5.2 to v.10.5.3 I have had problems with a stuttering or halting of sound, as if I were streaming music with a slow internet connection. How can I downgrade to the previous version?

Very difficult. I don't know about the version change you did but often versions may irreversibly upgrade the library file. You would have to start from scratch unless you happen to have saved a previous copy of the file.
Another problem is getting hold of an older version. Unless you saved a copy of 10.5.2 you will likely find it no longer exists on Apple's web site.
Did you clone your hard drive and do a complete backup before installing new software as is advisable?

How do I downgrade to iTunes 11.4?

So, I made the mistake of updating to iOS 8 the other day, and when I went to sync my iPhone today, discovered that iTunes 11.1.3 (Mountain Lion, 10.8.5) won't let me sync my music because I'm running iOS 8. I DO NOT LIKE ITUNES 12. It's a visual nightmare. I feel completely trapped now because I can't sync any new music or movies to my phone without updating iTunes, and I like it fine the way it is.
What are my options? Updating to iTunes 12 just to be able to use my phone, and then somehow downgrading to iTunes 11.4? Is that even possible? I figure at this point it's impossible to downgrade from iOS 8 to iOS 7. I like iOS 8, just not iTunes 12.
I'm not sure if I'm the only one who missed the little fine print that said you need iTunes 11.4 or later. Any articles, links, suggestions?

Follow this linkHow to downgrade iTunes 12 to 11.4? Be sure to remove iTune 12 library first before you install...I am going through that right now and wish I had done that.
iTune is a sick app even since 11.4 like changing the Internet radio when it feels and it got worst with 12...auto launching and if playing the window keeps popping out Dock when minimized.

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.

How do I downgrade to iTunes 8?

iTunes 9 is not working in the slightest. People say they've been downgrading back to iTunes 8. How do I do that?

How can I downgrade to iTunes 11.1.2? URGENT!!!

I haven't been able to use iTunes since I upgraded to 11.1.3 some time in November.
Today I finally got a chance to visit the Genius Bar, but the guy there couldn't solve the problem, which basically that when I open iTunes seconds after opening the main library it becomes unresponsive. It works fine with other, smaller libraries located on the Mac. I have searched in these suppport forums, but none of the tips I've seen have worked.
So, what the Genius Bar guy told me today was to delete iTunes and download the older 11.1.2 version.
However, he did not want to tell me where I could find this previous version of iTunes!!!
I searched on Google but the only sites I found are asking me to create a downloading account and provide my financial information, which I refuse to do because I don't know if these downloading sites are legit or nefarious.
So, I will be very appreciative if someone could tell me where I can legitimately and safely download iTunes 11.1.2.
My MacBook Pro is a Sept 2010 model now running Lion 10.7.5.

Downgrading of any version of iOS isn't supported by Apple. If you search the web, you'll find instructions that may work, but you're on your own should any problems arise. For many people it goes without problems, but for some it's reportedly bricked their devices.

How do I downgrade from iTunes 9.2 to the previous version?

Since I upgraded to iTunes 9.2, when I connect my iPod to my computer, my iPod mounts and is recognized by iTunes but it does not sync. It simply locks up iTunes. Based on what I've read in these forums, people are having lots of trouble with iTunes 9.2. So I would like to uninstall 9 and then go back and install the previous version. I'm worried about losing my library, settings, etc.
Can someone tell me what procedure I should follow to get iTunes previous version back onto my computer? Your expertise would be greatly appreciated.

You are not allowed to post links from other sites such as apple as i think and DOWNGRADING IS UNSUPPORTED FROM APPLE SO STOP TRYING TO DOWNGRADE AND JUST WAIT FOR 6.0.1 OR SOMETHING
Same thing illaass said
All we can say is that downgrading is not supported by Apple.

How do you downgrade to iTunes 7.5 (from 7.6)?

iTunes 7.6 is terrible! It won't install, and when it doesn, it won't open!
I tried filehippo, but when it went to install, it said that I have the newer version on my computer (even though I was uninstalled) and now I can't even downgrade! AND ontop of it all, I still have that problem that I listed in a previous topic! Somebody help!
Thanks in advance.

When iTunes 7.6 installed on my PC, it made a backup of the library and saved it under "My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Previous iTunes Libraries." Change the name of the "iTunes Library.itl" file in your iTunes folder to something else, then copy the most recent library file in the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder to your iTunes folder and rename it "iTunes Library.itl"
7.6 seems to be quite a turd. I haven't had any problems since downgrading to 7.5.

How do I downgrade from iTunes 10.5.2 to 10.5?

About the time I upgraded iTunes for Mac from 10.5 to 10.5.1 I was no longer able to change Import Settings>>AAC Encoder>>Custom. I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8 on a early 2010 Mac mini. When I click on the Custom... drop down list for AAC Encoder, it fills the Details box with, "64 kbps (stereo), 44.100 kHz, High Efficiency, using voice filtering, optimized for MMX/SSE2."
It never opens up the box letting me choose options. I want to choose 320 kbps.
Today I noticed there was an update from 10.5.1 to 10.5.2. I was hoping this would fix it, but it did not.
Any help will be greatly appreceiated.

How do i downgrade my itunes?

I've used the new itunes for a few months now and am absoulutly sick of it. the final straw was the hour i spent trying to import a few songs onto my mothers new iphone. Before i could just drag and drop it was simple and effcient now it's a pain in the *** to do anything productive.
The old one was much better and i would like it back. if I cannot upgrade to the old version i could use suggestions for better music players that are compatible with iphone 4.
I am on windows 7 x64
Thanks

The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
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)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
With iTunes 11.0.3 and later you can enable artwork in the Songs view from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view
View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) also contains options to change the sorting of grid based views
If 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 supporting 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.

How do i downgrade itunes 10.4 to itunes 10.3 in windows vista

How do I downgrade itunes 10.4 to 10.3

I just managed to downgrade from ITunes 10.5 to 10.4 w/o using Time Machine. Typically I have Time Machine backups, but I just downgraded from OS X Lion too, and was still trying to get my MacBook fine tuned again before doing a fresh backup again.
So it was a long shot, but here's what I tried and it worked perfect. It also might appear to be difficult, but as long as you can cut/paste and know a little about file folders, this won't take more than 5 minutes.
1. I removed the entire itunes folder from the "Music" folder and copied it to the desktop.
(Macintosh HD/users/<yourname>/Music/iTunes)
2. I downloaded iTunes 10.4 and did a fresh install. I restarted the application, which recreated the iTunes folder (and files) back in the "Music" folder. Then quit the application completely.
3. I went to the original iTunes folder that I copied to the desktop, and deleted the most recent file from the iTunes library. For the purpose of this illustration...I had several, but my latest was "iTunes Library 2011-08-16.itl".
(Desktop/iTunes/Previous iTunes Libraries/iTunes Library 2011-08-16.itl)
4. Now cut/paste the "original" file from desktop back into the iTunes folder you've just recreated. When it prompts you to overwrite the existing files, reply "YES" to all, and let the folder finish.
5. Your Done! Now open iTunes again...all your files and playlists, will be there.
The reason I downgraded, was the new iTunes 10.5, wouldn't collapse on my MacBook so I could see all playlists and detailed song info. It basically opened up "full screen", but only allowed me to scroll through song files, but not playlists, etc.
I hope this helps somebody...I was really struggling because of the size of my music library (24,000+), and really didn't want to begin with a fresh install, and recreating my playlists from scratch.
Good Luck!
